David Topí: The different stages of matter that make up each subtle body of man
- 2015
We continue making a summary of concepts that we have already touched many times in the blog, but unifying them a little more with the help of the way of seeing it from the ancient Greek philosophers. We are already seeing that the information that the Pythagorean teachings have bequeathed us, compared to many of the philosophical or mystical currents of our day, have very similar correspondences with each other, and, vary widely or little the names that different schools put to it, we usually find that the structures in which they promote their metaphysical knowledge are certainly similar in many cases. Perhaps the exoteric part of these teachings differ somewhat from the esoteric ones, those reserved only for the true initiates, since, traditionally, only the so-called “minor mysteries” were revealed, that knowledge that could be more or less easily understood, to those who they delved into these issues for the first time, before entering into more complicated and hidden things within the initiatory schools.
The energetic composition of the bodies of man
If we remember, in our solar system, manifested and formed only by the last seven planes of the structure of our universe (the densest, from 43 to 49), all energetic manifestation by combination of monads or primary units of consciousness gave rise to seven different states of matter, which are:
1 (the most subtle) :. atomic state,
2. sub-atomic state,
3. super etheric state,
4. etheric state,
5. gaseous state,
6. liquid state and
7 (the densest): solid state.
With this in mind, it is easy to realize, when we enter to analyze the energetic composition of the human being, that each of the subtle bodies of which we are composed obeys a certain type of combination of these previous states of matter, according to the plan what we are talking about. In the article on subtle bodies and control centers, we briefly explained the seven bodies of the human being:
First body : The physical body + etheric body, which are usually considered together, being the etheric body that holds together the chemical and organic structure of the physical body, since it is the template or mold thereof. It is related to the first chakra, and to the instinctive center of the brain.
Second body: The emotional body, carries all our emotions and feelings, but especially the lowest, desires and passions. It is related to the second chakra, and to the emotional center of the brain.
Third body: The mental body . Bearer of all thoughts, ideas, belief systems, behavior patterns, memories, etc. It is related to the lower intellectual center and the third chakra.
Fourth body: The spiritual body . It is also called the causal body. It is related to the heart chakra and the spiritual center, that is, to the person's consciousness and level of development. It is this chakra, center and body that currently allows us or matters more in the step of evolutionary level, of density, that we are living.
Fifth body: Also called the thymic body. Related to the motor or automatic center and the fifth chakra.
Sixth body: The upper emotional body . Related to the sixth chakra and the superior emotional center.
Seventh body: The samadhic or medical body . Related to the seventh chakra, and to the higher spiritual center.
Of all these, the most important are the first four, since they are the ones that are mainly developed in all human beings. Now, what kind of energy is each of these bodies made of? Well, as you can already suppose, of the matter of each of the planes that correspond to them and those that are connected as an evolutionary vehicle in that plane. So:
Physical body: formed by the matter of plane 49, states 5, 6 and 7 (gas, liquid, solid)
Ethereal body: formed by the matter of plane 49, states 2, 3 and 4 (sub-atomic, super-ethereal and ethereal)
Emotional body: formed by the material of plane 48, states 2 to 7
Mental body: formed by the matter of plane 47, states 4 to 7
Causal body: formed by the matter of plane 47, states 1 to 3
That is, the physical body is formed by the combination of fundamental particles, primary atoms of plane 49, in its three lower states. The ethereal, formed by particles of the same plane, but in their highest states. The emotional body, is formed by elementary atoms of type 48, and the mental and casual body, by elementary atoms of type 47, the first in the densest states and the second the least. In order for a primordial atom of a given plane to be formed, 49 primordial atoms of a higher plane come together and create an tomo more dense that, then, it becomes raw material for the plane to be projected or created.
If you want to see it differently, each basic block of energy-matter-consciousness of the physical plane (49 of the scale) is made by 49 basic blocks of the upper plane (48). Each basic block of the plane 48, is made of 49 basic blocks of the plane 47, and thus we go up and up until we reach the Source.
If we make a simple mathematical calculation, a single "basic block" or primary atom of the physical plane is composed of 4948 fundamental atoms or particles of plane 1, the first plane from the Source. And we still have science and CERN looking for the smallest parts in which matter can be divided ... if Thales of Miletus will raise his head, he might look at us in amazement about it :—)
Each body a function
In a generic way, each subtle body is composed of an outer membrane made of matter in the atomic state of the plane to which it corresponds (the etheric body, of 49: 1 matter, the emotional one, of 48: 1 matter, etc.). Then, normally, the energy "mass" of that body belongs to the densest class of the same plane (physical body, matter in states 5, 6, and 7, emotional body, matter 48: 7, mental body, 47: 7, etc.), and finally, in every subtle body there is a permanent atom that we call a seed atom, and which we have already talked about in other articles.
On the other hand, as we had already said in that other article about the process of incarnation, the four lower bodies are renewed in each life, they are not permanent, and the matter that regenerates them, "cleanses", transmutes and recreates itself so that, in each new existence we have we can re-enter with new “costumes” to a new experience (although they are all simultaneous, when we do not perceive it from our linear perspective of time). The etheric allows us to have perceptions and sensations, and, just as blood circulates through the physical body, chi, prana or simply the vital energy, circulates through this other body, something that Chinese medicine, acupuncture, or the techniques of Energy healing know and use to balance and heal. The emotional allows us to have emotions and feelings, and the mental allows us to have the ability to think and discern. The causal is finally what differentiates us from the animal kingdom, because it provides us with a spiritual sense of life and through it, as a permanent body that remains from incarnation to incarnation, the being that we are, the monad that represents our “divine particle ”Individually, progresses and maintains a sense of continuity throughout its evolutionary journey.
Being, soul, spirit
Like the Mayans, the Egyptians and other esoteric cultures and lines, the Pythagorean teachings distinguished between "being, " as the monad or central core of consciousness that we are (I guess it is the "Core, " which Barbara Ann Brennan calls ), the spirit, as the first “suit” that covers it and is inserted into the human body, and the soul, as the second suit that allows it to interact with the physical body. In this composition, the soul is the sum or envelope of the lower energetic bodies (causal, mental, emotional and etheric), constituted by the matter of the planes 47, 48 and 49. The spirit would be formed by matter of the higher planes ( buddhic and atmic in this nomenclature) and the being / monad would be constituted by the matter of the monadic and / or atic planes.
To finish basting and fitting concepts, since in the different opportunities to work with those who assist us from higher levels we have asked a lot about these issues, just notice that the core, the monad, the divine spark, the light matrix or the Being (with lowercase) from my point of view are synonyms or related terms, manifesting this "waterfall" in the structure of what we are:
Sub-Source (for example our Milky Way Logos) -> BE (entity from which we are "born") -> Higher self (portion of the BE that coordinates and manages all projections and incarnations) -> ser / core / matrix of light (portion of the BEING that incarnates in a physical body through the Higher Self) -> Spirit (first envelope of being) -> Soul (second envelope) ––> Physical body.
