White Magic -- Lesson Two, Part 12

The synchronicity may be different than we thought, Rick. Lucis Trust wrote me a short letter back stating:

"The symbol of the Lucis Publishing Company is a Triangle with the letters L-U-X -- Latin for "Light," superimposed within it."

This verifies the accuracy of your perception, Rick, and it appears that most students accept this explanation and do not look deeper in finding a perhaps more primary meaning.

I wrote back asking several more questions, among them was who actually created the symbol and have not heard back.

Since we do not have a full answer we will proceed with what we have and search for higher meaning.

I believe the symbol was created while Alice A. Bailey was still alive as I seem to recall seeing it on some early editions of the books.

If the symbol came from Alice then it is more than probable that it was given to her by Djwahl Khul. If the symbol came from someone else at in the Lucis organization then it is still possible it was planted in this individual's mind by the Tibetan [Djwahl Khul -- DK].

When you see the interpretation I will present I think you will agree that the symbol was indeed created by a Master and given to Lucis Trust by some means -- that its creation was more involved than Alice A. Bailey playing around with a pencil seeing how she could be creative with the letters L U X.

One question I have is whether anyone at Lucis Trust or the Arcane School is aware of other interpretations.

One obvious reason that L U X is not the full meaning is that the central ascending line is not a part of the formation of the three letters. If all the meaning there is to this symbol is L U X, or Light within the Triangle or Trinity, then what is this unnecessary ascending line doing in there?

Actually, this line is a very essential part of the core meaning, and I maintain that even though L U X is presented as the interpretation, that this is really a blind. Whether Alice A. Bailey knew this, or Lucis Trust presently knows it, is an interesting point of speculation.

Let us proceed with discovering this core interpretation as I see it in the hope that Djwahl Khul will not mind its revelation being posted on the internet.

Before I give another hint let me say that all your speculations and observations have a lot of value and I find no flaw in any of them, except maybe for John K's much appreciated comic relief.

The last hint didn't seem to take you far, but keep it in mind as you consider this next hint in finding the core meaning.

Study it, and compare it to the symbol and see if the meaning dawns on you.
