The
Human Tide-Wave
Chapter 7
A GENERAL account has already
been given of the way in which the great evolutionary life-wave sweeps round
and round the seven worlds which compose the planetary chain of which our earth
is a part. Further assistance may now be offered, with the view of expanding
this general idea into a fuller comprehension of the processes to which it
relates. And no one additional chapter of the great story will do more towards
rendering its character intelligible, than an explanation of certain phenomena
connected with the progress of worlds, that may be conveniently called
obscurations.
Students of occult philosophy
who enter on that pursuit with minds already abundantly furnished in other
ways, are very liable to misinterpret its earlier statements. Everything cannot
be said at once, and the first broad explanations are apt to suggest
conceptions in regard to details which are most likely to be erroneous with the
most active-minded and intelligent thinkers. Such readers are not content with
shadowy outlines even for a moment. Imagination fills in the picture, and if
its work is undisturbed for any length of time, its author will be surprised
afterwards to find that later information is incompatible with that which he
had come to regard as having been distinctly taught in the beginning. Now in
this treatise the writer’s effort is to convey the information in such a way
that hasty weed growths of the mind may be prevented as far as possible, but in
this very effort it is necessary sometimes to run on quickly in advance,
leaving some details, even very important details, to be picked up during a
second journey over the old ground. So now the reader must be good enough to go
back to the explanation given in Chapter III of the evolutionary progress
through the whole planetary chain.
Some few words were said then
concerning manner in which the life impulse passed on from planet to planet in
“rushes or gushes; not by an even continuous flow.” Now the course of evolution
in its earlier stages is so far continuous that the preparation of several
planets for the final tidal-wave of humanity may be going on simultaneously.
Indeed, the preparation of all the seven planets may, at one stage of the
proceedings, be going on simultaneously but the important point to remember is,
that the main wave of evolution - the foremost growing wave - cannot be in more
than one place at any time. The process goes on in the way which may now be
described, and which the reader may be the better able to follow, if he
constructs either on paper or in his own mind a diagram consisting of seven
circles (representing the worlds) arranged on a ring. Calling them A,B,C
&c., it will be observed from what has been already stated that circle (or
globe) D stands for our earth. Now the kingdoms of Nature as known to
occultists, be it remembered, are seven in number, three having to do with
astral and elementary forces, preceding the grosser material kingdoms in the
order of their development. Kingdom 1 evolves on globe A, and passes on to B,
as kingdom 2 begins to involve on A. Carry out this system and of course it
will be seen that kingdom 1 is evolving on globe G, while kingdom 7, the human
kingdom, is evolving on globe A. But now what happens as kingdom 7 passes on to
globe B. There is no eighth kingdom to engage the activities of globe A. The
great processes of evolution have culminated in the final tidal-wave of
humanity, which, as it sweeps on, leaves a temporary lethargy of Nature behind.
When the life-wave goes on to B, in fact, globe A passes for the time into a
state of obscuration. This state is not one of decay, dissolution, or anything
that can be properly called death. Decay itself, though its aspect is apt to
mislead the mind, is a condition of activity in a certain direction, this
consideration affording a clue to the meaning of a great deal which is
otherwise meaningless, in that part of Hindu mythology which relates to the
deities presiding over destruction. The obscuration of a world is a total
suspension of its activity; this does not mean that the moment the last human
monad passes on from any given world, that world is paralyzed by any
convulsion, or subsides into the enchanted trance of a sleeping palace. The
animal and vegetable life goes on as before, for a time, but its character
begins to recede instead of advancing. The great life-wave has left it, and the
animal and vegetable kingdoms gradually return to the condition in which they
were found when the great life-wave first reached them. Enormous periods of
time are available for this slow process by which the obscured world settled
into sleep, for it will be seen that obscuration in each case lasts six times
*[Or we may say five times, allowing for the half period of morning which
precedes and the half period of evening which follows the day of full
activity.] as long as the period of each world’s occupation by the human
life-wave. That is to say, the process which is accomplished as above described
in connection with the passage of the life-wave from globe A to globe B, is
repeated all along the chain. When the wave passes to C, B is left in
obscuration as well as A. Then D receives the life-wave, and A. B. C, are in
obscuration. When the wave reaches G, all the preceding six worlds are in
obscuration. Meanwhile the life-wave passes on in a certain regular
progression, the symmetrical character of which is very satisfactory to
scientific instincts. The reader will be prepared to pick up the idea at once,
in view of the explanations already given of the way in which humanity evolves
through seven great races during each round period on a planet - that is to
say, during the occupation of such planet by the tidal wave of life. The fourth
race is obviously the middle race of the series. As soon as this middle point
is turned, and the evolution of the fifth race on any given planet begins, the
preparation for humanity begins on the next. The evolution of the fifth race on
E for example, is commensurate with the evolution, or rather with the revival,
of the mineral kingdom on D, and so on. That is to say, the evolution of the
sixth race on D, coincides with the revival of the vegetable kingdom on E, the
seventh race on D, with the revival of the animal kingdom on E, and then when
the last monads of the seventh race on D have passed into the subjective state
or world of effects, the human period on E begins, and the first race begins
its development there. Meanwhile the twilight period on the world preceding D
has been deepening into the night of obscuration in the same progressive way,
and obscuration there definitely sets in when the human period on D passes its
half-way point. But just as the heart of a man beats and respiration continues,
no matter how profound his sleep, there are processes of vital action which go
on in the resting world even during the most profound depths of its repose. And
these preserve, in view of the next return of the human wave, the results of
the evolution that preceded its first arrival. Recovery for the re-awaking
planet is a larger process than its subsidence into rest, for it has to attain
a higher degree of perfection against the return of the human life-wave, than
that at which it was left when the wave last went onward from its shore. But
with every new beginning, Nature is infused with a vigour of its own - the
freshness of a morning - and the later obscuration period, which is a time of
preparation and hopefulness as it were, invests evolution itself with a new
momentum. By the time the great life-wave returns, all is ready for its
reception.
In the first essay on this
subject it was roughly indicated that the various worlds making up our
planetary chain were not all of the same materiality. Putting the conception of
spirit at the north pole of the circle and that of matter at the south pole,
the worlds of the descending arc vary in materiality and spirituality, like
those of the ascending arc. This variation must now be considered more
attentively if the reader wishes to realize the whole processes of evolution
more fully than heretofore.
Besides the earth, which is
at the lowest material point, there are only two other worlds of our chain
which are visible to physical eyes - the one behind and the one in advance of
it. These two worlds, as a matter of fact, are Mars and Mercury - Mars being
behind and Mercury in advance of us - Mars in a state of entire obscuration now
as regards the human life-wave, Mercury just beginning to prepare for its next
human period. [It may be worth while here to remark for the benefit of people
who may be disposed, from physical science reading, to object that Mercury is too
near the Sun, and consequently too hot to be a suitable place of habitation for
Man, - that in the official report of the Astronomical Department of the United
States on the recent “Mount Whitney observations,” statements will be found
that may check too confident criticisms of occult science along that line. The
results of the Mount Whitney observations on selective absorption of solar rays
showed, according to the official reporter, that it would no longer be
impossible to suggest the conditions of an atmosphere which would render
Mercury habitable, at the one extreme of the scale, and Saturn at the
other. We have no concern with Saturn at present, nor if it were necessary to explain
on occult principles the habitability of Mercury, should the task be attempted
with calculations about selective absorption. The fact is that ordinary science
makes at once too much and two little of the Sun, as the storehouse of force
for the solar system, - too much in so far as the heat of planets has a great
deal to do with another influence quite distinct from the Sun, and influence
which will not be thoroughly understood till more is known than at present
about the correlations of heat and magnetism, and of the magnetic, meteoric
dust, with which inter-planetary space is pervaded. However it is enough - to
rebut any objection that might be raised against the explanation now in
progress, from the point of view of loyal devotees of last year’s science - to
point out that such objections would be already out of date. Modern science is
very progressive, - this is one of its greatest merits, - but it is not a
meritorious habit with modern scientists to think, at each stage of its
progress, that all conceptions incompatible with that stage must necessarily be
absurd.]
The two planets of our chain
that are behind Mars, and the two that are in advance of Mercury, are not
composed of an order of matter which telescopes can take cognizance of. Four
out of the seven are thus of an ethereal nature, which people who can only
conceive matter in its earthly form will be inclined to call immaterial. But
they are not really immaterial at all. They are simply in a finer state of
materiality than the earth, but their finer state does not in any way defeat
the uniformity of Nature’s design in regard to the methods and stages of their
evolution. Within the scale of their subtle “invisibility,” the successive
rounds and races of mankind pass through their stages of greater and less
materiality just as on this earth; but whoever would comprehend them must
comprehend this earth first, and work out their delicate phenomena by
correspondential inferences. Let us return therefore to the consideration of
the great life-wave in its aspects on this planet.
Just as the chain of worlds
treated as a unity has its north and south, its spiritual and material pole,
working from spirituality down through materiality up to spirituality again, so
the rounds of mankind constitute a similar series which the chain of globes
itself might be taken to symbolize. In the evolution of man in fact, on any one
plane as on all, there is a descending and an ascending arc; spirit, so to
speak, involving itself into matter, and matter evolving itself into spirit.
The lowest or most material point, in the cycle thus becomes the inverted apex
of physical intelligence, which is the masked manifestation of spiritual
intelligence. Each round of mankind evolved on the downward arc (as each race
of each round if we descend to the smaller mirror of the cosmos) must thus be
more physically intelligent than its predecessor, and each in the upward arc
must be invested with a more refined form of mentality commingled with greater
spiritual intuitiveness. In the first round therefore we find man, a relatively
ethereal being compared even on earth with the state he has now attained here,
not intellectual, but super-spiritual. Like the animal and vegetable shapes
around him, he inhabits an immense but loosely organized body. In the second
round he is still gigantic and ethereal, but growing firmer and more condensed
in body - a more physical man, but still, less intelligent than spiritual. In
the third round he has developed a perfectly concrete and compacted body, at first
the form rather of a giant ape than of a true man, but with intelligence coming
more and more into the ascendant. In the last half of the third round his
gigantic stature decreases, his body improves in texture, and he begins to be a
rational man. In the fourth round intellect, now fully developed, achieves
enormous progress. The earliest races with which the round begins, acquire
human speech as we understand it. The world teems with the results of
intellectual activity and spiritual decline. At the halfway point of the fourth
round here, the polar point of the whole seven-world period is passed. From
this point outwards the spiritual Ego begins its real struggle with body and
mind to manifest its transcendental powers. In the fifth round the struggle continues,
but the transcendental faculties are largely developed, though the struggle
between these on the one hand with physical intellect and propensity is fiercer
than ever, for the intellect of the fifth round, as well as its spirituality,
is an advance on that of the fourth. In the sixth round humanity attains a
degree of perfection both of body and soul, of intellect and spirituality,
which ordinary mortals of the present epoch will not readily realize in their
imaginations. The most supreme combinations of wisdom, goodness, and
transcendental enlightenment which the world has ever seen or thought of, will
represent the ordinary type of manhood. Those faculties which now, in the rare
efflorescence of a generation, enable some extraordinary gifted persons to
explore the mysteries of Nature and gather the knowledge of which some crumbs
are now being offered (through these writings and in other ways) to the
ordinary world, will then be the common appanage of all. As to what the seventh
round will be like, the most communicative occult teachers are solemnly silent.
Mankind in the seventh round will be something altogether too God-like for
mankind in the fourth round to forecast its attributes.
During the occupation of any
planet by the human life-wave, each individual monad is inevitably incarnated
many times. This has been partly explained. If one existence only be passed by
the monad in each of the branch races through which it must pass at least once,
the total number accomplished during a round period on one planet, would be 343
- the third power of seven. But as a matter of fact each monad is incarnated
twice in each of the branch races, and also comes in, necessarily, for some few
extra incarnations as well. For reasons which are not easy for the outsider to
divine, the possessors of occult knowledge are especially reluctant to give out
numerical facts relating to cosmogony, though it is hard for the uninitiated to
understand why these should be withheld. At present, for example, we shall not
be able to state what is the actual duration in years of the round period. But
a concession, which only those who have long been students of occultism by the
old method will fully appreciate, has been made about the numbers with which we
are immediately concerned; and this concession is valuable at all events, as it
helps to elucidate an interesting fact connected with evolution, on the
threshold of which we have now arrived. This fact is, that while the earth, for
example, is inhabited as at present, by fourth round humanity, by the wave of
human life, that is to say, on its fourth journey round the circle of the
worlds, there may be present among us some few persons, few in relation to the
total number, who, properly speaking, belong to the fifth round. Now, in the sense
of the term at present employed, it must not be supposed that by any miraculous
process, any individual unit has actually traveled round the whole chain of
worlds once more often than his compeers. Under the explanations just given as
to the way the tide-wave of humanity progresses, it will be seen that this is
impossible. Humanity has not yet paid its fourth visit even, to the planet next
in advance of our own. But individual monads may outstrip their companions as
regards their individual development, and so become exactly as mankind
generally will be when the fifth round has been fully evolved. And this may be
accomplished in two ways. A man born as an ordinary fourth round man, may, by
processes of occult training, convert himself into a man having all the
attributes of a fifth round man, and so become what we may call an artificial
fifth rounder. But independently of all exertions made by man in his present
incarnation, a man may also be born a fifth rounder, though in the midst of
fourth round humanity, by virtue of the total number of his previous
incarnations.
It x stands for the
normal number of incarnations which in the course of Nature a monad must go
through during a round period on one planet, and y for the margin of
extra incarnations into which by a strong desire for physical life he may force
himself during such a period, then, as a matter of fact, 24½ (x + y) may
exceed 28x; that is to say, in 3½ rounds a monad may have accomplished
as many incarnations as an ordinary monad would have accomplished in four
complete rounds. In less than 3½ rounds the result could not have been
attained, so that it is only now that we have passed the halfway point of
evolution on this halfway planet, that the fifth rounders are beginning to drop
in.
It is not possible in the
nature of things that a monad can do more than outstrip his companions by more
than one round. This consideration notwithstanding, Buddha was a sixth round
man, but this fact has to do with a great mystery outside the limits of the
present calculation. Enough for the moment to say that the evolution of a
Buddha has to do with something more than mere incarnations within the limits
of one planetary chain.
Since large numbers of lives
have been recognized in the above calculations as following one another in the
successive incarnations of an individual monad, it is important here, with the
view of averting misconceptions, to point out that the periods of time over
which these incarnations range are so great, that vast intervals separate them,
numerous as they are. As stated above, we cannot just now give the actual
duration of the round periods. Nor, indeed could any figures be quoted as
indicating the duration of all round periods equally, for these vary in length
within very wide limits. But here is a simple fact which has been definitely
stated on the highest occult authority we are concerned with. The present race
of humanity, the present fifth race of the fourth round period, began to
evolve about one million of years ago. Now it is not yet finished; but
supposing that a million years had constituted the complete life of the race,
[The complete life of a race is certainly much longer than this; but when we
get to figures of this kind we are on very delicate ground, for precise periods
are very profound secrets, for reasons uninitiated students (“lay chelas,” as
the adepts now say, coining a new designation to meet a new condition of
things) can only imperfectly divine. Calculations like those given above may be
trusted literally as far as they go, but must not rashly be made the basis of
others.] how would it have been divided up for each individual monad? In a race
there must be rather more than 100, and there can hardly be 120 incarnations
for an individual monad. But say even there have been already 120 incarnations
for monads in the present race already. And say that the average life of each
incarnation was a century, even then we should only have 12,000 years out of
the million spent in physical existence against 988.000 years spent in the
subjective sphere, or there would be an average of more than 8000 years between
each incarnation. Certainly these intervening periods are of very variable
length, but they can hardly ever contract to anything less than 1500 years -
leaving out of account of course the case of adepts who have placed themselves
quite outside the operation of the ordinary law - and 1500 years if not an
impossibly short, would be a very brief interval between two rebirths.
These calculations must be
qualified by one of two considerations, however. The cases of children dying in
infancy are quite unlike those of persons who attain full maturity, and for
obvious reasons, that the explanations now already given will suggest, A child,
dying before it has lived long enough to begin to be responsible for its
actions, has generated no fresh Karma. The spiritual monad leaves that child's
body in just the same state in which it entered it after its last death in
Devachan. It has had no opportunity of playing on its new instrument, which has
been broken before even it was tuned. A re-incarnation of the monad, therefore,
may take place immediately on the line of its old attraction. But the monad so
reincarnated is not to be spiritually identified in any way with the dead
child. So, in the same way, with a monad getting into the body of a born idiot.
The instrument cannot be tuned, so it cannot play on that any more than on the
child's body in the first few years of childhood. But both these cases are
manifest exceptions that do not alter the broad rule above laid down for all
persons attaining maturity, and living their earth lives for good or evil.
Annotations
Later information and study -
the comparison, that is to say, of the various branches of the doctrine, and the
collocation of other statements with those in the foregoing chapter - show the
difficulty of applying figures to the Esoteric Doctrines in a very striking
light. Figures may be quite trustworthy as representing broad averages, and yet
very misleading when applied to special cases. Devachanic periods vary for
different people within such very wide limits that any rule laid down in the
matter must be subject to a bewildering cloud of exceptions. To begin with, the
average mentioned above has no doubt been computed with reference to fully
matured adults. Between the quite young child who has no Devachanic period at
all and the adult who accomplishes an average period we have to take note of
persons dying in youth, who have accumulated Karma, and who must therefore
pass through the usual stages of spiritual development, but for whom the brief
lives they have spent have not produced causes which take very long to work
themselves out. Such persons would return to incarnation after a sojourn in the
world of effects of corresponding brevity. Again there are such things as
artificial incarnations accomplished by the direct intervention of the Mahatmas
when a chela who may not yet have acquired anything resembling the power
of controlling the matter himself, is brought back into incarnation almost
immediately after his previous physical death, without having been suffered to
float into the current of natural causes at all. Of course in such cases it may
be said that the claims the person concerned has established on the Mahatmas
are themselves natural causes of a kind, the intervention of the Mahatmas, who
are quite beyond the liability of acting capriciously in such a matter, being
so much fruit of effort in the preceding life, so much Karma. But still either
way such cases would be equally withdrawn from the operation of the general
average rule
Clearly it is impossible when
the complicated facts of an entirely unfamiliar science are being presented to
untrained minds for the first time, to put them forward with all their
appropriate qualifications, compensations and abnormal developments visible
from the beginning. We must be content to take the broad rules first and deal
with the exceptions afterwards, and especially is this the case with occult
study, in connection with which the traditional methods of teaching, generally
followed, aim at impressing every fresh idea on the memory, by provoking the
perplexity it at last relieves. In relation to another matter dealt with in the
preceding pages, an important exception in Nature has thus, it seems to me now,
been left out of account. The description I have given of the progress of the
human tide-wave is quite coherent as it stands, but since the publication of
the original edition of this book some criticism was directed, in India, to a
comparison between my version of the story and certain passages in other
writings, known to emanate from a Mahatma. A discrepancy between the two
statements was pointed out, the other version assuming the possibility that a
monad actually might have traveled round the seven planets once more
often than the compeers among whom he might ultimately find himself on this
earth. My account of the obscurations appears to render this contingency
impossible. The clue to the mystery appears to lie outside the domain of those
facts concerning which the adepts are willing to speak freely; and the reader
must clearly understand that the explanation I am about to offer is the fruit
of my own speculation and comparison of different parts of the doctrine - not
authentic information received from the author of my general teaching.
The fact appears to be that
the obscurations are so far complete as to present all the phenomena above
described in regard to each planet they affect as a whole. But
exceptional phenomena for which we must be ever on the alert, come into play
even in this matter. The great bulk of humanity is driven on from one planet to
the next by the great cyclic impulse when its time comes for such a transition,
but the planet it quits is not utterly denuded of humanity, nor is it,
in every region of its surface rendered, by the physical and climatic
changes that come on, unfit to be the habitation of human beings. Even during
obscuration a small colony of humanity clings to each planet, and the monads
associated with these small colonies following different laws of evolution, and
beyond the reach of those attractions which govern the main vortex of humanity
in the planet occupied by the great tide-wave, pass on from world to world
along what may be called the inner round of evolution, far ahead of the race at
large. What may be the circumstances which occasionally project a soul even
from the midst of the great human vortex, right out of the attraction of the
planet occupied by the tide wave, and into the attraction of the Inner Round -
is a question that can only be a subject for us at present of very uncertain
conjecture.
It may be worth while to draw
attention, in connection with the solution I have ventured to offer as
applicable to the problem of the Inner Rounds to the way in which the fact of
Nature I assume to exist, would harmonize with the widely diffused doctrines of
the Deluge. That portion of a planet which remained habitable during an
obscuration would be equivalent to the Noah’s Ark of the biblical narrative
taken in its largest symbolical meaning. Of course the narrative of the Deluge
has minor symbolical meanings also, but it does not appear improbable that the
Kabalists should also have associated with it, the larger significance now
suggested. In due time when the obscured planet grew ready once more to receive
a full population of humanity, the colonists of the ark would be ready to
commence the process of populating it afresh.
