About this ebook

The Occultists call the second principle of man Jiva, while the Vedantins give that name only to the seventh principle, the Divine Monad in man — a universal principle — also called Jivatman in Buddhism and Theosophy. The term Jivatman is used only by the Buddhists, who make no difference between manifested and unmanifested Life. After death, the second principle of man (Jiva-Prana) returns to its source — Fohat, the Light of Logos.

There now follows a moving account by a Master of Wisdom on how, upon death, Saptaparna or the seven-leaved Man-plant withers, infolds, and its constituents return one after the other to their original state and source.

Adi-Buddha and Fohat defined: Adi-Buddha is not merely a state or condition, is it Primeval Wisdom. Everyone has his Bodhisattva and his Dhyani-Buddha, “Father of the Son.” This is our connecting link with the higher Hierarchy of Celestial Beings. Fohat is the representative of the Dhyani-Chohans on the objective plane, and of the Manasaputras on the subjective. Thus Fohat is the informing divine energy.
