.Color in the Visible and Invisible World 269 



If you comprehend what this implies, you will 

 be convinced beyond the possibility of forgetting, 

 that Higher Manas well named the Causal 

 Body has power to mould every cell, molecule, 

 'and atom in the lower sheaths to whatever meas- 

 ure of purity and harmony the soul may dictate. 

 Manas is spiritual self-consciousness in itself, and 

 Divine consciousness when united with Buddhi. 

 But only through a spirit of aspiration and self- 

 consecration to the highest can this union of Atma- 

 Buddhi-Manas be attained, and realize for us the 

 full activity of the spirit. 



You already realize that the physical self which 

 you know best is a sensitive harp played upon by 

 myriads of vibrating waves. The Principles, or 

 sheaths, are the tones in the human octave; and the 

 individual keynote is the tone and has the color of 

 the Principle most highly developed. The self 

 clearly proclaims itself, its stage of progress or 

 evolution through the colors which permeate it 

 through and through, and radiate in its enveloping 



aura.
