THREE CLASSES OF THOUGHT-FORMS 71
due to the fact that the curves are not really concentric,
although at first sight they appear to be so.
Another Conception.—Fig. 45 exhibits the form pro-
duced by another person when trying to hold exactly the
same thought. Here also we have an amazing complexity
of almost inconceivably delicate blue lines, and here also
our imagination must be called upon to insert the golden
globe from Fig. 42, so that its glory may shine through
at every point. Here also, as in Fig. 44, we have that
curious and beautiful pattern, resembling somewhat the
damascening on ancient Oriental swords, or that which is
seen upon watered silk or moire antique. When this
form is drawn by the pendulum, the pattern is not in any
way intentionally produced, but simply comes as a conse-
quence of the crossing of the innumerable microscopically
fine lines. It is evident that the thinker who created
the form upon Fig. 44 must have held in his mind most
prominently the unity of the Logos, while he who gener-
ated the form in Fig. 45 has as clearly in mind the
subordinate centres through which the divine life pours
forth, and many of these subordinate centres have
accordingly represented themselves in the thought-
form.
The Threefold Manifestation.—When the form em-
ployed in Fig. 46 was made, its creator was endeavouring
to think of the Logos in His threefold manifestation.
The vacant space in the centre of the form was a blinding
glow of yellow light, and this clearly typified the First
Aspect, while the Second was symbolised by the broad
ring of closely-knitted and almost bewildering lines which
surround this centre, while the Third Aspect is suggested
by the narrow outer ring which seems more loosely woven.
