SACRED DISCS - CHAKRAS (see ETHERIC ENERGY CENTRES as well)

ETHERIC CENTRES, SACRED DISCS (EP 153)
Centres of energy and
activity (Sanskrit: Chakras) located at various points on the etheric doubles
of our bodies. Each of the three bodies, from the gross material to the more
refined, displays these centres, which correspond to organs of the material
body. These centres act as gates and storehouses for elementals.
ETHERIC CENTRES, SACRED
DISCS (ET 190)
Centres of energy and
activity --Sanskrit: chakras-- located at various points on the etheric doubles
of our bodies. Each of the three bodies, from the gross material to the more
refined, displays these centres, which correspond to the organs of the material
body. we must exercise care in working with these centres, for while it is
necessary for us to develop and awaken certain of them, others are the domain
of the Holy Spirit, the Archangels and the Logos --e.g. the "root"
and the heart centres-- and we should refrain from any manipulation or direct
interference.
DD 0l HEART CENTRE (ET 192)
Not simply the physical
organ but the spiritual centre of Mankind's Being. Man made in the image of the
Absolute Beingness as reason and love, our truest self, our inner sanctum,
through which the mystery of the union between the Divine and the mundane is
consummated. '1Heart" has thus an all-embracing significance.
Prayer of the heart means prayer not just in the emotions and affections, but
of the whole person. We should strive to purify this heart for "God
knoweth your hearts", writes Luke (16:15).
DD 10 Sacred Discs or Chakras (FH 298)
(These) are psychonoetic
centers on the etheric double of the individual. It is through chakras that the
human personality absorbs etheric vitality for its maintenance. Through
appropriate practices and meditation exercises the mystic tries to open his or
her chakras for the acquisition of psychonoetic powers. To a clairvoyant, the
chakras appear as revolving discs. The most important chakras are three. One is
at the solar plexus and relates to the gross material body. One is at the
heart, the center of the psychic body as well as of human awareness and
consciousness. The third is at the head and is the center of the noetic body.
These three centers must develop together for the maintenance and growth of a
balanced personality.
EP 10
It is a most
dangerous situation when uncontrolled hunger for psychical experience moves a
seeker to engage himself in strong exercises without first laying the
groundwork within the personality to cope with the ensuing experience. The
damage is often irreparable when an emotional immature student open certain
etheric centres (Sanskrit: chakras) and has neither the means nor the strength
to re-collect himself. We must be well grounded, rooted in love and faith.
" If the roots be holy, so are the branches" (Rom.ll:16).
ET 34
In the human body
we have the head and the heart, which express thought, reason and love --Christ
Logos-- and the solar plexus, which provides power and instinctive intelligence
--Holy Spirit--.
ET 126 Just as the material body has various
organs serving one purpose or another we see certain etheric centres of energy
in positions corresponding to those organs in the gross material body. These
centres serve a dual function. In one way, they take care of the maintenance of
the organs situated in that part of the body. In another mode they act as links
between the material body of a human personality and the psychic body, in order
to channel emotions and energy, as they arise as a result of space-place-time impressions. These points are known
as etheric or psychonoetical centres.
ET 126 On the gross material body's etheric
double, we have psycho-noetical centres, which we call "sacred
discs". In the etheric double of the psychic body we have, once again,
these psycho-noetical centres, but they are more intense in their activity. We
call them "sacred spheres". Finally in the etheric double of the noetical
body, there are even more active centres with a wider concept of space and
time. St. John, in the Revelations, refers
to these as "stars" (Rev. 1:16,20).
ET 126 One sacred disc is located at the lower
end of the spine at the point where the sacrum is situated. It resembles a red
snake with seven coils with its head pointing up the spinal column. Yet
although it looks like a snake, it is really of fire. It is the primordial fire
within both the material body and its etheric counterpart, which energizes our
existence. According to the Scripture it is the "flaming sword which
turned every way" of the Archangel Michael (Genesis 3:24), with which the
first human were expelled from the Garden of Eden into the worlds of
separateness. It is not permitted to say more about this centre, because the
awakening of the primordial fire within the material body can burn the entire
etheric double of the human being and result in the death of the material body.
Only high initiates should concern themselves with this centre.
ET 127 Another sacred disc, which also belongs
to the jurisdiction of the initiates, is situated near the soles of the feet.
The awakening of this disc can attune the personality to very low vibrations,
which create a hellish environment. An initiate may energize this disc in
circumstances where he wishes to help entities who have been cast down to very
low levels of the psychic world.
Another sacred disc, often
termed the "root chakra" located in the area of the genitals, is a
seat of the Holy Spirit and the Archangels in their creativeness. This centre
is under their wise care and we should refrain from any manipulation of it.
Through procreation, we work --most of us subconsciously-- as partners with
the Archangels in co-creation; a great and holy privilege and responsibility.
ET 128 Higher up is another central disc,
which is at the point of the solar plexus and is the storehouse of vital energy
and the doorway to the psychic world. Many Intelligences are at work here.
Under the guidance of sound teachings, it is permissible to cultivate this centre for work in healing and for
responsible exosomatosis.
The disc which is most
important to us is centered on the heart. It is the most sacred of the discs
and constitutes the centre of self-awareness.
It is primarily the seat of the Logos, with the Holy Spirit and the
Archangels playing secondary roles in the development of self-awareness;
"That Christ may dwell in your hearts,
by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love..." (Eph.
3:17).
This centre will develop
naturally at the discretion of the Logos, as we develop our entire personality
harmoniously. We should never, therefore, practise any special exercises or
meditations which concentrate on the heart. The gentle and slow purification of
this disc, is nevertheless, of great importance to us, because it leads us to
Super-consciousness.
Situated in the centre of
the head there is another disc with two centres. This is the seat of Logoic
Super-conscious self-awareness, as Love and Reason.
ET 128 Slightly above the liver and the spleen,
we have two other power centres, which affect the gross material body. Awakening
these produce certain material and psychic powers, which an initiate should use
for the appropriate purposes. Further up, on the shoulders, there are two other
sacred discs to be discussed in more advanced work.
ET 129 These forces (in the sacred disc),
therefore, must be approached with awe, because they can cause as much
difficulty as benefit. And let us not forget that any power, however much good
it can bring, can also give rise to just as much evil if the hands which are
directing it are not clean. Let us stand firm in the good!
