Descripción General

What is the belief of the inner esoteric Schools? the reader may ask. What are the doctrines taught on this subject by the Esoteric “Buddhists”? With them “Alaya” has a double and even a triple meaning. In the Yogacharya system of the contemplative Mahayana school, Alaya is both the Universal Soul (Anima Mundi) and the Self of a progressed adept. “He who is strong in the Yoga can introduce at will his Alaya by means of meditation into the true Nature of Existence.” The “Alaya has an absolute eternal existence,” says Aryasanga.[2]

She defined ālaya as follows:

The Universal Soul (See Secret Doctrine Vol. I. pp. 47 et seq.). The name belongs to the Tibetan system of the contemplative Mahâyâna School. Identical with Âkâsa in its mystic sense, and with Mûlaprakriti, in its essence, as it is the basis or root of all things.[3]

Seven cosmic planes according to H. P. Blavatsky

When describing the cosmic planes, Mme. Blavatsky makes ālaya the sixth. In the quote above she says that it is identical with ākāśa (the fifth cosmic principle) "in its mystic sense." Mūlaprakṛti, being ālaya's essence, can be regarded as the seventh cosmic principle. All this on the side of matter or substance.

Mahat, the Universal Mind, is said to be the manvantaric aspect of alaya, the Universal Soul.[4] And just as the sixth and fifth principles in human beings (buddhi and manas) are frequently referred to as working together, we find similar references applied to these cosmic principles, such as the phrases Alaya-Akasha[5] or Alaya-Mahat.[6]
