    The Magic of Wisdom: Part 2www.sergeraynauddelaferriere.net

    PAGE 4.In the same way there are places in the body. The seven Chakras in the body

    exist just as geographically, and some people have made the pilgrimage of thoseplaces. The transmutation from Malouth to Kether can be done just as can apilgrimage. As the 7 Chakras of the body, there exists in India a path ofpilgrimage, 7 Holy Cities. (Names unrevealed), not big places, from MATARIAN(?) toKAILAS. These 7 centers represent the 7 Chakras, and as at each city the Pilgrimreceives an Illumination, so we make a work to illuminate the Chakra in the body.

    From Kataragama in Ceylon, or Muladhara in the body, to Mt. Kailas in Tibet, orSahasrara in they body....Both of them a long and difficult pilgrimage.

    The pilgrimage to Mt. Kailas is very difficult, not only because of thedistance, but because it is a difficult journey in itself. From the last city inIndia, Mona(?), to Mr. Kailas it takes only two weeks, but the ascent in that twoweeks, over snow-covered territory, no tracks, with no nourishment and bare footed,finishes in an ascent of 15,000 - 20,000 feet.

    Just before reaching Nana, there are two little Temples, KEDARNATE(?) andBADRINATE(?), that have to be visited. They represent more or less the two Eyes,one for Vishana, one for Shiva. When we visit the two little Temples, we havereached 17,000 feet.

    Mt. Kailas is not the highest mountain; Mt. Everest is higher, but Mt. Kailas is

    the most important because of the magnetism. There are 4 smaller mountains aroundMt. Kailas, and these represent the four elements,

    Page 5.

    water, fire, air , earth. The great importance of Mt. Kailas is that it representsthe 7th center in the pilgrimage. From around Mt. Kailas there flow 7 Holy Riversfrom India to Tibet.

    Names of Rivers: Indus,

    Sutzej,

    Jamuna,

    Ganges,

    Gogra,

    Mayumba,

    Brahmaputra.

    GEOGRAPHICALLY, in the PHYSICAL WORLD, there is proof of the work; it is not amere superstition.

    Work first with Yoga in the physical body only, and then on the other Yoga ofthe mind. If you don't find the way in working, then you walk from Ceylon toKailas, and having reached Kailas, you then have the privilege to use the title,

    Paramhansa, (Meaning 'beyond the hansa', param being beyond, hansa being a Swan,symbol of perfect Yogi.)

    Thus the symbol of Paramhansa means 'more'than a Yogi, 'more' than a Sage.

    Two there are who use the title they haveearned, Yogananda, (you have all ready hiswork, Autobiography of a Yogi), and SriRama Krishna, Guru of Swami Vivekananda, thelatter being one of the great teaches of theworld.

    The title, Paramhansa is achieved not simply because of the pilgrimage fromCeylon to Mt. Kailas, walking through the Himalayas, but because the personattempting the pilgrimage is ready in his mind. If you are not ready, the Himalayaswill not receive you. There is a co-finite magnetic force which pushes you back andyou cannot go past it. (Ref. Well-equipped French expedition which could onlyreach a certain point, and the Russian Plane, whose pilot had to make a circuitousroute, reporting on his return to Russia, that there was a magnetic force whichwould not permit the plane to pass it, quoted in a Russian newspaper,Frevda(SP).)

    The Master stated that he had made the attempt twice and on each occasion had toreturn after the 5th city because of lack of nourishment and bleeding feet. On thethird attempt, 2,000 people set out; 500 reached the boundary line where they couldsee the mount and are consequently saved. Only two reached Mt. Kailas, himselfand another. They journey took four months.

    The last 24 hours' stage of the journey wasover stones like flint that made the trip

    very similar to fire-walking.

    A small Temple at the journey's end was ahaven of rest and comfort after the perilsof the ascent.

    Mantras were repeated during thewhole of the

    ascent.

    SYNTHESIS: The Way has been likened to a Razor's Edge. It is so narrow that weneed to take only one step aside and we are off the way. Therefore we have to bepointed, which is difficult because we are living in a world of things and theworld is pressing in upon us. But for all that we must climb the great hill uponwhich stands the Temple. Actually we climb the mountain the easy way by going round

  • 7/28/2019 02 The Magic of Wisdom [61-115][18] 4-12 Feb 1952

    6/18

    and round, not straight up, and we get there in the long run; but the importantpoint is to set or eyes upon the top to reach our goal. We have been told to setour hand to the plow and don't look back but should we look back it really doesn'tmatter, we realize our goal in a few incarnations. To realize this goal it is verynecessary to develop three qualities:

    (1) DISCRIMINATION: (We must know, must learn to know)

    (2) GOOD CONDUCT: (The first thing is to govern ourselves,He who rules himself is greater than he who

    takes a city)

    (3) DEVOTION: Look to our Ideal and become one pointed.

    To see with the single eye.

    To achieve these three necessary attributes we an gain assistance in two ways:

    (1) From our Higher Self, that Omniscience on who we shut the door throughignorance. We can get tremendous help from that Higher Self who is our God.

    (2) From those who have trodden the Path, from those Great Ones who areconstantly pouring forth help upon our Earth. We can act as channels and receivehelp from them.

    In effect, we turn away from all the things of this world and so we come to astudy of THE CHAKRAS which are the gates between this Physical World and our HigherSelves, and act as the foroe(?), Spiritual Regents. As we work spiritually theChakras vivify and become very splendid things. They are the center of our Life andaid us on our Journey.

    Referring to the Chart, Page 1, here illustrated is the Anahata Chakra which istremendously important (refer to commentary by Dr. de la Ferriere).

    Every Chakra is symbolized in the following ways: COLOR, GEOMETRICAL FIGURE,ANIMAL, LETTER IN SANDSKRIT, TWO DIETIES.

    The Chakras are so symbolized by the ancients who had a great knowledge of them,and it is with these symbols that they endeavored to bring attention to theenormous assistance we can receive if we make the effort to visualize them. Theteachings regarding th eChakras vary a little, but that is not really important. Weare endeavoring to obtain an Understanding. The Knowledge is not the importantaspect of our work.

    LETTERS: There is a letter for every Petal and for every Chakra up to Agna,totaling 50 Letters. Sanskrit has only 49 Letters so the ancients added anotherLetter. Letters symbolize Power.

    As the Prana pours into the Astral it weaves a web similar to basket weaving,knitting the Etheric and Astral closely together. As these bodies knit a wall isformed which prevents us from contacting the external Astral World, which is forour own protection as this World contains terrifying things. If the Web is in anyway injured or opened EXCEPT THROUGH THE CHAKRAS, there is canker(?) of the AstralWorld rushing in upon us, or of us oozing out, resulting in such things as greatsorrow, injuries through accidents, subjection to drugs, narcotics etc.

    ELEMENTS: By meditating on the Elements we are really meditating on Balance.

    MONDAY, 4th FEBRUARY 1952. Page 3. LESSON: MISS P. NAGEL.

    TWO DIETIES: God and Goddess (positive & negative)

    GEOMETRICAL SHAPE: Planes of matter, development in the senses.

    ANIMAL: Strength (qualities) In the case of the Anahata Chakra

    the Antelope symbolizes speed.

    In conclusion we would say that to vivify the Chakras, not only is it necessaryto do Hatha Yoga, but also to have an understanding of the Chakras in theircomplete symbolism, not so much an academic knowledge.

    For those of us who are unable to find the way by Faith, then we must seek theway by Knowledge which brings Understanding. For your contemplation the followingis quoted from the Voice of Silence.

    When we are trying to hear the Voice within us, the world of ourselves ispressing so upon us that we cannot hear the Still Small Voice Within.

    He who would hear the Voice of Nada (the soundless voice, or the voice ofsilence) and comprehend it, he has to learn to nature of Dharana (intense andperfect concentration of the Mind upon some one interior object, accompanied bycomplete abstraction from everything pertaining to the external universe, or theworld of the senses).

    Having become indifferent to objects of perception the pupil must seek out theRaja of the senses, the through-producer, he who awakes illusion.

    The Mind is the great slayer of the Real.

    Let the Disciple slay the Slayer.

    For when to himself his form appears unreal, as do on waking all the forms hesees in dreams; when he has ceased to hear the many, he may discern the One theinner sound which kills the outer.

    Then only, not till then, shall he forsake the region of Asat, the false, tocome unto the realm of Sat, the true.

    Before the Soul can see, the harmony within must be attained, and fleshy eyes berendered blind to tall illusion. Before the Soul can hear, the image (Man) has tobecome as deaf to roarings as to whispers, to cries of bellowing elephants as tothe silvery buzzing of the golden fire-fly.

    Before the Soul can comprehend and may remember, she must unto the SilentSpeaker be united, just as the form to which the clay is modeled is first unitedwith the potter's mind.

    For then the Soul will hear, and will remember.

    And then to the inner ear will speak THE VOICE OF SILENCE.

    UNIVERSAL GREAT BROTHERHOOD TUESDAY 12th, FEBRUARY '52

    AQUARIAN MISSION PERTH SECTION. Page 2. LESSON: MISS P. NAGEL.The Charts illustrated above pertain to the lesson delivered by Mian Nagel for

    the benefit and education of those persons interested in understanding Man'srelationship to the Universe. An endeavor to give Man a better understanding ofhimself, and consequently his fellow beings the purpose of the establishment ofthe AQUARIAN MISSION, the public vehicle f the UNIVERSAL GREAT BROTHERHOOD.

    Tonight I want to talk about the relationship between the Individual and theUniversal and how we are really one although we don't know it. Being clothed in theflesh we have forgotten our high calling, and have lost sight of our UniversalSelf. Like the Son who sent into the far country and left his Father's House wehave to come back and link ourselves with the Universal. The trend of our thoughtsis:

    'I will arise and go unto my Father'.

    There are quire a number of roads, and we can go back and find union with theGreat All. United with the Great All means united with All Things. Not only is thewhole Human Race one Brotherhood, but also the animal kingdom. They are our youngerbrothers on the Path it is just that we are ahead of them. The same with theplants and minerals. THE MANYFOLD MANIFESTATION.

    In our study of the relationship of the Universal with the Individual we findour study of ASTRONOMY the Great Universe which appears to be very far away.

    Astronomy is a mighty Science which is very exact for we can predict from thisScience. Astronomers tell us that the Stars which we see are mighty Suns, like ourown Sun.

    Our own Solar System has a space, a little room in this mighty Space where itrevolves by itself. Our Sun thus has its own little space and is surrounded by itsPlanets in their own orbits. None of the Stars are anywhere near the place wherethe Solar System is Living, and moving and having its being. Literally, we Live,

    Move and Have Our Begin In the Sun. It is the source of all our Life. Without itthis Planet could not give Life.

    In actual fact there is nothing static in the Universe. The whole of creation ismoving so that the Sun is moving also, and although we image the Sun is moving in astraight line, it is moving in a curve. There is no such thing in the movement ofthe Sun as as straight line. The Movement of the Earth is spiral and we presume themovement of the Sun is also a spiral.

    So we have the movement of the atom itself,. The atom has 7 fold movement,probably more, but 7 directions in which the force of the atom is going. Thisuniverse of ours in like a mighty atom.

    As above, so below. Everything is a matter of vibration.

    THE PLANETS PLACES: (Refer Chart on previous page). The four Terrestrial Planets(those which are nearest our Earth and can be seen with the naked eye) are Mercury,Venus and Mars. Mercury is 36,000,000 miles away, Venus 67,000,000 miles, the Earth(from the Sun) 93,000,000 miles and Mars 141,000,000 miles. This gives the studentjust a faint perception of the magnitude we refer to as space and shows also howevery planet swings in its own orbit. It also gives an idea of the plan of theuniverse.

    The Major Planets, Jupiter 483,000,000, Saturn 886,000,000, Uranus, Neptune andPluto have their positions in unlimited space, the last mentioned only beingobservable with the aid of a telescope. With all this tremendous space thoseplanets are all clinging to our Sun. All have an influence one upon the other andall belong to what we call our Solar System. We live in this space and nothing elseentered(?) upon us.

    CONSTELLATIONS: Away beyond this system are the great Constellations of Starts. TheConstellations which interest us are 12 because they form the Elliptic. They aregiven the names of animals and referred to as the Zodiac. The reason of this isthat the ancient who formulated this wisdom for men's benefit likened the shapes ofthe constellations to animal forms. They called it the animal round, the name forwhich is Zodiac. These twelve are: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo Virgo, Libra,Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces.

    UNIVERSAL GREAT BROTHERHOOD TUESDAY 12th, FEBRUARY '52

    AQUARIAN MISSION PERTH SECTION. Page 3. LESSON: MISS P. NAGEL.

    We are also concerned with the Planets referred to under heading Planets Placesas they rule these Constellations. Their time of movement, to make the completecircle of the Zodiac is as follows:

  • 7/28/2019 02 The Magic of Wisdom [61-115][18] 4-12 Feb 1952

    11/18

    Mercury 88 days Saturn 29 yrs, 7 months

    Venus 224 days Uranus 84 yrs

    Mars 687 days Neptune 164 yrs

    Jupiter 11.5 yrs Pluto 248 yrs

    (Note the combined time of movement for Uranus and Neptune equals the

    movement of Pluto).

    These Stars influence us and because of these influences or effects we have thestudy of ASTROLOGY. Astronomy is the framework Astrology is the effect. Just aswe have the study of the mind, and then the effects.

    When we think and Realize that we are one with the GREAT ALL, the UNIVERSAL, thenit become the normal thing for us to think of ourselves as important. If there isanything important, then we are important too because we belong to the Great All.This relationship can be seen when we understand that different signs give usdifferent influences. For instance when the influence of Aries (Ram) is being feltit gives the fighting force of the Ram. Mars has the same effect therefore thePlanet Mars is the ruler or Regent of the Constellation Aries. Taurus represented

    by the Bull gives us steadiness, stability. Venus is the ruler because sherepresents beauty.

    All signs give an influence and it is according to the Sign in which the Sun isthat the corresponding influence is being felt upon the Earth.

    Whenever there is a switch over of anything at all there is always disturbance ofsome kind. So where ever we have change we have turmoil. This is borne out in thelittle things of Life, and as an example elementary but relative, the make clear toyou what is meant, you can observe this disturbance for yourself in such anincident as the exit from a vehicle by a number of people, and the endeavor byanother number to enter the same vehicle a public bus for instance until thechange over is finalized there is a disturbance.

    So it is with the change of the Age. There have seen ages upon Ages and we havenamed some of these. The Bible quotes Jesus as having said Behold I am with youalways, even onto the end of the Age.

    NUTATION OF THE EARTH: The movement of the Earth is such that as it turns itnutates, which means that the pole swings slightly out of direction in which it waspointing (as a spinning top running down Refer to the Chart above). To make onenutation, to swing round upon itself once, it takes 25,920 years. During Nutationthe North Pole changes its direction and is receiving magnetic influences which aredifferent which gives us THE COMMENCEMENT OF AN AGE, so we refer to the Epoch ofthe Earth according to the direction in which the nutation has placed it.

    Every 72 years the Earth moves 1 degree, so it takes a matter of 2,000 years tomove across a sign, because each sign is 1/12th of the circle or Zodiac. We haverecords of these ages that have past.

    The Sun entered Pisces at the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. Thus the symbol of theFish in the Christian Teaching.

    The Sun in Aries gave the Epoch of the Lamb (Moses back from Sinai says Warshipno more the Golden Calf. Thus the Sacrifice of the Lamb).

    The Sun in Taurus gave the Epoch of the Bull (Assyria the Flying Bull; Egypt

  • 7/28/2019 02 The Magic of Wisdom [61-115][18] 4-12 Feb 1952

    12/18

    the Apis, Sacred Bull of Memphis).

    The Sun in Gemini gave the Epoch of Adam & Eve (The Twins).

    We are now moving into the Age of Aquarius the Water Carrier (When the Sign ofthe Son of Men shall be seen in the sky), and we are therefore receiving theinfluences of this Age. The Actual date of entry , when the Sun entered the Sign ofAquarius was 21 March, 1948.

    This Age is to be a rather wonderful Age because it is the combination of thePositive and Negative, represented by the two lines thus,

    During the Negative Ages we find that our link with the Universal is hidden orclosed down. We have to remain closed as the great teachings become hidden orsecret. In the positive age the teachings are made known again and so we open out.We are now moving into the Age where the secret teachings are to be again revealed

    to Mankind.

    At the beginning of the New Age there is always stress, se we can expect turmoil,but some of us shall live to see the straightening out the direction. Is is goingto bring a time when that which we have longed to know will be taught us a GoldenAge when we shall reach a great understanding which will last for 2,000 years.

    We have a tremendous part to play, a tremendous work to do so that the door whichis being opened will remain open, and will not close upon us.

    CHANGES: The magnetic center has moved from north to south. From Tibet in the Northto the Southern Hemisphere. The Magnetic center is to be in the South so we are

    privileged to be in the Southern Hemisphere.

    It has already started and the Aquarian Mission is one of the visible signs ofthe teaching that is being spread abroad at present. We are trying to understand.

    Our ideals are Brotherhood of All Things. PEACE because Peace must come. If weare going to continue at war with ourselves we are going to continue at war withour brothers.

    The Mission is an endeavor to understand. Not to change what we have learnt, notnecessarily to learn anything, but only to try and understand. Past teachings give

    us an inkling of the Truth.

    We must be done with intolerance and have a tolerance of the other man. Everyhuman being has a right to believe what he wishes or to have his own opinion. Foryour contemplation we give you this little example.

    There were four blind men standing on the roadside as an elephant approached. Itstopped near them and upon being told of this proximity each man was asked to givehis idea of what the elephant appeared to be.

  • 7/28/2019 02 The Magic of Wisdom [61-115][18] 4-12 Feb 1952

    13/18

    The first Man felt the side of the elephant and said, It is like a house.

    The second Man felt the leg of the elephant and said, It is like a tree.

    The third Man felt the trunk of the elephant and said, It is like a snake.

    The fourth Man felt the tail of the elephant and said, It is like a cord.

    So you see each Man had his own conception which was logical none had all the

    truth but each has a part. So it is with us.

    As St. Paul (1st Corinthians, Chap 13 said).

    For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

    But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be doneway.

    When I was a child I spake as a child, I understood as a child, but when I becamea man I put away childish things.

    For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know inpart; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

    NOTES ON COMMENTARY BY OUR LEADER DR. S.R. De La FERRIERE

    At the conclusion of the lesson given by Miss Nagel (Refer to the previous pages)Dr. de la Ferriere addressed the Students of the Aquarian Mission Perth Section.As usual all were eager to hear and we record as under, to the best of our abilityhis address.

    Yes I know the first question is to have the Peace and Understanding, to haveSpiritual Evolution. Why must we learn Astrology and have all this intellectualstudy?

    To understand each other we must know the opinion and the conception of theother. The Christian says it is not necessary for us to have this knowledge, wedon't need it, we have Christ. He has saved us. You know that before Jesus ofNazareth there existed 3, 4, 5 or 6 before Himself. Civilizations long before theiradvent of Jesus of Nazareth held conceptions of heir own particular Christ, thestory of whose birth was similar to that of Jesus of Nazareth born of a VirginMother and whose father was a carpenter. A civilization 25,000 years before Jesusof Nazareth the Mayas-Quiches also had this belief.

    But this is not the time to explain why and when. I just want to call yourattention to the fact that what we have and consider as something very special the only Truth the only conception to be saved exists in other religions also.

    I always say the same. There exists today 300 different religions or religioussects. Each one has a part of the Truth. As Miss Nagel explained in her lessonabout each bind Man having a different conception of what the feel of the elephantrepresented to himself. Each Man was right, each had a part of the Truth, no manhad the whole Truth.

    We have to understand one another, and it is very hard because we have differentlanguages.

    You know what I tell you always abou the Bible. The incorrect translation. Forexample when Christ was on the Coss on the fifth hour He called out Elie, Elie,Lame Sabaohtani which has been translated as God, God, why hast Thou forsaken

    me. Actually that is an incorrect translation for the Bible was written originallyin Hebrew and the correct interpretation is God, God, how thou hast Glorified Me.

    So we have to understand only the story of the Christian teaching. Today we have35 different sects of Christianity, each claiming to be the only one with theTruth. So we have to understand one another, and it can be very hard because of thedifferent languages. Then why don't we use symbols?

    For example and in English

    und in German

    et in French

    y in SpanishThis symbol & conveys the same meaning to each.

    Actually the same symbol has the same meaning in each language. It is the samewith the sign (shown above what symbol is this?). They are universal symbols. Itis the same with Astrology. Every symbol has a Universal meaning irrespective ofrace and language.

    For example again, the symbol (above) is the same as the color yellow. That is,the number of the vibration of the planet Saturn is exactly the vibration of thecolor yellow, the same vibration as the Note C in music.

    It does not mean that we have to create new symbols. There exists archi-ometry,arohi meaning all and ometry meaning Synthesis (All Synthesis). If we can comeon this vulgarization of archi-ometry it gives us real understanding. Of course tocome on this synthesis we must start from the beginning. It means that Astrology is

    not the whole expression of Truth, only a step.

    NOTES ON COMMENTARY BY OUR LEADER DR. S.R. De La FERRIERE PAGE 3.

    We realize that the 7 Planets react on the 7 Glands in the body. The vibration

    from each gland that we have is exactly in the same vibration as each Planet. It isfor that reason that the study of ASTROLOGY (ESOTERIC) gives a realization of thepredisposition of the people. For example a person suffering from kidney trouble issubject to the inharmonic vibration of Saturn as the kidneys are in the samevibration as the Planet Saturn. We can cure people by this understanding of thevibrational relationship of the glands with the Planets and by working with theendocrine glands.

    For that we start work Hatha-Yoga, which is the physical part of Yoga. Hatha-Yogais not only exercise to keep the body in good health but is a psychologicalexercise.

    So if we can keep the right vibration between the Planet and Glands we are ingood health. It means we actually have to make the contact.

    Just because we have a body doesn't mean we have made the contact. If you havethe radio and you turn it on because you want to hear the music, you still have tomake the contact after you have turned on the switch. You have to dial until youmake the contact. So when people say they have made the contact it means they haveopened their minds. They have made the same vibration and that is YOGA.

    The Gurus (teachers) have studied each position and because everything isvibration, each movement that we do makes a canalization of the fluid and this putsus in contact with the GREAT ALL and then we don't have only 25,920 respirations,72 pulsations. We are not only in contact mechanically.

    If we really make some discipline between the Great All and the Little Universe(ourselves) we make UNION YOG YOGA IDENTIFICATION.

    Yoga is not a cult, not a religion. It is only an understanding, a balance.Archiometry on one side, Yoga on the other. As the sign of Aquarius is representedby the symbol (above) one line represents Science and the other Religion.

    Science today is becoming mere philosophical, and philosophy is becoming moreScientific. Also today women are more in the public life than before. The enjoymore privileges that in the Age gone past. It is the combination of the positiveand negative, symbolizing the New Age. How can we have the Light except bycombination of the two polarities, positive and negative? How can we haveunderstanding except by this combination?

    + Positive represents the details of Science

    - Negative represents the subjectivity, the philosophy of religion

    We need these two forces and as long as we don't realize this we don't have thePeace. Now we begin to realize the Way. We are just commencing the New Age, we needpeople who have dispensed with dogma, people who have the realization, who will bethe vanguard of the New Age. And it is for this that the School of Initiation triesto give different kinds of methods, different kinds of systems without being onlyin one way.

    You don't have to study. Just take what you like. You always take something. Thetruth is everywhere. It cannot only be in one place. The Bible is a GreatRevelation, but it is not enough for everyone.

    Remember this that Jesus of Nazareth Sermon on the Mount is exactly the same asthe sermon given by Gautama Buddha 600 years before, the same as Sri Krishna 2,000years before.

    Each Human Being has a different understanding, a different comprehension. Forthat we have Science, Religion, Art, Philosophy and so on.

    Study just for preparation. Then later we can make a synthesis.

    There shall come a day when the Scientist, the Philosopher and Religion allshall speak the same language.

    PEACE WITH YOU.

    NOTES ON LESSION GIVEN BY MISS NAGEL.

    Last Tuesday the Doctor was mentioning the Union between the Macrocosm and theMicrocosm, and he referred to the breaths, respirations which we take totaling25,920 this number being the same as the number of years for one nutation of theearth, and he also mentioned the 72 pulse beats of the human being every minutewhich is the same number as the number of years which it takes for the axis toswing in one degree around the circle Zodiac.

    There are quite a number of other parallels in the Macrocosm and the Microcosm.For instance I suppose the most striking one is the atom which we also mentionedlast week. No matter how big or how small it always takes on the atomic structure,the central sun around which float its number of satellites. There are quite anumber of parallels between the two so there seems to be quire a good reason forsaying As above so below. In fact we are beginning to realize it is Truth in allthings. The reason that we don't realize the Truth completely is just because wehaven't acquired sufficient knowledge. We haven't widened out understanding enough.The research is to see if we can find just how we are linked with the GreatUniversal. Not only to believe and to understand, but to make it part of ourselves.Not to be just a separate unit, but to be part of the GREAT ALL.

    So I wish to discuss further tonight the Gates of the Body which are the CHAKRAS the doors which are the entrance whereby our ??? bodies can make contact with ourphysical body. We know definitely that we are composed of solid, liquid and gas,and we also know that the Ethers are there as well forming part of our physicalbody. When a person goes on to an operating table he is given an anesthetic. Theether of the body is driven out and he losses consciousness. With the return of theether he regains consciousness. The etheric body is closely linked with thephysical body, and is actually a physical thing.

    Then we have the Emotions feeling which are a body ??? still and are invisibleto the average human being. We are actually invisible, the reality of us because weare clothed in the flesh.

    Then we have our Mental Body wherein works the Mind, the physical link for whichis the brain. The Mind is a far greater thing than the brain, for the mind containsthe universe and the brain is just a physical organ. For example when we see theSun in our Heavens we actually see it in our mind. That is not the brain. The wholeuniverse is contain in the mind. So everything is in our mind.

    These tenuous bodies which we use belong to us, are part of us, are more fluidic.More in link with the Great All. Astral Body is more in contact with the whole ofthe Astral plane than the Physical Body with the Physical plane. The link with theMental Body is nearer still so close we are beginning to understand, to be atone, and once we reach the mental consciousness we are all one, all united.

    The Astral Body is nearest to the Physical Body but still linked with the GreatUniversal.

    METHOD BY WHICH WE ARE LINKED: We are really linked with our bodies by the Chakraswhich are the doors whereby we become one. It is simply a matter of vibration. Thedenser the body the slower the vibration. The More rapid the body the more rapidthe vibration.

    We deal with the 7 Chakras because they are the ones which influence usphysically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Their location is on the spinethough not in the actual physical sense, their real location being the FluidicColumn know as Sushumana to which I will refer later.

    The Chakras are linked with our endocrine centers and we are in reality ourglands. Doctors today are realizing and saying that we are our glands, which isproven by the fact that is these glands function correctly we are well, if not thenwe are ill. So we are indeed our glands. They are far more important than thisgarment of flesh that we wear.

    CHAKRAS IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE BODIES: The physical body is governed by the twolower Chakras MULADHARA and SVADHISTHANA.

    The higher bodies emotion and mind are governed by ANAHATA and VISHUDDHA,

    whilst the spiritual body is linked with AGNA and SAHASRARA Chakras.

    The people who have studied the Chakras from time immemorial have realized thatthey are in vibratory accord with certain things, certain elements. If we acceptthis fact or not does not matter. If we don't accept actually, we can acceptsymbolically.

    For instance the Chakras 1-4 are in vibratory accord with the four elements.MULADHARA Earth. SVADHISTHANA Water, MANIPURA Fire, ANAHATA Air. (Refer tolesson on 18h January for Chart depicting Chakras in their relationship to Man).Muladhara and Svadhishana represent the foundation of our physical body, and theelements they symbolize, namely Earth and Water are also the foundation of tourphysical world, showing again the parallel between the Macrocosm and the Microcosm.

    Manipura at the Solar Plexus reaching upward is very important, whilst Anahatais the fusion of the upward and downward. Note the symbols:

    When we are reaching upward we draw upward in every direction. I will lift upmine eyes unto the hills. Will draw all men up to me.

    When we are reaching downwards we draw downward in every direction.

    The Tenuous Viccudha Thyroid is reaching well up into the emotional plane.Straight is the gate, narrow is the way, few there be who find it.
