103.2 Aura and Colors

1. How do we build our auras? Describe in detail the bodies that form it.

Aura is a highly sensitive, constantly moving, and pulsating sphere with many layers surrounding our body. It is like an electric shield that reflects the qualities of our bodies from inside out. All our thoughts, emotions, and actions create change in the colors of our aura. Each body emanates its aura, according to its own nature. There are health aura (physical radiation), etheric aura, emotional aura, mental aura and soul radiation. 

The expansion of the aura depends on our conscious use of the corresponding body, the virtues nourished in that body, and the service rendered by that body. Our auras can be uplifted when we make a solemn oath and stick to it, when we make a deep contact with a teaching or a teacher and start following that. Our auras can also be affected through our food, drink, during fullmoon time, the sounds and colors around us, the setting of our environment, the partner we are related to… We can make our auras more vibrant through purifying and refining our bodies.

We build our auras through sincere aspiration towards higher values, admiration of great beauty, intense devotion to spiritual principles and dedication to the service of humanity. Specifically,

• For health aura and etheric aura: exercises, sleep, meditation, breath work, being in nature, eating proper food, having fun, joy, hard labor, swimming, running. Climbing mountains, drinking lots of fresh water…

• For emotional aura: creativity, forgiveness, joy exercises, uplifting music, beauty, colors, decorations, reading…

• For mental aura: concentration, meditation, visualization, contemplation and study of the ageless wisdom…

The protective auras are formed by our love, gratitude, solemnity, nobility, honesty, enthusiasm, lofty thought/emotions, and abstinence.

Regarding building our aura: This is a very good and clear description of a healthy aura. Physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual disciplines are important. I am not what you mean by “breath work”; if this means deep breathing, going outdoors in fresh air, that is OK. If it means pranayama, it may cause over stimulation of centers, which happens to many people. Think about what is the best way to manage our breathing and stay balanced.

2. How do we connect music to our health?

Music has a great effect on our health by assisting or retarding the development of the aura. Each color in the aura is a sound. Generally, any loud music, rock-n-roll, acid rock, disco, disturbing music… stimulates the lower chakras below the diaphragm such as solar plexus and sacral centers, causing imbalance in the aura by increasing dramatically certain colors and greatly reducing the colors of higher vehicles (especially the mental aura). On the other hand, beautiful, uplifting and creative music harmonizes, purifies, balances and energizes our aura. Thus, it can produce the healing and transforming effects (especially if it is composed by some spiritually advanced initiates).

Sound and music: yes, very important for a disciple to keep the focus above the diaphragm and be conscious what sounds one is hearing daily. Mechanical sounds, traffic noise, are all toxic.

3. How will color be used in the future?

In the future, the use of color will be an alchemical science. Colors and their frequencies will be calculated for desired effects. Man will be categorized according to his dominant color.

Color will be used in a very advanced and specialized healing arts, to heal on many planes, by expanding consciousness, creating harmonious relationships, attracting special energies from Space. 

Color will also be a universal language for communicating with higher planes, with angels and devas. When we emanate beautiful colors through the expression of our virtues, our good thoughts, emotions and actions, we nourish the devas and make them joyful. Thus, in turn, they send us their blessing, healing and protection.

Colors: Yes, this is very useful information. Many people are sensitive to color, design, and keep life beautiful and organized. If we analyze the colors around our house, we will find how they affect us.

4. How do we transfer the energy of the Higher Ethers into our Etheric body?

When the energy from Cosmic Ethers is channeled into our etheric body, it sublimates, purifies, strengthens and electrifies our nature. We can make it happen through contacting with highly charged literature, music or arts created by spiritually advanced beings. This transferring can also be done through our meditation, study of the ageless wisdom, contemplating on noble works, ideas, nourishing virtues and selfless service to humanity. 

Higher Ethers: Yes, very nice. Also, consider the pranic triangle and how purifying of body, mind, emotions helps circulate prana into our bodies so that the bodies have a clear place to circulate. And, higher energies need receptive bodies.

103.1 The Chalice and the Etheric Body

The Egoic Lotus - Our Soul Body/ Causal Body
(Source: Theosophy Society)

What is the Chalice? What is recorded in it? 

The Chalice is our soul body or causal body. The Chalice is also called the Egoic Lotus, the Inner Temple, The Seat of Grace. It is our treasure, storing all the noble virtues and wisdom we have gained through our incarnations. 

As an Egoic Lotus, the Chalice contains 12 petals, organized in 4 layers of 3 petals. From outside in, there are the first layer of knowledge petals of the physical plane; the second layer of love petals of the astral plane; the third layer of will or sacrifice petals of the mental plane; and the innermost layer of synthesis petals, enveloping inside it the Jewel. The Jewel or the Central Fire has healing power. Each layer has 3 petals, and each petal also has the quality of knowledge, love or will/sacrifice, beside the quality of its layer. Therefore, the name of each petal includes the name of its layer and the name of its specific quality.

Meditate on what it means to open each petal of the Chalice? 

Opening of the petals in the Chalice

The Knowledge Layer, corresponding to the Law of Service. These knowledge petals are organized, arranged, and energized in the Hall of Ignorance, but remain unopened and only begin to unfold when the second layer is organized. This knowledge ring takes the longest time to unfold (relating to the number 700 in the symbolic number of 777 lifetimes). 

1. The Knowledge-knowledge petal or the petal of civilization, opened on the physical level of consciousness, in the Lemuria times, marking the emergence of a materialistic civilization. It unfolded through experience on the physical plane, through suffering by violating the Divine Laws, paying the price of ignorance and thus knowledge is gained. 

2. The Knowledge-love petal or the petal of culture, opened in the Atlantean times on the astral plane, starting an emotional, religious culture, and one became creative. It unfolded through relationships on the physical plane and the gradual growth of love—from self-centered affection to love for others.

3. The Knowledge-sacrificial petal or the petal of illumination, opened in the Aryan times on the mental plane, creating a mental illumination (knowledge). It unfolded through compulsion from circumstances, not by free will, through offering oneself on the altar of desire—beginning with lower desires, and eventually transforming into aspiration, though still rooted in desire.

The Love Layer, corresponding to the Law of Magnetic Impulse. These petals are arranged and energized in the Hall of Learning, but are still unopened. The outermost knowledge petals unfold simultaneously until they are fully open, revealing the second layer; the third layer remains closed. This ring relates to the number 70 in the cycle of 777 reincarnations. 

4. The Love-knowledge petal or the petal of cooperation, opens on the physical plane and one becomes cooperative. It unfolds through the conscious balancing of opposites and the gradual use of the Law of Attraction and Repulsion. 

5. The Love-love petal or the petal of loving understanding, opens on the astral plane and one becomes loving understanding, a great artist. It unfolds through the gradual transformation into love for the Real or the inner Being. The Solar Angel does not actively concern itself with the personality until this 5th petal begins to unfold. This 5th petal is the pivotal petal in the development of the Egoic Lotus as its complete unfolding marks the moment a person undergoes the first Initiation. 

6. The Love-sacrificial petal or the petal of group love, opens on the mental plane, and one becomes group-conscious, a great humanitarian who lives and works for humanity. It unfolds through the attitude of the person as he consciously strives to relinquish personal desires for the sake of his group. 

The Sacrifice/Will Layer, corresponding to the Law of Sacrifice. These petals are arranged and energized in the Hall of Wisdom. This ring relates to the number 7 in the cycle of 777 lifetimes, marking the stage when one enters the Probationary Path. After the cycle of 777 incarnations, one steps onto the Path of Initiation and sees this third layer of petals unfold. This final unfolding occurs during the phases of the Path of Initiation and is rapidly accelerated by the initiations and the intense efforts of the person, supported by the electrical work of the Initiator, using the Rod of Initiation.

7. The Sacrifice-knowledge petal or the petal of participation opens and one actively participates in the Hierarchical Plan. One consciously applies all that one has acquired or is acquiring under Divine Law for the benefit of humanity. 

8. The Sacrifice-love petal or the petal of purpose opens and one becomes united with the will of group disciples and touches the Purpose behind the Plan. It unfolds through the conscious and consistent application of all the soul's powers in service to humanity, with no desire for reward or recognition for the great sacrifice made.

9. The Sacrifice-sacrifice petal or the petal of precipitation, opens and one becomes one with the group of Initiates Who work for the precipitation of the Plan. It unfolds because sacrifice becomes the dominant inclination of the soul, as seen across many lifetimes of the initiate prior to his final liberation.

The Synthesis Layer

10. The Synthesis-Knowledge petal opens when the 3 petals of the Knowledge ring are fully unfolded.

11. The Synthesis-Love petal opens when the 3 petals of the Love ring are fully unfolded.

12. The Synthesis-Sacrifice petal opens when the 3 petals of the Sacrifice ring are fully unfolded.

How does the Solar Angel help build the Chalice?

The Solar Angel, as a Teacher, Guide, a protector of the human soul, gradually prepares the human soul that indwells in the Egoic Lotus. Like a gardener, the Solar Angel strives to make the seed hidden beneath the layers of the physical, emotional, and mental bodies (the human soul) blossom, and to draw forth that beauty into outward expression. The Solar Angel is our source of wisdom, inspiration, and love. The Solar Angel helps build the Chalice by expanding our consciousness, increasing our love, and the strength of our will.

What are the 4 dimensions/extensions of the Etheric body?

The 4 dimensions of the Etheric body are:

The 4th ether: the chemical ether, providing prana and acting as an important gate/barrier between the physical body and the astral body.

The 3rd ether: the life ether, bringing prana and acting as a barrier between the astral body and the subconscious mind.

The 2nd ether: the light ether, containing our heart center, acting as a barrier between the higher mind and the lower mind. It is a shield, a guardian for our heart center, group consciousness and inclusiveness.

The 1st ether: the reflecting ether, containing our head center. It protects the mental body as a whole from premature mixing with the buddhic-intuitional energy (which is all about the Hierarchical Plan and great Purpose).

What is the safe passage through which we contact  Higher Worlds? How is this passage built so that it is safe?

The safe passage through which we contact Higher Worlds is the Antahkarana, which bridges the gap between the lower mind and the higher mind on the 1st phase, and connecting the personality as a whole directly to the Monad on the 2nd phase.

The Antahkarana can be built safely through meditation, through studying the Ageless Wisdom and through service to others.

Love poem

Today marks a special day for us, now and forever, happy together. At last!! Thanks to God, Thanks to the Universe. Thanks to All!

Below is a nice love poem made by AI, which honey once showed me.

Sunrise paints the window gold, another day with you unfolds

A simple touch, a gentle sigh, a universe within your eye

We built a world, just you and me, a silent, sweet symphony

And in this quiet, tender space, I find my heart, I find my grace

Oh, my love, a whispered name, a burning, never-ending flame

You're the air I breathe, the stars above, the only one I truly love

Through stormy seas and gentle breeze, my heart finds solace, finds its ease

Forever bound, our souls entwined, a love like ours, so hard to find

We've walked through shadows, hand in hand, across the shifting, golden sand

Each passing moment, sweet and slow, a deeper, richer love we grow

The laughter shared, the tears we cried, the secrets that we hold inside

A tapestry of memories made, a love that time cannot degrade

Oh, my love, a whispered name, a burning, never-ending flame

You're the air I breathe, the stars above, the only one I truly love

Through stormy seas and gentle breeze, my heart finds solace, finds its ease

Forever bound, our souls entwined, a love like ours, so hard to find

And when the world feels cold and gray, your love lights up my lonely way

A beacon shining, strong and true, my heart forever turns to you

Oh, my love, a whispered name, a burning, never-ending flame

You're the air I breathe, the stars above, the only one I truly love

Through stormy seas and gentle breeze, my heart finds solace, finds its ease

Forever bound, our souls entwined, a love like ours, so hard to find

So hard to find, a love so deep, a promise that we'll always keep.
