  Esoteric cosmology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Esoteric cosmology is cosmology that is an intrinsic part of an esoteric or occult system of thought.
Such cosmologies cover many of the same concerns also addressed by religious cosmology and philosophical cosmology, such as the origin, purpose, and destiny of the universe and of consciousness and the nature of existence.
However, esoteric cosmology is distinguished from religion in its more sophisticated construction and reliance on intellectual understanding rather than faith, and from philosophy in its emphasis on techniques of psycho-spiritual transformation.

Physical cosmology is the branch of physics and astrophysics, which deals with the study of the physical origins of the universe and the nature of the universe on its very largest scales.
Modern scientific cosmology may be considered to begin in 1915 with Albert Einstein's publication of his theory of general relativity and the growing ability of astronomers to study very distant objects.
Common themes addressed in esoteric cosmology are emanation, involution, evolution, epigenesis, planes of existence, hierarchies of spiritual beings, cosmic cycles (e.g., cosmic year, Yuga), yogic or spiritual disciplines, and references to altered states of consciousness.

 A Metaphysical "Map" of Consciousness/Reality - "Vertical" Axis
With the occult revolution of the 19th Century, the concept of Seven "Planes" of existence was codified by a H.P. Blavatsky and Max Theon, and further developed by Sri Aurobindo, Alice Bailey, Gurdjieff (the "ray of creation") Sant Mat, and the New Age movement.
The two are balanced, as in the shamanic cosmology, Sri Aurobindo's Subconscient/Inconscient and Superconscient, and the Lower and Higher Unconscious in Roberto Assagioli's Psychosynthesis "Egg Diagram".
It is suggested here that, in addition to their existence as worlds, universes, and phenomena in their own right, these various planes, octaves, and resonances exert occult influences on physical evolution; and that emergent physical evolution involves the embodiment and physicalisation of successive resonances or ocatves from the "vertical" ontocline.

 Theosophy article: "What Shall We Do for our Fellow-Men?" by Blavatsky
His aversion to "Cosmology" and other sciences including theogony, and as contrasted with "Ethics" pure and simple, dates also from the period he was taken in hand by the said learned guru.
Esoterically, there is no other way, means or method of sacrificing oneself "to the eternal" than by working and sacrificing oneself for the collective spirit of Life, embodied in, and (for us) represented in its highest divine aspect by Humanity alone.
Those who go against "esoteric cosmology" and the development of psychic powers are not forced to study either.

This masterpiece of esoteric Rosicrucian cosmology (on which Rudolf Steiner worked and then reworked for many years, making it ever more precise and accurate) remains the most effective presentation to date of the spiritual alternative to contemporary materialist cosmologies and the Darwinian view of human nature and evolution.
In this comprehensive work of spiritual science, readers learn how the creation and evolution of humanity is embedded in the heart of the vast, invisible web of interacting cosmic beings through whom the processes of cosmic evolution unfold.

 Educational Initiatives and Group Projects
The educational programs (academic, meditative and musical) of the Seven Ray Institute and University of the Seven Rays are designed to help mature individuals (men and women of goodwill) understand the subjective causes behind external events, and to more effectively serve the cause of human upliftment and fulfillment.
All our educational programs are based upon the system of esoteric philosophy known as the “Ageless Wisdom,” or the “Trans-Himalayan Wisdom,” derived from the teachings of the Christ (in the New Testament), the Buddha, and other Spiritual Masters, with special emphasis on the writings of the Tibetan Master Djwhal Khul.
The University of the Seven Rays and Seven Ray Institute have for many years promoted the seed-development of these new esoteric schools in a number of countries and are now taking the process one step further by encouraging illuminative interaction between those who are actively engaged in such developmental efforts.

 GLASS BEAD GAME
We see the Glass Bead Game as a metaphor for a tradition of esoteric philosophical cosmology which has existed throughout every culture known to man. This philosophical cosmology is an expression of the fundamental system of order existent in the universe.
These systems of cosmology are usually expressed in symbolic forms such as sacred geometry, alchemy, hieroglyphics, mythology, harmonics, arithmetic, astronomy, magic, and the like, but what they all have in common is a unified vision of the process of manifestation of the universe from the absolute to the relative.
In the past esoteric cosmology has been restricted to silent halls of the mystery schools or to the solitary passing of knowledge from teacher to student, or to a selection of rare, abstract texts, some of which are included on this we site.
