#1: IHS 170-172

Keywords: Ego and the centres, electricity, third aspect, Brahma, Fohatic Force, First (or three first) solar system(s), lower evolution, creation.

The first reference is very rich with information without giving a clear definition of the word fohat. In this first quote we get the information that "The secret of fohat" is connected to:


  1. The creative process of thought form building

  2. The third initiation

  3. the why of the phenomena of the dense liquid and gaseous bodies of the Supreme Being

  4. the mystery of the threefold body of the triple Logos

  5. The transmission of energy from the Ego to the physical body via the force centres on the various planes

  6. The uprising of kundalini, its geometrical progression, and its vivification of all the centres

  7. Understanding of the development in the three earlier rounds and the evolutionary process in its earlier stages

  8. polarity, of at-one-ment, and essential union

  9. the secret of electricity, which is essentially triple in its nature, and deals with the Brahma or third aspect.

  10. and that the knowledge imparted allows the initiate to: understand, balance, read Akasha, manipulate, effect liberation, co-operate, wield power, become a centre of energy, dispense or retract force currents, increase power for good. (White Magic.)

  11. to co-operate intelligently with the plans of the Planetary Logos (- compare with the last paragraphs of reference #3.)



#3 IHS 177-178


Fohat is an energy: “material substance energised by Fohat”. (The two ways may be connected to ‘fanning of mind’ respectively ‘sparks of mind’, or before and after Ashramic contact. This is also indicated by the last two paragraphs of the quote, which touches the content of the last paragraph of ref. # 1.)


Ref. #4

Key-words: electrical magnetism, the elemental formative energy, manipulating matter of every density and vibration, karma of fifth ray monads working with Fohat, cosmic mental plane. Relates to Ref. #1: ii) The creative process of thought form building and ix) the secret of electricity, which is essentially triple in its nature, and deals with the Brahma or third aspect. The fifth ray is connected to the third initiation. Connection of Fohat to the Deva Kingdoms can be assumed.


#10. TCF 72


Master DK in analogy compares the third aspect of Fohat on the cosmic plane with the personality ray in the microcosm.


#11. TCF 85


We get an image of the working relationship between the fires and the form, the latent and active fire, prana, the etheric and the fire of the atom as the withdrawal of the life principle from the microcosmic form is described.


#15. Logos. TCF 259-260


There is a “close connection between mind and fohat or energy, or between thought power and electrical phenomena—the effect of fohatic impulse on matter” Not until we have successfully built the Antahkarana will we fully understand the “initiatory impulse” behind phenomena.


#16. TCF 443


The radiating life force of the Rays is “literally one of the aspects of Fohat”. So, by an increased understanding of Fohat we will better understand the Rays’ modus operandi in matter. The incarnating Logos’ fohatic energy builds the kingdoms of nature, giving them Body. [The quote is a part of several pages on the Ray Lives.]


#17. TCF 527-529


This very long quote is important for the understanding of how Fohat operates to differentiate manifestation based on positive force and negative electricity, and the second and third rays. The list of the forms in the pop-up is added as there is found the prakriti in #12.



#19. TCF 602-603


The quote is about the nature of Agni and its relation to Fohat. Compare with #9 and #20.


#20. TCF 610


“Agni is Fohat”

“He is the basis of the evolutionary process”

“He is that vitality which ultimately brings about a divine synthesis in which the form approximates subjective demand, and after being consciously directed, and manipulated, is finally discarded” Compare with #9, #19 and #21.


#21. TCF 611-612


Agni is here as in #9 a lower aspect of Fohat; the electric fire in the microcosm as Fohat is electric fire in the macrocosm. Compare with #9, #19 and #20.



#23. TCF 1248

[same as #4]


#24. RI 401
