Cycles of activity and passivity on a microcosmic scale

There are two cycles of being which every microcosm goes through on a fairly regular basis.

These two cycles of being are known as activity and passivity.

There are lesser and higher cycles of activity and passivity.

The lesser cycles of activity and passivity are relegated to the realm of the personality.

The higher cycles of activity and passivity are relegated to the realm of the soul and Monad.



Activity = movement, sound, action, sun, extrovertive energy or force .....

Passivity = rest, silence, non-action, moon, intravertive energy or force ....


Activity on a microcosmic scale : The lesser cycle of activity

The microcosm periodically undergoes periods of activity. The microcosm is active.

Some examples of microcosmic activity :

Physical body - During the day, the physical body is continuously engaged in creating and performing concrete actions. The physical body is a creator and performer of concrete actions. The physical body is active.

Emotional body - The emotional body is continously engaged in creating and expressing various emotions and desires. The emotional body is actively creating and expressing different emotional states. The emotional body is active. (Usually is actively creating disturbing, turbulent emotional states)

Mental body - The mental body is continously engaged in creating and expressing various thoughts and ideas. The mental body is actively creating and expressing different mental states. The mental body is active. (Usually is actively engaged in creating disturbing, turbulent mental states)

Personality - The personality is the combined form (or force) of the physical, emotional, and mental bodies. When the physical, emotional, and mental bodies are active, the personality as a whole is in an active state. On another level, as long as the personality exists on the planes of matter, the personality will always be subjected to continously experience various forms of lesser activity. Movement of this kind will not cease until the personality is liberated from the material world or more specifically, from the material consciousness.

The lesser cycle of activity is in full swing until the arrival of the lesser cycle of passivity.


Passivity on a microcosmic scale: The lesser cycle of passivity and the commencent of the higher cycle of activity.

The microcosm periodically undergoes periods of in-activity or rest. The microcosm is passive.

Some examples of microcosmic passivity:

Physical body - During the night, the physical body gradually ceases to engage in creating and performing concrete actions. The physical body eventually falls into a state of dormancy or sleep. The physical body ceases to act with the oncoming force of sleep. The physical body is passive.

Emotional body -The emotional body gradually ceases to engage in creating and expressing various emotions and desires. In other words, the emotional body can be stilled or brought to a point of equanamity or balance. When a great degree of peace is established on the emotional level, many of the more active emotional states eventually fade away. To put this slightly differently, with the arrival of the energies of peace,the emotional body gradually ceases to create the more disturbing, turbulent emotions. In essence, the thorough grounding of the energies of peace causes the emotional body to be silent. The emotional body becomes passive or peaceful.

Mental body - The mental body, like the emotional body, can be stilled or put to rest. When a great degree of peace is established on the mental level, many of the more active mental states eventually fade away. With the arrival of the energies of peace, the mental body gradually ceases to create the more disturbing mental states. The mental body becomes passive or peaceful.

Personality - When the sum total of the personality enters into a state or cycle of passivity, the flame of lesser activity is extinguished on the personality level and the peaceful presence of the soul is felt to greater and greater degrees. In essence, the cycle of lesser passivity causes the soul to incarnate into the physical, emotional, and mental bodies of the personality. When this occurs, a greater cycle of activity commences but this type of cycle of activity is of a higher nature. With the commencement of this higher cycle of activity, the soul increasingly begins to act through the vehicle of the personality.

In other words, when the cycle of personality activity ceases, the cycle of soul activity commences and the personality becomes an instrument of action for the soul.

The lesser cycle of activity is brought to an end by the lesser cycle of passivity. The lesser cycle of passivity brings about a higher cycle of activity. In the lesser cycle of activity, only the personality is active or is acting. During the higher cycle of activity, the soul controls the activity of the personality.

The higher cycle of passivity is when the Monad or I AM Presence begins to use the soul infused personality as an instrument of its doing. When the higher cycle of passivity commences, the Monad begins to act through the soul merged personality. In other words, during the higher cycle of passivity, the Monad begins to control its extension on earth. The Monad becomes the guiding force in one's life.


Short Summary:

Lesser cycle of activity = The personality is the guiding force in one's life.

Lesser cycle of passivity = The soul begins to guide one's life.

Higher cycle of activity = The soul is the guiding force in one's life.

Higher cycle of passivity = The monad begins to guide one's life
