    About this ebook

    THE EGOIC LOTUS

    The purpose of this inspiring book is to facilitate step-by-step unfoldment from individuality to group awareness, from unconscious activity to conscious cooperation with your Higher Self and its purpose for you, the personality.

    There is for every mortal, one supreme being that is his very own, his daemon, his inner reality, his higher nature, his own Soul. Any susceptibility to limit the concept of the higher Self should be offset by a study of the "Three Great Truths" found in the introduction to this book. Study of this occult classic in "the language of the day" will provide intuitive insight to methods for unfolding the Egoic Lotus, petal by petal, until it is opened to the full beauty of its perfection.

    Understanding of the Egoic Lotus, through which the Soul manifests, will bring about an eventual apprehension of the true meaning of force, and of energy in its dual aspect— internal vibration and external radiation. Comprehension of the effect of one consciousness upon another consciousness on the physical plane through the centering of the attention upon the psychical centres in subtle bodies (not the physical centres on etheric levels) will be utilised scientifically in the future to solve many world problems. Finally the laws of fire will be explained; the nature of heat, of radiation and of flame will be occultly investigated here. The writer has spent some 30 years in this field already and is a pioneer in the educational goal to teach the young to contact their own Soul or higher energy; how best they can be led to appropriate the knowledge and ability of their higher Self for use on the physical plane; how best they can ascertain their group formation, and thus work along with their group and in unison with humanity.

    This issue is updated (2013) with many drawings, charts and images to aid the reader in understanding this otherwise complex subject. Much of the information contained here can also be found in Dr. Baker's eBook The Jewel in the Lotus, ISBN 9781625690234.

    Douglas M. Baker

    Dr. Douglas M. Baker. English born and raised in South Africa has done extensive scientific research into those hinterlands of the mind which one might call psi-semantics. He graduated in the Arts & Humanities in South Africa and qualified in medicine at Sheffield University (UK) in 1964. Having taught in the East End schools of London for 10 years, he began his tour of the Western world giving lectures and seminars in Esoteric Healing, Esoteric Anatomy, Esoteric Astrology, Esoteric Psychology, Esoteric Science and Metaphysics. He, more than any other, set in motion the trends towards alternative methods of medicine which have transformed that field in Britain today. As medical advisor to the De la Warr laboratories in Oxford, he undertook research into Biomagnetism and quantum physics their effects on the human aura and dark matter, producing the book by the same name in conjunction with George de la Warr. Through the years he has given more than 15,000 lectures and attracted people from all over the world to his Esoteric Science Festivals and International Summer Schools staged in America, Canada, England, Switzerland, Italy, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. His transformative experiences during the Second World War, when twice severely wounded, set the pattern for his life long investigations into the Powers Latent in Man. His extensive esoteric writings are said to be the largest collection in the world produced by a living author. He has written over 100 books, many of which have been translated into the 9 European languages at https://www.douglasbaker.com, and his list of downloadable MP3 audio lectures available at www.douglasbaker.org, include 500 live lectures given around the world and on a vast range of subjects. He has led the field in esoteric astrology, producing with a team, his magnum opus, a Dictionary of Astrology for the 21st Century in three volumes. This is in addition to the already existing 11 volume set of books on the same subject.

      DEDICATED TO THE MASTER K. H.

      Who, over many lives, taught me these truths.

      THREE GREAT TRUTHS

      Hear me, my brother, he said. "There are three truths which are absolute, and which cannot be lost, but yet may remain silent for lack of speech.

      "The soul of man is immortal, and its future is the future of a thing whose growth and splendour has no limit.

      "The principle which gives life dwells in us and without us, is undying and eternally beneficent, is not heard or seen, or smelt, but is perceived by the man who desires perception.

      "Each man is his own absolute lawgiver, the dispenser of glory or gloom to himself; the decreer of his life, his reward, his punishment.

      "These truths, which are as great as is life itself, are as simple as the simplest mind of man. Feed the hungry with them.

      from THE IDYLL OF THE WHITE LOTUS

      Foreword

      The study of esoteric psychology requires a true conception of the Soul and its arousal to full activity. Already, there is a tremendous swing in North America and Europe away from traditional, religious or psychiatric ways of interpreting psychic phenomena and mystical experience. People receptive to inner states will no longer accept that responsibility for these mystical events must lie with God or that they be resolved on the psychiatric couch.

      Far too many creative individuals incorporate qualities and experiences in their make-up that would be normally regarded as psychotic were it not for their rationality, intelligence, honesty and creativeness. In the past, such creative men and women have hidden their psychic affairs from public view or adopted a mask of artistic idiosyncracies. Now, however, the way is becoming increasingly open for investigation into these subjective worlds whereby the sound formulation of the laws of egoic unfoldment, as taught by the Masters of Ancient Wisdom down through the ages may be revealed to the seekers after Truth, Beauty and Goodness. The inner worlds have always been. They influenced the minds of men like Socrates, Pythagoras, Plato and Aesculapius in Greece and before that in Egypt, Persia, India and China. Later, after the Dark Ages, the Mysteries reached Europe and were spread unobtrusively by many esoteric groups such as 'The llluminati', Knight's Templar, the Rosicrucians, the Masons, etc. In the last hundred years, a new outpouring of the perennial Wisdom reached the West through the offices of Madame Blavatsky. Her inspirers were Masters of the Himalayas, members of the inner government of the world, and in an unbroken stream They continued to speak through Annie Besant, Alice Bailey, C. W. Leadbeater, Rudolph Steiner and others. They continued the true tradition of classical Ancient Wisdom given out in all ages by enlightened Beings. But we must not think that the subjective worlds are populated only by high intelligences, who once lived on earth.

      There is for every mortal, one supreme being that is his very own, his daemon, his inner reality, his higher nature, his own Soul. Any susceptibility to limit the concept of the higher Self should be offset
