DVD #291 – Sun in Virgo (Archetype — Seven Rays from Virgo)

Lecture given in the Aquarian Education Group’s old temple in Sedona, Arizona on August 29, 1996.

“At the beginning of our chain, we are told that a Great Being, called Manu, at the first Round of the Earth Chain brought the archetypes of all future forms. These archetypes were and are “electro-models,” models built by electrical waves, which slowly materialize themselves and provide the blueprints around which the forms of all nature are built or are in the process of being built.”

“Our archetype incarnates through matter, century after century, until the form reflects perfectly the whole nature of the archetype. This accounts for the fact that nature, whether it be a flower or the body of a man, goes through slow but progressive development toward more beauty.”

– Cosmos in Man, p. 31

“Archetypes are dynamic thoughtforms built of cosmic substance and are the ones which push our culture and civilization forward toward perfection.”

– The Hierarchy and the Plan, p. 16

“Every form has its prototype, archetype. These prototypes or archetypes are called primordial ideas, which act as causes to produce their reflections on lower planes. On the physical plane we have the materialized form of the idea. When we speak about reality, we refer to the prototypes, to the archetypes. They are the future of the form. Every form strives toward the future to be like the prototype.”

– The Psyche and Psychism, p. 1140
