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.

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

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

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

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

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
