1. What are the seven levels and seven bodies?
Number 7 is a magic one. We see it as 7 colors of the rainbow, 7 rays of all manifestations and now we have 7 levels of consciousness corresponding to 7 planes of our solar systems, with each having its own 7 subplanes; and beyond that, we even have the 7 Cosmic Planes. The 7 planes are the physical-etheric, astral, mental, intuitional (buddhic), atmic, monadic, and logoic or divine planes.
“As above so below”, we see the analogy between man and the Cosmos, men are often seen as microcosmos. It was written in the Greek Delphi - “Know Thyself” as it was advised by Socrates and all great Teachers and Sages - “Know Thyself”. Therefore, as we learn about the constitution of Man, we also come to learn about the constitution of the Universe. Man is also constituted of that 7 layers of substances.
In his full potential, man is 7-fold or multidimensional. However, in order for man to truly and consciously active in each level - each plane, man has to have his vehicle functioning at that plane. So, as man evolves in his consciousness, he is building up his bodies for operating in the planes, higher and higher throughout the course of time. Thus, he becomes more and more inclusive and balanced.
At the present time, humanity mostly functions in the 3 lower planes of physical, astral and mental, which are often called the three worlds or the three planes of human endeavors. The evolutionary goal of the Aryan root-race is developing the mental body. And the goal for the next 6th root-race is developing the intuitional body.
