40: It might be of interest to note the correspondences between these six forces and the "shaktis" of the Hindu philosophy.  The Secret Doctrine says that:—
The Six are the six forces of Nature.
What are these six forces?  See S. D., I, 312.
a. They are types of energy.
b. They are the dynamic quality or characteristic of a planetary Logos.
c. They are the life force of a Heavenly Man directed in a certain direction.
These "shaktis" are as follows:—
1. Parashakti—Literally, the supreme force, energy and radiation in and from substance.
2. Jnanashakti—The force of intellect or mind.
3. Ichchhashakti—The power of will, or force in producing manifestation.
4. Kriyashakti—The force which materialises the ideal.
5. Kundalini shakti—The force which adjusts internal relations to the external.
6. Mantrikashakti—The force latent in sound, speech and music.
These six are synthesised by their Primary, the Seventh.
