polarity, can manifest negativity which can cause many mental problems.
Thought forms come to us in three fundamental directions. The first is
from the Higher Self, which dictates our life's journey and the karmic destinies
to be carried out. The second is the influence of other thought
forms, group or otherwise, that can also influence this body. Finally, there
is impetus that is received from the Emotional Body which isgained from
our life experiences and which can slightly alter the initial frequency the
Mental Body puts out. Normally the first takes predominance, while the
second and third are limited in their input.
Within occultism the first and second aspect are considered most,
for here things are done on an entirely unconscious level-a level which
gives the barest hint to the conscious mind. "Purity," that word which is
debated so much, relates to the purity of mind, and that means the purity
of all the other bodies. Unfortunately the seat of daily life on the conscious
level is in the Astral-Emotional Body, and this has more often than
not got in the way of the Higher thought forms filtering through when
the bodies are not in alignment. Carl lung once stated that the main purpose
of psychology is to bring the unconscious under conscious control,
and in essence this is the goal of auric body alignment and of the unification
of the varying stages of the Kabbalistic Soul.
Neschamah 102
This is the highest of three levels of the soul and in it there are three
divisions (counting the Neschamah itself). Mathers says:
Neschamath is either plural of Neschamah, defectively
written, or else shows that Neschamah is in regimene to
Chiim, and evidently means the united higher souls of
bothAdam and Eve conjoined in onebody.103
The Neschamah is analogous to pure spirit and can be likened to
the Jungian approach of the anima (corresponding to the Neschamah)
and animus (corresponding to the Chiah). Applied Kabbalistically to
the Partsufim theory, the anima is the Great Mother or Heh Force and
102The spelling of this seems to differ considerably in the Golden Dawn, with people like Mathers
spelling it a number of different ways. I have opted for this spelling throughout this text, except
where direct quotes are involved.
