As I reconnect with the old traditions and reintegrate the teachings I want to share some of the more important things I am becoming aware of, things that are important in this new cycle and important parts of Organic Gnosticism.
Perhaps one of the most important concepts is that the physical body is vitally important because it is the physical body that generates the energies that create the soul itself! In a way the soul is an extrusion of the physical body. Once the soul is fully formed and activated it can exist independently of the physical body, but until then a physical body is required for its maintenance and continued development.
Various religions in the past have alluded to this by saying that living in a physical body allows the soul to develop and grow much faster than without one. It is also mentioned that the difficulties and challenges of a mortal life cause more rapid development of the soul. These are all ways of saying much the same thing. It is the physical body that generates the energies that create and sustain the soul and the non-physical bodies.
A second concept is that the complete soul integrates seven fully activated astral bodies which are created from the following energies:
Unity or Abstract Spiritual: The energies of Unity are those of spiritual light and vital life energy which are available to all living things. This forms the 8th body or the Complete Soul.
Concrete Spiritual: These are the energies of the archetypal world. Here we find the basic blueprints of all creation which can be accessed through inspiration and direct illumination. These things are self evident and do not require logic or reason to understand them. We can access these spiritual things through prayer, meditation and study.
Abstract Mental or philosophical energies: These are the energies of creative thought directed in the formation of complex world views or paradigms that explain the world to us and in doing so, allow us to successfully navigate our integrated soul/body through physical life. This is where the power of logic and reason makes itself known as mental discipline.
Concrete Mental: It is these energies that grant us discernment of the physical senses and through them, an understanding of the physical world which we live in. In all things we should try to dispel the illusions!
Upper Emotional: While the mental energies may grant awareness and intelligence, it is the emotions that grant the richness of life and physical experience. Without the richness of the emotions life would not be worth living…these energies are often expressed through the arts such as music, painting, literature and other forms.
Lower Emotional: The lower emotional energies are even more important than most people think because anger, frustration and despair can be empowering when they cause change in our lives. When these energies are correctly used and developed they increase personal power through persistence and the development of the will and resolution. When you work at those things that are difficult mastery becomes possible and that is the only way to develop true mastery!
Etheric: These are the energies that sustain life itself within the physical body. In a very real sense these are the energies that create the physical body. They are the pattern or template within the DNA itself that unfolds energetically to create the physical bodies our souls reside in. This is where we tap into primal instincts and forces that fight to sustain life on this planet, within the human race and in our own physical bodies.
Elemental: At the deepest level these are the male/female polarities of the actual cells and molecules of our physical bodies which determine the gender of our physical body. This is the pure sex energy of the incomplete sperm or ovum that attracts or repels according to its nature.
So our physical bodies are capable of generating any and all of these energies on a daily basis. It is when we live in such a way that each of these energies is generated on a daily basis that we experience the greatest that life has to offer. It is through the act of living intensely that we develop our souls to the greatest ability possible. And it is when we generate these energies that we automatically attract the needed opposite sex energy to us to mingle with our own in love relationships.
Generating these energies will draw the necessary individuals and circumstances into our lives. It will allow us to be where we need to be at the exact time when doorways will open for us! That is why the body is the true temple of the soul!
