The ideas, concepts and symbols that are presented in the following pages are an extremely brief introduction that follows sequentially on those that are already offered in the world teachings given to the Human Kingdom.
However there is no claim as to their truth or correctness. The opportunity is for those who read to ascertain by practice and the use of their intuition if there is truth.
They should be accepted if there is a response from those who seek with an illumined mind and who recognise with the intuition their use.
To those who read and as yet cannot respond in such a manner these ideas should not be accepted. Development based on belief rather than clear understanding is of no use to the future of Humanity.
The spiritual human is one who having looked and responded to the world of natural phenomena or form finally begins to perceive that there is more to the world of immediate causes. At this point the awareness is becoming able to understand the true world of causes that affect daily life.
Into the heart of the Unknown which holds hidden the purpose and key to all that is.
As the human consciousness grasps the simplicity, inter-relationship and beauty with this developing awareness, seeing a part in it which can be responded to, so growth occurs.
The microcosm, human, begins to understand the macrocosm that surrounds in worlds and planes, adjusting their life accordingly to bring themselves into balance with the energy that permeates all life.
Throughout our development there have been in all races and nations inspired leaders and teachers who by their efforts have guided and encouraged humanity on this path of growth. Evidence of this can clearly be seen in the symbols and concepts they have used and which we still retain.
One of the first symbols common to all areas of humanity and used as an indication of a greater life than that of form can still be seen in the same context today.
This symbol is the circle.
Used from a very early period of our history and representing the understanding-
Amongst peoples of our past and present, to gather in a circle was and is to seek the strength and knowledge this concept contains.
This can be seen as the first steps away from the individual regard of self-interest where the human concerned is isolated from life, to the acceptance of the unity of life.
It represents a definite growth in conscious ability.
Where the energy of Life enters into form and when matter surrounds this energy, consciousness is born. All form life we can see is the energy of Life in conscious expression.
No matter what the form is, from an atom, to a human, to a planet and beyond, each is an expression of this central source we term God. Each is conscious, perhaps not in the way we understand the term, but all are united in this manner.
The demonstration of the other three kingdoms that we develop with - mineral, plant, animal - are all expressions of this energy we call God. This also applies to those other kingdoms we are yet to be aware of.
When this understanding became freely available to humanity the following symbol or versions of it were used in areas of sacred expression and in objects made to demonstrate this knowledge.
This symbol isAll life is conscious, all consciousness is a demonstration in form of that source of energy described by the word God.
All the symbols presented in this writing and the concepts they contain are given freely to assist the one who seeks greater understanding and awareness on what has been termed the Path of Life. With patience, a clear eye and no judgement but love in the heart for all encountered and done. Nothing is ever achieved with haste, only illusion.
As the aspect of God called Love begins its long journey into what we call form, and see about us demonstrated as the four kingdoms, it develops planes of existence. From the solid state of matter where this force has reached its most dense form of expression, the consciousness contained begins its long journey back to its source; and as this becomes more refined, so too does the matter or form which surrounds it. These refinements of form and consciousness are referred to as planes.
For humans the most visual plane is form or body, and for most this would seem to be the entire make up of life. However consciousness is not the body, but lies within the body and for humans this exists on two planes.
The first is called the Astral plane, the second known as the plane of Mind. Thus the human lives on three distinct planes, - body - astral - mind - and this in total is a representation of the next plane above these three, that of the plane of Soul.
This also has its planes of existence but as yet all that needs to be understood is that the soul represents itself in the material world doing so through what is called the Personality, and this is expressed on the three different planes which make up what we call Human.
Each expression of SOUL has in form a Personality, each personality or human is therefore a part of this SOUL, neither are separate from each other. For many people the knowledge of this inter-relationship is unknown, and the result in extreme cases is a human who sees no purpose to life, or who regards material or form expression as being all that comprises life.
Between the astral plane and the plane of matter or body is the etheric body. This is a body made up of very fine "strands" which is that part of the human that absorbs and gives off energy, and on which the form body is built. The etheric body, if seen separately from the body of form, is an exact shape and appearance of this body. At the point of death the etheric body, still combining with the astral and mind bodies, separates from the body of matter and continues on the path of life.
The many reports of people who have experienced what we call "near death" in which they talk of seeing their body and yet being free of it, is simply the movement of the etheric body away from that of form.
The etheric body has within it centres of energy called by some "chakras". These are seven principal centres of energy, but there are many others which too have great importance.
These centres each having a different energy, and therefore a different colour, are most safely developed naturally. The purpose of the etheric body, is to absorb energy, the energy of Love in motion, from all the other sources that the personality/human comes in contact with, from a solar . system to an atom; to absorb this, and to enhance it in a particular way, and then to radiate this new energy out. The etheric body both absorbs and gives off energy.
All form bodies, all life which contains consciousness, from an atom, to man, to a solar system and beyond to other worlds, have an etheric body. It is the way that energy is transferred between forms.
At present in the field of astro-physics, which is essentially a study of the energy of the universe that we live in, or a study of the face of God, there are some in that science who have found clear evidence of the etheric body of matter but as yet do not realise what is represented to them. The energy movement within the etheric body is mono-polar.
In the area of "healing" there are those who attempt to actively work with the etheric body, specifically the centres of energy, to improve-the life of the person they are focused on.
And yet others who through extreme meditation would raise the energy known as Kundalini - the latent fire within the body - the aim being to link all the centres of the etheric body and reach what is termed enlightenment.
Each of these three approaches to the etheric body have great dangers attached to them, but perhaps the most destructive of all is the attempt to raise Kundalini. This is a natural energy, located at the base of the spine, which over the period of many lives, proceeds on a path of growth, and eventually brings the reward of completion to the personality-human.
However when it is raised in a forced manner, it burns with absolute energy that which is yet unready to receive it. The first thing to be destroyed is the etheric body. When this happens, there is no longer any separation between the astral and form planes and for the personality concerned there is no longer any fixed reality. The result is total insanity. This problem does not stop at the point of death, but produces problems for future soul-personality development. There is no need to enlarge on this subject but where attempts are encountered the danger needs to be spoken of, the freedom of choice is then open to that personality.
Now in regard to the seven centres of energy within the etheric body, their point of contact in the form body is the seven glands of the endocrine system. The blood and nervous systems carrying the distribution of the overall etheric energy. The energy radiated out from other form bodies when absorbed by the etheric body enters the form via the spleen.
When there is any blockage within the spleen or other glands, the energy from the etheric body has difficulty entering the form. Therefore the first steps to healing or helping a blocked etheric body, is to ensure that the glands are working correctly. A build up of energy in the centers when a gland is not functioning correctly causes danger for the human concerned. This can cause cancer in the form body.
Energy must flow and the passage of that flow must be clearly understood before working with it . No matter how great the desire with love to help or assist the one to be healed, knowledge of the flow of this energy, where it comes from, how it is distributed, and what are the results, must be first. It would otherwise be like a surgeon operating on a heart transplant who had no knowledge of what was required, the patient would not be expected to live.
There are ways however of working successfully with these centres of energy, but the first step is to understand the endocrine system.
There are those people who have the view of clairvoyance and are able to See the colours of each centre, and know how the healing should proceed. In the future they will actively assist a healer. Within the medical profession, peopled by those who have chosen to be of service to others, there is the beginning of the awareness of the etheric body and its importance, with the result that in the future this knowledge will be used with great success in this field.
Desire to help is not sufficient to work with the etheric body, full knowledge of what it is ,and its purpose are the first requirements to working with it.
When this knowledge is found and understood, all its possibilities, all its dangers, the key to energy transfer between humans, between worlds, between universes will be at hand.
Desire without knowledge creates problems. Knowledge based on the energy of Love in form becomes Wisdom. Wisdom heals, desire does not.
Here again is the requirement of discernment. Necessary when we are working with the force and will of this our life, our planet, our solar system.; seeking to express the force of Love with Wisdom, in all the efforts we make no matter how small they seem.
All form life depends on our safe and correct approach to the etheric body. All conscious life is therefore also dependant.
The next understanding needed is how the energy of mind can assist in the healing of a damaged etheric body. Meditation is one of these methods and will be discussed at a later point.
So to sum up, the soul expresses itself via the personality or human. This personality has three different planes of existence, - mind, astral, form, - and when each of these are in balance, the soul begins to express itself clearly through the personality. The greater the purity of the personality the greater the expression of soul. The Fire within the form increases.
The next symbol is
To light a fire one needs heat, fuel, oxygen, and when these three are in correct proportion fire is the outcome. For a personality the same holds true, a correct balance of form, astral, mind, produces the Fire of Soul.
Another way of reading this symbol is Form - Consciousness - Purpose
All when in balance produce the Fire of Life or Love.
All we can see is the dance of this Love in motion. We each play our part to make this dance clear and strong and as the beauty within increases so too does that about us.
