101-5 Reflection notes - The Three Centers of Prana

The three centers of prana receive and circulate it between this triangle and then transmit it to the etheric body. They are the center between the shoulder blades, the center immediately above the diaphragm, and the etheric spleen.

The center between the shoulder blades is affected by our thought currents. The center above the diaphragm is affected by our emotions. And the etheric spleen is affected by the physical environment surrounding us such as the quality of the air, the emanations of people whom we contact, and what we put into our systems when we eat, and drink. We can see that the three centers of prana interact correspondingly to the mental body, the emotional body, and the physical-etheric body.

Mentor's comment: This is a very good and clear explanation of the etheric pranic triangle. On this is based much of the healing and wellness of the body and later, on the condition of our senses. It is always good to keep this in our minds and build on it.

Our etheric web is like the medium that connects all the levels in our energy systems, and thus it is related to the conditions of our vehicles. Therefore, in order to have a healthy etheric body, we should take care of our three bodies and be careful with what we put into them.

In order to have a healthy mental body, we should train and purify our mind by practicing meditation, mindfulness, and clear and right thinking. Through meditation, we let the light of our souls illuminate our minds. Our motives should be consistently examined to make sure that they are beautiful, truthful, righteous, and benevolent from the higher self. We can also cultivate our minds with noble thoughts from spiritual literature and writings from wise sages. The realization of Oneness and Interconnectedness will end all separatism, helping us see Divinity in ourselves and in all beings, leading us to inclusiveness and respect.

Mentor's comment: Yes, this is very clear and well-articulated.  We can see clearly how a well-cared for mind helps us to translate what we experience in the Higher Worlds. Clearing our all deceptive thinking, illusions, ego and vanity removes these “germs” from our mental body.

In order to have a healthy astral body, we should keep our hearts pure with pure and elevated emotions. That can be done by calming all the toxic fires of hatred, anger, fear, and envy with the spring of sweet compassionate love and the cold light of divine indifference and discernment.

Mentor's comment: Yes, this is so important to keep in mind.  Consider how glamors and attachments pollute our emotional body and pulls us into the lower astral worlds.

For a healthy physical body, we should have a balanced lifestyle with regular exercises, sunbath, clean food, enough sleep and rest. It would be good if we can live close to nature with fresh air. Our sexual energy should also be saved for spiritual development. All things that are dangerous for our awareness and self-control such as alcohol, drugs, and tobacco, should be avoided.

Mentor's comment: Yes, very clear and well defined. Our physical health is so important to carry us through our life.

For our overall well-being, it is advised to practice harmlessness in all that we think, speak and do; having periodical fasting in silence as a withdrawal from the personality life to cultivate our inner and higher life; and doing creative labor as a way for joyful self-expression. Whatever we are doing, if we do it with all our heart, mind and being, we then become a  channel for divine energy to flow and manifest out into the world.

On the other hand, we should be careful to contact with the right people and the right objects as they all carry energies that can affect us positively or negatively.

It is also recommended that we use the right colors and right music for purifying our etheric body. It is because every color and music has their own ray and quality. If we know our Soul ray and use the right colors and music accordingly, by the law of resonance, they can have beneficial and healing impact for our bodies.

Mentor's comment: Yes, beautiful.

Questions:

1. I have a concern about cannabis/marijuana as it is legalized in Thailand. I feel that something is wrong with this, but I am a little bit confused as there are some arguments about its beneficial use in medical treatment. So, I just would like to know your opinion about this.

Mentor's answer: Yes, it is very dangerous to the subtle bodies. It is being legalized everywhere and the money makers are making money from the damage to humanity. Torkom has a magnificent lecture about “Why Drugs are Dangerous” and it is reprinted in a Chapter in Esoteric Science of Healing. I think you have that book and if so, take a look at it. Drugs damage our subtle bodies so our next incarnation we have damaged bodies.

2. If elementals belong to the angel evolution, why it will be human in a next manvantara?

Mentor's answer: The Secret Doctrine teaches that all evolution must go through the human kingdom. Consider what is learned in the human bodies and how we manage to build our mental mechanism. Without a mind, logic, reasoning, and ability to know to differentiate, there is no intelligence that is being used. Think of this and how important the human process is. In this, we learn first hand what is the purpose of life.

3. I read the books on Solar Angel about the sacred marriage between the Solar Angel and the human soul and I have some questions. I am confused because I read that at the 4th initiation, our Solar Angel will activate our 2 polarities so that we can become a hermaphrodite spiritually. And our Solar Angel is even beyond a 4th-degree initiate, why does It still have a polarity (feminine or masculine)?

Our Solar Angel is with us all the time through ages. And as the soul has no gender, we can incarnate in some lives as male and in other lives as female. So, it is true that even the soul has no gender, it still has polarity? And if so, is it true that only in a life that we have a gender with the opposite polarity of the polarity of the Solar Angel, the Soul Union can happen?

Mentor's answer: Polarity is science. There is no attraction to create new life forms if there is no polarity.

The story of the Solar Angel and the human soul is so confused in all the Teachings except Torkom’s work. In brief:

The human soul is part of the human development and is built in the Chalice.

The Solar Angel is the Teacher of the human being, until the human soul is built.

At the 4th initiation, the Solar Angel leaves because the human soul is now a Soul and is in the Triad.

These lessons will come to you in time.

Good work.
