Hi Ted - I see you have chemical engineering in your background - as do I.
I am not certain what you mean by 'disposed of consciousness'. The paper states: "Relative to a human, there are permanent atoms where all consciousness, all memory, all faculty is stored." This statement was taken directly from a Treatise on Cosmic Fire , 693 as follows:
"(b.) Hylozoistically considered. In continuing our consideration of the fifth logoic Principle, we will now view it in its hylozoistic aspect. We have seen that it can be regarded as the force, the energy or the quality which emanates from the logoic mental unit on the cosmic mental plane; this necessarily has a definite effect on the fifth systemic plane, and on the fifth subplane of the physical plane, the gaseous. Before taking up the subject of the Agnishvattas in detail, there are three points which should be borne in mind.
First, it should be remembered that all the planes of our system, viewing them as deva substance, form the spirillae in the physical permanent atom of the solar Logos. This has earlier been pointed out, but needs re-emphasising here. All consciousness, all memory, all faculty is stored up in the permanent atoms, and we are consequently dealing here with that consciousness; the student should nevertheless bear in mind that it is on the atomic subplanes that the logoic consciousness (remote as even that may be from the Reality) centres itself. This permanent atom of the solar system, which holds the same relation to the logoic physical body as the human permanent atom does to that of a man, is a recipient of force, and is, therefore, receptive to force emanations from another extra-systemic source. Some idea of the illusory character of manifestation, both human and logoic, may be gathered from the relation of the permanent atoms to the rest of the structure.
Hylozoism: From Greek "ule," matter; "zoon," animal; and "ism." Ism is a suffix embodying the doctrine or abstract idea of the noun to which it is attached. Hylozoism is the doctrine that all matter is endowed with life.
"When we have attained to this conception of hylozoism of a living material universe, the mystery of nature will be solved."Standard Dictionary.""
Since consciousness is stated as being stored in the permanent atom, all discussions regarding permanent atoms include consciousness.
I would like to state that I am only the translator or coordinator of the concepts.
I hope this clarifies.
