~ E ~

ego
 The lower personal ego. A sense of self which is confined to the personality and its vehicles. The perception of self-identity which results when the soul-in-incarnation identifies with the personal form.
 
  
Ego
 The Higher Self; the Soul on its own plane. The causal “egg.” The state of consciousness which is identified with the causal field rather than the personality field. On a still higher turn of the spiral, the term “EGO” can refer to the “Monadic egg” and the state of Self-awareness which results when man has become in consciousness the Monad.
 
  
Elemental
 “The Spirits of the Elements: the creatures involved in the four kingdoms, or elements, Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Except for a few of the higher kinds and their rulers they are forces in nature rather than ethereal men and women.” Elementals “inhabit” various of the lower planes or dimensions. The Etheric-physical, emotional and lower mental vehicles of the human energy system are actually so many Elementals.
 
  
Emanation

The projection or outflow of a Ray from a source upon a higher plane of nature to a destination upon a lower plane. Such a Ray is identical in essence with the source from which it flows or is projected, though not identical with that source in appearance once it has reached a lower plane. The form of its manifestation upon the lower plane varies from the form of its manifestation upon its “plane of origin” due to the lower vibratory conditions upon the lower plane which inhibit the expression of the Ray in its pure and original vibratory state. Upon each descending plane of nature emanations are “stepped down” to conform to progressively inert conditions. An emanation descending through the substance of the lower plane is automatically clothed in the substance of that plane.

An abstract but perceptible thing that issues or originates from a source.
The action or process of issuing from a source.
A tenuous substance or form of radiation given off by something.
 
  
Energy
 The dynamism of the One Life ~ God-in-action. The term energy is frequently used to describe the manifold qualities of the One Energy. There are many different kinds and qualities of energy, but they are all subdivisions of the One Energy, differentiated movements within the One Movement of the One Creator.
 
  
Entity
 The unit or subdivision of the One Being. Every entity is rooted in “Be-ness,” and is thus indefeasibly part of the One Life. The endless emanating subdivisions of the One Being are the cause of “entification,” although the ultimate One (which the Tibetan calls by the name “SPACE”) may with some justification be called an ENTITY as well.
 
  
Esoteric
 That which is too subtle to be registered by humanity’s organs of registration in their present state of sensitivity. These organs of registration are not only the five Etheric-physical senses, but the astral and lower mental vehicles in their average, brain-limited range of sensitivity. That which is Esoteric is always relative to that which is readily known and perceivable. What the normal human being regards as Esoteric is common knowledge to the Masters of the Wisdom. The Masters, however, regard the knowledges and ranges of sensitivity of the Planetary Deity as highly Esoteric. No knowledge is Esoteric in and of itself. Everything depends upon the degree of development of the entity which is attempting to register the knowledge.
 
  
Esoteric psychology
 That branch of occult psychology which deals in a highly technical and precise manner with the nature and dynamics of the true psyche (the Transpersonal Self or Soul upon its own plane) and the relationships existing between that Higher Self and the psycho-mental dynamics of the specifically human psyche of the incarnated “I” ~ the Soul-in-incarnation. From another perspective, Esoteric psychology is a technical study of the dynamic interrelationships between that great entity known as a Solar Angel and the Monad of the human energy system. It details the dynamics which occur when (symbolically speaking) Mercury (Monad), Venus (Solar Angel/Transpersonal Self) and Earth (Personality) become interdependent.
 
  
Ether
 In relation to man, the microcosm, the ether is a rarefied physical dimension of substance composed of various grades of electro-vital fluid. The higher four subplanes of the systemic physical plane are composed of ether. From the perspective of the Planetary logos, the higher four planes of the cosmic physical plane (the buddhic, atmic, monadic and logoic planes) are also considered Etheric.
 
  
Evoke, Evocation
 To call forth from within oneself. This usually applies to those Divine Qualities that are inherent in not only our spiritual centers, but also in the Etheric and physical bodies.
 
  
Evolution
 The progressive unfoldment of all aspects of every being (whether macroscopic or microscopic) within Cosmos, with the purpose of expressing an ever-fuller measure of essential spiritual potentiality. Traditionally, the term evolution has referred to the improvement and refinement of the physical form of the human race. According to the Ageless Wisdom, however, the evolution or unfoldment of the consciousness within the form is far more important and is, in fact, the cause of the beneficial changes to be noted within the form itself.
