MYSTIC INSIGHT … p. 59
When speaking of supernatural Beings from the night of time, Mme. H.P. Blavatsky, nineteenth century Russian intellectual and theosophist, uses a phrase both curious and revealing: revealing in the sense that it speaks of a spiritual power that we, who are neither supernatural nor superhuman, yet possess: “… their essence cannot assimilate itself to that of worlds beyond our solar system.” (Secret Doctrine, Vol. II. p. 700.)
“Essence,” meaning our inner Being, or, in other words, our divine life-giving soul, is of course the key word in Mme. Blavatsky’s discourse. Put in a positive context, our (human) essence can, and does, assimilate itself to that of others. That is to say, we possess the innate capacity to communicate with others on a spiritual plane by way of our intuitional “third eye”.
In order that we may rise above our worldly plane of matter — that enmeshed in materialism — we quiet the mind and become still within that we may give in-depth attention to the other. We become vulnerable, which in turn gives rise to mutual trust. Together, we become immersed in a state of mystical insight. — Garry D. Kilbourn
