[From Sanskrit ''budh'' “awake,” “know,” “perceive”] '''Buddha''' means “the enlightened one.” It denotes an office in the spiritual [[hierarchy]] of worlds that is attained by passing certain initiations of the sacred fire, including those of the [[seven rays]] of the [[Holy Spirit]] and of the [[five secret rays]], the raising of the Feminine Ray (sacred fire of the [[Kundalini]]), and the “mastery of the seven in the seven multiplied by the power of the ten.” | [From Sanskrit ''budh'' “awake,” “know,” “perceive”] '''Buddha''' means “the enlightened one.” It denotes an office in the spiritual [[hierarchy]] of worlds that is attained by passing certain initiations of the sacred fire, including those of the [[seven rays]] of the [[Holy Spirit]] and of the [[five secret rays]], the raising of the Feminine Ray (sacred fire of the [[Kundalini]]), and the “mastery of the seven in the seven multiplied by the power of the ten.”<ref>See “The Seven in the Seven and the Test of the Ten,” {{THA}}, bk. 2, chap. 10.</ref> | ||
