COURSE OBJECTIVES :

THE AIM OF THIS COURSE IS TO TEACH YOU :

The course explains the mental body as the vehicle through which the Self manifests as concrete intellect, during which time we develop the powers of the mind, which includes memory and imagination. In later stages of man’s evolution, the mental body serves as a separate and distinct vehicle of consciousness in which the man can live and function quite apart from both his physical and his astral bodies.The student will gain an understanding that in esoteric psychology the mental equipment of man is divided into two distinct portions: (a) the mental body, which deals with particulars, known to us as concrete thoughts eg., a book, house etc., (b) the causal body which deals with principles, abstract thoughts eg. books or houses in general.  We learn how the mental body deals with form-thoughts, while the causal body deals with formless thoughts. Next we deal with that strange, semi-intelligent, and intensely active life-substance known as the Mental Elemental Essence, and the part it plays in helping man to think. The details of the structure and composition of the mental body will be understood as well as a description of typical examples of mental bodies of men at various stages of development. We will examine the association or entanglement between Desire and Thought.

The twofold action of thought in its own world must be described, the radiation of waves of thought and the formation, and in many cases the projection of thought-forms into space. We will study the effect which these two classes of phenomena produce on their creators and on other people as we deal with Thought-Transference, which we consider as Unconscious and Conscious.The student will learn the effect which the physical surroundings in general produce on the mental body and its workings; conversely, we examine the effects which the mental body produces on the physical body and on other physical objects.
