Meditation enables a man to contact the Ego and to align the three lower bodies. It puts a man into an attitude of equilibrium, neither utterly receptive and negative, nor utterly positive, but at the point of balance. By the constant practice of this, the whole point of equilibrium is gradually shifted higher and higher, until the time comes when the lower point of attraction in the swinging and adjustment, is not the physical, touches not the emotional, contacts not the mental and the man is polarized in the spiritual consciousness from thenceforth. A man reaches the point of personality attainment in this cycle when he has the capacity to vibrate and move consciously on the fourth subplane. That particular incarnation will be one in which the man achieves the fullest expression of his lower self, - physically perfect, emotionally vibrant, and mentally colossal. Then succeeding that, begins the transference to a higher vibration, the keying up to the Higher Self, and the attuning of the Personality, to the dominant fifth of the Ego. It assists in the transference of the polarization from one of the permanent atoms of the Personality into the corresponding atom in the spiritual Triad.

Man at this time is engaged in many pursuits and through the force of circumstances he is polarized entirely in the lower self, that polarization being in either the emotional or mental body. As long as the polarization is purely physical or purely emotional, no need for meditation is ever felt. Even when the mental body is active, no urge arises until the man has run through many changes and many lives, has tasted the cup of pleasure and of pain through many incarnations, has sounded the depths of the life lived entirely for the lower self and found it unsatisfying. Then he begins to turn his thought to other things, to aspire to that which is unknown, to realize and sense within himself the pairs of opposites, and to contact within his consciousness possibilities and ideals undreamed of hitherto. He has come to a point where success, popularity and diverse gifts are his, and yet from their use he derives no content; always the urge within persists until the pain is so severe that the desire to reach out and up, to ascertain something and someone beyond, overcomes all obstacles. The man begins to turn within and to seek the source from whence he came. Then he begins to meditate, to ponder, to intensify vibration until in process of time he garners the fruits of meditation.
