Ageless Wisdom: The Timeless Psychology
The seven centers or chakras play a key role in the evolutionary
development of humankind. Each of the centers is related to certain
types of incoming energy. When the incoming energy is not related to a
center, then that center remains relatively quiet, stable and
unawakened. When the energy is related and the center is sensitive to
its impact, then the center becomes vibrant and receptive and
develops as a controlling center in the life of the person on the
physical plane.
Each center corresponds to and motivates one of the endocrine glands:
|
Head
Center |
Pineal |
|
Center between
the Eyes |
Pituitary |
|
Throat Center |
Thyroid |
|
Heart Center |
Thymus |
|
Solar Plexus Center |
Gonads |
|
Base of the
Spine Center |
Adrenal |
In the average human today, the centers below the diaphragm are active
and functioning, as is the heart center. Many human beings are
responding to the results of stirring activity in the throat center,
while a much smaller number, in particular those who are gifted
clairvoyantly, are experiencing the activation of the center between
the eyes.
The solar plexus center controls the emotional life; the sacral
center, sexual activity. In the average person, incoming energy
follows a prescribed and circular route. The higher centers are cut
off from the lower centers by a "web" of etheric matter, blocking the
passage of energy directly between the pineal and the pituitary
center. A similar 'web" blocks the direct flow of energy from the base
of the spine center, the seat of the traditional "Kundalini Fire," to
the head center.
Clairvoyance manifests when the web of etheric energy lying between
the pineal and the pituitary begins to dissolve. This can happen
slowly, through evolutionary and spiritual development, or as a result
of shock or accident of some kind. Using chemical and natural
hallucinogens can also affect the webs, but unless the person has been
prepared for the sights, sounds, and beings encountered in altered
states the
results can be highly traumatic and even dangerous, if not deadly.
The phenomenon of "cosmic consciousness," or "illumination," that is,
the assumption of all knowledge as a consequence of a single "burst of
light" in the head, described by countless mystics over the centuries,
is a result of the dissolution of the etheric web separating the head
center from the base of the spine center, the seat of the Kundalini
Fire, the most powerful of the creative forces of the body.
When this takes place, the Kundalini Fire rises upward along the
spinal column, enters the brain, and joins with the head center. At
this point a psychic, spiritual, and psychological transformation
takes place in the person, who instantly becomes a different being. a
person now connected openly and consciously with the energy field of
the entire universe, to its sights, sounds and feelings.
This event takes place so infrequently among present day humanity that
the few who have experienced this will seldom talk about the
experience or even admit to its happening. When it occurs
accidentally, as it sometimes may through some accidental impact or
blow, or through drug stimulation, and the person is not prepared
physically and psychologically, the result is almost certainly extreme
psychosis, and more often, death. This is why certain forms of yoga
which concentrate on activating the Kundalini forces can be extremely
dangerous for the Western practitioner.
The experience described here is the basis of the ancient "initiatory
rites," and the "mysteries," in which selected candidates were
schooled over many years of preparation to undergo the "raising of the
Fire." When the time came, initiate priests activated the
transformation of energy. From that time on, if he did not die in the
effort, the postulate became possessed of superhuman powers, among
them the power to heal, to levitate matter, to leave the physical body
consciously at will, to call upon the forces of nature to accomplish
any act or purpose, and to create matter from energy.
In the wrong hands, these powers can be and were totally destructive,
as in the case of the downfall of earlier civilizations of humankind,
among them the cultures of Atlantis and Lemuria, the earliest of all.
The stones of the pyramids of Egypt and the great stone walls of the
Incas, as well as the monoliths of Easter Island were transported and
placed by the powers of the initiate priests who were able to practice
psychokinesis on a scale far beyond our simple laboratory experiments
of today. Absurd though this may seem, everyone who has witnessed a
metal key bending while in the company of Uri Geller must at least
accept the possibility of such an immense and awesome power.
The evolutionary developments within humankind over the coming several
centuries wi1l see the gradual stimulation and activation of the
higher centers. In time, when the throat center and the center between
the eyes have been fully awakened, clairvoyance and other extrasensory
phenomena will be commonplace. All children will be born with the
ability to converse telepathically, to perceive events at a distance,
to travel in time forward and back, and to affect matter with mind.
The cultural impact of these inborn powers will create a totally new
kind of civilization. International diplomacy and intrigue will
disappear, for every person will know the intentions of all others. A
new interdependence, compassion and concern for hurmankind never
before known, will evolve.
There are growing indications that this development may not require
several hundreds of years, but may now be a matter of only a few
generations.
