The Rosicrucian
Cosmo-Conception
by Max Heindel
(Part 20)
Topical Index
     The Topical Index is arranged with particular view to facilitate  topical
study, but at the same time alphabetical order has been adhered to as nearly
as possible.  We add an alphabetical list of the words indexed.
     Opposite each word in this list will be found a number, which refers to a
page in the Index.   On that page the word is grouped with others pertaining
to the same topic.
     The student is particularly requested to note the consecutive arrangement
of references.   For instance,  under the heading,  "Vital Body,"  the first
reference tells where that vehicle had its first inception, the last directs
to  a page which treats of its final spiritualization,  and the  intervening
references  point  in orderly succession to the places  where  its  gradual
unfoldment is described.  These references, in themselves, form an excellent
syllabus of the vital body.
     By   diligent  and  intelligent  use  of  this  index   the   Rosicrucian
Cosmo-Conception will be found a most complete and exhaustive reference  library,  and  we  recommend  students to study the Index as much as the book.
  The  mere reading of references will often clear comprehension of a  subject
and reveal much that is hidden in a general reading of the book.

Law Of Causation.
   Original Semites the first to be made morally responsible under law of causation, 301
   Law of causation is the force impelling to rebirth, 130
   It brings each to birth at psychological moment when stellar influences are most propitious, 161

Man's Invisible Vehicles (Topical)
Vital Body.
   Germinated as a thoughtform in Sun Period given to man in the making by Lords of Wisdom, 210
   Reconstructed in Moon Period by Lords of Individuality and Lords of Wisdom, 215
   Reconstructed in Earth Period by Angels and Lords of Form, 240
   They later, in Hyperborean Epoch, clothe man in the
        making with an improved vital body, 263
   Vital body is in its third stage of evolution, 75, 76
   It is rooted in the spleen.  Through that organ the vital body specializes solar energy, 63, 68
   The vital body is built of "points" which penetrate the dense atoms and raise their vibrations, 61
   The Recording Angels direct its construction at present so that man may reap what he sows, 135
   A separate vital body is necessary to growth and assimilation, 57, 58
   It serves to give shape to the dense body during antenatal life, 60, 137
   Vital body is born at 7th year; causing growth, 141
   Under normal conditions it remains embedded in dense body from birth to death, 61
   The chemical, life, light and reflecting ethers in vital body are ripened successively, 143
   The vital body is of opposite sex or polarity to the dense body, 61
   Lemurian girls developed memory first on account of having a positive vital body, 280
   The blood and glands are its particular expression, 397, 455
   The positive vital body of woman gives intuition, also causing periodical flow and tears, 60
   The blood absorbs from inspired air panorama of past life engraves it on seed atom and vital body, 91, 397, 398
   At death vital body is withdrawn and panorama of past life extracted, 97, 102
   When seed atom is withdrawn vital body gravitates back
        to dense body and decays simultaneously with that, 102, 103
   Our wakening consciousness results from war between
        desire body and vital body, 455
   Collapse of the vital body is cause of sleep, 93
   In health surplus of vitality is radiated as N-rays; they expel deleterious microbes from system, 63
   These radiations are weak in sickness, hence disease germs may easily enter and cause complications, 63
   Why pain is felt in a limb subsequent to amputation, 64
   The more lax the connection between the dense and vital bodies the more sensitive we become to superphysical vibrations, 241
   The desire body is improved by law; the vital body by altruism, developed in higher life, 404
   Initiation before Christ was therefore reserved to a chosen few, 404, 405
   Since vital body was partially freed at Golgotha, initiation is open to "whosoever will", 482
   Initiation separates the four ethers of vital body so that two may be extracted at will and used in "soul flights" through inner worlds, 482
   The effect of prayer upon the vital body, 434, 463
   The specific method of separating the ethers, 91, 111, 483, 528
   The vital body will be our densest vehicle in the Jupiter period; it will contain essence of dense body, 240, 242, 422
   Its essence: the intellectual soul, will be absorbed by the life spirit in Venus Period, 426
   The vital bodies of plants and animals are differently
        constituted from the human vehicle, 58, 59
   Among animals it is not concentric with the dense body except in prodigies, 77
Desire Body.
   Given in the Moon Period by Lords of Individuality, 215
   It is now in second stage of its evolution, 76
   In latter part of Lemurian and early part of Atlantis some desire bodies divided into higher and lower parts thus they became fit to harbor a human Ego, 235, 395
   These dense bodies assumed an upright walk which emancipated them from rule of groupspirit, 86, 236
   Desire body of man has now incipient sense centers, 67
   The Lords of Mind linked mind to higher part of desire body and implanted separate selfhood, 243
   The undivided desire bodies crystallized their dense vehicles which have degenerated to anthropoids, 236, 243
   The Archangels work in those, also in the lower part of the human desire body, giving passion, 236, 243
   Desire bodies of animals are not concentric with dense
        body and otherwise differently constituted, 65, 77
   Only those bodies which have red blood and liver can
        have a separate desire body, 69
   In cold blooded animals group spirit forces currents of desire inwards through liver, 69
   The separate spirit which dwells in warm red blood forces its desire currents outwards through liver, 69
   Thus the liver is the root of the desire body, 68
   The desire body has its particular field of operation in
        the voluntary nerves and muscles, 455
   Its operations in the spleen produce white blood corpuscles, 455
   Materials for new desire body is gathered by Ego prior to
        each birth, 134
   It is born at 14 when the life ether of the vital body is ripe and the child becomes adolescent, 142, 143
   The constant war between desire body and vital body produces our waking consciousness, 455
   Desire body is temporarily withdrawn during sleep, 93
   It is permanently extracted at death, 97
   During life it is ovoid, but takes shape of dense body at death thus the man appears as before, 66
   Desire body of suicide feels hollowed out while archetype of his dense body persists; he suffers pain like intense hunger, 104
   Panorama of life etched on desire body forms basis of post-mortem existence.  Importance of deep etching and how to assure that end, 109
   Process of purgation and extraction of conscience, 105, 108
   Dissolution of desire body when seed atom is taken, 120
   Desirebodies of children who die do not dissolve, 117
   The desire body will be perfected in the Venus Period and compounded with essence of dense and vital bodies, 423
   Its essence, the Emotional Soul, will be absorbed by the human spirit in Vulcan Period, 425
   Prayer for the spiritualization of the desire body, 464
Mind.
   The necessity and purpose of mind, 57, 75, 298
   It is a focusing point like lens in stereopticon, valuable when not subject to mental St. Vitus dance, 89, 393
   Given by Lords of Mind in early Atlantis, 222
   Mind designed to give purpose to action, but became enmeshed in desire body originating cunning, 298
   Then Race religions were given to cow desire and free mind, 395
   Original Semites, the progenitors of Fifth Epoch humanity first to evolve through thought and reason, 299
      How mind-stuff for new mind is gathered prior to each birth, 133
   It assumes shape of large bell, 134
   Mind is born at 21 when man reaches "majority", 142
   The veil of Isis, the sheath of mind, which hides Ego from intrusion, 293
   What impels thought, 285
   Conscious, subconscious and superconscious mind, 90, 92, 397
   The mind is temporarily withdrawn during sleep, 93
   It is permanently extracted from dense body at death, 97
   Why the mind of children which die, persist in their next life, 117
   The mind dissolved when Ego ascends to third Heaven, 129
   The present war between heart and mind, 17
   The effects of open mind compared with skepticism, 7
   Valuable training for the mind, 202
   Prayer for spiritualizing the mind, 464
   The mind is now in its mineral stage, dead, hence we work with dead chemical mineral substances, 298, 426, 428
   In the Jupiter Period the mind will become alive.  Then
        we shall work with living plants, 298, 427, 428
   In Venus Period the mind will acquire feeling.  Then
        we shall work with living, feeling animals, 428
   In Vulcan Period the mind will become creative and capable of propagating itself.  Then we shall give our
 creatures a mind and make them human, 428
   How animals think though lacking mind, 70
   What Instinct really is, 78
Ego. (See Human Spirit)
   The Ego is a Virgin Spirit involved in a threefold veil of matter which obliterates its original divine consciousness and engenders the illusion of a separate self, 216
   During Involution it brooded unconsciously over the evolving form, separate and apart therefrom, 235
   In later Lemuria desire body divided and dense body assumed upright walk.  Then Ego commenced to enter, 236, 394
   It did not become fully indwelling until the last third of Atlantis, 294
   Now the Ego is entirely in physical world while it lives
        its earth life, 71, 77, 95
   The seven human principles, 88
   Mars polarized the iron until Atlantis so that warm blood could not be generated.  Thus Ego was prevented from entering the form till it was ripe, 268
   The blood is the vantage ground of Ego, 350
   But it must be right temperature, 144
   The Ego is born from time to time to gather experience, 129
   In heaven it assimilates experiences of previous lives, 135, 138
   It also chooses its coming environment, 129, 136
   While in heaven it builds that environment and archetypes of the bodies it uses on earth, 128
   It gathers the materials for its new vehicles during its
        descent to rebirth, 133
   Recording Angels place matrix of its coming body in womb of mother and seed atom in semen of father, 135
   Ego enters womb 18-21 days after conception, 138
   Ego cannot generate blood from unripe child body, hence thymus gland gives a supply of parental blood till the "I"
 consciousness comes to puberty, 143
   How the Race Spirit held Ego in bondage, 350
   Christ came to emancipate us from Race Spirit, 313, 352
   How international marriages are furthering that object
        by generating individual blood, 353
Human Spirit. (See Ego)
   Originally awakened by the Seraphim, 215
   Cherubim and Lords of Wisdom linked human spirit to life spirit, 215
   Lords of Flame and Lords of Individuality linked the human spirit to the divine spirit, 216
   The Lords of Form are now in charge of the human spirit, 220
   The divine spirit is the first veil of the Virgin Spirit, the life spirit is the second and the human spirit is the third, outermost sheath which imprisons the Virgin Spirit and makes it a separate Ego, 216
Life Spirit.
   Awakened by Cherubim in Sun Period, 211
   Linked to divine spirit by Lords of Flame, 212
   Linked to human spirit by Lords of Individuality, 216
   Lords of Individuality now in charge of life spirit, 220
Divine Spirit.
   Awakened by Lords of Flame, 207
   Linked to life spirit by Lords of Flame, 212
   Linked to human spirit by Lords of Individuality, 216
   Lords of Wisdom now in charge of divine spirit, 220
Marriage.
   Marriage and generation both duty and a privilege, 468
   But not a license to unbridled indulgence, 471
   Formerly Race Spirits commanded marriage in the family to strengthen the "tie of blood", 353
   Later international marriages were insisted upon to emancipate the individual from race, kin and country, 353
   Under the former regime the common blood produced in each  member of family pictures of their common ancestors (second sight), thus intensifying feeling of kinship, 354
   The Race Spirit is a "jealous God".  He cuts off all who marry outside of race, 310, 335
   International marriages have mixed the blood, destroyed the pictures of ancestors and second sight (which is
    involuntary clairvoyance), 355
   Origin of honeymoon trips, 219

   Materialism a cause of various diseases, 113
   Cause of earthquakes, illustrated by eruptions of Vesuvius, 510
   Effect of materialism on life after death, 112
Mediums.
   Why unreliable, even when honest, 41
   The connection between the dense and vital bodies of mediums
        is more lax than among ordinary people, and their weak wills
        render them a prey to "controls", 241
   Materialization of spirits is accomplished by these controls
        by extracting medium's vital body through the spleen, 62
Mathematics.
   Mathematical ability and semicircular canals of ear, 126
Memory.
   Memory was first developed by the girls in Lemuria, 280
   In olden days it was greater than now.  The third Atlantean Race,
        the Toltecs, achieved the highest efficiency, 296
   When men married in the family the common blood carried to them a memory of the lives of ancestors, 353
   Memory is threefold.  Conscious, subconscious and superconscious.
        The conscious memory is unreliable, but the subconscious
        memory stores all events, 90, 92, 149, 397
   Why most people do not remember past lives, 171
   Why some people remember more than others, 172

Missionaries.
   Needed at home more than abroad, 163
   Why foreign missions are a mistaken effort, 308
Music.
   Music of the spheres a fact of nature, 119
   The Great Silence; the prelude to the celestial harmony of Appollo's seven-stringed Lyre, 122
   The power of rhythmic vibration; supercilious incredulity
        concerning the fall of Jericho's walls gratuitous, 122
   Heaven the realm of tone and sound flows through Archetypes  and builds form, 123, 124

Plants.
   The present plants started their evolution as minerals of the
        Moon Period, they become human in the Venus period, 226
   Their consciousness is like our in deep sleep, 85
   The Angels have particular charge over the plants, 222

   They bring each being to birth at the auspicious moment when
        the stellar influences will give it conditions requisite to
        its next step in unfoldment, 161
   They also force the expiation of mature destiny, 136, 161

   Why different Religions are necessary to different people, 371
   The four steps in Religion through fear, avarice, love and duty, 303
   Mistake of seeking a foreign religion, 308
   Why the Bible, to be adequate to the needs of the Western World
        must contain both the Jewish religion of the old Testament
        and the Christian religion of the New, 308, 314, 315
   Paul asserts there is an allegorical meaning to the Bible
        (yet it is only to be interpreted by who can see - II
        Pet: 1.20).  Both Paul and Christ gave an esoteric
        teaching to "the few", 319
   Why earliest Religions taught the doctrine of Rebirth and
        Christianity does not specially feature it, 167
   The purpose of Jehovistic Race religions is to curb the
        desire nature that the intellect may gain scope, 334, 395, 433
   The purpose of the Christian Religion is to spiritualize
        the vital body by love and prayer, 433, 435, 463
   The Religion of the Father will spiritualize the dense
        body and restore Unity, 435, 436

Solar System.
   The logical necessity of a Creative Intelligence, 122, 129
   The nebular theory requires a Creator and Sustainer of the solar system, 323
   The Bible asserts that our system was formed from the "everlasting  essence": primordial matter, 321
   God is the Architect of our solar system, 179
   The Seven Spirits before the Throne, individually considered,are the Regents of the seven planets, 180
   Collectively, they are God, 183, 253
The Sun.

   The sun is the visible symbol of God, 181
   Spiritual and physical rays of the sun, 390
   Will is a solar force expressed in the male sex.  Imagination is a female lunar force, 267
   The solar force works in vital body, makes for life, the lunar rays crystallize the dense body and cause death, 265
   Prior to end of Hyperborean Epoch sun, moon and earth were yet one and humanity were malefemale, 268
Planets And Moons.
   Spiritual reason for the formation of planets, 218
   The planets are the bodies of the Planetary Spirits which direct their movements from the center, 255, 256
   Birth of Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter, 258
   Mars and its canals, the Earth, Venus and Mercury, 259, 271, 272
   The influence of Mercury will help man free himself so that he may leave body and re-enter at will, 273
   The Lords of Venus as leaders of humanity, 272
   Why some planets have moons, 259
   Our moon, the abode of failures who crystallized, 264

   Abused power over lower classes; were idolaters, 297
   (5)  The Original Semites
   They were a chosen people, the seed race for the Fifth Epoch races, 298, 334
