In the last few recaps, we have looked at matter in its four different stages of evolution, Primary, Secondary, Tertiary and Quaternary. In Recap 14, we then begin to explain how these four types of matter can interact. What results from this interaction and how is it useful to us in our journey through the 4th Kingdom of Nature?
It has been mentioned in a number of presentations that the primary atom is so energetic that it has to be shielded from its environment, if it descends below Plane-1. A primary atom is a monad; so is a secondary atom. The only difference between the two is the degree of consciousness. The former is potentially conscious and the latter, passively conscious. Finally, we end up with a quaternary monad. It is still as energetic as a primary monad but it is now encased in a cluster of 9.7 x 1070 other monads. This is the number of monads you now find making up the primary atomic level of the 43rd Plane of Matter. This plane of matter is the highest found in our Solar System. There are six planes of matter below Plane-43 and each has an atomic subplane as its foundational matrix. However, the quaternary monad is too energetic to actually descend directly into the Solar Systemic planes of matter. It, therefore, needs a proxy through which it can operate. Enter the Triad.
It is difficult to get one’s head around what exactly a triad is and how it operates. One possible way to model this structure is to imagine an envelope that has nine sub-compartments. Each sub-compartment exists on a different plane of matter. But wait a minute, there are only six planes below Plane-43, why do we have nine sub-compartments? Good question. The answer is found in a unique feature of our Solar System. On a cosmic scale, it occupies the seven lowest planes of matter, 43 to 49. This group of planes is known as the Cosmic Physical Kingdom. When we look out into the night sky, we actually only see the three lowest subplanes of Plane-49, yet there are six planes, with seven subplanes each, above Plane-49 and they are all part of a ‘Physical’ kingdom. The reason for this is that the Cosmic Physical Kingdom is not a principle kingdom when it comes to considering the Universe in its entirety. This is the same when in the past, we discussed how the physical organism, 49:5 to 49:7, is not considered a principle to our envelopes of incarnation. It should be pointed out that Planes 43:1 to Plane 43:3 are considered part of the cosmic Universe, whereas subplane Plane-43:4 is not. This is getting technical but it explains why you see these three subplanes represented outside the triadic grid that is frequently flashed on your screen.
Now back to those nine compartments; they exist because the Cosmic Physical Kingdom has seven planes, which themselves are divided into seven subplanes, of which only one is atomic. The six subplanes below the primary atomic plane are called molecular. Does this mean that these molecular subplanes are like molecules we find in our physical environment? Not really, but it is an analogy we can use to get some idea of the composition of these subplanes. It is correct to assume that these ‘molecular’ subplanes are composed of the matrix that comprises the atomic subplane of these seven planes of matter. Why do we need molecular subplanes at all? One possible reason could be that a less energetic home has to be found for Secondary and Tertiary matter to evolve through. If you think of an Elemental Essence, it is a single secondary monad, embedded in a large cluster of primary atoms. These primary atoms are not at the much higher energetic level of the 1st subplane of any plane of matter. This lower energetic level allows the secondary monad to operate within an environment, where its own energetic level can interact with the subdued energy levels of the primary atoms that form the bulk of the elemental essence. The payoff for the primary atoms in this arrangement is that they get to live in and experience the stream of ‘passive’ or ‘active’ consciousness that is generated when secondary and tertiary atoms are activated. This is how primary atoms are slowly woken up.
Ok, so a hypothesis has been presented why there may be a need for a molecular subplane. How does this feed into our triad? If our monad is not going any lower than the 43:1 subplane of matter, the reason for this being that it is going to fry any matter below this level, it has to have a base to focus itself, to gain experiences that it needs to expand its consciousness. This expansion, remember, starts from the Mineral Kingdom.
So, finally, what is a triad? The dictionary describes it as ‘permanent triplets of evolutionary atoms and molecules that accompany the monad, functioning as its instruments during the entire evolution from the Mineral Kingdom to the Sixth
natural kingdom inclusive.’ The keywords here are ‘evolutionary’ and ‘instrument’. These molecules and atoms are moving up the planes of matter, not involving down through them, as secondary matter was, therefore the word ‘evolutionary’ is used. The atoms and molecules of the triad are vehicles, hence the word ‘instruments’, for our monad to experience and evolve through the seven lowest planes of matter.
The diagram visualises it as nine discs. These discs present these atoms and molecules. Although you can see nine discs, only four of them are active in the human monad. The rest are held in trust by devas until we are able to activate them. This activation process always happens from below. Nobody is going to gift us higher consciousness, as is mistakenly believed by some students, who think our world is about to rise to a higher vibration and we automatically somehow become ‘cosmically’ conscious. Dream on.
Now let’s look at the triad as it functions for a human monad. We have a triad envelope. This is the lower half of the causal envelope. It is composed of atoms from the 47th Plane of Matter. These atoms are tertiary monadic structures. Contained within this greater envelope is a permanent mental molecule, 47:4 and two permeant atoms, 48:1 and 49:1. These atoms/molecule are clusters of tertiary matter again. It is through these clusters that our monad focuses its presence in the Solar Kingdom. Being contained within a triadic envelope, allows these three triadic structures to communicate instantly with one another. We have discussed in detail how the Mental, Emotional and Etheric envelopes communicate with one another. This is the easy part. It is much more difficult to communicate between the 1st, 2nd and 3rd triadic envelopes. The reason is, in the case of the causal envelope, the communication channels have been severed, due to past misdemeanours and need to be rebuilt. The second triadic envelope only has the causal envelope active. The Unity (46:1) and Lower Spiritual (45:4) structure have yet to be built by us; with a little help from the devas.
The triadic structure is presented as a grid but in reality, it is a string of connected atoms and molecule, clustered in three envelopes. When you look at how these permanent atoms and molecules are represented in this diagram, what you are looking at is the components of the 1st Triad, being held in the 2nd triad. When a new incarnation ensues, what is called the triadic envelope, is built out and takes these atoms and molecules with it. The only part of the 2nd Triad that is currently built out is the higher causal envelope itself. Our mental, emotional and etheric atoms/molecule build out their own envelopes but remain in touch with one another.
The causal envelope has been mentioned several times in this presentation. Let’s recap this envelope in the next presentation and also look at how the triadic structure has been represented in our literature. This gets to the heart of who we think we are.
