We can continue the metaphor of the atom and 118 possible electrons that encircle it. Each of the 118 fragments of awareness gives a specific sensory detail which adds richness to our perception of the world.
These electrons form rings or shells around the nucleus of the atom. The first two electrons form the first inner most ring or shell and create the elements hydrogen and helium. Using this as a metaphor for soul development the first bit of awareness possible is hydrogen awareness.
One bit of awareness is unity and only manifests to us as the spiritual experience of unity and life. It forms a sphere of light which awareness can reside in. You can’t do much with one bit of awareness because it has nothing to work with. But awareness can use this round sphere of light to travel through the cosmos. The addition of the second bit of awareness or helium awareness creates archetypal reality
The two bits of awareness work together like black and white to create images and three-dimensional forms. These bits of awareness create the highest astral world and the highest human shaped astral body. This is the source of the soul. This is the second gate that awareness tries to reach upon the death of the physical body. The hydrogen awareness is the first gate, the gate of unity.
The human astral body at this level is human shaped with no distinct features much like a balloon. It is just a human form. Occultists call this the body of light. It is formed from the energies of the third eye.
Two bits of awareness is all that the first inner shell can hold. It is complete and seals itself against all the rest. This barrier is what creates the great abyss of occult literature.
When integrated into the personality these two bits of awareness form the body of light and give Christ consciousness (helium) or cosmic consciousness (hydrogen). This is also the level of unity and the resolution of paradox were all things come together in a form of self-evident truth.
These two bits of awareness are spiritual energies and spiritual forms of consciousness which can be developed. There is also an astral world created out of these elements which exists in the outer atmosphere of the earth. This astral world is archetypal and consists of magnetic flux lines or tubes which electrons travel through. The human body of light can also travel through these tubes.
