The Science of the Antahkarana
安塔卡拉纳的科学知识
This is the new and true science of the mind, which will utilize mental substance for the building of the bridge between personality and the soul, and then between the soul and the spiritual triad. This constitutes active work in substance subtler than the substance of the three worlds of ordinary human evolution. It concerns the substance of the three higher levels of the mental plane. These symbolic bridges, when constructed, will facilitate the stream of flow of consciousness and will produce that continuity of consciousness, or that sense of unimpeded awareness, which will finally end the fear of death, negate all sense of separateness, and make a man responsive in his brain consciousness, to impressions coming to him from the higher spiritual realms or from the Mind of God. Thus he will be more easily initiated into the purposes and plans of the Creator. (Education in the New Age by Alice A. Bailey, p. 95/6). Also see the Aart Jurriaanse article Bridge of Light and Quotes by the Tibetan on the Antahkarana.
这是一门新的有关心智的真正科学，它利用心智体的物质，在人格和灵魂之间，搭建一座桥梁，然后，进行灵魂与灵性三位一体之间桥梁的搭建。在这里展开工作所需要的物质要比人格所在的三个层面更加精微。它涉及到心智层中三个较高层面的物质。这些有象征意义的桥梁，当搭建完成后，会促进意识的流动，并且会产生持续的意识，或者说，会进入不受阻碍的意识状态，这会终结我们对死亡的恐惧感，消除所有的分离感，让大脑对来自更高层面灵性领域，或者说，对神的意识的反应更加灵敏。这样他就会更容易地体验和知晓造物主的计划和目标。
元素灵
Spirits of the elements are forces of nature. The creatures evolved in the four kingdoms, or elements earth (gnomes), air (sylphs), fire (salamanders) and water (undines). These sub-human entities also known as nature spirits are points of consciousness that indwell the elements. They are on the involutionary path or downward arc into matter. This contrasts with the angelic or devic kingdom which is on the evolutionary path evolving toward spirit. The Angelic (Devic) kingdom can control the elemental kingdom. Although humans can contact elementals on the emotional (astral) plane through rituals, ceremonies, and mantras, it is advised that they not contact them directly but work through the angelic kingdom who can safely control them. Some Shamans and ceremonial magicians do work with them directly but in order to do so safely, it helps to be able to see them and to know the words of power to control them.
元素精灵代表着自然的力量。它们在四个领域中进化：土元素（土精灵），火元素（火精灵），水元素（水精灵），风元素（风精灵）。这些进化仅次于人类的存有被称为自然精灵，它们是大自然灵性火花意识的栖息地。它们的进化方向是进入到物质层面。这与天使领域的进化方向相反，天使领域的进化方向是灵性领域。天使领域可以掌控元素王国。虽然人类通过一些仪式和祈请，可以连接到位于星光层的元素灵，但是建议不要直接跟它们连接，而是通过天使领域来跟它们建立连接，因为天使可以安全地控制它们。一些萨满和魔法师确实可以直接跟它们一起合作，但是为了安全起见，看得到它们，而且知道如何使用控制它们的咒音是前提条件。
Monad/Self ― Pure Spirit reflecting the triplicity of Deity: (1) divine Will or Power (the Father); (2) Love-Wisdom (the Son); (3) active Intelligence (the Holy Spirit). The spark of God resident in every human being.
单子/本我 — 纯粹的灵性火花，它反映了神性的三个面向，即灵性三位一体：
1. Divine Will or Power – The Father. 神圣意志或者力量 — 父神
2. Love-Wisdom – The Son 爱-智慧 神圣之子
3. Active Intelligence – The Holy Spirit. 行动 – 神圣的灵性
神性的火花存在于每个人之中。
Permanent atoms
永恒原子
― These are 6 in number. Three relate to the spiritual triad, the mental, buddhic, and atmic permanent atoms. Three relate to the three atoms of the personality vehicle ― physical and astral permanent atoms, and the mental unit ― around which the bodies for a new incarnation are formed. They retain the vibratory rate of the individual at the moment of death, guaranteeing that the energetic evolutionary status thus far achieved will be carried over into successive lives.
一共有六个，其中三个与灵性三位一体相关，分别是高等心智永恒原子、菩提永恒原子和在原子层进行表达的永恒原子。还有三个与人格的载具相关：物质永恒原子、星光永恒原子和心智单位，在一次新的转世中，肉体（以太体）、情绪体和低等心智体从这里形成。当个体在死亡时，它们保留了那一刻的振动频率，确保它们已经取得的能量进化状态，从而携带这种状态去体验接下来的生命。
Personality– The characteristics of an individual. The threefold lower man – mental, emotional, physical-etheric. The personality is the lower self, the reflection of the Soul, the conscious thinking identity, or Higher Self.
人格，一个人的个性特征。人在较低维度的体现：低等心智、情绪体、肉体（含以太体）。人格是低级的本我，是灵魂在低维度的投射。灵魂，又叫高我，是意识的象征。
