I had my first major spiritual experience at fourteen. They say your conscience kicks in around the age of twelve but at fourteen mine was still not bothering me.

I came from a strongly religious home with high standards. The problem was the standards were so high no human could live them. I found myself living a split life. At home around my parents I was one person and in school and around friends I was someone totally different. Leading two lives was stressful but I could handle it.

In a small way I lied and I stole things. We were poor and I never had any money to buy what I wanted. I just took things. I was smart and able to get away with it. I remember going to confirmation class at church. It was a joke because I already knew all of the bible stories by heart. They had been read to us so much that I was sick of them. That was not the case for most of the other kids in class and they were having a hard time of it. I was easily the star student and favorite.

Forget the fact that I was sitting in class munching on candy. I had stolen money from the good will box and used it to buy candy to eat during class. Like I said, my conscience had not kicked in yet.

But the stress of living two lives kept building and my spiritual training kept putting more pressure on me to change. One traumatic night I couldn’t stand it any longer. It didn’t matter if God forgave me or not because I couldn’t stand to live with myself. My own personal standards were higher than what I was living and it was killing me.

I was not being true to myself and it led to a crisis and spiritual conversion. Perhaps this was the typical “born again” experience. All I knew was that I could not live with myself the way I was. I needed to change. I needed to feel good about myself.

That night in the darkness I prayed to God and the Cosmic to help me and guide me in all things. I vowed never to lie or steal again and I never have. Since that night thirty six years ago my conscience has been clean and I have remained true to myself. It is not always easy but it is the most powerful thing a person can do.

Later the Rosicrucians taught me that God or the Cosmic speaks through the heart and through the still small voice of the conscience. They called this voice the “Master Within”. This was my first exposure to the concept of internal authority vs. external authority.

FIRST GROUP OF ELEMENTS WITH SEVEN ELECTRON SHELLS

(in this study life span indicates the known half-life of the radioactive element or isotope of that element.)

Element #118 “unknown”
This is the heaviest possible element. If it exists it has seven complete electron shells around it. It would belong to the Noble
gases. Astrally it would share the characteristics of the noble gases and resist interaction with other elements. It would act as a barrier to astral travel. It would act to keep life energy within the physical body and protect the physical body from outside influences.

Element #117 “unknown”
The seventh electron shell of this element would be incomplete. It would be a radioactive metal with a very short life span, possibly only seconds. An astral body created of this element would last only seconds outside of the physical body before returning to it.

Element #116 “unknown”
The seventh electron shell of this element would be incomplete. It would be a radioactive metal with a very short life span, possibly only seconds. An astral body created of this element would last only seconds outside of the physical body before returning to it.

Element #115 “unknown”
The seventh electron shell of this element would be incomplete. It would be a radioactive metal with a very short life span, possibly only seconds. An astral body created of this element would last only seconds outside of the physical body before returning to it.

Element #114 “unknown”
The seventh electron shell of this element would be incomplete. It would be a radioactive metal with a very short life span, possibly only seconds. An astral body created of this element would last only seconds outside of the physical body before returning to it.

Element #113 “unknown”
The seventh electron shell of this element would be incomplete. It would be a radioactive metal with a very short life span, possibly only seconds. An astral body created of this element would last only seconds outside of the physical body before returning to it.

Element #112 “unknown”
The seventh electron shell of this element would be incomplete. It would be a radioactive metal with a very short life span, possibly only seconds. An astral body created of this element would last only seconds outside of the physical body before returning to it.

Element #111 “unknown”
The seventh electron shell of this element would be incomplete. It would be a radioactive metal with a very short life span, possibly only seconds. An astral body created of this element would last only seconds outside of the physical body before returning to it.

Element #110 “unknown”
The seventh electron shell of this element would be incomplete. It would be a radioactive metal with a very short life span, possibly only seconds. An astral body created of this element would last only seconds outside of the physical body before returning to it.

Element #109 “unknown”
The seventh electron shell of this element would be incomplete. It would be a radioactive metal with a very short life span, possibly only seconds. An astral body created of this element would last only seconds outside of the physical body before returning to it.

Element #108 “unknown”
The seventh electron shell of this element would be incomplete. It would be a radioactive metal with a very short life span, possibly only seconds. An astral body created of this element would last only seconds outside of the physical body before returning to it.

Element #107 “unknown”
The seventh electron shell of this element would be incomplete. It would be a radioactive metal with a very short life span, possibly only seconds. An astral body created of this element would last only seconds outside of the physical body before returning to it.

Element #106 “unknown”
The seventh electron shell of this element would be incomplete. It would be a radioactive metal with a very short life span, possibly only seconds. An astral body created of this element would last only seconds outside of the physical body before returning to it.

Element #105 Hahnium
The seventh electron shell of this element would be incomplete. It would be a radioactive metal with a very short life span, possibly only seconds. An astral body created of this element would last only seconds outside of the physical body before returning to it.

Element #104 Rutherfordium
The seventh electron shell of this element would be incomplete. It would be a radioactive metal with a very short life span, possibly only seconds. An astral body created of this element would last only seconds outside of the physical body before returning to it.

Element #103 Lawrencium
The seventh electron shell of this element would be incomplete. It would be a radioactive metal with a very short life span of less than three minutes. An astral body created of this element would last less than three minutes outside of the physical body before returning to it.
Life threatening situations where “everything is moving in slow motion” may be the result of the projection of an astral body created of this element working to resolve an immanent threat to the physical body.
It is also possible that life energy flowing through this astral body is responsible for our conscious awareness of things within our immediate environment.

Element #102 Nobelium
The seventh electron shell of this element would be incomplete. It would be a radioactive metal with a life span of possibly 58 minutes. An astral body created of this element would last about 58 minutes outside of the physical body before returning to it.
It is also possible that life force flowing through this astral body gives us conscious awareness of what is going on in our environment and allows us to “anticipate” events up
to an hour in advance.

Element # 101 Mendelevium
This element is radioactive with a life span of about 58 days. An astral body constructed of this element would exist about 58 days before deteriorating. Here we get our first clue about the role that these lower astral levels play in our lives. with each higher level the life span is seen to be increasing.
It is obvious that our individual awareness does not exist outside of our body for 58 days at a time. We are able to project and anticipate events this far into the future and to remember in short term memory this far into the past.
Tentatively we can suggest that the lowest levels of the astral plane concern our physical awareness and consciousness during normal waking hours. We have awareness of our immediate environment as we interact with it. We have the ability to plan ahead into the future both short and long term. We also have short term and long term memory that allows us to remember past events and learn from them.

Element #100 Fermium
This radioactive element has a life span of 100 days. Astral bodies or events at this level would deal with life events up to 100 days into the future or 100 days into the past.
Our daily awareness and planning three months into the future or remembering events up to three months into the past would naturally occur here.

Element #99 Einsteinium
This radioactive element has a life span of 276 days. This would deal with our conscious ability for long range planning into the future. It also would deal with more long range memory of important past events.
This is a natural break in the astral levels because above this level the characteristics of the elements change radically.
In summary this first group of lowest level elements have short life spans ranging from fractions of a second to less than 300 days. Since the human body contains trace elements of all elements within it, the human body also must contain the astral components of these elements needed to create a “resonant circuit”. Also the human body should have characteristics similar to those of these lower elements.
In fact, these lowest astral levels could represent the basic requirements for life as we understand it. Here is possibly the basic “instinct” for survival and the ability of an organism to interact meaningfully with its surrounding environment. Its ability to adapt to new survival conditions and to learn from past experiences. Also it’s ability to escape from life threatening situations.
On a higher octave these levels could represent humanity’s ability of self-awareness and our ability to plan future events as well as remember past events. These levels could represent our “attention” spans!
From the perspective of the earth’s resonant circuit and it’s tremendous “tank current” these levels would represent atoms or astral events that are rapidly deteriorating to the lowest element #118. These are events that are in the process of happening or have just happened.
Energy is in the process of leaving the astral part of the “resonant circuit” and entering the physical part of the circuit as a physical reality. The flow of all energy is toward element #118 which somehow transmits all of the energy into physical objects, possibly through gravitational waves that not only bring objects together but also bring people and events together.
“Astral” travels or dream “adventures” work against this natural flow of energy and require large amounts of energy from the physical body to sustain themselves.
In contrast the normal flow sustains “instinctive” awareness of the immediate environment and an ability to plan ahead in humans. It supports “physical” activity and survival.

SECOND GROUP OF ELEMENTS WITH SEVEN ELECTRON SHELLS

(in this study life span indicates the known half-life of the radioactive element or an isotope of that element.)

Element #98 Californium
This radioactive element has a life span of 900 years. As additional characteristic is that it emits high amounts of energy.
900 years is obviously longer than the human life span. This astral layer marks the lowest layer of what occultists call the “Akashic records”. As this is the lowest layer it is also the most accurate “record” of past and future events. It is at this level that we find our true destiny and path in life.
Events in this astral layer are not easily altered. This is where the earth has finalized physical events and it’s tremendous “tank current” locks these events in place.

Element #97 Berkelium
This radioactive element has a life span of 1,400 years. Here we find the probable events of the next 1,400 years. The earth’s “resonant circuit” is narrowing down potential future events into the most harmonious from its point of view. Seen from this long range perspective individual lives are not very important.
An exception to this would be the lives of very important and influential people. These few people have the ability to alter society and the face of the earth itself. For that reason they are important factors here. The earth demands that certain changes in society happen at certain critical time periods. It “empowers” certain individuals so they can achieve these critical changes.

Element #96 Curium
This radioactive element has a life span of 10 million years. Astral events recorded here would deal almost entirely with earth changes and not with life forms at all. The most successful and adaptable life forms would be represented and that would be all.

Element #95 Americum
This radioactive element has a life span of 7,400 years. It also has the characteristic of being super conductive at very low temperatures.
This is an interesting break in the “Akashic” records. In fact, this could be considered the beginning of “probable” future events. The lower “Akashic” records could be almost set in stone as far as a person’s ability to alter them.
This level being super conductive suggests that huge quantities of energy may try to alter the course of events.
This could very well be a battle ground where species collectively struggle against extinction and struggle to ensure their place in the future.

Element #94 Plutonium
This radioactive element has a life span of 24,100 years. It’s radiation is highly poisonous and it is used in atomic bombs and nuclear reactors.
The poisonous nature of this level suggests that here we may find the possible death of all species including our own. As much as we would like to believe that human life is special humanity can only exist as long as we can adapt to our environment. Here for example we could find life after a global nuclear war as well as life where nuclear war does not exist competing side by side as potential futures.

Element #93 Neptunium
This radioactive element has a life span of 2 million years. The large time span represented here represents what could happen in the next 2 million years if things continue as they are now. These global “events” are subject to change depending on the actions of humanity and other life forms on the earth’s surface. Here is where the natural course of events can be altered for millions of years into the future.

Element #92 Uranium
This radioactive element has a life span that ranges between isotopes. It could be as long as 4 billion years or as short as 250,000 years. It is highly poisonous and reactive with other elements. It is also the heaviest natural element found pure in nature. It is the main source of nuclear power.
This astral level has some very interesting characteristics that suggest it is a very critical level in the formation of possible future events. It’s highly reactive nature would allow many possibilities and options to be tried before selecting the most stable ones.
It is very possible that here self-determinism and will power can for the first time alter the “natural” course of events and where one person’s contribution can make a big difference. Here individuals can compete for critical roles in humanities future. The “will to survive” can empower heroic actions and discoveries.

Element #91 Protactinium
This radioactive
element has a life span of 33,000 years. Here are even more speculative versions of the future and of the past. Here are things that could have happened but didn’t. Maybe sometime in the future they will again be possible. Here also is a fine place for imaginary events and beings to be tried out to see if they are practical and realistic.

Element #90 Thorium
This radioactive element has a life span of 14 billion years. It is also the last of the “Akashic” records. Here is recorded the past and future of the entire universe. All events must find their proper place in the “Big Picture”. When our sun burns itself out something will happen to life on earth. Galactic events like this take priority over anything we can do.
The survival of the human race depends on our ability to be somewhere else when our sun burns out. Potential events like these are so far in the future that it has not been determined yet. This level offers a general map of the probable course of natural “Galactic” events that will shape our universe.

Element #89 Actinium
This radioactive element is known to “glow in the dark”. It is a silvery white metal. It is possible that “ectoplasm” is an astral body constructed of this element. In any event such an astral body would have a ghostly appearance to an observer.
This may be where the first formation of the “etheric” double takes place. The “etheric” double is said to be the heaviest “astral” body. Trained occultists are supposedly able to function at full awareness in this “astral” body and to have a complete memory upon return to the physical body.

Element #88 Radium
This radioactive metal is luminous and is under constant decay. It is used to coat luminous dials. It also releases large amounts of energy. This may also be related to “ectoplasm” and to “ghostly” encounters or astral visions.

Element #87 Francium
This radioactive alkali metal has a life span of 21 minutes. This just happens to coincide with the average persons “dream” adventures. An astral body constructed of this element would last only about 21 minutes. This could very well be the average dream body that we are all familiar with.

In summary the astral levels that correspond to elements with a seventh electron shell can be broken into five distinct sections that compare favorably with traditional occult science.

DIVISION I

The lowest division is that of element #118 which has a complete electron shell and directs the tremendous “tank” current of the earth’s “resonant circuit” into all physical objects and life forms. It is at this level that all astral events become physical reality through a gravitational force that pulls objects together and impels specific events to happen at specific times.

DIVISION II

The second division corresponds to life and an instinctive awareness of immanent events in one’s life. This is situational awareness and allows a life form to interact with it’s environment and survive potential life threatening situations. On a higher octave it may also relate to mankind’s ability to consciously think ahead and plan future events deliberately.

DIVISION III

The third division is that of the “fixed” “Akashic” records. These events are essentially set in stone and will happen physically. The massive “tank” current in the earth’s resonant circuit holds these events in place.

DIVISION IV

The forth division is that of the “potential” “Akashic” records. Here various combinations are tried out before the selection of the most stable and harmonious events. This area is essentially a “war zone” in the sense that entire species must struggle to maintain the right to exist. Those species that can’t adapt to changing conditions die. This is also where “key” figures in society’s advancement are selected. The “will to survive” determines who will live and who will die.

DIVISION V

The fifth division is that of the “etheric double” , ectoplasm and ghostly encounters as well as the “dream” body. This level is where the “astral” body first takes on individual awareness and participates in “astral” activities.

Of the seven possible astral bodies we are born with both the highest and the lowest already activated and functioning. In the last post I termed the Highest astral body the Holy Guardian Angel and the Lowest astral body the Shadow. Any activated astral body creates a secondary personality.

This means we are born with two secondary personalities in addition to our normal ego awareness as it develops. These are literally the angel and devil that sit on our shoulders whispering and tempting us.

It is not coincidence that schizophrenia results when the normal ego is weak and the “Christ” aspect or the “Devil” aspect attempt to take over our physical bodies.

These two secondary personalities are very important and each connects to a major cosmic power source. The “Christ” aspect or Holy Guardian Angel is linked to Spiritual Photon Energy. It can draw unlimited power from the cosmic and use it to create new things. It is the divine power of light and love.

When we connect and integrate this secondary personality we tap into the spiritual power resources of the cosmic itself. It is created from two bits of awareness and is archetypal in nature consisting of perceptions of self evident reality.

The “Devil” aspect or Shadow is linked to Earth energy. It can draw unlimited energy from the earth to manifest things physically. This is the Cosmic energy of manifestation. When we tap into this power source we are given dominion and power to physically manifest whatever we wish.

This secondary personality is created from thirty two bits of awareness and deals with organic awareness and sensuality.

The task of the mystic is to contact the Holy Guardian Angel and integrate it successfully into normal ego awareness. If the normal ego is not strong enough the mystic will loose touch with reality and become absorbed into the secondary personality. He or she will think they are Jesus or the Virgin Mary. Their normal ego can not withstand the cosmic energies that pour through the Holy Guardian Angel.

The task of the Magician is to contact the Shadow or “Animal Totem” and integrate it successfully into normal ego awareness. If the normal ego is not strong enough the magician will loose touch with reality and become absorbed into the secondary personality. He or she will become “possessed” by their “Demon”. The normal ego can not withstand the powerful earth energies that surge through the Shadow.

Of the 118 bits of awareness possible thirty four are already taken at birth and not available to us. That leave us with 84 bits of awareness to develop and integrate as our “normal Ego”. Even these will not integrate smoothly but form five separate astral bodies and secondary personalities. The only thing we have going for us is that these are not even developed but dormant. As we develop them we can also integrate them into an united personality.

Each bit of awareness can create thought forms or fetches. This is an advanced magic practice in one sense but ordinary in another sense. When you are trying to remember something and can’t you are really sending out mental energy as a thought form or fetch. It was created to bring back that memory or bit of information you desired. Later some time during the day or even the next day when you are busy doing something else you suddenly remember what it was. The fetch returned with the desired information. This common phenomenon is what magic thought forms and fetches are really about. It is simply done in a deliberate manner with different types of energies and astral bodies.

It is important the fetch or thought form be absorbed back into your body when it returns or it will turn against you and seek to become an independent secondary personality with a life and awareness of its own. The Holy Guardian Angel and the Shadow are both advanced thought forms that have complete astral bodies and their own life force that keeps them alive. This is why it is so dangerous to integrate them into the normal ego. Each one is more vital and powerful than the normal ego and absorbs it at first.

The absorbing of the normal ego is the death of the ego and the most frightening thing we can experience. In metaphysical literature there is a battle for the soul or normal ego. Both the Holy Guardian Angel and the Shadow are in a fierce combat trying to gain control over it.

Today we are going to talk about the Cathars. This melting pot of cultures in southern France after the failure of the Crusades created a new form of Manichaeism.

The church taught that only good existed, that only good was real and that evil was the absence of good; that only light existed, and darkness was the absence of light. We can hear these same things things today.

But the new Manichaean’s taught that evil existed and was just as real as good was; that darkness was not just the absence of light, but an important part of life itself. In fact, life began in the darkness of the human womb. They taught that man had both a physical body and a soul and that the physical body and the soul were in eternal conflict.

You can see this reemergence of the question of duality and dualism. This conflict of ancient duality was eternal and went back to the Godhead itself. The desires of the flesh were not sins because they were the gifts of the God of the physical world.

Give to the spirit those things that belong to the spirit and give to the flesh, those things that belong to the flesh. That is one of the concepts that these new Manichaean’s, the Cathars came out with. There was a strict division between things of the physical world and things of the spiritual world and you could not judge one by considerations of the other.

So there was no punishment for sin, and eternal damnation was just nonsense. The sacraments of penance and communion were invalid and just as ridiculous as if a dog were to bite a stone. People belonged to the dark side with their bodies and to the light side with their souls. It was that simple.

But the Bogomil’s that settled in southern France brought with them their own old Organic Gnostic beliefs that had been carried over from the goddess religions and Zoroastrianism. These ancient beliefs created their own division within this new group of people and was also centered around the idea of duality, but it was the duality of the Organic Gnostics. The Bogomil’s saw duality as sexual, as the physical embrace of male and female, and so it was one of the most sacred things that existed in the development of the human soul.

They believed of true opposites in an eternal loving embrace and this became the pagan religion of the uneducated common folk and the early stirrings of what was to become known as witchcraft. They established secret covens and celebrated their dark carnal sexual mysteries in the forests, caves, and on the mountain tops.

Remember the Rational Atheists and Social Enforcers lived in their heads, and the Social Enforcer especially was intent upon the development of the soul through the denial of the physical and immersion into the mental and spiritual energies.

So the more educated, intellectual, and mystical Social Enforcers became saints. They lived according to an unbelievably strict code of behavior and a mortifying asceticism. They denied their bodies and mortified their flesh. They were zealots and believers and they spread their spiritual beliefs with passion and conviction. They were considered saints and healers who could purify a person at the time of death simply by the laying on of hands.

So even within the Cathars you see a big split. On the one hand you have people retreating from the physical world because of the realness of a spiritual experience that went beyond what physical life had to offer. It’s too easy to think that one group was right and one was wrong.

The real thing is to validate that these people believed that the soul existed and the spirit world was real. But the soul as conceived and experienced by the Social Enforcers was created out of mental and spiritual energies. It did not contain the deeper emotions of the heart and lower passions. It was mystical and all in the head, but it was real. The soul had the ability to exist independent of the physical body.

But the Social Enforcers were not able to integrate duality. They maintained the distinction where black and white cannot mingle within the human body. The physical has its own life. The spirit has its own life. They do not mingle.

In contrast the Organic Gnostics believed in the integration of black and white, and the loving embrace of both dualities as male and female, and they celebrated that through physical love relationships. The soul was not only created, but strengthened and its powers were strengthened. The physical body was the temple of God.

These people were true magicians. They were working with magical energies, whereas the others, the Social Enforcers, had their own spiritual magic that involved the soul, but did not impact physical reality to any great degree.

The one thing both groups could agree upon was a fanatical hatred for the Catholic Church and its dogma. They were anti-Catholic, anti-Church and this united them together.

It caused problems that the church had to deal with and the Church did deal with them through the attempted genocide of this entire population.

In summary, the Cathars were split into two groups. One group believed in duality as the loving embrace of opposites and were Organic Gnostics and the other group believed in a strong unbelievably strict asceticism and renunciation of all things of the flesh. These were the Social Enforcers.

You can view this as the beginning of the left-hand path and the right-hand path where both recognize the spirituality of the development of the soul and its powers, but taking different directions while both being strongly opposed to the Christian Church that had been taken over by Rational Atheists.

Fear is a natural and healthy emotion that lets us know something is dangerous. There are two distinct ways we can respond to fearful situations. In the jungle a lion stalks its prey. Right before the lion pounces for the kill it lets out a fearful roar. The victim either freezes in terror or bolts like lightning. If it freezes in terror its dead. If it bolts in terror it might have a chance to live another day.

Several years ago I studied the martial arts and some of the behavior patterns were sinking into my subconscious. I liked going for walks in the country, especially at night. I would walk along the road next to a creek. One night I was walking along the road when a beaver slapped its tail in the water about six feet away from me. It sounded like a shotgun going off. I was terrified and jumped almost two feet into the air.

The interesting thing is that in mid air I managed to turn around to face the sound and came down crouching in a martial arts fighting stance. When the brain goes numb the body reverts to training. This is something the military knows very well.

In my terror my body responded the way it had been trained. This was a good thing. Now another example. Several years ago I was working a job in a casino as a security guard. We patrolled the entire casino and kept an eye on things. One of my co-workers was making her rounds in the pool area when a baby fell into the pool. The mother froze. All she could do was scream. She couldn’t even make an attempt to save her baby. My co-worker dived into the pool and rescued the baby without even thinking about it.

Again the body reverts to training. Training to escape, training to rescue or even training in self-defense are vital. This is the training that allows our body to function when our minds freeze.

There will always be fearful situations in life. We will at times experience fear. We don’t need to become paralyzed by it.

A very powerful type of self-empowerment is to confront our personal fears and learn to deal with them so they loose their ability to harm us. I am afraid of heights but I can go up on roofs if I need to. I am afraid of water but I have learned how to swim enough that I can save myself in most situations.

I have been afraid of intimacy within relationships but I am learning how to cope with that as well. Confronting these types of fears becomes the work of a lifetime. It is also one of the most rewarding things a person can do.

Magic Initiation involves the gradual development of the soul and its natural powers. The soul consists of several different types of energy. These are Abstract Spiritual (unity),Concrete Spiritual (intuitive),Abstract Mental (philosophical),Concrete Mental (perceptive),Upper Emotional (love),Lower Emotional (Anger),Sexual (sexuality), Physical (competency).

To become a complete person each of these energies and areas must be fully developed through intense effort and the generation of that particular type of energy.

This process is mechanical and cumulative in nature. Once a specific type of energy is fully developed an astral body is created out of that energy and the powers of that energy are available. Activity then progresses to the next level of development automatically.

In this respect the Left Hand Path and the Right Hand Path follow similar methods and strive toward a common goal. The common goal is the synthesis of all these energies into an integrated healthy individual with an immortal soul that will carry on beyond the death of the physical body.

The differences between these paths are profound. The Right Hand Path connects with spiritual energy and works from the top downward in mystical experiences or illuminations. It involves condensing spiritual energy gradually into physical energy. If you think about something long enough you will become emotional about it. If you become emotional enough about something you will be compelled to act upon those feelings. This describes the method used and includes prayer and meditation.

The Hallmark of the Right Hand Path is the integrity of the individual ego. You always remain yourself even though who you are may change drastically as you incorporate new beliefs and experiences. This path takes much longer and has difficulty with physical manifestations. Its focus is inner personal transformation and integration with the universe by adaptation.

The Left Hand Path connects with physical energy and works with physical competency upwards to the spiritual levels. The traditional martial arts are examples of this type of training.

The Hallmark of the Left Hand Path is physical manifestation through physical competency. You do what ever it takes to make things manifest even if those things go against your inner nature. There is always a sense of being compromised as you loose part of who you are to become who you want to be. The focus is to manifest physical change through acts of will.

At the highest levels a Master of the Right Hand Path will assist all students to become unique individuals. He will help them collectively through the formation of groups.

A Master of the Left Hand Path will choose one student to transfer his power to and at the death of his physical body will attempt to “possess” the physical body of his chosen student. He will form groups to find the appropriate vehicle.

ELEMENTS WITH SIX ELECTRON SHELLS

Element #86 Radon
This element is a heavy odorless gas and one of the noble gases. This element also has six complete electron shells. Because it’s outer shell is complete it serves as a natural barrier in it’s astral aspect. It resists attempts to pierce through it and is one of the veils mentioned in occult literature.
Because of the barrier it forms it also separates the “tank current” energy of the sixth and seventh electron shells. This effect is to separate “seventh chakra” energy from “sixth chakra” energy.

Element #85 Astatine
This element is extremely unstable and looses electrons readily. An astral body constructed of this element would also loose energy readily and be extremely unstable. We would not expect to find any lasting astral objects or beings in this astral level. In fact this level would act as a constant drain on any astral body that existed in the higher levels. This is true because any astral object or being is tied to its physical counterpart at all times. The “astral cord” would exist here instead of an astral body.

Element #84 Polonium
This element is a radioactive metal with a life span of 103 years. This would form a stable astral body and we would expect to find our “proposed” future life with all of its main events here. As the lowest stable level in this group this is probably the main level of the “dreaming” astral body where we dream of things that happened during the day or things that may happen to us in the future.
This level is probably the base of our individual egos and our concept of self. In the lower levels the concern is for survival of the species. Here the concern is for survival of the individual awareness.

Element #83 Bismuth
This is a brittle white element with a pink tint. It melts easily and gives sharp impressions for casting. The brittleness of this element would suggest that this level would not make a good astral body in itself but could be used to form personal armor and astral barriers and obstacles.
Since it melts easily it would be an excellent choice for astral creations during magical workings. It is probable that here the magician does much of his creative work by melting astral material and reforming it the way he wants. This type of astral “construct” could be expected to retain it’s form as long as it was “protected” by the magician until it became a physical event.

Element #82 Lead
This is a heavy bluish gray element that has been known and used by mankind for many years. It is a poor conductor of electricity and resists corrosion. It also has a toxic effect on humans.
These characteristics suggest that this astral level is not a pleasant place to exist in awareness. An astral body constructed of this metal would be best left alone. In fact, it is very likely that this level is responsible for our experience of pain! This is the first astral level of physical pain. Quite possibly a dull pain.

Element #81 Thallium
This element is a soft bluish gray metal that is toxic and is known to cause nerve damage. This astral level would also be related to our pain experience. As this astral level directly affects the nerves it suggests that this is the level of intense physical pain. The type that occurs immediately upon sustaining an injury.

Element #80 Mercury
This silver colored metal is a liquid at room temperature. It flows very swiftly and is extremely poisonous. The nature of this level also indicates that it is related to our pain experience. The quickness of this element indicate that this levels effects on us happens very rapidly. This is our first awareness of pain at this level. As our energy drains away our awareness drops to a lower level as either sharp pain or a dull throbbing pain.
Here is also a very important clue about how human life exists normally in the astral planes. Since we do not normally experience pain, it suggests that human awareness is above this astral level normally.

Element #79 Gold
This element is a bright yellow metal that is very soft and heavy. It is very beautiful and highly valued for its beauty and its durability. In this respect this is one element that we can’t seem to get enough of!
In contrast to the levels immediately below it, this level brings great pleasure to us. In the form of wealth and in the emotional sensation of pleasure. It has often been said that there is a thin line between pleasure and pain. This level gives us tangible evidence to that truth.
This is not just simple pleasure but a very intense type of pleasure. The most intense type of pleasure possible to experience. This of course is sexual pleasure. This astral level is where we experience sexual energy for the first time as a pleasurable experience.
Astral experiences at this level would be sexual experiences or possibly experiences involving Gold.

Element #78 Platinum
This is a precious silver white metal with a high melting point. It combines easily with other elements and resists corrosion. The desirability of this element suggest that it also is related to our emotional sensation of pleasure. Since it combines easily with other elements this astral layer would include all things that give us the sensation of pleasure with the possible exception of sex and wealth which belong to Gold’s astral level.
Astral experiences at this level would include many pleasurable things. This is probably where we find what is commonly known as “the elemental worlds” of fairies and nature spirits that are benevolent and kind. In reality all life forms found here would also have physical bodies to complete their “resonant circuit”. A fairy or nature spirit would belong to a human that is somehow distorted at that level. Perhaps they never had a normal childhood and that part of their personality never developed as it should.
Here the “child within” delights in playing pranks on others or in doing things not allowed in physical life. This is the realm of fantasy where your secret wishes come true. Here is the experience of enjoyment of life in all of its aspects.

Element #77 Iridium
This is an extremely hard white metal that resists corrosion. Being a hard metal suggests that it acts as a barrier to astral activities. Its resistance to corrosion suggests a protective function. This element as an astral substance would be ideal as armor or tools used block or restrain astral activities.
This barrier aspect suggests that is related to the emotions of being blocked and frustrated. Our happiness and pleasure is suddenly blocked by this hard barrier and we feel trapped and helpless for the first time. Perhaps we even feel fearful. We are no longer in control. Other people or events may control us against our will.

Element #76 Osmium
This element is a hard metal that is twice as heavy as lead. It is used for pen points and phonograph needles. Here is also a barrier aspect, but this level is related to communication, both written and through sound. In this astral level we are confronted by other astral objects and beings. We also communicate with them at this level for the first time.
Here we become acutely aware of societies wishes for us and what we must do to conform and keep our level of awareness as pleasurable as possible. Here we find societies barriers that limit what we can and can’t do.

Element #75 Rhenium
This silvery white element is noted for its high melting point and its resistance to heat. Astral objects and beings constructed of this element would be very resistant to efforts to change them. This then is an important source of strength and stability. Here is stamina and endurance against resistance. Here is our ability to freely choose what we want to do and the ability to do it. This is the foundation of ego strength. “I exist”. I will continue to exist.

Element #74 Tungsten
This hard silver white metal has a very high melting point and is resistant to heat. It is used as a heating element in some light bulbs. In this astral level also gives stamina and endurance and is an important source of strength and stability. The connection with light and illumination suggests that this strength is will power or strength of spirit. Here strength of spirit overcomes obstacles and barriers.
In the occult tradition the sixth chakra is related to both magic working and to the “berserker frenzy” that came upon the Vikings in times of battle and made them “invulnerable”. That tradition supports the concept of these astral levels dealing with stamina and endurance and overcoming obstacles and barriers.

Element #73 Tantalum
This element has a high melting point and refracts light. It doesn’t react with bodily fluids and seals itself when used in capacitors. These characteristics suggest a “healing” ability where injuries are sealed off and prevented from becoming physical events. Here for the first time harmful events are anticipated and any wounds or losses are minimized to prevent further loss of energy.

Element #72 Hafnium
This silver colored metal absorbs neutrons and resists corrosion. Since this element absorbs energy we would not expect to find many astral objects or beings here. We would instead find the “astral cord” or “cable” of occult tradition. It would take large amounts of energy to exist above this level because of its draining ability. Humans would have this ability and energy normally. Some life forms of a more simple nature would not have the needed energy.
Here we are prevented from doing what we really want to do through lack of energy. We settle into a decadent state where we try to enjoy the things we do have until we have the energy to get what we really want. This could be the level of depression and chronic inactivity.

Element #71 Lutetium
This heavy element is noted for its ability to conduct electricity. Astrally this implies the ability to give energy to others or to take energy from others. Here for the first time is the ability to change things in the astral by applying energy to them instead of by simply resisting them. Here the astral body or the “dream” body has energy to spare and it uses it to influence possible future events.
Astral contacts here would involve a definite exchange of energy from one person or object to another. Here is the first evidence of magical power as energy or electricity used for both offense and defense. We are rising above our depression and trying to direct astral energy into the astral events that we want in efforts to physically achieve them.

Element #70 Ytterbium
Very little is known about this element and its characteristics.

Element #69 Thulium
Very little is known about this element and its characteristics. It is used in some x-ray units suggesting that it radiates and gives off energy.

Element #68 Erbium
Very little is known of this grayish-silver element.

Element #67 Holmium
Very little is known of this silver colored metal.

Element #66 Dysprosium
This element is strongly attracted by a magnet. This characteristic is exciting because of its connection to magnetic vortex energy. Occult tradition has long talked of the “cone of power” that is raised during magical workings. That is also applied to the sixth chakra center energies.
At this astral level we would expect to find the astral ability to strongly attract things to us and also the ability to strongly repel things away from us. This is the battle ground for “astral duels” and other astral contacts. In our dreams we are helplessly drawn toward other astral objects and beings. When contact is made energy is exchanged and lost. This continues until one party reaches the pain levels and/or breaks the contact. The one with the most available energy will endure here.

Element #65 Terbium
This silvery metal glows green in certain compounds. Not much else is known about this metal.

Element #64 Gadolinium
This silvery metal is strongly magnetic when extremely cold. This characteristic suggests that this level will strongly attract and repel astral events and objects. This is another “magical” battle ground for astral “duels” where the one with the most available energy wins the prize. Here also magnetic vortex energy suggests the occult “cone of power” and its possible uses.

Element #63 Europium
Very little is known about this soft silver metal. Its softness suggests that astral weapons for use in astral duels may be created here.

Element #62 Samarium
Little is known about this element.

Element #61 Promethium
Little is known about this element.

Element #60 Neodymium
Little is known about this element. It is used in ceramics and lasers. This may suggest potential for astral weaponry.

Element #59 Praseodymium
Little is known about this element. It is used in ceramics.

Element #58 Cerium
This soft gray metal has an electron structure that is easily changed. This suggests that all astral events and beings found at this level can be easily altered at will. Here may be the true level of magical working where astral creations are deliberately fashioned.

Element #57 Lanthanum
This soft silvery white metal tarnishes when exposed to air. Here for the first time astral objects or beings or barriers can be destroyed. Astral material here will tend to weather and decay or age.
Steady resistance at this level will eventually wear an opponent down or destroy a barrier or obstacle.

Element #56 Barium
This soft heavy metal combines easily with other elements. This suggests that here all possible options are available and tried out. Here we find a way “around” the astral obstacles and beings that prevent us from getting what we want.

Element #55 Cesium
This soft silvery metal reacts vigorously to air and water and ionizes readily when struck by light. These characteristics suggest that nothing remains for long at this level. This would be a very draining level and require tremendous levels of energy to maintain awareness for any length of time.
Here we could find the destruction of opponents in astral duels as well as the simple “astral cord” or “cable” leading to higher levels.

In summary this group of elements with six electron rings represents sixth “chakra” energy. It can be broken down into nine separate and distinct categories.

DIVISION VI

This is the barrier or veil that separates fifth “chakra” energy from sixth “chakra” energy. It “isolates” the “tank” current of this group of elements and tries to maintain the stability of this level of the earth’s astral layers.

DIVISION VII

Here we find our “proposed” life span and destiny. This is not set in stone, but it does represent what the earth intends for us at this time and in the future. To change things at this level requires much work and energy.
This level is also the “foundation” of our sense of “self”.
At levels below this we find species “instincts” and awareness of our immediate environment. Animals also have “instincts” and an awareness of their environment but they do not have a sense of “self” as we do. At least not to the degree that we do. An animal’s sense of “self” is constantly evolving just as ours is but it would rarely go beyond the sixth “chakra” energies.

DIVISION VIII

This astral level gives us the awareness of pain. There are three types of pain, immediate pain from an injury, sharp lingering pain that will not go away, and a dull aching pain.

DIVISION IX

This astral level deals with sexual pleasures and wealth. Two things that are very closely related.

DIVISION X

The energies of this level deal with our general enjoyment of life and a full satisfaction of its many pleasures. Here we find contentment in life.

DIVISION XI

Here for the first time we are confronted by social restrictions. What we want for ourselves is in direct competition with what others want and whoever has the most energy wins.

DIVISION XII

At this level we develop Ego strength and will power to resist social pressures that want us to conform. We have the will to compete and fight for the things that we want in life. We make up our minds to battle against the odds to win. We willingly sustain injuries to get what we want.

DIVISION XIII

This level saps our strength and energy. We fall into depression and physical inactivity. If we can’t get what we want we won’t do anything at all. We are fiercely resisting societies pressures and we aren’t winning. This is a stalemate where society doesn’t win and we don’t win either.
The entire struggle is raised to the higher levels and tremendous amounts of energy are used up in this struggle.

DIVISION XIV

This is the level of magical power. We have gained our victories over the opposition in this “battle ground”. For the first time things are beginning to work out in our favor. Here we are able to destroy the obstacles that are trying to hold us back. We have energy to spare and we use it to get the things we want in life. We have the power to get what we want.

The general population fell into a great depression following the failure of the Crusades. God favored the Muslims over his own people, and it was unthinkable! Minstrels and troubadours sang melancholy songs about how God had betrayed them. The people were disenchanted by the Church and by Christianity.

Around this time the Bogomil’s moved out of Bulgaria through Constantinople and Italy and then finally settled into fortified areas in southern France after they had been decimated by Muslim armies.

Now I’m going to have to refresh your memory about the Bogomil’s. The Bogomil’s lived in that area of the caucuses, mountain regions, that is called Eastern Europe or the Balkans. I’ve been trying to trace the thread of Organic Gnosticism from that area to the present so this is a very important addition because the Bogomil’s where there in Eastern Europe long before Christianity. In all likelihood, they were influenced strongly by Zoroastrianism and various ancient goddess religions.

I believe that the continuing thread of Organic Gnosticism traveled with the Bogomil’s to finally end up in southern France. Now, southern France was the promised land for heretics. It was the classic ground of sorcery and witchcraft and it was from southern France that witchcraft spread across to all of Europe in later years.

Southern France was unique as a meeting ground of cultures. It was a melting pot of all kinds of races, cultures and religious beliefs. It was actually the highpoint of civilization at the time.

Southern France was filled with Jews and Saracens as well. Rabbis held public schools everywhere and formed bonds between Christians and Arabs through their trading exchanges in Salerno and Cordova.

Cordova was the seat of black magic where the arts and sciences were turned to criminal purposes, such as the creation of distillations, syrups, ointments, and surgical instruments as well as the study of Arabic numbers, arithmetic and algebra. In addition to those forbidden subjects the Kabbalistic teachings of Jews were a tremendous influence on the non-Christian population in that area. So southern France was the big meeting point as I trace Organic Gnosticism and its arrival in southern France with the Bogomil’s.

The Languedoc region had always been the hotbed of heresy and a problem for the Church that just wouldn’t go away. But it included the entire population in southern France. They were totally disenchanted by the teachings of the Church and now were being influenced even more strongly by other non-Christian beliefs.

We’ve already mentioned that the Social Enforcers were represented by Christians who were trying to establish moral teachings upon the population. The Rational Atheists were represented by Jews that didn’t really believe in an afterlife, but believed in logic and reason.

The Arabs were leading in the medical sciences and if anybody was interested in studying these things, they would study from the Arabs because Christianity had plunged the rest of Europe into the dark ages.

We hear a lot about the Languedoc region in southern France. There have been movies about that mysterious area and this is the area where a new form of Manicheanism developed.

Manicheanism existed centuries before and it got stamped out by the Church. But these same old ideas sprang up again among this new group of people called the Cathars.

Somehow Organic Gnosticism also sprang up again in the use of the energies of the physical body to develop the soul. In particular, Tantric practices and love relationships applied for the purposes of spiritual development and soul growth, and it was experiential. It appealed to the non-educated as well as to the educated elite.

We are also going to see how these secret Tantric teachings were incorporated into alchemy, and guess where alchemy had its start? Right here in Salerno and Cordova because this was the central meeting spot. This was the hub of activity.

This entire area was a great threat to the authority of the Catholic Church which was really having some bad problems at the time.

As we talk about distillations, syrups, ointments, surgical instruments and the study of mathematics and the other sciences you can just imagine the excitement that existed in that entire area. Just imagine the passion, the vitality that existed.

Especially in contrast to the repression. In contrast to the inquisitions that were happening elsewhere. This is where the excitement was. This is where the vital life force of the entire Western mystery traditions coalesced in a confluence of emerging sources.

But the important thing here is the reemergence of Organic Gnosticism and how it could very easily be traced to the arrival of the Bogomil’s into that area of southern France.

Sometimes our attitude sucks! Attitude is a mix of emotions and thinking. Said another way attitude is how our emotions and thoughts meet physical reality. When our expectations are realistic and positive our attitude is positive. When our expectations are unrealistic or negative our attitude becomes negative as well.

What I’m trying to get at here is the idea that attitude embraces the completeness of us at one time. Attitude is a reflection of who we are body, mind and spirit in a unified way at any given time. It reflects our true intelligence and will to live.

Using the metaphor of a robot there are two ways of programming a robot to do a task. One way is to write a computer program line by line and step by step. The computer will read the program and take the robot through the task one step at a time.

This way of programming a robot is roughly equivalent to mentally thinking a project or problem through before physically acting on it. Thinking before acting is a useful way of describing this way of dealing with things.

The problem is that sometimes we get stuck mentally or emotionally. Because our thinking is wrong or our emotions are clouding our judgment we are not able to function as well and we become frustrated. Our mind and emotions are not in accord with physical reality and our attitude sucks.

The second way of programming a robot is to place a programming device or sensor in the robot’s hand and physically move the robot’s arm through the cycle that is desired. The movement is recorded through the device and the robot is instantly able to repeat and perform the desired activity.

Let’s take a newborn infant as an example. The newborn child has no ability to move its arms or legs in a conscious or deliberate manner. No neural pathways have been developing within the brain for such movement. The mother or father plays with the infant moving its arms and legs.

This movement causes nerves to fire within the brain and nervous system and soon the infant learns to control its arms and legs by using the same circuitry within the brain. Physical movement created the neural pathway. Conscious intent used the neural pathway once it was created.

When we are stuck in life and can’t find our way out of a situation mentally or emotionally raw physical activity will burn a new neural pathway we can use. This is why people need to hit bottom when they are stuck. Hitting bottom forces raw physical activity just to stay alive. That physical activity allows a fresh start into new neural pathways. Hitting bottom will either kill us or force us to change our attitude!

An even better solution is raw physical activity without hitting bottom. We don’t need to hit bottom to change our attitude. All we need is to physically doing new things and grow through those experiences. A healthy individual finds joy and excitement in physically doing new things and learning new skills. This new knowledge and these new skills are what allow him or her to find continuing satisfaction and enjoyment in life.

The next time you find yourself stuck in a rut go out and try doing something new, something physical! Burn new neural pathways into your brain, pathways that work!

ELEMENTS WITH FIVE ELECTRON SHELLS

Element #54 Xenon
This element is an odorless gas and one of the noble gases. This element also has five complete electron shells. Because it’s outer shell is complete it serves as a natural barrier in it’s astral aspect. It resists attempts to pierce through it and is one of the veils mentioned in occult literature.
This barrier separates fifth “chakra” energies from sixth “chakra” energies. It also stabilizes fifth “chakra” energies.

Element #53 Iodine
This shiny, bluish-black element has an irritating odor and goes from a solid directly to a purple gas. Plants and animals require this element for life.
These characteristics suggest that astrally awareness at this level is a cellular or an organic awareness. Here is the base for awareness of the physical body. This is the beginning of ego as a physical being. Below this level we find the species instinct to survive at the lowest level. We also have awareness as “I hunger”, “I hurt”, “I feel Pleasure”. Here we have “I have a physical body”. “I must take care of it.”

Element #52 Tellurium
This element is used in alloys and semiconductor research. It is also used as a catalyst. These characteristics suggest that this level deals with possibly the nervous system and the sensory organs and with the way bio-electrical energy flows through the body.

Element #51 Antimony
This bluish-white metal is brittle and used to harden alloys. Its use on the astral plane suggests a barrier and possibly a form of astral armor.

Element #50 Tin
This white metal has long been in use by mankind. It is very useful in packaging foods and in solders. This elements close relationship to food and to electricity suggest that this level is very beneficial to us. We may draw energy and strength from other “food” or “energy” sources” here. This level is a life sustaining energy source.

Element #49 Indium
element is an extremely soft silver-white metal. This suggests that many astral objects and astral “bodies” are found at this level. They are supported by the level directly below it. If awareness reaches this level it is self-sustaining at this point. This suggests the formation of a permanent type of awareness, perhaps true “self-awareness”.

Element #48 Cadmium
This soft silvery-white metal is used for alloys and plating. It is poisonous. These characteristics suggest that this level is painful and also quite stable. We would expect to find a fairly permanent type of awareness and astral body here.
This level belongs to our “dark” self. Here we find all those things about ourselves that we don’t like. Later as we accept our “pain” and learn to value our “darker” nature we realize that it helps us to relate to others in a more humane way. Here we can empathize with others and feel their pain as well as our own. This pain is emotional pain and not physical pain.

Element #47 Silver
This precious metal is one of the first ever used by man. It is noted for its beauty. It is used in artworks and also kills bacteria. It is an excellent conductor of electricity.
This level belongs to our “light” self. Here we find all the things about ourselves and others that we like. We feel the emotion of love and joy. This is where the healing power of love overcomes illness. Here we really feel alive and vibrant. We are in “love” with life!

Element #46 Palladium
This soft shiny metal is used in surgical instruments and in white gold. This suggests both a beneficial state as well as a corrective, possibly painful experience. The bitter-sweet feeling of personal growth and therapy come to mind. We feel good about becoming more healthy even though it is sometimes painful to give up our old ways.

Element #45 Rhodium
This silvery metal is resistant to corrosion and is very reflective. It is used in mirrors and fine jewelry as well as electrical connections. Here we have purified our inner nature until we have become “bright and shiny”. We no longer identify ourselves with a physical body. We are more than a physical body, we are also an “immortal” body. We have an “immortal” spirit. This is the born again experience.

Element #44 Ruthenium
This element is used to harden metals and is very wear resistant. This suggests use as armor as well as barriers and obstacles. We find that life still throws barriers at us and we still need to resist them. We may be spiritual but we are still living in physical bodies.

Element #43 Technetium
This element is a good radiation source. This suggests that this level is another power source for us if we can reach it in awareness. This would be a type of “spiritual” power.

Element #42 Molybdenum
This hard silvery metal has a high melting point and an important trace element in plants. It is also used in some lubricants. These characteristics suggest its use as a defensive armor that allows troubles and problems to “roll off” and “not stick” to us. At this level no problems can really bother us.

Element #41 Niobium
This soft silver-gray metal is used in steel and in nuclear reactors. It allows neutrons to penetrate easily and withstands high temperatures. At low temperatures it becomes a super conductor of electricity. These characteristics suggest that this level acts as an energy sink.
We reach this level and we don’t try any more. We think that we are at the top. This is a spiritual plateau where we can’t seem to advance no matter how hard we try.

Element #40 Zirconium
This gray-white metal resists corrosion and is heat resistant. The only way to reach this level is by loosing tremendous amounts of energy in the level below it. This suggests that here is public service and public recognition. Energy is given to the world and the world gives energy back in return.

Element #39 Yttrium
This silvery metal is used in the electronics industry and causes the red colors in garnet stone. This is a higher level of public recognition and popularity.

Element #38 Strontium
This soft silvery metal is radioactive and dangerous. It burns with a crimson flare and is used in fire works. These characteristics suggest the “crash and burn” experienced by many celebrities. The public no longer supports their efforts. In fact, the public now opposes their efforts.

Element #37 Rubidium
This soft silvery-white metal is a catalyst and a fire hazard. It oxidizes readily in air and reacts violently with water. The destructive nature of this element suggest that this level belongs to public upheaval and revolutionary forces within the society struggle for supremacy. This is truly a battle zone where the individual battles against the full force of society.

In summary, elements with five electron shells correspond to fifth “chakra” energies. These astral level can be broken down into 17 distinct divisions. These energies are essentially emotional energies.

DIVISION XV

This is the barrier or veil that separates forth “chakra” energy from fifth “chakra” energy. It “isolates” the “tank” current of this group of elements and tries to maintain the stability of this level of the earth’s astral layers.

DIVISION XVI

Here is the foundation of physical and organic awareness. This is awareness that we have a physical body and must take care of it in order to survive.

DIVISION XVII

Here we face physical barriers and limitations on the astral plane. We struggle to overcome our limitations and the barriers the world places before us.

DIVISION XVIII

This level acts as an energy source that sustains our astral bodies. We receive energy from other astral “food” sources. We give our surplus energy in exchange for the type of energy that we need.

DIVISION XIX

Here is a complex astral world with complex astral life forms. These life forms also have physical bodies. At this level complex energy exchanges are worked out between different life forms to ensure their physical survival.

DIVISION XX

Here is the level of emotional pain and our “dark” self. We confront those things about ourselves that we are ashamed of and that cause us emotional pain. Here are our personal demons and our personal hells.

DIVISION XXI

Here is the level of emotional “love” and our “light” self. We feel good about ourselves and others. Everything is the way that we want it to be. We are in love. Everything is sweet and happy.

DIVISION XXII

As our personal development evolves we learn to combine our “light” and our “dark” selves. We find that we have a need for both of them. We do that here at this level. This is the level of bitter-sweet. The events of our lives are very intense and move us very deeply. We learn to love these “bitter-sweet” experiences.

DIVISION XXIII

After a while be begin to identify ourselves as spiritual beings and not as physical bodies. We have an immortal “soul” that does not die. This new perspective gives a “born-again” experience and we try to leave the physical world behind.

DIVISION XXIV

Even though we now think of ourselves as spiritual beings we still live in physical bodies in an imperfect world. We struggle to protect ourselves against the disharmonies of the physical world with its trials and sorrows. It is a constant battle to maintain our spiritual perspective.

DIVISION XXV

At this level we tap into a spiritual power source and use it to maintain and strengthen our lives. We find comfort and strength in our spiritual studies and meditations.

DIVISION XXVI

Here everything seems to go right for us. Trials and problems seem to pass completely us completely and have no affect on us at all. We seem immune to all negative influences.

DIVISION XXVII

This level is an energy sink and we fall into spiritual apathy. We think that we are at the top and that nothing is left to accomplish. We feel spiritual pride at our accomplishments and think we are better than others.

DIVISION XXVIII

Here we enter public service and achieve support and recognition from the public. We enter for the first time into the public limelight and we enjoy it.

DIVISION XXIX

At this level we are celebrities. The public loves us and we can’t do anything wrong at all. We are given power by the public to do things that normal people can’t do.

DIVISION XXX

The public removes its support and we are no longer popular. This is where celebrities “crash and burn”. We have a spectacular fall from grace. The energy that we have become used to is now given to someone else and we are ignored.

DIVISION XXXI

We struggle to regain the support and energy of the public by becoming political activists. This is the level of public upheaval and revolutionary forces. We pit our will directly against society in an effort to change society.
