Compassion - The Spirit of Truth

By Helena Petrovna Blavatsky

Deity is Unerring Karman or Abstract Nature: 1 The Mind and Soul of the Universe

Knowing that Nature never did betray The heart that loved her; ’tis her privilege, Through all the years of this our life, to lead From joy to joy; for she can so inform The mind that is within us, so impress With quietness and beauty, and so feed With lofty thoughts . . . — William Wordsworth

Duration and Motion are Nature’s primary attributes, “There exists in Nature one universal Law with two primary manifesting laws as its attributes — Motion and Duration. There is but one eternal infinite uncreated Law — the ‘One Life’ of the Buddhist Arhats, or the Parabrahm of the Vedantins-Advaitas.”

Spirit-Matter and Motion, Her secondary attributes unified by The One. But can the Absolute have any relation to the conditioned or the finite? Reason and metaphysical philosophy answer alike — No. The “Self-existent” can only be the Absolute, and esoteric philosophy calls it therefore the “Causeless Cause,” the Absolute Root of all, with no attributes, properties or conditions. It is the one UNIVERSAL LAW of which immortal man is a part, and which, therefore, he senses under the only possible aspects — those of absolute immutability transformed into absolute activity — on this plane of illusion — or eternal ceaseless motion, the ever Becoming. Spirit, Matter, Motion, are the three attributes, on this our plane. In that of self-existence the three are ONE and indivisible. Hence we say that Spirit, Matter, and Motion are eternal, because [they are] one, under three aspects.

While the Central Sun keeps making worlds go around, awakening life, It is the Sun-fluids or Emanations that impart all motion and awaken all into life in the Solar System. It is attraction and repulsion, but not as understood by modern physics and according to the laws of gravity; but in harmony with the laws of manvantaric motion designed from the early Samdhya, the Dawn of the rebuilding and higher reformation of the System. These laws are immutable; but the motion of all the bodies — which motion is diverse and alters with every minor Kalpa — is regulated by the Movers, the Intelligences within the Cosmic Soul.

There is no rest or cessation of motion in Nature. There is an inherent law — not only in the primordial, but also in the manifested matter of our phenomenal plane — by which Nature correlates her geometrical forms, and later, also, her compound elements; and in which there is no place for accident or chance. It is a fundamental law in Occultism, that there is no rest or cessation of motion in Nature.
It is the knowledge of this law that permits and helps the Arhat to perform his Siddhis, or various phenomena, such as disintegration of matter, [and] the transport of objects from one place to another.
