In due time, when the spiritual man has begun to take form, the creative force will be drawn off, and become operative in building the body of the spiritual man, just as it has been operative in the building of physical bodies, through generation in the natural world. IN DUE TIME WHEN THE SPIRITUAL MAN HAS BEGUN TO TAKE FORM THE CREATIVE FORCE WILL BE DRAWN OFF AND BECOME OPERATIVE IN BUILDING THE BODY OF THE SPIRITUAL MAN JUST AS IT HAS BEEN OPERATIVE IN THE BUILDING OF PHYSICAL BODIES THROUGH GENERATION IN THE NATURAL WORLD
e are coming to a vitally important part of the teaching of Yoga: namely, the spiritual man’s attainment of full self-consciousness, the awakening of the spiritual man as a self-conscious individual, behind and above the natural man. In this awakening, and in the process of gestation which precedes it, there is a close relation with the powers of the natural man, which are, in a certain sense, the projection, outward and downward, of the powers of the spiritual man. This is notably true of that creative power of the spiritual man which, when embodied in the natural man, becomes the power of generation. Not only is this power the cause of the continuance of the bodily race of mankind, but further, in the individual, it is the key to the dominance of the personal life. Rising, as it were, through the life-channels of the body, it flushes the personality with physical force, and maintains and colours the illusion that the physical life is the dominant and all-important expression of life. E ORDER OF THE BODILY POWERS WE ARE COMING TO A VITALLY IMPORTANT PART OF THE TEACHING OF YOKA NAMELY THE SPIRITUAL MAN'S ATTAINMENT OF FULL SELF CONSCIOUSNESS THE AWAKENING OF THE SPIRITUAL MAN AS A SELF CONSCIOUS INDIVIDUAL BEHIND AND ABOVE THE NATURAL MAN IN THIS AWAKENING AND IN THE PROCESS OF JUSTATION WHICH PRECEDES IT THERE IS A CLOSE RELATION WITH THE POWERS OF THE NATURAL MAN WHICH ARE IN A CERTAIN SENSE THE PROJECTION OUTWARD AND DOWNWARD OF THE POWERS OF THE SPIRITUAL MAN THIS IS NOTABLY TRUE OF THAT CREATIVE POWER OF THE SPIRITUAL MAN WHICH WHEN EMBODIED IN THE NATURAL MAN BECOMES THE POWER OF GENERATION NOT ONLY IS THIS POWER THE CAUSE OF CONTINUANCE OF THE BODILY RACE OF MANKIND BUT FURTHER IN THE INDIVIDUAL IT IS THE KEY TO THE DOMINANCE OF THE PERSONAL LIFE RISING AS IT WERE THROUGH THE LIFE CHANNELS OF THE BODY IT FLUSHES THE PERSONALITY WITH PHYSICAL FORCE AND MAINTAINS AND COLORS THE ILLUSION THAT THE PHYSICAL LIFE IS THE DOMINANT AND ALL IMPORTANT EXPRESSION OF LIFE
