This composite of four guardians is all that can be recognized when walking past a cathedral. A life trapped in stone and steel cannot appreciate where thoughts come from. The guardians have different forms. Anthropologists continually find different design concepts. Yet the basic four remain. More of course than four exist. At least four are presented in comparative cultural texts. The reason for why they are so prevalent has to do with the concept of the winds. Finding the relationship between the two images relies on the understanding of what the wings represent. They are a type of energy that when emitted resembles a horn or wing. Another aspect that is common to exoteric religions is the seven body composite of a being. This composite includes four bodies that are depicted above in these two works of art. One of the statue, in the first image, depicting a 4 composite image. The other of the painting showing the 4 composites to have more independence. Although the images are seen by many the concept of owning more than one body is very strange. This lies in the fact that our physical senses look outward away from these bodies. Our ability to sense them requires organs of a finer nature. The seven lower circles in the tree of life diagram, counting from below correspond to the gates of these bodies. The top upper three circles are collectively known in Greek as the Logos. Just how many bodies you have access to depends on your ability to reach them. There are far more than according to the diagram. The parallel lines connecting these circles are in fact related to what are called ley lines. In order for these to have any meaning they must connect with your conscious states. Remember the hermetic principle that all is mind requires this to be so. The obsession to look at architecture of the past, but fail to look from within devalues our mind. Our personality at the moment is due to the conflict among these seven bodies. The tree of life diagram shows four of these bodies forming a tetrahedron. It "appears" but not absolutely true that these four tempers flow threw these gates making up the tetrahedron. The parallel lines themselves are also conscious states. The delicate balancing of the four humors are described by Hippocrates as biles, phlegm, and blood. Black bile (Greek: μέλαινα χολή, melaina chole), yellow bile (Greek: ξανθη χολή, xanthe chole), phlegm (Greek: φλέγμα, phlegma), and blood (Greek: αἷμα, haima). If in excess these fluids have dramatic effects on the liver, brain, and kidney and spleen. Such information was ignored not realizing that the humor theory was used to explain the effects of how emotions affect the nervous system. A subject to this day that still is searching for physical measurements for an explanation. This points to why there is interest in magic. It stems for the ability to stabilize and hence temper the run away unbalanced temperaments. Once these are balanced the higher bodies can achieve their desired influenced upon the lower bodies. The seven bodies from the most dense to the least dense are the 1) physical body, 2) The astral body, 3) The life body, 4) The desire body, 5) The body of Manas, 6) The body of Buddhi, 7) The body of Atman. A being only capable of knowing it has one body the physical body is a member of the mineral kingdom. This is a state of sleeping consciousness. A more complex and highly evolved entity has awareness of two bodies. This entity may have the power to migrant between the two bodies or even inhabit both at the same time. This is entity is a member of the plant kingdom. Different states of consciousness can be achieved of course compared with the mineral kingdom. A three body entity is a member of the animal kingdom. A four body entity is a member of the human kingdom. A five body entity is a member of the super human world. To gain entry requires forms of entry our texts provide the instruction. We however, are used to the literal interpretation. The ability to leave one region of space by mind alone and enter another occurs. We do this quite often. The description of lost in train of thought. Zoning out. What happens to us when this occurs. Why does it occur? We need to learn more about these various states and how to recognize them when when enter one. If we return to one how will will remember that state without some kind of marking made by us to recall where we had been. State one is involved in physical life State two is involved in emotional life. State three is involved in intellectual life. We spend more time in a state we feel comfortable in. The first three states lie in a circular region known as the confusion of tongues. Those beings in either of these states cannot understand each other's motives and statements. This is the part of mind that the Babel tower describes. State four is balanced among Instincts, Emotion, and Intellect. This is the lower of the higher states where functioning is possible. The circle of conscious humanity begins among states 5, 6, and 7. At this level the concept of awakening has occurred. To achieve this level of the Great Work involves the power of transformation. To have higher states of consciousness means the student must be made aware that higher states actually exist. Without the light of divinity we are only capable of realizing four states of consciousness. The first state is characterized as sleep with dreaming. The second state of consciousness is called, actually considered as the, waking state. The third state of consciousness is self awareness. The actually seeing and experiencing yourself at all times. Musicians can reach a state where they are unable to sense they are operating an instrument. They only sense their presence on the stage. This is a pre-condition necessary in order to start to recognize the trinity in all aspects. The fourth state is called objective consciousness . At this state you can see things as they truly are. These are given the words enlightenment. The correct way to achieve stable and proper entry requires first entering the third state of self remembering. This allows knowledge of as is. The third state is reachable through exercises. Why is it necessary to reach the third and fourth states? Because the communication of positive emotions is only achieved from these two states. We experience temporary events of reaching the third and fourth states. Yet we are unable to formulate a meaning to these experiences. Our higher centers are accessible through the third and fourth states. Why should one be concerned about this if one is interested in pursuing freedom? The desire to express free will suffers from the eventual conclusion that humanity sleeps. To achieve free will requires the conquest of sleep and the remembering of self. This connection to the higher worlds enables the entrance to freedom. The illusion that one is lied to by information services fails to be convincing when it comes to addiction. If freedom is achieved by will and intellect alone then why is argument that enlightenment can only be achieved through ingesting substances? How can one work though divination techniques yet be unable to rid the addiction of smoking? A machine mind can only reason in circles to justify its program. By entering the third state this mechanical foolishness is broken. Organizers of freedom lectures should examine closely why documents on freedom sound very familiar to Rosicrucianism. The answer lies in the Mystic researchers prior to the modern age. The importance of remembering self to achieve independence was discussed frequently in Europe during the middle ages. The physical senses are greater compared with matter. In a growing hierarchy the mind is higher than the senses. What do we possess that is still higher than mind? This is called intelligence. Beyond this region is more entities. What is higher than intelligence? Above intelligence is soul. The soul is represented in the Tarot images as the queen in the suits of the lesser arcana. This means that the soul is above the physical senses. This information is lacking. The Bhagavad-Gita points out the usefulness of knowing. In 3:43 the English translation follows: This knowing the soul to be superior to the material intellect, the mighty armed Arjun, subdued the self composed of the senses, mind, and intellect by the self composed of the strength of the soul. The outcome was the slaying of the formidable enemy known as his lust. The use of your mind is at stake. If in a conscious state of a mechanical will the concept of achieving a goal can be planned but not executed. This is why it is required to take control of the mind. By being able to remember all that you do rather than fall into a dull sleep of forgetfulness leads to the path of independence. This mechanical world is understood by the law of seven. A desired course plotted will not lead to the desired outcome because the seven changes will result in going into a circular path. Without the continued application to make corrections we fall back to a sleep state. Our intentions can be excellent. Only by waking up can an addiction be stopped. The soul must direct the material bound intellect. Without contact the intellect falsely believes it alone is in command. The soul experiences bewilderment. The soul must reach the intellect this stage of communication results in change many seek. Through active conscious remembering of self, the distortion is broken and the soul and intellect can meet up.
