4th January 2018 WE ARE NOT DESCENDEND FROM MONKEY! FINALLY THE SUBTLE BODIES WERE DISCOVERED! Claudia Blass [email protected] This paper it is an extract (parts of it) from the book entitled: Visibility of the Subtle Bodies of Beings with subtitle: Visibility of the Subtle Bodies of the Human Being, Create Space Publisher, 2014, pp: 5-6,20-21,22,25,27,29-30, 31-33,36,40-44,48-49,51-53,55-58,60,62,64,66,70-73,96-97,104-105. Abstract: Over the years, it is said that we are descended from monkey. This theory it means that we are not created by the Creator (God) and what it’s written in the Bible - Genesis 1:26 that God made them mankind “in our image, in our likeness” it’s a lie and it’s not available for us, as human beings. So, also it means that we take off the Creator. If we was created by God it means that we are deeply spiritual beings. So, this discover of the subtle bodies it’s a strong proof that we are created by God and we aren’t descended from monkey! In this paper, it can be observed that the humans beings has many subtle bodies while the animals has only two. The human beings as beings are superior then animals which are inferior beings. For realize this few images, I made hundreds of images to capture the subtle bodies, special for the subtle bodies as: mental, causal, conscience and soul. The device I use a digital camera Sony DSC-W50 Cyber-shot 6.0 megapixels and no photos used were altered in editing and processing program. The all images are real. Key words: subtle bodies, discovered the subtle bodies, astral body, etheric and mental body, causal body, viewing the subtle bodies, spiritual beings, human beings, planet Earth, physical body, energetic body, the body of soul. 1 4th January 2018 INTRODUCTION This work is intended to be a leap forward in this highly sensitive area, which until now has been addressed and examined on all sides, but only theoretically; it is about the other bodies of the human being. As Marius Simion mentions in an article on www.nlpmania.ro regarding the mystery of several subtle bodies, there exist “the physical body and four more bodies which science has never officially discovered”. Therefore, it is appropriate to look empirically at the workings of the unknown, even if some of us cannot accept but also not deny our existence beyond death. The physical human body is one of the most complex bodies of beings on the whole planet, and it must be recognized that not much is known about it, insufficient for the complete satisfaction of a deep understanding of the human being. The Earth is energy; energy that every living being assimilates. Water is energy, and Air and Fire are from the same living energy system without which we could not live, hence the conclusion that the human being is also of the same living energy. It is said that “man descended from monkey.” I believe 100% that we are not descended from monkey because we are spiritual beings and very special. As we can observe in this paper, the animals they don't have so many subtle bodies as human beings has! The Earth has in its structure, at the poles, a lot of energy which enters through the North Pole, goes through the planet and out through the South Pole. If you were to judge a human being by appearances, his height would be calculated from crown to toes. If you raise your hands above your head, the situation is a little different; this is not your proper height, but the energy enters through the two extremities of the human body through the hands and feet. This could be an explanation for the more prominent visibility of the etheric and astral bodies presented in this paper, and of the visibility of the other subtle bodies following the astral. Therefore, we are dealing with an abundance of energy entering through the hands, the tools that are used daily to clean the body, to prepare food and to nourish the physical body in its various daily activities; also, the hands are used to energize the physical body through practical situations such as comforting (comforting an old man, a child, an animal, etc.), caressing, reassurance (to reassure the soul of a man or animal or a bird in suffering, even a tree whose branches have been cut too much through lack of knowledge rather than 2 4th January 2018 need etc.), endearment and many others. In achieving our principal goal, the supreme aim, to evolve spiritually, treating our neighbors well is very important, with much kindness if this thing is to offer them comfort and peace of mind. 1.3. THE ETHERIC BODY The etheric or energetic, vital or bioenergetic body is the first vital subtle body, which is permanently located outside the body yet somewhat intertwined, being molded to the physical body, and is the energy matrix of the anatomical body. This takes energy from nature and space, and then channels it into the physical body, giving it energy and life force. Its presence, as a layer covering the physical body, can be seen as an aura with a white-grey color, clear or aqueous depending on visibility conditions, which vibrates with the movements of the physical body. The Earth, in all her splendor, is a huge, inexhaustible source of energy. The human energy flow is thus rekindled by the subtle etheric body and the person feels good, refreshed, full of vitality and health. The wellbeing which we all feel is due to the etheric body, because this captures energy at the speed of light and transmits it instantaneously at that speed to the human body. Thus, the first subtle “cloak” of the physical body, namely the etheric body, takes energy created from the clean air or from the pleasant atmosphere in the place where we spend time with family or friends and at this speed (that of light), transmits all the energy to the solid being. Moreover, the subtle body stores this energy for a certain period of time while continuing to transmit it to the physical body. As a result some of us are more disconnected from everyday problems and worries than others. It is not important how long we stay on the mountain or by the sea, but how disconnected we are when we receive the energy. Thus, when we arrive at our chosen destination, we should leave our worries and stress at the entrance of the house where we live or somewhere outside of town and just admire nature with our whole being for unlimited periods of time; energy for the entire physical body through the subtle and wonderful etheric body, showing us that it is the best “brother” of our physical body. 1.3.1. The etheric body in plants and flowers Below are some examples in which nature shows us the subtle body. For the 3 4th January 2018 first examples, we take plants: the clover (mentioned above), an ornamental plant (Bougainvillea spectabilis) and a plum tree (Prunus domestica) respectively. Clover (Trifolium) belongs to the family Fabaceae and is shown in three phases, in order to accurately observe the etheric subtle energy of plants. This is how the etheric body appears in Trifolium: Figure 6. Trifolium with four leaves on whose edges can be observed the etheric body (marked with arrows). 4 4th January 2018 Figure 7. Plant with etheric subtle body on some leaves. On closer observation, the shadow of the physical body is reflected on the inner wall of the flowerpot, including the shadow of the etheric body. A second plant called Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea spectabilis) originally comes from South America and is prevalent in Brazil, Peru and Argentina. This ornamental plant can display shades of red, purple, yellow, orange or purple and it is called the "paper flower". Other examples: As can be seen, the etheric body takes the form of the physical body across the entire leaf complete with the stalk, and it also has a light shade of green. Figure 8. Bougainvillea spectabilis – etheric subtle energy on each leaf, according to its position, size and form. 5 4th January 2018 Other examples of the etheric subtle body of a plum tree (Prunus domestica) of the Rosaceae family: Figure 9. Leaves with etheric subtle energy. Figure 13. Other leaves of the plum tree Prunus domestica, wet with water, the etheral body of which can be seen with drops breaking through its structure. 1.3.3. The etheric body of birds The same stratum of etheric body also exists in birds. Below are presented 6 4th January 2018 images of a parrot (Melopsittacus undulatus) incooperating the etheric body. Figure 16. Two bodies: physical and subtle etheric in a parrot (Melopsittacus undulatus). 1.3.4. The etheric body of animals A cat was taken as a model to present this body, to be precise, a young kitten about a year old, and in the next image we can see the manifestation of the vital plane. The etheric body is more pronounced around the ears than the rest of the body because the cat's fur is not flat, and although the fur is thick, the etheric body is less visible. Figure 18. Etheric body (marked with arrow) shown on the ear of a cat. 7 4th January 2018 1.3.5. The etheric body of the human being The human being has a subtle body layer just as plants, flowers, birds and animals do, naturally taking the form of the physical body, and depending on the light, this appears in a grey colorless or aqueous hue, imitating the color of the skin.

INTRODUCTION For centuries, traditional healers worldwide have practiced methods of energy healing, viewing the body as a complex energy system with energy flowing through or over its surface (Rakel, 2007). Until recently, the Western world largely ignored the Eastern interpretation of humans as energy beings. However, times have changed dramatically and an exciting and promising new branch of academic inquiry and clinical research is opening in the area of energy healing (Oschman, 2000; Trivieri & Anderson, 2002). Scientists and energy therapists around the world have made discoveries that will forever alter our picture of human energetics. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is conducting research in areas such as energy healing and prayer, and major U.S. academic institutions are conducting large clinical trials in these areas. Approaches in exploring the concepts of life force and healing energy that previously appeared to compete or conflict have now been found to support each other.

    The Seven Sacred Bodies - Terms Excerpted from the Glossary of Empowerment

    The Corpus Christi - science of the rainbow body The Seven Sacred Bodies - terms excerpted from the Glossary of Empowerment By Richard Rudd The Corpus Christi — One of the journeys making up the Gene Keys Synthesis, the Corpus Christi is the complete science of the ‘Rainbow Body’ — the true underlying nature of all human beings. The Corpus Christi is a synthesis of transmissions, teachings and techniques that underpins the 64 Gene Keys. Representing the higher ‘Mystery School’ teachings of the Gene Keys, it includes the teaching of the Seven Seals, the Seven Sacred Bodies and the Nine Initiations. Deep immersion in the teachings of the Corpus Christi assists you in grounding and embodying the higher frequencies of light into your everyday life. These are the teachings and techniques that allow you to draw the transmission of the Gene Keys layer by layer into the subtle bodies that make up your aura. Literally meaning ‘The Body of Christ’, the Corpus Christi prepares you to work with higher evolutionary frequencies by progressively purifying the many dimensions of your inner being, beginning with your physical body. The 1st Sacred Body - The Physical/Etheric Body Etheric Body — Sometimes known as the ‘etheric double’, the etheric body is the counterpart of your physical body, extending out beyond it into the aura. As the closest of the subtle bodies to the physical, the etheric body is quite well understood by many cultures, in particular in its relationship to our physical health. Systems such as acupuncture or energy medicine work directly on the etheric body, which consists of a vast network of subtle pathways, meridians or ‘nadis’, which create the fundamental grid of the aura.

    The Texts of Alice A. Bailey: an Inquiry Into the Role of Esotericism in Transforming Consciousness

    THE TEXTS OF ALICE A. BAILEY: AN INQUIRY INTO THE ROLE OF ESOTERICISM IN TRANSFORMING CONSCIOUSNESS I Wightman Doctor of Philosophy 2006 University of Western Sydney. IN APPRECIATION This thesis would not have been possible without the care, support, enthusiasm and intellectual guidance of my supervisor, Dr Lesley Kuhn, who has followed my research journey with dedicated interest throughout. I also acknowledge the loving kindness of Viveen at Sydney Goodwill, who has continuously praised and encouraged my work, and provided me with background material on the kind of activities that the worldwide community of Alice A. Bailey students are involved in. I sincerely appreciate the role my husband, Greg, played, as my cosmic co-traveller. Without him this thesis would never have materialized, his tireless engagement throughout these years has bolstered my drive to proceed to the very end. Finally, I acknowledge my children, Victoria and Elizabeth, for tolerating my reclusive behaviour, and giving me the space I have needed to write. Philosophy, in one of its functions, is the critic of cosmologies. It is its function to harmonise, refashion, and justify divergent intuitions as to the nature of things. It has to insist on the scrutiny of ultimate ideas, and on the retention of the whole of the evidence in shaping our cosmological scheme. Its business is to render explicit, and –so far as may be – efficient, a process which otherwise is unconsciously performed without rational tests (Alfred North Whitehead 1938:7).

  • Insights from the Theory of Pancha Kosha (Five Sheaths of Consciousness)

    Insights from the Theory of Pancha Kosha (Five Sheaths of Consciousness)

    THE LEVELS OF HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS AND CREATIVE FUNCTIONING: INSIGHTS FROM THE THEORY OF PANCHA KOSHA (FIVE SHEATHS OF CONSCIOUSNESS) Maharaj K. Raina, Ph.D. Woodland, CA ABSTRACT: Various cosmological positions have shaped beliefs about the character of creativity. From the Indian tradition, have emerged multi-level cosmological models that provide structural frameworks to understand the relationship between consciousness and creativity. Among them is pancha kosha (from Sanskrit –pancha means five, kosha sheath) encompassing five bodies (koshas) of consciousness: Annamaya (food body/physical body), Pranamaya (vital sheath/prana/ life force), Manomaya (the emotional body/mind), Vijnanamaya (cognition/ intellect/wisdom), and Anandamaya (bliss), considered the ‘‘most useful springboard for a modern scientific understanding of cosmology and evolution’’ (Goswami, 2000, p. 114). This article explains the theory and the attributes of various sheaths; draws implications related to human creativity’s nature and emergence; examines the role of ‘‘phenomenal awareness’’ (Rao & Paranjpe, 2016, p. 113), blissfulness (ananda), ‘‘extension of borders’’ and the ‘‘extension of persona’’ (Mahapatra, 2009, p. 72) in the manifestation of creativity; documents the role of such a state of consciousness in some exceptionally creative individuals’ lives, and discusses implications for broader understanding of experiential sources of creativity and consciousness. KEYWORDS: Cosmology, pancha kosha theory, levels of consciousness, transpersonal creativity, bliss (ananda), illumined perception, transcendence, concentration and commitment Every traditional human society known to anthropology has a cosmology (Abrams & Primack, 2001), and some cosmologies conceived the human being as a part of a ‘‘great chain’’ or a ‘‘great nest of being’’ of interpenetrating layers—material, mental and spiritual in nature, and as the nexus or crossing point between the world of matter and the world of Spirit, being comprised of both (Smith, 1958, 1992).

Box 270, Wheaton, Illinois 60189-0270 PREFACE THE PILGRIM AND THE PATH: LIVING THEOSOPHY Theosophy tells us that we are pilgrims, implying that we are on a journey to a particular place. If we decide that we are indeed pilgrims and start to look for the path that will take us to the goal of our pilgrimage, we should also have some idea of why we are traveling and where we are headed. To begin a process of self-unfoldment, we had also better know what is being unfolded. These matters are considered in the following lesson and some subsequent ones, based on chapters from a book by I. K.

    The Aquarian Theosophist www.TheosophyOnline.com - www.CarlosCardosoAveline.com THE ETHERIC DOUBLE ? THE FAR-REACHING EFFECTS OF A FALSE ASSUMPTION ______________ G.A. FARTHING REVISED EDITION NOVEMBER 1996 1 The Aquarian Theosophist www.TheosophyOnline.com - www.CarlosCardosoAveline.com THE ETHERIC DOUBLE? G.A. FARTHING DIFFERENCES IN THEOSOPHICAL TEACHINGS AN EXAMINATION OF SOME OF THE DIFFERENCES IN DATA AND TERMINOLOGY BETWEEN THE ORIGINAL LITERATURE AND LATER VERSIONS Introduction There are many of the more thoughtful students of Theosophy and many teachers who are genuinely confused at the discrepancies they find between what has become known as second generation Theosophy (the Annie Besant/ C.W. Leadbeater or A.B./C.W.L. system) and the teachings of the two Masters instrumental in setting up the Theosophical Society and introducing Theosophy as given out through H.P. Blavatsky (the H.P.B./ Masters system). These discrepancies do not come to light as long as only one system is studied. In the minds of such students there are no difficulties or inconsistencies to worry about. The attitude can then well be that really there cannot be any serious divergences because surely the source of data, the main outlines of the Esoteric Science, are common to both systems, therefore discrepancies are likely to be trivial and really inconsiderable. This attitude is not really tenable but it is one generally held by those who have studied nothing but second generation literature. Moreover, it is this second generation literature which has become the commonly accepted one throughout the Adyar Society and generally in the world at large.
  • Conclusion What Is the Subtle Body?

    Conclusion What Is the Subtle Body?

    1 ABSTRACT This dissertation traces the historical genealogy of the term “subtle body,” following it from its initial coinage among the Cambridge Platonists back to the Neoplatonic sources from which they drew, then forward into Indology, Theosophy, Carl Jung, and the American Counterculture, showing the expansion of the term’s semantic range to include Sanskrit, Tibetan, and Chinese materials. 2 Acknowledgements First thanks go to my committee members. I never would have entertained the possibility of doing a project like this were it not for the iconoclastic tendencies of Jeff Kripal and Anne Klein under whom a conventional dissertation would be nigh impossible to write. Thanks Jeff for helping me contact the daimon , and Anne for teaching me to read between the lines, to see the basic space in which text dances. Thanks to Deborah Harter for her careful, aesthetic editorial gaze. Beyond the committee, Bill Parsons’ genealogy of mysticism exerted no small impact on my own method. Niki Clements showed me the cool side of Hegel. And thanks to Claire Fanger, for the esotericism, and April DeConick, for the gnosis. Thanks to Gregory Shaw for the secrets of Iamblichean theurgy and to Michael Murphy for the siddhi camps out of which this genealogy was born. Thanks also to Pierre Delattre for reading an early version and providing magical feedback. I constantly bounced ideas off my infinitely patient classmates: Justin Kelley, Claire Villareal, Erin Prophet, Ben Mayo, Renee Ford, Anne Parker, Justine Bakker, Gregory Perron, Tim Grieve-Carlson, Tommy Symmes, Kassim Abdulbassit, Victor Nardo, Oihane Iglesias Telleria, and Namleela Free Jones.

    Gurdjieff , Enneagram and the Fourth Way

    Gurdjieff , Enneagram and the Fourth Way This essay will survey Gurdjieff's central ideas, locate his sources and delineate the main reasons for his "Work"; explain chief methods and evaluate his place in the history of ideas and in the contemporary visions of human condition. His life, one of the great adventure stories of the 20th century is not our concern ( an interested reader can consult Riordan-Speeth's book (1) as the best introduction to all things Gurdjieffian ) - ours is a more critical and investigative, even inquisitive approach. 1. Gurdjieff's Vison of Human Machine Gurdjieff can be best described as a blend of operating Theosophist and the protagonist of Neopythagorean/Rosicrucian-Hermetic doctrines in vogue these times ( turn of the 19/20th century.) What the Theosophical movement had been teaching in last two decades of the 19th century, Gurdjieff, armed with his vitalist temper and adventurous spirit tried to achieve in practice. For all the nice talk about India and "Masters", Theosophists remained an influential, but rather impotent debate club. Our hero, Georgi Ivanovitch Gurdjieff, yearned for "the right stuff" of superhuman mastery and actualization of the "miraculous", a pervasive theme during the fin de siecle. And now we shall expose what has been found in search of the miraculous- and the shameless quackery, too. 1a. Bodies Gurdjieff's's Theosophical "roots" can be traced in his analysis of a human being: he divides man (I'll use Biblical chauvinist Yahwespeak) into four "bodies": 1. Carnal or Physical Body 2. Astral/Kesdjan Body (feelings, desires) 3. Mental or Spiritual Body (mind, mental faculty) 4.
