The question explained in this talk concerns: ‘what are the thought constructs in terms of the appearance of phenomena? The way thoughts produce form is the subject of ‘magic’—the production of siddhis (psychic powers). As the Yogācāra philosophy states: all phenomena are a manifestation of Mind, so in Part 1 of Thought Forms Bodo comments from an esoteric perspective some principles of this Buddhist school. Things like the manifestation of the subjective Universe into objective matter and the concept of the manifestation of Logoic Thought-constructs in the Universe are thus discussed.

The axiom goes: ‘as above so below, that which is within is also without’. Through utilising this axiom, the meditator aspires to learn the art and laws of Thought Form construction that will eventually lead to becoming a ‘God’, a Creator of vast spaces of evolutionary attainment for many entities, such as what the earth represents. This is obviously a distant goal, but one that the process of meditation eventually leads to.
