Esoteric Psychology II - Chapter II - The Ray of Personality - Problems of Disciples and Mystics
Extract 2
  • Hearing gives him an idea of relative direction, and enables a man to fix his place in the scheme, and to locate himself.
  • Touch gives him an idea of relative quantity and enables him to fix his relative value as regards other bodies, extraneous to himself.
  • Sight gives him an idea of proportion, and enables him to adjust his movements to the movements of others.
  • Taste gives him an idea of value, and enables him to fix upon that which to him appears best.
  • Smell gives him an idea of innate quality, and enables him to find that which appeals to him as of the same quality or essence as himself.

In all these definitions it is necessary to bear in mind that the whole object of the senses is to reveal the not-self, and to enable the Self therefore to differentiate   between the real and the unreal.

Extract 3

These three major senses (if I might so describe them) are very definitely allied, each with one of the three Logoi:

  • Hearing - The recognition of the fourfold word, the activity of matter, the third Logos.
  • Touch - The recognition of the sevenfold Form Builder, the gathering together of forms, their approximation and interrelation, the second Logos. The Law of Attraction between the Self and the not-self begins to work.
  • Sight - The recognition of totality, the synthesis of all, the realization of the One in Many, the first Logos. The Law of Synthesis, operating between all forms which the self occupies, [563] and the recognition of the essential unity of all manifestation by the means of sight.

Extract 4

  • Hearing - Beatitude.
    This is realized through the not-self.
  • Touch - Service.
    The summation of the work of the Self for the not-self.
  • Sight - Realization.
    Recognition of the triplicity needed in manifestation, or the reflex action of the Self and the not-self.
  • Taste - Perfection.
    Evolution completed through the utilization of the not-self and its realized adequacy.
  • Smell - Perfected Knowledge.
    The principle of manas in its discriminating activity, perfecting the interrelation between the Self and the not-self.
