1Each year of life, the Earth, in her orbit, transits the point in space which she occupied at a person’s birth, or in other words, the Sun returns to the same sign and degree of the Zodiac that he occupied in the horoscope. In this transit, the Solar force renews the life en¬ ergies of the Soul and regalvanizes them with additional force (we are speaking spiritually, understand). These germs of new forces are Virtues, Powers, Potencies and Deific attributes of the great Solar Orb. They are spiritual ovums, or seeds of human possibilities, and if con¬ sciously nourished and cherished will evolve powers and states within the Human Soul, which correspond in their action to our hidden spiritual attributes. If unnoticed, uncared for, they remain until other forces polarize them, and then pass onward down their cycle. When the Moon, in the course of her motion, arrives at the same place during each month, she impregnates these seeds and endows them with magnetic life; therefore, in an occult sense, she confers upon humanity the powers and possibilities of magical forces. It is this Luni-Solar influx of Naronia within the human constitution, then, that controls the real foundation and basis of spiritual development and occult power. Remember these most important facts, then, and, guided by your own spiritual intuitions in the matter, use this knowledge according to the light which Nature has already given you, or which you shall o NARONIA 127
2hereafter receive. We have revealed to you the mystery of Naronia; have given you an outline sketch of its basis in Nature, and its phil¬ osophy in human evolution, as near as it is possible without leading you out of your safe path, or bringing you nigh unto dangerous ground. For those who are ready to utilize this mystery, what we have here said will be plain and easy of comprehension. For those who are not yet ready, rest assured, it is wiser to wait until your spiritual nature is more highly developed. CHAPTER VIII SOUL KNOWLEDGE THE LOGOS, OR BOOK OF WISDOM Explanatory Note: The Atama Bodha or Book of Soul Knowledge, is copied from a free translation of a very Ancient Sanskrit Manuscript, written upon Palm Leaves, and cannot be obtained except in rare and isolated Buddhist convents in the remote parts of India and Tartary. It is therefore placed at the disposal of Neophytes as a valuable Manuscript, of an unique and exceedingly rare work of great merit. T. H. Burgoyne, Private Secretary. BOOK I THE LOGOS, OR BOOK OF WISDOM “The Qualities cannot know the soul (Divine Ego), But the Soul knows all Qualities.” Mokah. “Know the Divinity that is within you. That you may know the Divine One, Of which your Soul is but a ray.” Proclus.
3“He who sees all things in the Soul, and the Soul in all things, does not slight anything. It is more refined than an atom, and cannot be approached by argumentation. The truly wise, knowing the ubiquitous Soul, which sees the wakeful and the profoundly sleeping states, do not mourn. The Soul is pure, because it does not participate in the Qual¬ ities; it is distinct from the Qualities, because it is, itself, wisdom.” From the Sanskrit work, Katha. “Know, then, that salvation is not attained by uttering Mantras, or by the burning of incense, or observing thousands of fasts. Until the incarnated Soul knows that he is divine, he cannot attain salva¬ tion.” Mahanirvana Tantra. “As in a deamond (Magic) mirrow, one cannot see forms re¬ flected, so a Spirit with immature organs cannot attain knowledge. As in unripe fruit, sweet juice cannot be found, so is knowledge not found in an undeveloped organism. The knowledge of the Divine element being in us, is, therefore, the first requisite, and as we acquire that knowledge, we progress in the development of the inner life, and SOUL KNOWLEDGE 129 any protest against that knowledge shuts us out from the Spiritual Life.” Yagnaval Kya. ATAMA BODHA I. This book of Soul Knowledge is composed for those who have effaced their sins by penitence, who have attained the perfect tran¬ quillity, who have destroyed their passions, and who aspire to the final deliverance.
