 [on Electric Fire, Synthesis, p. 1231 TCF] … All that it will be possible for us
to do in this section will be to impart the truth in three ways.

1. Through the illumination of the student's mind as he studies the stanzas

of Dzyan which will be found at the commencement of the treatise.

2. Secondly, through the realisation that will come to the student as he

correlates and ponders upon the various occult fragments found
scattered through the pages, primarily centering his attention upon
the following words:
"The secret of the Fire lies hid in the second letter of the Sacred Word. The
mystery of life is concealed within the heart. When the lower point vibrates, when
the Sacred Triangle glows, when the point, the middle centre and the apex,
connect and circulate the Fire, when the threefold apex likewise burns, then the
two triangles—the greater and the lesser—merge into one Flame, which burneth
up the whole."

3. Thirdly, through the consideration of the various charts and word

pictures which will be found also scattered through the Treatise.

The student of the new era will approach much that he has to master
through the medium of the eye, learning thereby to appreciate and
solve that which is presented to him in the form of lines and diagrams.

All is symbol and these symbols must be mastered.

Note Seed Group 4, Task 3 (and the 12-fold nature of that numbering.
Read The 7 Rays and the 9 Initiations pages, p. 247-285, to the end about the Seventh Initiation.
The “key to the significance and the clue to the secret of this rule
are … given to applicants (Initiation, Human and Solar.)”

Roughly, with related notes Preparatory Rule XIII reads:

4 things the disciple must learn and comprehend before he can be
shewn the inmost mystery:

1. The laws of that which radiates [see laws of the Soul or Group Life, EP., p. 85-87,
bottom p. 152-153, bottom p. 214 to top p. 216, Esoteric Healing, bottom sentence p. 522-523
‘law of essential integrity’, Treatise on White Magic, p. 331 & 340.Stanza XII or p. 526 TCF
Section II C II 3 c, Rays and Initiations, Law of Supplementary Seven – review all; “7 centres of
energy in individual man”, etc.]
2. The five meanings of magnetisation [See R&I, p. 376-377 “To put the matter as
simply as possible …” five modes that magnetic potency functions.]
3. Transmutation or the secret lost of alchemy
4. The first letter of the word imparted, or the hidden name egoic.

[see R&I, p. 262-263 for #3 and #4 higher correspondences. reference all necessary.
Note p. 259, “the applicant has become soul conscious” … Starting “The simplicity
of the subject is great and yet it is ever deemed to be complex.”
Save this for another presentation.
The man who undertakes the practice of occult meditation literally "plays with fire." …
"Playing with fire" is an old truth that has lost its significance through flippant repetition, yet it
is absolutely and entirely correct, and is not a symbolic teaching but a plain statement of fact.

Fire forms the basis of all—the Self is fire, the intellect is a phase of fire,
and latent in the microcosmic physical vehicles lies hid a veritable fire
that can either be a destructive force, burning the tissue of the body
and stimulating centres of an undesirable character,
or be a vivifying factor, acting as a stimulating and awakening agent.

When directed along certain prepared channels,

this fire may act as a purifier and the great connector
between the lower and the Higher Self.

In meditation the student seeks to contact the divine flame that is his Higher Self,
and to put himself likewise en rapport
with the fire of the mental plane.

When meditation is forced, or is pursued too violently, before the alignment between the higher and lower
bodies via the emotional is completed, this fire may act on the fire latent at the base of the spine (that fire
called kundalini) and may cause it to circulate too early. This will produce disruption and destruction instead
of vivification and stimulation of the higher centres. There is a proper geometrical spiralling which this fire
should follow, dependent upon the ray of the student and the key of the vibration of his higher centres. This
fire should only be permitted to circulate under the direct instruction of the Master and consciously distributed
by the student himself, following the specific oral instructions of the teacher. Sometimes the fire may be
aroused and spiral with correctness without the student knowing what is occurring on the physical plane; but
on the inner planes he knows and has but failed to bring the knowledge through to the physical plane
consciousness.

the third reference, given, the second in Treatise on Cosmic Fire, p. 172

Context of prefacing paragraphs, 1. The Nature of the Centres

5. The swastika. At this stage the centre becomes fourth-
dimensional; the inner rotating cross begins to turn upon its axis, and
to drive the flaming periphery to all sides so that the centre is better
described as a sphere of fire than as a wheel. It marks the stage of
the Path in its two divisions, for the process of producing the effect
described covers the whole period of the Path. At the close, the
centres are seen as globes of radiant fire with the spokes of the wheel
(or the evolution of the cross from the point in the centre) merging and
blending into a "fire that burneth up the whole."

A brief sentence has its place here owing to its relation to this
subject. Another sentence is also added here, which, if meditated
upon, will prove of real value and will have a definite effect upon one
of the centres, which centre it is for the student himself to find out.

some utilisation of the lines of the cube, and their demonstration in a
form of some kind. … when he steps upon the Path of Discipleship, the
purpose consists in merging all these many lines into one line, and Achievement
gradually this consummation is achieved.
of Alignment
The Master is He Who has blended all the lines of fivefold development
first into the three,
and then into the one.
The six-pointed star becomes
the five-pointed star,
the cube becomes
the triangle, and
the triangle becomes the one; whilst the one (at the
end of the greater cycle) becomes the point in the
circle of manifestation.

Hence the effort made to teach all devotees simplicity, based on a trinity
of foundation truths, and the inculcation of one-pointedness.
