DWELLING IN THE RECESSES OF THE PALACEA symbol of the causal-body on the higher mental plane, the abode of the indwelling Spirit. "The prince might perchance see some inauspicious sight which could disturb his mind,'-thus reflecting, the king had a dwelling prepared for his son (Buddha) apart from the busy press, in the recesses of the palace." - Buddha- Karita, Bk. II. 28. The Higher Self anticipates that the Soul or lower Self (Buddha), during the cycle of its lower experiences, would require periods of withdrawal and rest, which necessitate having a permanent sheath wherein it may take refuge. It is here in the process of involution that the true permanent Ego is established in its causal sheath. “'Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations' (Ps. xc. 1). The Psalmist's perception here is that from everlasting to everlasting that which constitutes man has been latent in God, and has never really left him, numberless as have been the successive generations of human life on earth." - R. J. CAMPBELL, Serm., Our Solidarity with God. |
