Man,
as sketched by Leonardo da Vinci ... most of us think that all
we are is our physical body.
Seven
bodies of man - in PART ONE, we look at the four 'lower bodies'.
WE
have seven bodies in all and most of us know so little about the
these six "other" bodies, and we are certainly not taught about
them in school, but I have no doubt the time will come when our
children will be given this knowledge.
A good analogy of the superficiality of our teachings could be
the classification of water as H2O! Anybody who has read Messages
From Water by Dr Emoto, and seen the new documentary, Water -
the Great Mystery, will know that water is conscious and intelligent,
and responds to our feelings and emotions, and is a lot more that
just the scientific classification "H2O". Water is alive and has
memory, and can be communicated with, as can all of the Elemental
Kingdom which brought form into physical existence on our planet.
This is something that will be covered in more depth in later
editions of The Ascension Times.
All
seven of our bodies, except for the physical, are invisible to
most, as they vibrate faster and have a higher frequency, and
when we look at the size of the physical in relation to the rest,
it is small - yet most of us think that all we are is our physical
body! Our bodies are divided into two parts - Lower Earthly Bodies
and Higher Spiritual Bodies. The former are our Physical, Etheric,
Mental and Emotional bodies, and the only way we are going to
transcend the lower earthly attractions and transform our lower
bodies is to consciously bring light into them. The light acts
as an electric charge as it flows into each electron, causing
it spin more rapidly and this gradually accelerates the vibratory
rate of the lower bodies.
When we lower the calibre of our thoughts and feelings, we lower
the vibratory action of the four lower bodies. The biggest of
these bodies, by far, is the Emotional Body, and it is the only
one that does not take on the shape of the physical. It is oval
in shape and sits outside of our earthly vehicle. The body next
to this is the Mental Body, which takes on the shape of our physical
body. Next is our the Etheric Body, bigger than our Physical Body
and which sits close to it, interpenetrating it, and is often
called its "double". It is known, when combined with other finer,
invisible bodies as our "aura". It is linked to our nervous system
and transmits the energy it receives from many external sources
including the planets, the sun, the Seven Rays ("Solar Pranic
Emanations" or Prana) and even higher, via the spleen in our physical
bodies. It also acts as a store for this radiatory light and heat
from the celestial bodies. Prana also enters through the energy
centre between the shoulder blades, and it is very good to allow
the sun's rays to enter through here. The Etheric Body also acts
as a Memory Body and has recorded all our experiences since our
original individualisation took place. It receives all ideas,
and sieves them through to the Physical Body once they have been
energised by the thoughts and feelings from the Mental and Emotional
Bodies for physical manifestation.
As
both the good and bad are recorded, it is essential that the Violet
Flame of Transmutation and Transformation be used by us to cleanse
our Etheric Bodies of the debris that we do not want to hold onto.
(See issue one of
The Ascension Times). This debris, among other things, makes
us sick, feel tired and old, and prevents us from being God-in-Action
on Earth, in our Individualised Form - our "I AM Presence". This
was told to us by the Great Master Jesus, who said: "You can do
all I do, and more."
The Physical body is our "vehicle" on this earthly plane and is
the body that houses the Immortal Three-fold Flame, in our hearts,
which is the aspect of our "White Fire Being", our original individualised
"I AM Presence", which is the essence of God, Our Holy Christ
Selves, in us all originating from the time when we first split
from God. It is the "energy'"that beats our heart. The Three-fold
Flame is pink on the right (this represents Divine Love and is
feminine in nature and known as the Holy Spirit, which fills us
with love, the glue of the universe); in the centre, it is yellow-gold,
the "Son" (Sun) and is illuminating in nature, shining the light
on the truth - this is our innate wisdom. The white-blue flame
on the left is the masculine, the "Will of God" and the "Father"
energy in us all, the will that drives us to do good things.
With this knowledge we can see that our physical bodies are in
essence the Sacred Temples of God, our own individualised aspect
of God (part of the whole - hence the saying, "we are all one")
and need to be treated as such. We need to get into the habit
of thinking, feeling and doing only peaceful, constructive and
good "God-like" things, remembering, as with all things, that
practice makes perfect. So as we expand our "Three-fold" Flame
by doing the "good" things that we were always meant to be doing,
so the Divinity in each of us expands until we eventually become
the Divine Being of Light that we are, just disguised in our lower
bodies that we have created by the un-Godly ways we have lived
for eons of time.
Equally important is to eat a "peaceful" diet, as the vibrations
of our food go into all our bodies. So it is also important to
eat food prepared by a sweet, calm person, as their energy also
sinks into our food. If we were to follow the ways of the Essenes,
an ancient sect or Brotherhood that lived very simple, peaceful
and harmless lives - Jesus was an Essene, and is a good example
of the Godliness of people - we would eat only live, raw food
twice a day. What we take into our bodies we become, so to eat
food that has been cooked is to eat dead food and our bodies take
on that vibration. Worse still is the eating of dead animals,
as not only are we breaking one of the fundamental laws of life,
that of killing a sentient being, but we also merge with the emotional
body of the animal, and take on their fears at being farmed and
killed so cruelly. It may take a while to get our diets, thoughts,
feelings and actions pure but if we are to progress and get off
the karmic wheel of death and rebirth that keeps us in bondage
to death, disease, limitation and fear, it is essential we work
on ourselves to reach our true potential of the Immortal Divine
Beings that we originally were.
We are meant to be living life constantly connected to our divine
selves - Our "I AM Presence", realising that every time we say
"I AM", we are referring to the God in ourselves! And if we fully
realise that we are that "I AM Presence" having a physical experience,
we can never be sick, tired, old, dying, judgemental, critical,
sad or any of the other things that are not God-like. We should
only be doing only good and constantly in selfless service in
what every little (and big) ways we can, and living with complete
love and peace towards everything and everyone, with excellence
and ecstasy. This is easier said than done, but with practice,
it becomes easier and we begin to feel the Divine Presence responding
to our efforts. We need to reconnect with the Elemental Kingdom
that brought into form our physical bodies, and all physical forms
on Earth - the elements - Earth, Wind, Water and the Fire. We
need to feel the great love and gratitude we once did, praising
and working with the intelligent consciousness of these "beings"
that range in size from a tiny speck to a mighty mountain. We
need to remember when we all lived in peace and harmony there
were no ravaging storms or devastating droughts. The Elemental
Kingdom, reflecting our un-Godly selfishness and irreverence for
all life, is now rebellious, and the weather reflects this. So
if we want to do away with environmental damage, death, disease,
wars, greed, separation and competition, we must change ourselves
first.
We need not only to look to "greening" our lives and changing
our diets but also to our mental and emotional worlds. We need
re-teach ourselves to always be polite, kind, forgiving, compassionate,
non-reactive, peaceful and loving. This attitude will manifest
those same qualities in our leaders and those with whom we share
our lives. Harmony is essential. We need to have clear boundaries,
lovingly bringing them into being, making sure we don't take our
Emotional and Mental bodies into the "firing squad". This will
start to change our four lower bodies and raise vibrations, and
we will start to live in Godly ways, so expanding our Higher Bodies
and then we will start to become more of our Holy Christ Self
and be guided by our mighty "I AM Presence". So our lives will
change.
