Speaking metaphysically and philosophically, on strict Esoteric lines, man as a complete unit is composed of Four basic Principles and their Three Aspects on this earth. In the semi-esoteric teachings, these Four and Three have been called Seven Principles, to facilitate the comprehension of the masses.
As the lower man is the combined product of two aspects — physically, of his Astral Form, and psycho-physiologically of Kâma-Manas — he is not looked upon even as an aspect, but as an illusion.
The Auric Egg, on account of its nature and manifold functions, has to be well studied. As Hiranyagarbha, the Golden Womb or Egg, contains Brahmâ, the collective symbol of the Seven Universal Forces, so the Auric Egg contains, and is directly related to, both the divine and the physical man.
Thus the Auric Egg, reflecting all the thoughts, words and deeds of man, is: (a) The preserver of every Karmic record. (b) The storehouse of all the good and evil powers of man, receiving and giving out at his very thought every potentiality: this Aura is the mirror in which sensitives and clairvoyants sense and perceive the real man, and see him as he is, not as he appears.
In the case of the Devachanic Entity, the Ego, in order to be able to go into a state of bliss, as the “I” of its immediately preceding incarnation, has to be clothed with the spiritual elements of the ideas, aspirations and thoughts of the now disembodied personality. Surely not the impersonal Ego, the Divine Individuality, enjoys bliss and reward. For Devachan is a “spiritual gestation” within an ideal matrix state, a birth of the Ego into the world of effects, which ideal, subjective birth precedes its next terrestrial birth.
O Ovo Áurico, refletindo todos os pensamentos, palavras e ações do homem, é o preservador de todo registro kármico. Esta Aura é o espelho em que os sensitivos e clarividentes percebem o homem real, e o vêem tal como é, não como aparece.
