“Mr. B. Keightley: The thing has to be understood by direct consciousness, the direct contact – your consciousness having been attuned to the universal consciousness. Then you are in direct contact with those hierarchies, and you perceive them or sense them.
Mme. Blavatsky: Why should not you put yourself as these hierarchies?
Mr. Kingsland: Which in fact you are.
Mrs. Gordon: Then we have a dual consciousness. The higher consciousness, it is, that we must cultivate, and in some way bring it en rapport with our inner consciousness. That is what, of course, the men in India do – they bring their higher consciousness into outer consciousness.
Mr. Sargeant: Are not all higher truths which can be perceived through the universe perceived through the automatic flow of thought?
Mme. Blavatsky: I don’t think so. I don’t believe it.
Mr. Sargeant: It is a thought of which we are partially conscious on the higher plane, but not on the lower plane.
Mr. Kingsland: But what is that but the intuition? You are only giving it another name, It is intuition, is it not?
Mr. Sargeant: I don’t think we can call it so. We may intuitively know a thing without understanding it.
Mme. Blavatsky: You may intuitively know a thing without being able to give it expression, but you must understand it. You understand it in your spiritual understanding, but very likely you cannot give it an expression, because the European languages cannot convey it; not even Sanskrit, which is certainly a thousand times richer. These are things you have to use your soul language for, as it is called – the inner perception and the unspoken language.
Mr. Sargeant: May we not intuitively know that a certain cause will yield a certain effect, without knowing the way in which that effect will be yielded?
Mme. Blavatsky: Certainly there is not the smallest effect that can be produced without a cause, and certainly if there is an effect there must be a cause.”
