Besides the physical body, human possess a couple of invisible, but no less important vehicles whose immanent qualities enable the manifestation of human soul in the world of forms, and prepare the individual so that she/he might eventually, at the end of this phase of evolution, return to Father-Mother God.
The energy centers - chakras - together with the 72000 nadis are part of the etheric body. They are in close connection with the physical body, as well as with the other more subtle vehicles (take a look at the human microcosm diagram).
The most fundamental chakras are distributed on seven levels. When we talk about these levels (and the corresponding chakras), it is important to realize that the very same energy vibrates on all of those levels. This means that we deal with various manifestations of this energy. So, it is through these different qualities, expressions and transformations that we can perceive the same energy.
For example, the energy of the crown chakra, expresses the quality of spiritual experience.
On the emotional level (hearth chakra), the very same energy carries the quality of love.
On the physical level, its quality is sex (sacral chakra).
Finally, matter is this energy's least perfect manifestation, thus, on the lowest material level, this energy transforms into ignorance.
Working with the chakras has its goal in the awakening of the so-called "snake power" or kundalini energy, which leads to spiritual self-realization. This creative energy rises up the spinal cord, awakening the chakras from their dormant state of existence as it passes through.
Each energy center is connected to a certain area in our brain, with the effect that not only the chakras are put into action, but also the adequate latent brain areas.
When, according to the eastern terminology, the snake power or kundalini energy finds its way up to the crown chakra, the experience of enlightenment takes place. We have become at One with God. After the enlightenment, we are going to be able to utilize more fully our brain, our knowledge will increase, our powers are going to get stronger, we will be more conscious of our life here and now.
The expanded consciousness enables us more detailed perception of everything on every level. Having gotten closer to the Truth, we see things as they are, we see them clearly with penetrating though, freely and perfectly. Being One with God, in God's Heart, and the infinite persistent omnipresent Divine Love, make us a lover of everything present on Earth, beyond Earth and within Earth. Our love is forgiving, understanding, gentle and efficient for us and others. The whole humanity is our fellow. There is no loner age, time and also matter, the roughest manifestation of the one energy, is no longer there. What is left is the infinite omnipresent Divine Love.
Of course, one question is left unanswered, that is, how to initiate the energy of enlightenment and make it rise to the seventh chakra. Various schools or individuals have written countless pages on that subject alone, but only a handful of them have ever enlightened themselves. The enlightenment is no easy task, but nowadays it is available and possible for those who sincerely want it. A little practice is more valuable than tons of literature on the subject. What should be done? First and foremost, one shoud increase one's faith in God, expand one's love toward God, and for support you are wellcome to apply to our spiritual workshop.
