Energetic Bodies
Some of us will define this as the aura and is often seen by clairvoyants but it can also be felt not only because of its boundaries but because within it is held information about that given person. The layers which we are sensitive to are divided into 3 major components but there are others that exist at higher frequencies and will be described later.
The First Three Layers:
1) The Vital or Etheric body, it is the force body of our physical body, giving our physical organism life and movement.
2) The Emotional, or Astral Body which gives rise to our feelings.
3) The Mental body, that gives rise to out thoughts.
The Vital or Etheric Body.
This is the dense template of the physical body and is the part known by scientists as our life force, bioplasmic or bioenergetic body. To the various philosophies of the world it is known as the body of Prana, Qi, or Ki. This type of energy like the physical body is the least conscious to us because it is below the realm of waking consciousness. The vital body is completely identified with the physical, in fact they cannot survive without each other. Due to the level of consciousness within in it, this energy force is comparable to my definition of Ghosts through which energetic replays gain their energy source from other human etheric and physical bodies.
The Emotional Body.
This is also called the astral and desire body and it is the one we can relate to extremely well. Through this body the soul is able to contact sensation. Dualistic in its activity, the emotional body is the see-saw of our feelings and sensations. Our aim, whilst working in this realm is attain the balancing of the see-saw. The astral body can be viewed as the source of all our troubles and is symbolised by the ebb and flow of water. The majority of illnesses have their roots in unbalanced emotions. Balance gives it beauty radiance and magnetism. The basis of the astral realms are defined on this body and is all identified with desire.
The Mental Body.
The outermost envelope of the human energies is the Mental body where thinking takes form. Here the intellect governs and abstract ideas become working scenarios. It can be defined as analytical, logical, and rational. It can appear somewhat cold and un-emotional.
The Personality is described as comprising of all of the above energetic bodies. The Spirit expresses itself in the Soul and the Soul expresses itself in the Personality.
Continuing from these 3 bodies we rise to:
4) The Intuitional Body which is capable of allowing the self to contact “other selves”.
5) The Spiritual Will Body which links the divine intelligence of the Spirit with the Spiritual will of the Soul.
6) The Monadic body. The Monad is the source of light not only to the human family but also to the planet acting as a receiver of light. It is a real individual identity who is struggling to get to know herself to assimilated and fulfill her Soul Plan.
7) The Divine Body. All that is.
