We have now seen how all that happens within the earth itself is regulated by the Angels as regards the individual men, by Archangels as regards the relation between individuals and the large masses of humanity, and by the Spirits of Personality for the whole development of man, from the Lemurian period up to the period when man will again be so largely spiritualised that he will hardly belong to the earth.</span></div>

These are the Powers or Spirits of Form; yesterday we characterised their task from above downwards, now we characterise them from below upwards. The spirits whose care it is to see that the whole of humanity should be led from one planetary condition to another, are the Powers, Exusiai or Spirits of Form.</span></div>

<p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">I found an excerpt from Zhuan Falun that talks about the countless subatomic worlds within ones self. A fascinating read:</p>
<p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM"></p>
<p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM"><strong class="_12FoOEddL7j_RgMQN0SNeU">"Daoists have always regarded the human body as a microcosm, and hold that this inner universe is as large as the outer one and faithfully reflects it. The idea might seem a bit of a stretch and hard to fathom; there doesn’t seem to be grounds for likening the human body to the universe, given the latter’s size. But there is a logic to it that can be explained. Contemporary physics is engaged in research on the composition of matter, and it has progressed from molecules to atoms, electrons, protons, and quarks, reaching all the way to neutrinos.</strong></p>
<p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM"><strong class="_12FoOEddL7j_RgMQN0SNeU">At these levels microscopy doesn’t have the power to see what exists or know what sizes of particles lie yet further below; researchers don’t know what exists at even more micro of planes. Physics today is still nowhere near reaching the tiniest particles of the universe. Nevertheless, the invisible, miniature realms of those particles might be perceptible to someone who has gone beyond normal physical form, for he would see, with magnified vision, subatomic worlds that are still greater, in keeping with his level of spiritual attainment.</strong></p>
<p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM"><strong class="_12FoOEddL7j_RgMQN0SNeU">The Buddha described the vastness of the universe after having witnessed it at his level of attainment. His teaching implied that there are other beings in the Milky Way galaxy with physical bodies similar to ours, and that even in just a single grain of sand a great many worlds can be found. This is consistent with modern physics, as the orbiting of electrons around a nucleus is really no different from that of the Earth around the Sun. And so the Buddha taught that in smaller, invisible realms a great many worlds can be seen even in just a grain of sand; meaning, a grain of sand is similar to a universe where lives and a multitude of things exist.</strong></p>
<p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM"><strong class="_12FoOEddL7j_RgMQN0SNeU">Then assuming that’s valid, within the worlds inside a single grain of sand, there would again be sand, presumably. And within that sand we would expect to find yet more worlds. And then in those worlds inside the sand we would expect to again find still more sand. It could go on endlessly. And so even the Buddha, with his level of spiritual awakening, concluded that the universe was both “infinitely large and infinitely small.” This suggests that it is so large he couldn’t see its perimeter, and so small that he couldn’t determine what the tiniest elemental substance is at the origin of matter.</strong></p>
<p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM"><strong class="_12FoOEddL7j_RgMQN0SNeU">There are masters who have said that a city can be seen in a single pore of the skin, complete with moving cars and trains. While that might sound far-fetched at first, it proves reasonable if it’s considered in a scientific spirit and with a genuine intent to understand. While I was talking about the opening of the inner eye, I mentioned that many who have experienced it have had visions where they are moving along a seemingly endless tunnel in their forehead region. And each day as they exercise or meditate they see themselves moving forward, with mountains and rivers to the sides; and they pass through cities and see a number of people.</strong></p>
<p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM"><strong class="_12FoOEddL7j_RgMQN0SNeU">They are apt to think it’s a figment of their imaginations. I can dispel any doubts and tell you that those things were not imagined; what they saw was very clear. Things like those shouldn’t be written off as imaginary, if the world within the body is as vast as masters have seen with their inner eyes. Remember that Daoist thought has long maintained that the human body is a universe unto itself. It’s only to be expected, then, that the distance from your forehead to the pineal gland, [where the inner eye is located,] is going to be enormous in that inner universe—making it feel like a really long way."</strong></p>

I would like to hear some thinking regarding Ancient Wisdom originating from a pre-deluvian source and having been passed down through a process managed by Higher Consciousness which maintains the purity/veracity of that wisdom.<br />
<br />
As we research philosophies throughout history I think it is possible to retrace specific instances of successive influence patterns which reveal a connective process aligning one particular "Process of Being" attaching it today with its origins.<br />
<br />
Many researchers will tell us that much of the ancient truth has been infested over time, which would be a logical assumption. But, from recent archaeological findings it is becoming more evident that many ancient myths seem to be sharing eerily similar events and characters in spite of vast distance between them. So, invariably corrupted by individual cultural bias, scholars are beginning to fall into line with the thinking that there is portions of truth hidden within many myths.<br />
<br />
That being said, I would propose that there is also a succession of knowledge which has been passed down through the ages uncorrupted, remaining in its purest form of expression, and presented in ways that are only realized by minds which find the way to connect with it. An ancient wisdom which is usually not accepted by the mainstream of various eras, and often made available to only a few elite seekers, many of which are not socially available characters, or are even considered ignorant fanatics by society. Which would be expected given that truth is often held in disregard by fallacy.<br />
<br />
What are your thoughts and is there any research into such gnostic transmission that can be recommended? Dalia Lama and Tibettag:theosophy.net,2020-10-20:3055387:Topic:1803612020-10-20T17:30:10.869ZM K Ramadosshttps://theosophy.net/profile/MKR
