The Kingly Science of the Soul
“The Kingly Science of the Soul,” or Raja Yoga, is a science of the mind that
reaches us from the East, its origins veiled by the mists of time. No-one knows for
certain when Patanjali, its first codifier, lived. What relevance can such an ancient
system hold for the modern world? The surprising answer is that it has been designed
to come to its full flower in the West, in the current phase of conscious evolution.
Why should this be so? The answer lies in a potent numerical correspondence: for the
mind is the fifth principle; and the fifth root race is in full flower, and its fifth
sub-race is now a leading factor in world events. Just as the preceding root race,
the fourth or Atlantean, revealed the emotional nature and the expression of beauty
and colour through art; so, the fifth race is bringing the mind to a new zenith of
creative power, in the realm of science and technology above all. Now the time has
come for this power to serve a higher purpose than simple material benefit. The light
of the mind has reached its intended point of maximum brilliance for this era; now it
must be superseded by the light of the soul.
Raja Yoga offers the techniques and methods to achieve this transformation of the mind.
Step by step, there is revealed a way of calming its restlessness, so harnessing its
creativity to a higher purpose infused with love. Higher and lower mind are brought
into right relationship, and the radiance of the eternal shines through the meditator
into the world of temporary forms. Thus the meditator, bridging heaven and earth, helps
to redeem and uplift all beings.
Such is the work of Raja Yoga; and Triangles is so clearly a significant part of it.
The Triangles worker explicitly sets out to redeem planetary substance, infusing it
with light and love. The eternal archetype of the triangle directs these energies; and
the global network forms a jewelled net through which they can circulate endlessly.
As each triangle flames into life, activated by any of its members, it augments the
process of bringing heaven and earth into ever-closer harmony. Indeed, through Raja
Yoga and through Triangles, we are seeking to irradiate the whole Earth, so that it
can take its rightful place within the wider network of the heavens, as a shining
jewel in the cosmic firmament.
