So,
seeing the symbol of life we can study it micro-cosmically in
man, mezzo-cosmically in the planet and macro-cosmically in the
universe, because, what is man with his bodies as a Spirit-
Soul-Ego so is the Absolute Beingness, our Father who is in
Heaven. That's why we call a human being the microcosm, just
similar to the macrocosm.
So, on the Symbol of Life we
see 7 mundane centers (What does it mean mundane? Belonging to
the world of expression) and 5 divine. The three triangles in
one, the Holy Trinity. But these circles touching the triangles
are divine. They are not mundane. Then you have the other 7.
These 7 are the holy centers in the material body as the organs
- in the etheric double as the centers fitting these organs. The
Hindus are calling them chakras. Some say more, some less. I
said in a lesson, nothing more dangerous then knowing not to
concentrate within chakras or centers of energy, we call them
centers of energy, which are under the command of the Holy
Spirit and the Holy Archangels of the Elements. Now, suppose
there is a fellow doing such work (a scientist or an artist,
great artist) and then a child, a stupid child comes there and
plays with his things, what do you think that the fellow will do
to that stupid child? Take him by the hand and say "Leave it,
come on, leave it there. Don't do that". A stupid person deals
with centers of energy without knowing what they are, how they
function, and for what these centers of energy are there for.
But of course, if the owner grows up, they are ready to teach
him what they are doing and ask him to cooperate. That is a
different thing now.
So, I say, nothing more dangerous for a fellow who is curious
and not wise enough, just to get a book on these centers of
energy (called chakras, by the Hindus I said) - and there are
many, many books which you can buy. I am telling you, I have
seen many come to me with broken nervous system, because they
have tried to interfere with these holy, sacred centers of
energy - for they are holy. Now, we have these 7 centers of
energy. There are more, some minor in importance. Shall we not
just use them? Of course, you have the right, if you know what
they are. Respect them and not interfere with the work of the
Holy Archangels in your etheric double, the Archangels of the
Elements. I am telling you, if one, a Seeker after the Truth,
develops his consciousness from waking-consciousness only to
self-consciousness, increasing his ability of expression,
reaching higher levels of Self-Super- Consciousness, the Holy
Archangels, your brothers, working in your material body and in
the etheric double, will be most willing to show you their work.
And then, that man, regains what he has lost by making bad use
in the past of, what I call, creative thought. Did you ever
think what is creative thought? People are coming, telling me,
saying "We want to learn materialization and dematerialization
and dealing with matter". Who wants that? The children? Sit for
a year to develop yourself psycho-analytically, and you
yourself, as Present-Day-Personality, will reach the levels of
self-consciousness. How else do you expect to be entrusted by
the Holy Archangels of the Elements the secret of what you call
materialization and dematerialization? What is materialization
after all? Everything is matter and energy, turning energy into
matter and matter into energy, something happening in nature
every moment.
So, this is under the control of the Holy Archangels of the
Elements. One should know the truth, should know who he or she
is and then claim to know more. So, in our etheric double of our
material body (because, if you have the right to say our
material body, you also have the right to say our etheric
double), is in the control of the Holy Spirit and the
Archangels. There are certain centers on the surface of the
head, on the thyroid, on the heart, on each of the lungs, in the
so- called solar plexus, in the genitals. I said more than 7. I
said 7 are the main, but, you have more. You have on the knees,
on the feet, no, something more, on every tip of every finger of
yours, ten. On the fingers of your hand you have one of these
centers of energy. What do you think is making, what you say,
the fingerprints? Yes, these etheric centers! So, we have many,
very many, but 7 important, and all of them are under the
control of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Archangels. I am telling
you, your holy brothers are most willing, when you grow up from
childhood to become an adult to embrace you and give you their
secret, but not before, because it is dangerous. Nobody is
putting a razor blade in the hands of children, or knives.
Because these centers of energy have tremendous power in them.
Tremendous power just to be in the hands of a foolish person.
So, we shall get to know more about what is permissible to be
revealed. The nature of our etheric double.
From a Stoa Lesson by Daskalos:
24 SEPTEMBER 1990
You may ask, "Is Absolute Beingness
- God? Where can I find Him?" Many centuries ago, thousands of years
before the birth of Christ, human beings were already searching for
this Truth. Why? Because they felt the need to get an answer to the
questions "Who are we? What are we?" You cannot get the
answer unless you know what God is.
Thousands of years ago, the human
beings in their search started to think, "What is the relationship
between men and animals, and why should men worship animals as
gods?" They made that mistake. The Ancient Egyptians were adoring
certain animals as gods, for example Anubis. It did not satisfy
them, however. How had they come to the point of adoring animals as
gods? Because they saw them living and expressing strength. And,
instead of understanding the meaning of the phenomenon of life, they
simply recognized the shape and form of them. That was a mistake.
 They worshipped many animal gods
until one day a Hierophant felt that this practice should stop. He
asked himself why the sun should be adored as Amon Ra. He started to
think about Life, why we are living and how we live. Amenophis the
Fourth (Amenhotep IV) got new insight in a state of ecstasy. His
nephew Khor Amon, also a Hierophant, agreed with him and together
they denounced the many animal gods and even Amon Ra. They said "God
is Life, infinite Life.". Instead of Amon Ra they adored Aton, the
one and only God, the Incomprehensible. In the old Egyptian language
Aton meant "incomprehensible". Amenophis gave himself a new name:
"Ankh-en-Aton" (the one beloved by Aton) and Khor Amon was to be
known as "Khor Aton".
They declared a new system of
worship - worshipping Aton, the one God, being everywhere, giving
light and heat to the sun and life to the human beings and the
animals. But the world was not ready for that. The High Priests of
Amon Ra, Anubis and the other gods did not want to lose their
importance and revenue. So they killed both; Khor Aton, by stabbing
him to death, and Ankh-en-Aton by poison. This is what always
happens to the pioneers who reveal the Truth.
If you study ancient civilizations
you find many (similar) stories, e.g. in the history of the
'Aztecs, the Incas, and the Hindus.
AnkhenAton, in ecstasy,
revealed the Truth and said "I feel Aton (God) within me, talking to me"
(as Super Intelligence). ~ DASKALOS
