Natural order process The formative forces of Nature converge into
lines of force or what we call a field; then substance which is described as
etheric ‘materializes’. First, undifferentiated Light; second, lines of force,
converging into a definite pattern. Etheric substance is then formed in the
field, and out of this eventuates the configuration. This is what we call the
natural order creating process. The Natural Order Process (Vol I) p. 44. There
is an orderly process, rhythm, balance, etc., to structure and function which we
label the cosmic process. Ibid p. 3 Reality. Ibid p. 19. See Also Cosmic

consciousness as Real. Characterized and differentiated from the man state - to
show that goal, objective to strive for. Teachers’s Guide (Vol 1) p.4.
Characterized by the absence of dogmatism, dogmatic statements, self-opinionations,
etc. Due largely to the fact that this world is a dynamic process and therefore
non-static; consequently any statement made dogmatically would be erroneous on
the grounds that before the statement could be completed, changes have
eventuated respecting that which was spoken of or about. Teachers’s Guide (Vol
3) p. 21. See Also _.

Living in the consciousness of identification with this body as object vs. identification with a dynamic process, or a configuration of units of energy. Practices in Individual Development p. 21.
It is a state of consciousness in which one looks upon this physiological
organism as a thing, and his consciousness is thought to be ‘inside‘ of it. Ibid

p.39.A state labeled "man". Ibid p. 101. Out of the differentiation in the
essential nature of man that we label his autonomous field, the objective
self-conscious state was the first that was abstracted from it, means
identification with that appearance which the configuration creates in our
psychic consciousness. Studies in Psychotherapy p. 13. We have the
psycho-logical situation, or context of consciousness, for the first conscious
identification - belief that the ‘physical body’ as a ‘thing’ is as it seems to
sense, and that it is the self. . Self-Mastery Through Meditation p.29.
Unconscious, consciousness in identity with the objective appearance, the
objective world, etc., as it appears to the senses. Teachers’s Guide (Vol 2) p.
28. The configurational self, the psychological processes, and the Mind Level,
all motivated by the Power-to-be-conscious, whether called vital dynamism,
psycho-dynamism or the Christos, represent reality. From that reality we have
abstracted an unreality - the private world, the objective self-conscious state,
Objective manifold of values. Practice of the Way p. 29. The objective
self-conscious state consists of three parts: the configurational self
(instinctive awareness), the psychic self (personality), and the noetic self
(Individuality). The Christos p. 164 (chart). Means that the
Power-to-be-conscious - with which one functions - is identified with the
objective appearance of Its own state. The objective appearance of the mental
image which one has formulated from frequencies registered. Ibid p. 200.
Objective world The nether world, limited to sense registry,
formulated images appearing substantive and values given thereto....psychic

Orientation to Mind Level "Where two or three are gathered together in
my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Bible quote). Living en rapport in
the field of one of higher attainment imparts via information-carrying wave and
frequency, the consciousness of that field. In consciousness the ‘closer’ one is
to the field, the stronger the signal; i.e., the easier to register and the
stronger the reception. The Christos p. 183. See Also Monism

Oversoul One of the successive and synthetical fields, one relatively
higher to a lower one. We could designate the race psyche as the oversoul of a
given person. Studies in Psychotherapy p. 62.
Palingenesis / Palingenetic process/cycle No personality reincarnates. But the power on the Mind level in this individualizing process puts forth again. Each cycle in the palingenetic process, each putting forth, you build a new personality pattern. Steps in Self Unfoldment p. 21. The palingenetic process is not the reincarnation of one personality into another. The process is analogous to annual growth of a deciduous tree which cyclicly puts forth its leaves and flowers and fruit and, eventually, sheds them and its sap goes down. Each time round in the palingenetic process we develop a new personality, and the personality that we develop in one cycle, we shed, like the tree sheds its leaves, etc., together with the cycle which is represented by it. The Seven Rays of Development p. 14. The weakest link in your chain of rays now indicates the ray you will incarnate on. Ibid p. 17. A new and different personality -- the guna pattern of the psychic nature -- is brought out and developed on each of the turns in the spiraling process characterizing that which we label palingenesis.

Path, The Following the evolutionary process. When one discovers that
there is a process and intelligently cooperates with it, we call it the path.
When we intelligently cooperate with the evolutionary process we change our
label and say the path of development, the path of attainment, and we enter the
path. The Seven Initiations p. 61. See Also Evolutionary process.

One who functions (relative to the person, you can say unconsciously functions) under the motivating forces of the elemental world, nature’s formative forces, operating in his group, race psyche, etc. Studies in Psychotherapy p. 30.
An ensemble, an aggregation of cultural factors in the race psyche in which
the person is integrated. Ibid p. 57. A representation of that pattern, lines of
force, plus its knots and whorls - its configuration. The person is the belief
of being that aggregation. The consciousness abstracts ideas and opinions from
the field in which it is individualizing, or differentiating. It then makes a

Personality comes from the Latin word, persona, mask. Steps in Self Unfoldment p. 86. The sense of personality is due to a focalization in consciousness of a number of frequency relationships; that is, wave-frequency contacts--rapports, desires, communal interests, love attractions, etc. When these wave-frequency contacts are abstracted to higher orders - grouped and generalized-- we then label such an ensemble the group psyche, oversoul, race mind, etc. The First Crossing p. 8.

Pituitary center It is a center of force representative of the rays
from the center sun of Light, there preparation is made for the second crossing
where the psyche itself will be destroyed and the greater force that energizes;
the Hierophant at the Baptism by water, will also be destroyed; this going ahead
and preparing the way for the Greater One which will be awakened. Teachers’s
Guide (Vol 4) p. 72. See Also Ajna, Force centers.
‘Pliant types’ In the formative forces of the psychic nature the
etheric substance has no discrimination, no differentiation, no conscious
volition over what it reflects; it will reflect anything, just like a mirror. We
call this state, in the formative processes of becoming conscious of the psychic
nature, pliant. We say of those in that state that they are pliant types. How to
Discipline the Psyche p. 4-5.
Pneumatic ovum Autonomous field, Cosmic egg. Developing man was
considered to be a developing embryo within his egg, within his ovum until he
pipped the shell and his forces streamed through or out beyond the periphery.
Pneumatic represents that which motivates ‘breathing.’ The word breathing means
rhythm; everything is characterized by a rhythm, by a pulsation, as outbreathing
and inbreathing. Pneumatic ovum relative to a growing and developing person who
has not yet achieved consciousness of individualization and his relation to the
cosmic process; and cosmic egg, the Higher Self representing the furthest ‘out’
or the ‘lowest’ in eventuation; the essential nature, the True Self born out of
the differentiated field. Characterized by lines of force of the field. Studies
in Psychotherapy p. 6. That which characterizes man and differentiates him from
the animal is the fact that his acquired qualities of consciousness do not
revert to the undifferentiated field, but revert to his own account or discount.
Ibid p. 12. See also Autonomous field, Cosmic egg.
Polarity Feeling-images, desire-forms, etc., are charged with force.
When two persons with approximately the same "content" meet for the first time,
the one with the strongest charge in the "constituents" of his psyche assumes
the positive position in the context of situation, the other the negative. The
First Crossing p 87. The Master Self is always positive and the ‘man’ in
incarnation negative regarding each other, relatively speaking. Self-Mastery
Through Meditation p.81.
Pool(s) Differentiated spheres in the Cosmic process (Autonomous
Field, the Real Self, the Race psyche, the Oversoul, etc.) A given man belongs
to a pool. The pool of the man contains his cultural qualities; he reflects his
race cultural background; he incorporates those in his etheric-configurational
self. The Christos p. 68.
Positive Pole The Power from the positive pole creates the activity
and the substance represents the pattern. "The Father worketh hitherto and I
work." (Bible quote). Self-Mastery Through Meditation p. 98. See Also Basic
unity, Electromagnetic field, Light, Polarity.
Positive Power Power resides as potential, an inertial

Light-energy waves and frequencies. "To be" = The constant urge to know; to know
in order TO BE...to be conscious; The structure, function and orderly process of
the Hierarchial Order in Light-substance. Destiny, the very nature of Being.
"Power" = Evidenced in, through and by Mother-substance (Light, energy,
living-matter). Ibid p. 211 ff. In the Mother substance, whether that substance
is light or energy or living-matter, there is a motivating force, a sustaining,
quickening, creating, developing Power. We call it the Power-to-be-conscious.
That Power-to-be-conscious constitutes the essential self of each and every one
of us. That Power is the one Power of the whole universe. Practices in
Individual Development p. 1. There is a Power-to-be-conscious which is beyond
doubt, axiomatic, self-evident, needing no proof. Ibid p. 63. That which is
causative in the differentiating, creative process of the Mother. A Description
of the Psychic World p. 111. As long as we are in the process of development, of
raising the consciousness to a ‘higher’ level, then we use the term
Power-to-be-conscious. When we offset from the process of self-development and
shift our focus to those levels of attainment beyond the psychic world, we drop
"to be conscious," and say, "The Power." It is only at every stage, or state of
the self-development process that we describe a Power-to-be-conscious.

the Way p. 28. There’s a power plant, the Power-to-be-conscious in the intrinsic
Self, in the intrinsic nature, that is the power plant and it is the drive that
carries one on the evolutionary course. It’s the drive, the power from the Mind
level, that we label the Christos. Ibid p. 48. That power asleep in the mineral,
it stirs in the plant; it becomes active in the animal; and it arouses itself in
man. In man the power begins to be conscious of itself, to know that it knows.

Prana "Is the name for the energy that is in the universe. The sum
total of the energy displayed in the universe." Vivekananda Self-Mastery Through
Meditation p. 60. Prana, vital energy of this earth sphere, functions as the
substance of each and every individualized etheric sphere and manifests in the
physiological organism as the "principle" of vitality to be expressed therein.
These pranic energies or forces represent inverse 'reflections' of substances of
the highest level pertaining to Individualized Being, called Atma, and therefore
exhibit correspondences therewith. Prana is the Sanskrit word for a vital force
which permeates the etheric earth sphere, including every individualized system
thereof, and constitutes the motivating force of all forms. When flowing in the
energy stream of a given individualized organism we call it vital force or the
vital dynamism. Membership Letters (III) p. 2. See Also Vital Dynamism.

Private World Images in the psychic consciousness, their seeming reality, the values given to them, the feeling-desire-emotional-thinking reactions from values given, etc., make up what we call the private world. It has no existence outside the psychic consciousness. The First Crossing p. 10. What we abstract from the structure-function-order of the cosmic process and its configurations. Studies in Psychotherapy p. 58.The private world is sharply differentiated from the Cosmic Process; i.e., the waves and frequencies which we arrest as stimuli and from which we abstract the image or picture. You register those waves and frequencies either by direct radiation or by reflection of light and energy. Ibid p.108.

The psycho-logical processes which are the basis of all evaluations. Cosmology p. 17. The totality of that which is reflected, with its gunas or qualities to each sensation, feeling, desire, thought. A Description of the Psychic World p. 99.
We in the S.N.O. use the term psychic nature as a synonym for what the modern psychologists call the unconscious. Steps in Self Unfoldment p. 77.
The level upon which and individual’s personality pattern is developed. The First Crossing p. 14. "According to the New Cycle Gnosis, the referent for the word person equates and is synonymous with the ensemble of energy substances, each characterized by a specific quality in the individualizing consciousness; this ensemble we label the psychic nature." Ibid p. 32. "In our school we use the terms personality and psychic nature as synonyms for the ensemble of forces which motivate our functions - all our functions." Ibid p. 38. That total content of our consciousness, the psychic level is called the psychic nature or soul. Ibid p. 53.
That which is reflected constitutes the content of the psychic nature. This "content" is called the person, the personality pattern, the person in sense life, the little self in separation from his Greater Self, the intrinsic Power-to-be-conscious, etc. Ibid p. 87. Your whole realm of sensations, feelings, desirings, emotions, thinkings in varying mixtures and varying degrees. Studies in Psychotherapy p. 19. The ensemble of actions and reactions caused by values attributed to images-appearing-substantive which we call the objective world. Ibid p. 52.
That differentiating process that we call our personality, our individuality,
etc., is an individualizing process taking place in that oversoul or race
psyche, and that is what we label the psychic nature. Ibid p. 81. Human Soul.
Ibid p. 98. The forces that operate in all sensations, feelings, emotional and
thinking functions, that’s your psychic nature. Your physiological organism
functions, that’s your psychic nature. Ibid p. 105. The seat of feelings and
thinkings, ‘psychological’ process of a person. More often the term psychic
nature is used in the SNO for this gestalt or total ensemble of feelings-thinkings.
Self-Mastery Through Meditation p.21. Your basic point of development determines
the content of your psychic nature. One cannot build into his psychic nature any
quality, entity, substance, which is not comparable to the state in which he is
basically conscious of himself, his basic state of development. Practice of the
Way p.61- 62. The configuration of units of energy into forms stands as
representative of the total content of the psychic nature. Psycho-logical
processes is what we call the content of the psychic nature. The Christos p. 56.
Psychic phenomena Images, pictures, which do not appear substantive, Hallucinations, dreams, psychic appearances, any psychic phenomena including the psychic phenomena labeled ‘things’ and ‘objects.’ The First Crossing p. 94.
Psychic Self The personal level. Practice of the Way p.26.
Psychic world This world in which we function is called the psychic
world. That psychic world functions under, and is part and parcel of, what we
call the World Mother, the Mater; the matter (mater) of that world is also
labeled the Genetrix. How to Discipline the Psyche p. 18. The substance of the
psychic world are the gradations from energy to etheric substance; that is the
band of the whole metamorphosing process of light into living matter; just that
band from energy to etheric substance is the energy of the psychic world. Ibid
p. 38. An ensemble of forces which motivate our feelings, desireings and
thinkings. It is a synthesis of energies, each one of which is characterized by
wave frequency, and represented by a definite substance. Expanding States of
Self-awareness p. 119.
Psychical man, the Called "the veil and prophecy" of the real man or
Master. That Power, or force, called Self, together with the activity of its
awareness, represents reality. The expression of that force is called spiritual
and, in this context, the form of expression represents the psychical-man, "the
veil and prophecy of the spiritual man." The Natural Order Process (vol 2) p. 9.
Psychics Those whose consciousness is focused in the objective
manifold of values. Teachers’s Guide (Vol 4) p. 32. "Conscious psychics" : When
interest switches, transfers from ‘things’ and ‘objects’ the psycho-logical
phases, functions, etc.,(i.e., to feelings, desires, thinkings and the qualities
respecting each) - when a given individual is more involved in what he feels,
what he desires, what he thinks and his emotional evaluation, then his
consciousness is becoming oriented to the conscious psychics. Ibid p. 58. Not
dependable unless you know the psyche has reached the cleared space. Practices
in Individual Development p. 9. See also Conscious psychics, Pythagorean school.
Psycho-dynamism When the Power-to-be-conscious motivates all actions
and functions on the psychic nature level. Practice of the Way p.28.What hold
this bundles of forces having different qualities, properties, characteristics,
and gunas together? An organizer, a ruler, an overseer; and we label that
organizer and bonder of all of them psycho-dynamism. Ibid p. 98. That activity
of the Cosmic process which motivates the psychic-self we label the
Psycho-dynamism. Motivates the psychic-self and all of its psychic,
psycho-logical activities from sensations to thinking. The Christos p. 80.
Symbolizes an activity of fundamental-substance in or on a relatively higher
level of the ascending arc....the purpose of the psycho-dynamism is to perfect
the ego, independent of everything. When the psycho-dynamism takes over, the
individual is constantly in rebellion; he is not a conformist any more; he is a
non-conformist. Ibid p. 109 ff. See also Personality, Psyche, Psychic nature,
Soul.
Psycho-logical (functions) The meaning represented comprehends the
gunas (qualities) of which the psychic-nature of a given individual is composed.
... The qualities in feelings plus the thinkings, synthesized in the
consciousness of a given individual at a given date, are called his personality
pattern. ... The psycho-logical processes are the basis of all evaluations; and
this represents that which we call the psychic-nature. Cosmology p. 16-17.
Causes of Psychological maladjustments: The conflict between the higher psyche
and the content of the lower psyche is the cause of so many psychosomatic and
psycho-logical maladjustments. The First Crossing p.88. Your whole realm of
sensations, feelings, desirings, emotions, thinkings in varying mixtures and
varying degrees. The term psycho-logical level does not mean the content of the
unconscious but means the functional processes of the psychic nature. Studies in
Psychotherapy p. 19. The linking together of the lower and higher psychic
nature, by reason of the fact that both pertain to the psychic nature as a
medium of expression, as a vehicle in which consciousness operates, but in
describing the four somatic divisions of man, or of a given individual, they are
separated because they constitute two separate and distinct departments of the
somatic area. Teachers’s Guide (Vol 2) p. 5. "Psycho-logical processes reside in
what we call the psychic nature" The Christos p. 14. See also Personality
pattern, Psychic nature.
Psycho-logically balanced There has to be harmony, rhythm, balance
achieved in the psychic nature as preparatory to the real study and real
development; in other words, one cannot start from a false basis to fulfill, to
accomplish, to achieve the man state, because back of all that we are saying,
there is a fundamental ‘law’, which means that is the way it functions, and it
doesn’t function in any other way. Teachers’s Guide (Vol 1) p. 37. See also
Treading the Path.
Psychosis The lower psyche with its entities "takes over" and the
higher psyche withdraws from the etheric-physical body. The person is then
labeled insane. The First Crossing p. 88. When one loses the rational balance,
and the psychic manufactures psychic pictures, psychic images, dream pictures,
the dream fabric, etc., and they become possessory it is then called psychosis
or just plain insanity. Ibid p. 99.
Psychosomatic (maladjustments) Caused by a conflict between the higher
psyche and the content of the lower psyche. See Neurosis, Psychosis.
Psycho-therapy The only way to release all blockages, all inhibiting
influences, all forces that cause psycho-logical conflicts is to orient oneself
to the basic structure of this world, life-facts, this world as light-energy
waves-frequencies configurational representations. Once you can see that
structure and present it in a comparable linguistic structure so that map fits
territory, you will find in that clarity of understanding and perceptional
force, a power that removes all blockages and liberates you. Studies in
Psychotherapy p. 112. See Also General semantics.
Purification (purificatory process) When one attempts to tread the
Path which leads to Light’s Regions, it is the lower psyche with its content
which rises up to bar the way. It is then called "The Dweller on the Threshold."
The most difficult period of the neophyte’s training or self-discipline is the
purification of his lower psychic nature. This is because the effects of results
of all experiences of his past are rolled up in the present content of his lower
psyche. It is this past which must be revived, re-evaluated and the results cast
out before signal progress made or can be made. The First Crossing p. 88. This
state of purification, called the Garden of Aaru, is prerequisite to making the
Second Crossing as it is the acme of attainment of the First Crossing. Ibid p.
92. In the perfective stages of the individualizing of the Natural Order these
denizens of the depths must all be brought to the surface and destroyed. We call
this the purificatory period or process of the Way. Self-Mastery Through
Meditation p.24. Each must stand in the burning, and remember, this burning will
be as intense as there is material to burn. ... "Every plant not planted by my
Father" - not true to the natural order process - "is cast on to the fire;";
"the wheat is separated from the chaff...."; The sheep are separated from the
goats.", etc. These analogies all pertain to the purificatory period in the
lunar cycle, until the force is raised to Ajna, the pituitary center. Teachers’s
Guide (Vol 4) p. 70 ff. ‘Kindling of the fire,’ the awakening of the
potentialities - the dormant, latent forces. Practice of the Way p. 20. During
this period we learn to control the emotions, not by repression but by
expurgation of the inharmonious conditions. The old wine of selfishness, desire,
and all other destructive emotional conditions, is emptied out of the
consciousness before the new wine of the Spirit comes in. Bible Lessons p. 33.
Purifying breath Take a deep full breath and exhale it in short
explosive bursts with the lips almost closed. Make the short explosive bursts
hiss like steam exhausting from high pressure, about six to eight of these short
bursts on one breath. Fling the arms down and back with the wrists held loosely,
with each short burst of air through the lips. Stamp the right foot sharply and
hard at the same time. Feel, will, imagine, etc., that you are positively
flinging all undesirable and impure elements out of your ‘body,’ psyche, and
mind. Self-Mastery Through Meditation p.65.
Purpose of SNO: "Public teaching, mailing of class talks/lesson
courses, books & booklets on the correlation of non-aristotelian Gnosis with
modern scientific developments; training in organic gardening, composting,
conservation of the fertility of the soil, etc.; teaching a process or
methodology of understanding symbiotic relationships of Nature’s formative
forces in plant, animal and man culminating in the perception of Cosmos as
Conscious Light-Energy-Living-Matter organism-as-a-whole, Self-governed, as if
by a Supreme Intelligence; inculcating and understanding that man (individually
and collectively) is intrinsically integrated in Cosmos, and that his highest
obligation, therefore, is learning to consciously function in participational
cooperation with the Design (Structure, Function, Order) thereof." The Christos
p. vii.

Qaballah See Kaballah, Tree of Life
Qualified Monism Describes the teachings of SNO. When we recognize the integrity of the individual, and we highlight the process of individualizing, we automatically establish a new category: qualified monism. Expanding States of Self-awareness p. 29. Qualified: Limited to some degree or other in the expanding consciousness of the substance in the Light. It is not absolutely anything. Monism: The reference to the gradual expanding consciousness in the Substance of the Mother. We work day by day, year by year, in the palingenetic rhythm, until our expanding consciousness is one with the Substance in configuration.. We never leave it. We bring it along and expand it into the Light. Then the great cycle that we call the Cosmic Process is complete. Self-Mastery Through Meditation p. 106. Qualified monism says there is One that becomes many--many differentiations--and that qualifies the monistic phase, the absolute monistic idea. The Seven Initiations p. 2.
Quality (Value/Guna) Three broad divisions: Tamasic = inertial;
Rajasic = tempestuous, virulent; Satvic = quiet, the peaceful, and the
beautiful. Teachers’s Guide (Vol 1) p. 39 See Guna.
Quantum Mechanics Shows that the lines of force in any given field eddy; the lines of force eddy. Each eddy of each line represents a quantum energy. Called emergent energy. The number of eddies on a given line of force of a given field is called quanta and all of the eddies of each of the lines of force of a given field, while called quanta, are also called configurations. So, a configuration merely represents quanta of eddies of the lines of force of a given field. Teachers’s Guide (Vol 4) p. 61. When an electron jumped from a larger orbit to a smaller one within the electron field, there was a quantum of energy emitted from the field; when the electron suddenly and unaccountably jumped from a smaller orbit to a greater one, there was a quantum of energy absorbed by the field. Ibid (Vol 4) p.2.
Quaternary (Law of Four) Represents man in the four human
states--physical, etheric, astral, and mental. The law of four: The cycle of man
is divided into four distinct periods of seven years each. The septenary
represents the whole being in its four human states together with the three
higher states of the Ego. Bible Lessons p.28. See also Septenary.
Quickening influence Called the Christos by the Greeks and denotes a
quickening, energizing, awakening force entering into the content of the
unconscious or the psyche; a profound stirring influence that enters into the
psyche at a certain period of development. The Christos p. 6.
Race Consciousness The psychic field, a higher level animal group
field. Teachers’s Guide (Vol 1) p.22
Race, the Each individual functioning in the
field-pattern-configuration labeled man epitomizes, exemplifies, is a condensed
replica, a microcosm of that in which he functions, that field in which he
functions, which we now label the race, or we label man. Studies in
Psychotherapy p. 124. Refers to the whole of humanity on the planet, a generic
term for man. Practice of the Way p. 99. See Man.
Race Psyche The ethnological field. Studies in Psychotherapy p. 150.
Inherited cultural developments, attitudes obtained from our forefathers, etc.
Therefore, the background of each person is his race-psyche; the content of it,
etc., assumes a greater degree of importance in or to the individualizing
process than any so-called ‘personal’ factors. The Christos p. 128. See Also:

Christos p. 160. See Also Gautama, the Buddha, Shakti Path.
Rajas The force manifests as thirst, hunger and enjoyment of personal
power - that egotistical sense of ruling or controlling others. This is also the
force which motivates one in the pursuit of profit and pleasure. The energy of
Ego, the Son, Characterized by an individualizing tendency, mobility or activity
on the Mind-Level; and, in the psychic-nature, is the driving force in ambition,
to excel, to gain success, etc. The Natural Order Process (vol 2) p. 93-94.
Rajasic See Gunas, Rajas.
Rapport Frequency synchronization. The First Crossing p. 86.
The frequency synchronization that we label rapport and call love or desire is a process of registry and reflection. Studies in Psychotherapy p. 114.
Rapports are caused by affinity of substance in the psychic nature.
Teachers’s Guide (Vol 4) p.33. Proximity of relationship; one takes on the
condition of another. Fall in rapport, consciously or unconsciously, with
another one and you are going to take on his conditions or he is going to take
on yours, 50-50. Practices in Individual Development p.14. See Also Communal
adjustment.
Rays of development Cosmic energy streams (world-force-lines of
electromagnetic fields) which cause ‘things’ representing an event in a
space-time continuum. Self-Mastery Through Meditation p. 19. The first three =

energy-fields, etc. in and as organismal activity of the whole; and we reiterate
that behind this there is no Life, Power, or Intelligence, known or unknown. The
Natural Order Process (vol 2) p. 21.
Real Self The Higher Self .... The individualizing process on what is called the Mind Level. How to Discipline the Psyche p. 11. For the Real Self of you and the Real Self of each and every one is the same One Universal Self, the Logos, Demiurgos, Saguna Brahma, to use several names for That which represents the Creating Center of all existences. Membership Letters (II) p. 3.
The Real Self of any person is the degree of differentiation on the Mind
Level, the degree to which he has developed a field autonomous to the race
psyche. Practice of the Way p. 62. See Also Demiurgos, Higher Self, Logos, Mind
Self, Noetic Self, Sa-guna Brahma.
Reality If we break down any ‘this,’ - anything to which you can point
- into its ultimate constituents, we have vortices of light plus energy ....
Lightergy - light-energy. That constitutes the Reality all around us and in us;
it includes ‘this’ that we pack around and call body. Functional activities p.
36. See also Gnosis, Knowledge, Wisdom teaching.
Realization Ultimate understanding, represents orientation of
consciousness to the Mind-wave (Noetic-mind). Functioning in this orientation
with direct and clear perception, contact with energy wave-lengths and
frequencies, direct observation, cognition, etc., a frame or manifold of
differentiation respecting quality, character, strength, etc. of these energies
(or vibrations) is organized or developed. The Natural Order Process (vol 2)
p.53. See also Ultimate understanding.
Reason The word represents the Logos, and those having identified
their respective selves with the force with which they function, are labeled
Logoi. Teachers’s Guide (Vol 4) p.32. See also Logoi, Logos, Neoplatonic school.
Re-conversion The unfolding process, what we call growth, expansion,
self-development, evolution, transfiguration, metamorphosis. It means to turn
around, turn around and reverse the process, get converted. Turn around and
intelligently cooperate with the metamorphosis, with the transfigurational
process. The First Crossing p. 67. See Unfolding process.
Referent Is meant, the significance, the meaning. Words have no
meaning in themselves; meaning, significance, is that which the word "referent"
represents. Cosmology p. 99. That which we experience is labeled "referent."
‘Thing’, quality, relationship or function experienced. Perceptive Insight p.
30-32.See General Semantics.
Reflection (In connection with the race psyche) means that beneath the
level of his clear intellectual understanding he is still integrated,
synchronized, en rapport, to a greater or lesser degree, with the race out of
which he is seeking emancipation. Teachers’s Guide (Vol 1) p. 14.
Regeneration The deliberate re-creation of a new personality in the
midst of an incarnation. Steps in Self Unfoldment p. 21. See also Palingenesis.
Registration of frequency/guna Characterizes one of the pivotal points of the instruction as given in the School of the Natural Order. The essential and pivotal point of the (Second Crossing) of the work resides in the statement that instead of functioning in the images formulated, the values given thereto and reaction to values given, we awaken to the conscious registry of the guna, the reality of energy-forces registered. To function consciously the energies by which we are motivated and their respective gunas or qualities characterizes the "way of life" for those who will participate int he New Cycle. The First Crossing p. 93.
Reification / Reify Out of identity of word with thing, one
unconsciously begins to give value to a word with no referent. Studies in
Psychotherapy p. 35. To, reify, particularly regarding words, is to ascribe a
definite objective reality, meaning, value, etc., to a symbol in the absence or
unconsciousness of that which is represented by the symbol. To ascribe meaning
to a word, instead of treating the word as a symbol, is to reify. Self Mastery
Through Meditation p. 15.
Reincarnation "According to the instruction as given in the School of
the Natural Order, there is no such ‘thing’ as reincarnation; that is, no one as
he is now conscious of himself as a personality reincarnates." The First
Crossing p. 25. See Palingenesis.
Religion Pertains to the creative process in the individual which is
so closely allied to faith (no don’t identify faith with religion and identify
faith and religion with the church). Studies in Psychotherapy p. 20. That
instinctive, inherent need to pour out devotion to something. Ibid p. 121.
Return, the See Ascending/descending arc.
Revenge of the Will When the dynamic, creative forces of the Cosmic
Process are interfered with and do not have a free-flowing outlet in expression
(do not identify freedom with license because that is more slavery and bondage
than freedom) at a given state of development, those forces will turn negative.
Those cosmic forces which should be free and marvelous and creative at a given
state will become revengeful. Studies in Psychotherapy p. 114. The compensatory,
substituted outlet, is the reflexiveness of the Will. What results in the
substituted and compensatory form of expression is called the Revenge of the
Will. Ibid p.126.
Reversal, the The Ascending Arc....of the differentiating process.

Roadmap, the From the standpoint of the New Cycle Gnosis, means a
clear mental construct, being careful, never to consider the roadmap as being
the journey. The First Crossing p. 30.
Rod of Aaron / Iron The Will has been called the "Rod of Aaron," "The
Staff of Moses," Atma, etc. It is the "rod of iron" of the second Psalm and
elsewhere in the Bible, the rod with which Moses parted the waters of the Red
Sea and later struck the Rock in the wilderness from which lifegiving waters
gushed. The Will is that force with which Christ blasted the fig tree because it
gave so much promise yet yielded no fruit. It is the Will which we must lay hold
of it we would escape, escape from the psychic world and from the tangled web of
karma with its endless rounds of birth and rebirth. Membership Letters (III) p.
2. "The Rod of Iron," "Thunder bolt of Zeus," that is just the force,
consciousness, identified with the creative force of the field. Teachers’s Guide
(Vol 2) p. 24. Also Atma, Staff of Moses, Will.
Rules of Fundamental Self-development 1) Self-Reliance, 2)
Non-reification of words (use referents), 3) Remembrance that every ‘thing’
represents a dynamic process, 4) Mistake not a roadmap for the journey, 5)
Development or attainment is signalized by letting go a lower level or state in
order to achieve a higher one, 6) Functional progress depends upon conscious
control and direction of creative forces through the Seals (chakras), 7) Dare,
Do and Keep Silent. Self Mastery Through Meditation p. 10.
