On the day of the conjunction between our Earth and the asteroid of the Beautiful-Voiced Muse Calliope in Pisces, we publish the document
and here in particular its 7th and final chapter, which concludes our comparison between the Myth of the Muses and the possible esoteric values of their Principles, pertaining to the Sun of the human Soul, the egoic Lotus:
According to analogical thinking and possible esoteric correspondences, we have thus presented the Muses as Highest Devic Lives, co-creators together with the Second Logos and the planetary Gods/Logos – as Handmaids of the Mother of the World inspiring the Good, the Beautiful and the True.
Now, as the seal of this tale, we wish to place the correlation between their Nine Energies and the Nine Causal Vibrations of the Egoic Lotus, the core of the human Soul. As Above, so Below. 
As mentioned above, the Egoic Lotus is the power station of Solar Fire (the Second Fire: Kingdom of Zeus/Jupiter and Apollo/Sun), the Source of true Consciousness that reunites, at our human level, Spirit and Matter, Heaven and Earth, Spiritual Soul and Personality, the Spiritual Triad (Atma-Buddhi-Manas) and the three lower worlds (mental, astral and etheric/physical).
So let us try to imagine the Egoic Lotus of Humanity as the Sacred Abode of the Muses, whose Voice and Rhythms attract and guide us to the supermundane Kingdom of the planetary Hierarchy and solar Hierarchy (Shamballa).

Here, then, is a hypothetical analogical correspondence between the ennead of petals of the Egoic Lotus,
– the triad of the 1st Ray: 3 petals of Sacrifice/Power (1.1 – 1.2 – 1.3)
– the triad of the 2nd Ray: 3 petals of Love (2.1 – 2.2 – 2.3)
– the triad of the 3rd Ray: 3 petals of Knowledge (3.1 – 3.2 – 3.3)76
and the essential Energies or ideal formulas of the Muses/Asteroids:
1.1) Calliope (she who has a beautiful voice): Eloquence, epic poetry, elegy, the grand narrative, initiatory texts. Art of speech and thought-form construction – occult philosophy.
Power of Thought
1.2) Urania (she who is heavenly): astronomy and astrology, she who rules the heavens with her myths (didactic epics), the motions and geometries of the heavenly bodies. Wisdom of Heaven (outer and inner).
Power of Heaven
1.3) Polymnia (she who has many hymns): Sacred and ritual dance and choral singing, mime as rhythm. Rhythmic sacredness and solemn intimacy.
Power of Rhythm
*
2.1) Melpomene (she who sings): tragedy. Depth, gravity, integrity.
Love and Sacrifice
2.2) Erato (she who provokes desire): love poetry, that which awakens eros, the beauty and strength of feeling, desire; also Muse of choral singing and then geometry and mimicry. Ardor/eros.

Nine Formulas for transcending the three lower worlds and releasing Light, Love and Power according to their three aspects:
a. First Group of Petals: – Knowledge Petals. [“the totality of experience and developed consciousness” (see footnote 76 for the source of the present series of quotes) – Hall of Ignorance].
3.3) “1. The Petal of Knowledge for the physical plane. Through the breaking of the Law and the ensuing suffering the price of ignorance is paid and knowledge is achieved. This unfoldment is brought about through physical plane experience.”
Knowledge produces the adaptability needed to sublimate suffering in the dance of ceaseless renewal: the Light of Motion (Terpsichore: Art of Sacred Movement-Adaptability).
3.2) “2. The Petal of Love for the physical plane. It unfolds through physical relationships, and the gradual growth of love from love of self to love of others.”
The Self-giving to others expands the Light of Joy (Thalia: Art of divergence/amusement – joy and irony).
3.1) “3. The Petal of Sacrifice for the physical plane. This unfoldment is brought about through the driving force of circumstances, and not of free will. It is the offering up of the physical body upon the altar of desire—low desire to begin with, but aspiration towards the end, though still desire. As man in the early stages of his evolution is polarised on the physical, much of this is undergone unconsciously …” [Hall of Ignorance].
Progressive harmonization and elevation of desire and emotions, bringing balance or ‘musicality’ to life: the Light of Sound (Euterpe: Musicality-harmonization).
*
b. Second Group of Petals—Love Petals. [“the application of knowledge in love and service, i.e., the expression of Self and Non-Self in mutual vibration” – Hall of Learning]
2.3) “1. The Petal of Knowledge, for the astral plane; unfoldment is brought about by the conscious balancing of the pairs of opposites, and the gradual utilisation of the Law of Attraction and Repulsion. The man passes out of the Hall of Ignorance where, from the egoic point of view, he works blindly and begins to appreciate the effects of his physical plane life; by a realisation of his essential duality he begins to comprehend causes.”
Progressive awareness and appreciation of Self (cause) versus Non-Self (effects): the Soul unveils the power of heroism to build the Good – Love/Wisdom and Value (Clio: Valuing and appreciation of heroism)
2.2) “2. The Petal of Love for the astral plane; unfoldment is brought about through the process of gradually transmuting the love of the subjective nature or of the Self within. This has a dual effect and works through on to the physical plane in many lives of turmoil, of endeavour and of failure as a man strives to turn his attention to the love of the Real.”
Transmutation of personal feeling into ardent love for Reality – Love and Beauty (Erato: Ardor/eros)
2.1) “3. The Petal of Sacrifice for the astral plane; unfoldment is brought about by the attitude of man as he consciously endeavours to give up his own desires for the sake of his group. His motive is still somewhat a blind one, and still coloured by the desire for a return of that which he gives and for love from those he seeks to serve, but it is of a much higher order [Hall of Learning] than the blind sacrifice to which a man is driven by circumstances as is the case in the earlier unfoldment. [Hall of Ignorance] …”.
Responsible renunciation of personal motives to serve the Common Good – Love and Sacrifice (Melpomene: Depth, gravity, integrity)
*
c. “Third Group of Petals—Sacrifice Petals [“the full expression of knowledge and love aimed at total conscious sacrifice to serve the purposes of the planetary Logos and to implement them in group work” – Hall of Wisdom]
1.3) “1. The Petal of Knowledge for the mental plane; its unfoldment marks the period wherein the man consciously utilizes all that he has gained or is gaining under the law for the definite benefit of humanity.”
Conscious and organized use of one’s virtues and resources for the Common Good – Power of Rhythm (Polymnia: Rhythmic sacredness and solemn intimacy)
1.2) “2. The Petal of Love on the mental plane is unfolded through the conscious steady application of all the powers of the soul to the service of humanity with no thought of return nor any desire for reward for the immense sacrifice involved.”
Impersonal service to heavenly vision – Power of Heaven (Urania: Wisdom of the outer and inner Heaven).
1.1) “3. The Petal of Sacrifice for the mental plane: demonstrates as the predominant bias of the soul as seen in a series of many lives spent by the initiate prior to his final emancipation. He becomes in his sphere the “Great Sacrifice.” …”.
Sacrifice of the Self (Manas) to the Higher Will (Atma-Buddhi) for the salvation of humanity – Power of Thought(Calliope: Art of speech and thought-form construction)

The work of the nine Muses’ vibrations of the Egoic Lotus electrifies the human soul: “When the fire of matter, of “fire by friction,” becomes sufficiently intense; when the fire of mind of solar fire (which vitalises the nine petals) becomes equally fierce, and when the electric spark at the innermost centre blazes out and can be seen, the entire causal body becomes radioactive.” (TFC 543)
Thus Man is on the way to his liberation: at the Fourth Initiation, the causal body is destroyed and the Egoic Ray can return to the Father’s House, to the Fourth Human Hierarchy of human Monads, before further abstractions; the Hero-Artist, now one with the Muses, reveals the glory of the central Jewel, synthesis of the spiritual Triad – Light, Love and Power – Source of the Beautiful, the Good and the True.

Recognizing the Muses as sublime Masters of Beauty and Harmony, listening to their Voice in the heart and in the light of the Higher Mind, invoking their help and initiatory power, following their motion and sacred encounters with other Gods (Planets and Stars) in the inner and outer Heavens …
Behold, as we remember that we are Solar Angels, wings are unfurled for infinite flights and gifts, in the service of the Will to Good, Beauty and Truth: from the place of Fire, in the Heart of the Head, from that Summit Center where Zeus commands and creates out of Love.
In such an inner Academy,
consecrated to the Love of Wisdom,
we learn the Art of Living
of the Music of the Spheres.
Listening to the chant of Muses,
following their dance in Heaven,
the Hero in us burns and inspires
infinite enchantment in human hearts,
together to return to the One,
free and resplendent with Harmony.
To Love Who moves the sun and the other stars.
