“Those who don’t feel this Love
pulling them like a river
those who don’t drink dawn
like a cup of spring water
or take sunset like supper
those who don’t want to change
let them sleep…”

“Please know there are much better things in life than being lonely or liked or bitter or mean or self-conscious. We are all full of shit. Go love someone just because; I know your heart may be badly bruised, or even the victim of numerous knifings, but it will always heal, even if you don’t want it to; it keeps going. There are the most fantastic, beautiful things and people out there, I promise. It is up to you to find them.”

THE SEVEN BODIES OF MAN

In correspondence to the Laws of the Seven Planes.

Man has, first, his solid physical body of low-frequency vibrations (an instrument or switchboard through which he contacts physical things). It is made up of the material of the physical plane world, a body containing chemicals in liquid, solid, and gaseous state. This body is interpenetrated by another body which is its counterpart, and is made up of four of the ethers.

Secondly, he owns a body of ether which is constituted by a fine web through which the electric and radiating life forces are fed into his physical body from the outer universe. It interpenetrates the first body by reason of its higher and finer vibrations, and acts as an intermediary between it and the outer ether.

Thirdly, he owns an ‘astral’ or ‘ghost’ body, interpenetrating the other two, and having much the same high speed of movement like electricity, at which speed he can travel when polarized entirely in the astral body (as in sleep). It is in full action when he is roused, excited, afraid, or full of desire—these feelings being, as we know, sometimes quite divorced from and stronger than the reasoning of our physical mind. As previously mentioned, it is possible for man to separate his astral body from his physical body and wander about in it. Such an astral body can be seen by the astral eyes of another person, who will speak of it as a ‘ghost’.

Fourthly, there is his mental body, and well-known instances of thought-telepathy travelling right across the world in the space of a few seconds prove to us the speed at which we can function while in this body. We often hear of cases of people appearing to their friends at the moment of their death (dopplegangers), although living in a distant land. In addition, it is also why if we can contact the higher strata of the mind-world or Mental Plane by training the corresponding parts of our brains (as all the sages have endeavored to do), we shall gain inconceivable knowledge.

Man’s spiritual body is composed of the finest and most high frequency vibrations of all, and can for that reason take control of all the lower ones. It can travel so fast that it can appear to be ‘everywhere at once’. When man can consciously function in his spirit-body he is able finally to conquer time and space, which only belong to a seventh part of the universe, the Physical Plane.

It is very hard for present-day materially minded man to visualize these ‘planes’ and ‘bodies’. But he must not allow his brain to remain inferior to that of the early races. The people of Ancient Kemet (Egypt) were quite at home with this knowledge, and drew and named the different ‘bodies’ of man on tombs and Frescoes.

According to some authorities, they symbolized them as follows:

”KAT” – the Physical Body. Symbolized as a curled up dead fish, perhaps the most physical of all creatures.

”KA” – the Etheric double. Symbolized as the vehicle or holder of the body, by a breast and two upstretched arms.

”BA” – the Astral Body. Symbolized by a human-headed bird, a bird being a ‘traveller through space’.

The knowledge of these early peoples was astonishing! They understood so completely the power of mind over matter. One outstanding instance of this is seen in their feats of building, still incomprehensible to us. It is said that they were able to wield the spirit-force over astral and physical substance and create entities to attach to the tombs, to guard them for centuries.

Present-day scientists are busy exploding atoms with magnetic and electric force, but so far the results of their efforts have been dubious, because of the poisonous by-products produced.* Perhaps they are doing things the wrong way round, using physical-plane instruments of low vibrations to try to control higher vibrations. They might do better if they could train the only high-powered instrument they possess—the mind—as did ancient scientists. The true alchemists tried to use the burning force of the concentrated mind as the crucible in which they could distil the elixir of life from gold. (i.e. Monoatomic Gold)

Fire can burn up anything of lower vibration than itself. The mind can control fire, being of a higher vibration. There are many authentic cases of people who can contact fire without being burnt and can be pierced by knives without shedding blood. The mind can act very quickly on matter but the spirit can act instantaneously, rearranging the vibrations and re-forming them. This fact is probably the basis of the performance of ‘miracles’ and ‘faith-healing’.

It is natural to be skeptical about many of these things, but he who is wise will keep an open mind until he has fairly tested the various proofs available to him.

Mon, 22 Apr 2013 09:01:04 -0400

“You don’t ever have to feel guilty about removing toxic people from your life. It doesn’t matter whether someone is a relative, romantic interest, employer, childhood friend, or a new acquaintance — you don’t have to make room for people who cause you pain or make you feel small. It’s one thing if a person owns up to their behavior and makes an effort to change. But if a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries, and continues to treat you in a harmful way, they need to go.”

- Daniell Koepke (via sorakeem)

““There is no escape. You can’t be a vagabond and an artist and still be a solid citizen, a wholesome, upstanding man. You want to get drunk, so you have to accept the hangover. You say yes to the sunlight and pure fantasies, so you have to say yes to the filth and the nausea. Everything is within you, gold and mud, happiness and pain, the laughter of childhood and the apprehension of death. Say yes to everything, shirk nothing. Don’t try to lie to yourself. You are not a solid citizen. You are not a Greek. You are not harmonious, or the master of yourself. You are a bird in the storm. Let it storm! Let it drive you! How much have you lied! A thousand times, even in your poems and books, you have played the harmonious man, the wise man, the happy, the enlightened man. In the same way, men attacking in war have played heroes, while their bowels twitched. My God, what a poor ape, what a fencer in the mirror man is— particularly the artist— particularly myself!””

- Herman Hesse (via fuckyeahexistentialism)
