In the third root race, the Lemurian, the physical aspect of man was carried to a high stage of perfection. Later in the great race which preceded ours, the Atlantean, which perished in the flood, the emotional nature of man was developed. Then in the race to which we belong, the Aryan or fifth race, the development of the mind is the goal. Human mind has reached a stage in his evolution where he is consciously and positively under the control of his own higher self.
The goal for each one of us is the development of the powers of the soul. The powers of the physical body, which we use every day, put us in contact with individuals, but when we have developed the powers of the soul, and have unfolded its potentialities, will enable us to live as does the Logos. Then, the soul will become clairaudient and clairvoyant, which means the capacity to hear and see as clearly and accurately upon the subtler planes as we do upon the physical. It will involve the ability to hear and see all that concerns the group - that is, to hear and see in the fourth and fifth dimensions. "The fourth dimension is the ability to see through and around a thing. The fifth dimension is the ability, for instance, to take an eye, and by means of that eye to put oneself en rapport with all other eyes in the solar system.
The majority of us control our physical bodies consciously, making them carry out our behests upon the physical plane. Some of us control our emotions consciously, but very few of us can control the mind. Most of us are controlled by our desires, and by our thoughts. When we shall consciously control our threefold lower nature, time will then not exist for us at all. We shall have that continuity of consciousness upon the three planes of being physical, emotional, and mental - which will enable us to live as does the Logos, in that very metaphysical abstraction, the Eternal Now.
The law of attraction and repulsion, whereby matter and spirit are coordinated, whereby the central life gains experience, expands its consciousness, and, through the use of that particular form attains self-knowledge and self-control.
