Magnetic Impulse

2^nd Law of Group Work (esoteric name: The Law of Polar Union)
ALICE A. BAILEY: Cosmic Fire, page
1216: “Law 2.  The Law of Magnetic Impulse.  The law governing the primary realisations by any atom of its environing contacts, and the going out, or feeling after, by that atom so that eventually a relation between that which is realised as part of the group and the unit is established.  This is not the same thing as making sense contacts, as the relation established is between the Self in all, and not between aspects of the Not-Self.  This law is sometimes called “The first step towards marriage,” for it results in an eventual union between the man or atom and the group which produces harmonious group relations.”

1220: “For each of these Laws, there is a definite formula and symbol.  At this stage of teaching or through this Treatise, it is not possible to reveal or impart the formulas.  The symbol may be described …

Law 2.  Two balls of fire united by a triangle of fire, thus picturing the triple interplay between all atomic structures.”

ALICE A. BAILEY: Esoteric Psychology II, page 109 – 117
110 – 112: “This Law of Magnetic Impulse governs the relation, the interplay, the intercourse, and the interpenetration between the seven groups of souls on the higher levels of the mental plane which constitute the first of the major form differentiations.  These we can only study intelligently from the angle of the seven ray groups, as they compose the spiritual aspect of the human family.  This law governs also the relationships between souls, who, whilst in manifestation through form, are en rapport with each other.  It is a law, therefore, which concerns the inter-relation of all souls within the periphery of what the Christians call “the Kingdom of God.”  Through a right understanding of this law, the man arrives at a knowledge of his subjective life; he can wield power subjectively, and thus work consciously in form and with form, yet holding his polarisation and his consciousness in another dimension, and functioning actively behind the scenes.  This law concerns those inner esoteric activities which are not primarily related to form life. …

The Law of Magnetic Impulse is in the soul realm what the Law of Attraction is in the world of phenomena. …

This law governs also the relation of the soul of a group to the soul of other groups.  It governs the interplay, vital but unrealised yet as a potency, between the soul of the fourth kingdom in nature, the human, and the soul of the three subhuman kingdoms, and likewise that of the three superhuman kingdoms.”

696: “There is a law called the Law of Magnetic Impulse or Polar Union which plays an active part here.  This law governs the relation of the soul of a group to the soul of other groups.  It governs the interplay, vital but unrealised yet as a potency, between the soul of the fourth kingdom in nature, the human, and the soul of the three subhuman kingdoms, and likewise of the three superhuman kingdoms.  It is, owing to the major part which humanity has to play in the great scheme or Plan of God, the law which will be the determining law of the race.  This will not, however, be the case until the majority of human beings understand something of what it means to function as souls.”

697: “Just as the Law of Attraction, working on the physical plane, brought them together as men and women into one group effort, so the Law of Magnetic Impulse can begin to control them when, again as a group and only as a group, they unitedly constitute themselves channels for service in pure self-forgetfulness.”
