In this article we will discuss the 7 bodies of our microcosm that we need to develop in order
to accomplish our spiritual development and attain our
spiritual awakening.
When life emerges from its Divine origin, it carries within, as if in a latent state,
all the qualities and powers of Divine perfection. Life is capable of using matter
and energy for its expression. In most cases we are capable to perceive only the external
forms through which life manifests
and gradually perfects itself. By using this visible form, life is developing all its possibilities.
We know that in the past there have been many forms through which our life developed. They were
emerging, and then, they were dying and disappearing, but our life has been constantly growing towards
perfection. The Divine has no limitations in its development. God is everything.
Perfecting our spirituality through the seven bodies
We are unable to grasp the meaning of the word "perfection", but we can experience
it, or learn to know it by heart when our inner development enables it. The life we see
around us has originated from the Divine source, according to God's Will, and it will return
to It when all its potential has been developed.
Walking this endless road of perfection, and looking around with our human eyes, we can
define God as emptiness, quantum vacuum, etc., and all this will be correct. But when we
reach the very Source, we will know that this emptiness is actually a fullness of Divine
love of the Sweet Will of God. The Lord once said: "I am who I am".
Our Solar System is the stage of Divine manifestation. It is sevenfold by its construction.
It can be manifested on the physical, etheric, astral, mental, Psychic, Transcendental and Divine planes.
Our seven bodies can be divided into two groups: lower and higher bodies.
The first four belong to the lower planes:
- physical body
- etheric body
- astral body
- mental body
The next three are our higher bodies:
- Psychic body or Manas
- Transcendental body, or Buddhi
- and Divine body or Atma
On each of these planes, we possess no more then one body of consciousness. One Sun Ray
representing our Divine Spirit manifests its nature by passing through these seven vehicles.
The seven bodies appear as if strung on a light ray, or a light tube, and the Sun Ray is what
keeps them centered and together.
No individual body should be able to separate itself or
willingly exist by itself. All of them should function in a unity and as a whole, gradually
becoming conscious and capable of serving the Divine Spirit on all of these levels of existence.
This is how life penetrates deeper into matter unfolding its potential, only to start ascending
and eventually return to the Logos at a future stage.
Of all the visible creations on our planet Earth, only people possess individual Soul, and
along with it an open possibility of using their intellectual capacity in its fullness.
With the animals, their mental manifestation is limited, but their feelings are quite developed.
They have a collective Soul grouped within each of the animal species.
The plant world
can sense the changes in its environment to a certain extent, but it has poorly developed
feelings.
The mineral kingdom is not capable of sensing its surroundings; it is limited to
feeling only its inner connectivity and its own crystal structure.
We can make things accelerate somewhat, but we cannot skip over anything. Our personality will gradualy
be transfigured and cleansed, and the process of spiritual
alchemy will begin. Spiritual alchemy means transforming darkness into light and flaws into
virtues.
To attain Divine attributes is the ultimate aim of all humanity and simultaneously
the end of the game called spiritual development on planet Earth. By developing our
seven bodies we will fulfill our mission to develop our consciousness from the physical to the
Divine.
