Fallen Life

King Aswapati begins to follow Life's slow climb back to her original state of Bliss. He starts at the lowest level of Life's action in his own being, at the place where Life and Matter first meet.

King Aswapati saw immortal life’s highest subtle world of bliss and he felt its call, but he found no way to enter into its joy. In man, Life takes on the ordeal of the flesh. To feed death with her works is here Life’s doom.

King Aswapati is in the subtle realms of Life's immortality and original blissful existence, when she first entered the creation. "Only to be was a supreme delight. ... All objects there were great and beautiful."

King Aswapati enters the vital plane which is closest to our physical world. Here Life does everything she wants to, but nothing satisfies her. Above him, the King sees blissful planes of Immortal Life.

King Aswapati appreciates the beauty and the value of the Subtle Physical Plane, but it gives only a moment's fair release. He left that fine material paradise. His destiny lay beyond, in larger space.

The beauty, delight, and perfection that we long for exist in the subtle physical plane. There is the unfallen height of all we are, and the dateless fount of all we hope to be.

The Traveller of the Worlds discovers the universal plane of subtle forms and forces which are the origin of all that is on earth.

The King's search for complete consciousness draws him into a secret air of self, where he sees the World Stair, the secret stair to Being's goal. It contains the universal planes. His soul calls him to its high summit.

King Aswapati crosses the occult guardian border into worlds Beyond. He sees the stairway going between All-Consciousness and the Inconscient. He sees deathless countries beyond, and breaks into another space and time.
