The Banyan tree! Above is a model of the brain and spinal cord. This tree is a metaphor for the mind and Nervous system in esoteric texts. A series of shocks causes us to awaken. At this point in spiritual development we may fall asleep again. We also can awaken so as to remain awake from further shocks. There is a song passage by a group called the Wild Moccasins, a group in America, the words are---”Please do not let me fall asleep---” These words are appearing in song just as the reminders to awaken occur in esoteric texts. At this point our conscious starts to realize that their is a higher and lower self. The higher self has been trying to reach us. The susceptibility can vary. None are immune to the effect. An artist pious in thoughts may sense that their is more going on than in the physical world. The pull from the higher-self can be great. The conscious state often finds itself in a new perspective. At point we become meditative automatically. The process no longer becomes a ritual. There will be longer periods of isolation possible in your schedule. Information will come to you as if by magic. That is why you are reading this article. At this stage you are wondering what lies ahead along this journey. The next step is a sensitivity to perceiving the higher worlds of the mind. This involves Occult vision training. In order to see by occult vision we must grow the organs of clairvoyant seeing. That is right...grow! This requires incubation. Just as with all life forms. Heat is needed from the sun to initiate the growth of plants in the spring. The egg requires warmth from the Mother. The source of our psychic energy is the Sun. This is why various traditions take great pains to determine when Easter occurs and when the spring equinox occurs. To be aware of this provides an explanation as to why there are so many solar observatories on the earth produced by various cultures at various times. Thus the ever popular ancient space aliens are our ourselves. Even now there is a movement comprised of scientist, yogis, and religious groups meeting to discuss the precessional shift of the earth’s axis and how it influences the coming equinoxes and solstices. Upon the reading of the articles in this blog you will come to understand that physicians, neuroscientists, endocrinologists, psychologists, and astrologists would be interested in this topic as well. The organs involved in clairvoyant vision are created by our thoughts and feelings produced when we consciously concentrate our attention on the living processes going on around us. This may be subtle. Yet at this point you must remember your are in a contemplative mood. The chatter is subdued because you are climbing the mountains. These are referenced in esoteric texts and metaphorically mean meditation. The reason that this works can be understood by examining the Tree of Life. It represents the climbing metaphor. Each orb called a Sephira, 1-10, is an entrance to a new mental state. These can be thought of as ornaments, stars, or fruits on the tree if it helps you understand what these gateways refer to. Our formation of thoughts in our mind follow a path through these gates. The metaphor of a lightbulb going off to imply an idea is known as the lightening path. Now that you are familiar with the Tree you will begin to become aware in how to use the Tree in coming up with your thoughts. These Sephira of fruits hanging upon the Tree influence each other. This allows us to travel up and down the tree on a conscious effort. How is this then possible? Simple consider your physical body and your thoughts. Where are your thoughts displayed upon your body? This is because your thoughts are operating and hence existing in a different world than your physical body, 10. The dimensions, and laws, and sensations are all different from each other. Initially when we begin to utter the personal pronoun I in our respective languages to our parents and friends we are accessing a different world. This is the world known as the Mental body, 7, or Victory in english and Netzach in hebrew. The meaning of the names will come when the functioning of the Tree is understood. This really can only occur by conscious effort. Notice in the above case you access a Sephira on the tree without being taught this is one aspect that has eluded European philosophers of the 1600s. The argument of the Tabular Rasta only occurred when natural philosophers broke from the occult study an selected a narrow mechanical view. This was to create the Ghost in the Shell model without the Ghost. The implications have caused future generations much confusion. Later the Ghost was placed back into the model to adjust the failures and misunderstanding that were provoked. It is clear from this discussion that the mind uses the senses to climb the various domains. Therefore why is so difficult for some gateways to be reached without effort. This has to do with the period of evolution of the planet. It does not mean the individual is barred far from it. There are people with different levels of clairvoyance. Unfortunately they do not understand its meaning. They tend to focus on the physical earth, and not the higher levels. Only those that make an effort to study Spiritual Science will be able to make headway. Indeed their still is the continual effort to mistake nature spirits as manifestations of the ghost and paranormal world. Therefore for the student the pull of the material word must be counterbalanced by the spirit world. Otherwise there will be an unbalance state in the person. Our perception must involve active focus on both worlds. The effect of these spirits were incorporated into fables. Some of these fables have been reinterpreted into current films and new versions. Since the mind works with symbols the use of words must accompany images. The way to climb this Tree of life is known as the Path of Return. The vertical direction on the Tree can be imagined as a Energy. The horizontal is also a Energy but provides information on different ways we can utilize our thoughts. More on this will be described in a later article. The choice of Sephira, or gates to enter are described by an energy wave. In esoteric symbolism the wave is described by a snake, or serpent. The reader must be aware of this connection. The snake provides a path to connect the physical world with thought from 10 to 1. On another level of understanding it connects us with heaven. Combining the information onto the tree makes a complicated image. As seen below. During periods of sleep the conscious feels weak and confused. It does not know where to turn and believes all experiences are do to luck and misfortune. The process to bring change requires an understanding that change must occur with the Tree of Life. That requires internal mediation. Again it requires climbing the Tree. This step will lead to becoming familiar with all of its branches. To climb up and down easily along all the paths will ultimately follow. This is enough to keep you busy. What greater hobby is there then to Know Yourself.
Question how do stones, water, and plants appear in the spirit world? Stones are perceived to emit a blue or blue-red spiritual light. Animals are perceived to emit a red or sometimes red-yellow light. Plants emit a green light that changes gradually to a rose-pink as the color dissipates into the atmosphere. The elemental spirits of Water manage Plant growth and flower bud development. Air elemental spirits manage the activities that occur in summer and autumn Spirits that Distribute the work of the nature spirits. To provide the proper time of spring and summer. reside in the Astral body of the earth To perceive this astral body we must Remain conscious as we sleep. There is a series of veils. It has been mentioned that a Temple to the goddess of Isis in a Roman city had the message that her veil cannot be removed. These veils are what we in spiritual science must left and cross easily. this is our goal. The veil cannot be removed with hammers and screw drivers. The lifting can only occur by our minds. veil 1 separates the physical and the etheric world Veil 2 separates the etheric and the astral world Spirits of periods of the cycle of time of the earth. They are the bearers of the forces that cause the earth to rotate. During Spring the air spirits Saturate the earth. They are necessary for plants to grow. The planet spirit of the earth is a sensing organ that ensures the planet will be in the right relations with respect to other heavenly bodies.
