cording to the activity of that force in the etheric body, according to the aliveness or the sluggishness of the most important parts of the etheric body (the centres up the spine) so will be the corresponding activity of the physical body. similarly and symbolically, according to the wholeness of the breathing apparatus, and according to the ability of that apparatus to oxygenate and render pure the blood, so will be the health or wholeness of the dense physical body. it should also be remembered that the key to the just response of the lower to the higher, lies in rhythm, and in the ability of the physical body to respond or vibrate in rhythmic unison with the etheric body. students have found out that this is much facilitated by steady even breathing, and the majority of the breathing e

he order in which they are given by patanjali, and so see to it that the purificatory process, the discipline of the outer and inner life and one-pointedness of the mind should be aimed at, prior to attempting the regulation of the etheric vehicle through breathing, and the awakening of the centres. the work done through pranayama might briefly be stated to be the following: 1. the oxygenation of the blood and hence the cleansing of the blood currents and consequent physical health. 2. the bringing of the physical body into a vibration synchronous with that of the etheric body. this results in the complete subjugation of the dense physical body and its bringing into line with the etheric body. the two parts of the physical vehicle form a unit. 3. the transmission of energy via the etheric

that is the sphere of its next activity. the vegetable kingdom is liberated into another evolutionary process altogether, and its lives pass into the so-called deva, or angel, evolution. hence the wind and the insect world are its agents, just as man and the agency of water are the initiators of the animal world. the secret of release for the animal nature is hidden in the "watery nature" this is the blood aspect, and in the shedding of the blood, esoterically understood, lies the clue to the liberation of the animal kingdom. hence certain initiatory processes are working out on a large scale in the shedding of blood through the slaughter of the animal form of the human being in the great war, for instance. in the war the blood of thousands was poured out upon the soil, and from the standp

eloped sense of awareness which produces an inner demand for improved equipment. the improving of equipment as a result of the demand of consciousness is the secret of the evolutionary impulse, down the ages. this inner demand in man awakens the centres, and the awakening of the centres determines the response of the endocrine system, governs the nervous system in its threefold capacity, and also the blood stream. thus the outer form or mechanism is ever an indication of the point of evolution of the inner subjective and spiritual man. the secret: this is called, in esotericism "the secret of translation. i might bring the general concept underlying those words down to the intelligence of the average student by telling him that when a man really understands the elevating power of the aspir

the normal tendency to go too far. fortunately, we are never able to get too far from divinity; and that, as a race, we shall swing back into a state of greater spirituality than ever before is the sincere belief of all who know. theology over-reached itself with its "miserable sinner" complex and its emphasis upon the necessity for the purification by blood. this teaching of purification through the blood of bulls and of rams (or lambs) was part of the ancient mysteries, and was inherited by us primarily from the mysteries of mithra. these mysteries, in their turn, inherited the teaching, and thus formulated their doctrine, which christianity absorbed. when the sun was in the zodiacal sign of taurus the bull, the sacrifice of the bull was offered as a forecast of that which christ came la

gn, pisces the fishes, and it is for this reason that we eat fish on good friday, in commemoration of his coming. tertullian, one of the early church fathers, speaks of jesus christ as the "great fish" and of us, his followers, as the "little fishes" these facts are well known, as the following extract will indicate "the ceremonies of purification by the sprinkling or drenching of the novice with the blood of bulls or rams were widespread, and were to be found in the rites of mithra. by this purification a man was `born again' and the christian expression `washed in the blood of the lamb' is undoubtedly a reflection of this idea, the reference thus being clear in the words of the epistle to the hebrews `it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins' in this

he thought of the entire race. we have a situation wherein the law and the church and the educators of the race are almost entirely occupied with sin and how to prevent it. one wonders sometimes what the world would have been like today if the exponents of the christian faith had occupied themselves with the theme of love and loving service instead of with this constantly reiterated emphasis upon the blood sacrifice and upon the wickedness of man. the theme of sin runs naturally and normally throughout human history; and the effort to expiate it, in the form of animal sacrifice, has always been present. the belief in an angry deity, who exacted penalties for all that was done by man against a brother, and who demanded a price for all that was given to man as a product of the natural proces

s it and motivates it with life and intelligence. certain basic premises are recognised and can, therefore, be very briefly mentioned: 1. the soul informs the mechanism in two ways and through two points of contact in the body: a. the "thread of life" is anchored in the heart. the life principle is there to be found, and from that station it pervades the entire physical body through the medium of the blood stream, for "the blood is the life. b. the "thread of consciousness" or of intelligence is anchored in the head, in the region of the pineal gland, and from that station of perception it orders or directs the physical plane activities, through the medium of the brain and the nervous system. 2. the directive activity of the soul, or its authoritative grasp upon the mechanism of the body

whence certain aspects of the nervous system are directed and controlled, first by mental influence and then by conscious soul direction. b. the endocrine or glandular system, acting under impulses entering the physical body via the seven centres in the etheric body; of these centres, the glandular system is simply the externalisation, or physical counterpart. the glands condition the man through the blood stream- 264- a treatise on the seven rays- volume ii: esoteric psychology ii copyright 1998 lucis trust being in their turn conditioned by the centres. c. the solar plexus, directing and controlling certain aspects of the nervous system, and which is in large part the instinctual or animal brain. d. the heart, the centre of life. 2. the vital or etheric body. this is the major energising

(except in the head and face) can esoterically be traced to the congestion of the energy of the solar plexus centre. this congestion has a general and widespread effect. difficulties arising from the awakening of the heart centre and the solar plexus centre (for the two are closely allied and have a reciprocal action for a long time in the mystical experience) produce also a powerful effect upon the blood stream. they are connected with the life principle which is ever "carried upon the waves of desire (as the ancient writings put it) and this, when prevented from full expression, through lack of development or other causes, leads to cancerous areas in the body wherever there is a weakness in the bodily tissue. f. the awakening of the sacral centre is of such ancient origin that it is not

consecrated to group service and to the welfare of humanity. the average aquarian upon the mutable cross will be, for instance, a faithful employee, the adherent and worker in some firm or business within whose limits all his interests are confined and to whose welfare all he has is consecrated. upon the fixed cross this consecration to others becomes world service. aquarius, we are told, governs the blood system and its circulation. by means of the blood, the life force is distributed throughout the entire human body. it is, therefore, symbolic of the task of the liberated aquarian who dispenses spiritual life throughout the fourth kingdom in nature. the aquarian influences are felt also as life-giving in other forms of planetary life and other kingdoms in nature but with these we will no

al forces. scorpio governs "the initiates" which is the true esoteric name of man, and through its hierarchical planetary ruler, the sons of mind, the messengers of deity are revealed, but it is through mars and the martian activity that the revelation comes about. secondly, mars is closely related to sex, which is an aspect of the pairs of opposites, and its effect is also definitely to vitalise the blood stream; it vitalises, purifies and stimulates all aspects and organisms in the body, via the blood stream. it will be obvious to you, therefore, how the tests in scorpio and the activity of mars are potent to arouse the entire lower nature and bring about its final rebellion and the last stand, so to speak, of the personality against the soul. it is mars who brings the world arjuna into

he soul. it is mars who brings the world arjuna into the active fight. the whole man is then engaged and the "quarrel of the sexes" is resolved in its highest aspect through the battle between the highly developed personality or form nature and the soul which seeks to be the ultimate controlling factor. the colour assigned to mars is, as you know, red and this is a correspondence to the colour of the blood stream and hence also the association of mars with passion, with anger and a sense of general opposition. the sense of duality is exceedingly powerful. hence also the necessity for the entire life of man (for the blood is the life in this sense) to be swung into the conflict, leaving no side of human nature uninvolved; hence again the need for the disciple to carry his physical nature, h

in the need for the disciple to carry his physical nature, his emotional or desire nature and his mental processes up into heaven. this takes place as a consequence of overcoming the "serpent of evil (the form nature with its promptings and demands) by the means of the "serpent of wisdom" which is the esoteric name oft given to the soul. in connection with the symbolic connection between mars and the blood, producing the resultant conflict between life and death (for scorpio is one of the signs of death, it is interesting to note that christianity is governed by mars. one is apt to recognise with ease that the sixth ray- 127- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iii: esoteric astrology copyright 1998 lucis trust working through mars, rules christianity. it is a religion of devotion, fanati

le emphasis has been laid nevertheless upon the influence of mars upon christianity, making it a definitely militant religion, oft cruel and sadistic (as witness the murders and tortures carried out in the name of christ, who was the outstanding representative of god's love. throughout the teaching of christian theology, the theme of blood runs ceaselessly and the source of salvation is laid upon the blood relationship and not upon the life aspect which the blood veils and symbolises. it is the creed of a crucified and dead christ which rules christianity and not that of the risen master. one of the reasons for this travesty of the truth has been that st. paul, that great initiate, prior to taking the third initiation which he did at the time he was functioning as related in the acts of th

n of the christian teaching and deflected its energy into channels of teaching which its founder had never intended. such is often the undesirable effect of the activities of well-meaning disciples upon the work which they undertake to carry on after the originator of some work for the hierarchy passes over to the other side through death or relinquishes his task in order to take up other duties. the blood theme and the death theme, the suffering and the dire testing of the disciple, the value of the individual conflict and the consciousness of the misery of existence are basically due to the combined influences of scorpio and of mars which have ruled christianity for so long and which are only now beginning somewhat to lose their influence. a study of the processes of death as the sign sc

one main objective. this is to vitalise and energise the physical body and thus integrate it into the energy body of the earth and of the solar system. it is a web of energy streams, of lines of force and of light. it constitutes part of the vast network of energies which underlies all forms whether great or small (microcosmic or macrocosmic. along these lines of energy the cosmic forces flow, as the blood flows through the veins and arteries. this constant, individual human, planetary and solar circulation of life-forces through the etheric bodies of all forms is the basis of all manifested life, and the expression of the essential non-separateness of all life. 3. the astral or desire body (sometimes called the emotional body) is the effect of the interplay of desire and of sentient respo

evolution which the man has reached; they are vital and active or non-vital and inactive, according to the condition of the centres. they demonstrate a sufficiency, an oversufficiency or a deficiency, according to the condition of the etheric vortices. again, the process of control may be stated to be via the nervous system; the close interlocking directorate of the nervous system, the brain and the blood stream (as a carrier of the life principle) governs the activities of the man conscious, sub-conscious, self-conscious, and finally, super-conscious. the three centres in supreme control today for the majority are: 1. the ajna centre, the centre between the eyebrows. 2. the solar plexus. 3. the sacral centre. eventually, when man will have "become that which he is (that paradoxical esote

glands produce a blood-composition corresponding to that produced by them when a particular emotional state is giving its special stimulus, the individual will experience the physical sensations associated with the corresponding emotional state. his mind will proceed to adjust itself to these conditions by accounting for them through the imagination as best it may. so that if there is a state of the blood characteristic of the condition of fear, fear-images will arise in the mind. it is upon this basis that the organic insanities produce their characteristic mental states. whether the emotional state be due to a mental cause or a physical cause, the result is the same for the patient. organic insanities are distinguished from functional ones solely by their origin. an organic insanity ten

es as those departed human beings to the necromancer, and these spirits may indeed possess valuable occult knowledge, or know of things that are hidden. there are two necessary aspects to necromancy. the calling of the shade, and the compelling of the shade. in ancient times these were combined. for example, odysseus, the hero of homer's odyssey, called back shades from the underworld by spilling the blood of sacrificed beasts into a trench in the ground, then compelled the shades to speak by preventing them with his drawn sword from drinking the vital essence of the blood. spirits are vulnerable to cold steel. you may say that the odyssey is only a fable. true, but in the age of homer there were many necromancers in greece. homer was an intelligent and well-informed man. his description o

s were popular with necromancers because the ground was literally saturated with blood. in previous centuries wars were fought with swords. sometimes soldiers struggled ankle deep in blood. since this was the place of their deaths, the restless shades of slain soldiers were believed to haunt any field where a battle had been fought. this made a battlefield, particularly a recent battlefield where the blood was still fresh, an even better place to work necromancy than a graveyard. necromancy was not solely man's work. there were female necromancers in ancient greece and rome, who are usually referred to, under the much abused umbrella term, as witches. the term witch has been far too broadly applied in english texts to anyone who worked, or was believed to work, evil by magic. necromancy wa

DONALDTYSON VAMPIRES

? in older folk tales, a vampire was someone who had lived a very wicked life, and was cursed for his or her evil deeds by being bound to the grave, and forced to wander the earth in search of fresh blood- in this way a vampire could be created without having first been bitten by another vampire. a recent variation on the myth is that a vampire can only be created if the person bitten also drinks the blood of the vampire. this seems to have no historical foundation in folk tales. movie vampires are physical beings who nonetheless possess the power to dematerialize into mist, or change their shape into various creatures of the night, such as the bat and wolf. in the form of mist they can exit and enter their graves through minute cracks in the ground. they cannot see their reflections in mi

t the souls of men enjoyed no repose, but wandered about near their carcasses as long as they continued unburied. even after they were buried, it was a custom to offer them something to eat, especially honey, upon the supposition that after having left their graves, they came to feed upon what was brought them. they believed also, that the demons were fond of the smoke of sacrifices, of music, of the blood of victims, and the commerce of women; and that they were confined for a determinate time to certain houses or other places, which they haunted, and in which they appeared. they held that souls, when separated from their gross and terrestrial bodies, still retained a finer and more subtle body, of the same form with that which they had quitted; that these bodies were luminous like the st

ctly forbidden anyone belonging to one tribe to marry into another tribe because it was known then by the leaders of humanity that the strange blood would kill something; it always does. we read that adam and methuselah lived so many centuries; at that time it was the custom to marry in the family, marry as closely as possible, so that the tie of blood might be as strong as it could be made. then the blood that coursed through the veins of the people in that family contained the pictures of all that had happened to the different ancestor; these were stored in the mind which is now subconscious. then they were consciously and constantly before the inner vision of all people, and each family was united by this common blood wherein the pictures of their ancestors lived. the sons saw the life

.to mix blood with another man was always deemed to be a ceremony of binding force which created a brotherhood: to partake of the blood of any animal was thought to confer something of the nature of the slain animal, and so men of ancient times, and some savages of our own times, have eaten the flesh and have drunk the-blood of their greatest chiefs to secure like powers of courage and dominance: the blood of slain enemies was also drunk to complete the vanquishment. in analogous manner has arisen the drinking of red wine as an emblem of the blood of the revered one, whose spirit and divine principles it is desired to partake of. similarly again to offer voluntary suffering in imitation of the sufferings of a great exemplar has been deemed to confer great spiritual advantage.thechurch fath

nusually clear and explanatory.especially for our work. first of all, we see how the nutrition from food is taken into the circulatory system. at the side of the chart we see the vessels which lead from the intestines. these connect with the liver. in this way all nutrition from the food we eat passes to the liver. here it is filtered, purified, and formed into what we call "negative elements" of the blood. from the liver these "negative elements" pass into the principal vein carrying blood to the heart. however, all fatty elements.which are separated from food in the process of digestion and assimilation in the intestines.do not enter the liver but pass through the so-called "thoracic duct" and go directly to the heart to form "lymph elements" this is plainly shown on the chart. now the "

led "capillaries" the negative blood must, therefore, return once more to the heart and from there be sent again to the lungs to be vitalized with a new positive polarity. this is a continuous process. in our various breathing exercises we attempt to take more of the positive elements into our body than in the normal process of breathing. all the negative elements in the body will absorb, through the blood, as much positive vitality as we take in through breathing. in normal breathing, or what we should call subnormal breathing, we merely take in a small amount of the positive, which reaches the negative cells of the blood and charges only a small portion of the negative with the positive. by deeper breathing, or by holding the breath, as explained in our monographs, we cause more of the n

h positive vitality as we take in through breathing. in normal breathing, or what we should call subnormal breathing, we merely take in a small amount of the positive, which reaches the negative cells of the blood and charges only a small portion of the negative with the positive. by deeper breathing, or by holding the breath, as explained in our monographs, we cause more of the negative cells of the blood to become charged with the positive vitality of the air and thereby make our blood stronger or greater in its vitality. other breathing exercises show us in our lessons how we can take on an additional amount of positive energy for psychic experiments and for special healing work. all of this, of course, is explained in detail in the monographs [86] chart 3 [87] explanation of chart 3 pr

h the positive vitality of the air and thereby make our blood stronger or greater in its vitality. other breathing exercises show us in our lessons how we can take on an additional amount of positive energy for psychic experiments and for special healing work. all of this, of course, is explained in detail in the monographs [86] chart 3 [87] explanation of chart 3 principal arteries in our use of the blood for healing purposes, as well as for all mystic or psychic purposes, we deal with the vitalized or positive blood. this is the blood which travels through the arteries of the human body. arteries carry the blood, the vitalized blood, from the heart to every part of the body to carry on the constructive work of nature. veins, on the other hand, return the devitalized blood to the heart, a

l healing work, where the hands are used, takes advantage of the natural radiation of power from these arteries. in the hands of each person there are arteries as well as veins, and it is from the arteries that the hands receive their vitality as used in all healing work. part of this vitality is the natural health and life of the physical body and part of it is the psychic power which is also in the blood and generated by the blood. in the monographs and lessons of the sixth degree many references are made to methods whereby the blood can be stimulated or increased in vitality in certain parts of the body through certain methods known only to rosicrucians. that is why this chart becomes very interesting and helpful in the sixth degree work. it is easy to understand how the vitalized blood

ple with its cohesive power or ability of holding together represents the whole of the human body with all its bones and flesh. now the question will arise were and how akasa or the etheric principle occurs in the grossly material body. in doing some deeper thinking, everybody will be able to answer this question by himself, for the etheric principle is hidden in its most grossly material form in the blood and in the seed and in the reciprocal action of these two substances in the vital matter or in the vitality. as we have learned, the fiery element produces the electrical and the water element the magnetic fluid. each of these fluids has two-pole radiations, an active and a passive one, and the mutual influences and interactions of all the radiations of the four poles resemble a tetra-po

emental substance. it is quite different with conscious breathing. if we put a thought, an idea or an image, no matter whether it s concrete or abstract, in the air to be inhaled, it will take in the akasa principle of the air concerned and convey it through the electric and magnetic fluids to the air substance. this impregnated air will play a double role when it is conveyed to the lungs through the blood vessels. in the first place, the material parts of the elements are destined to preserve the body; secondly, the electromagnetic fluid, charged with the idea or the image, will lead the electromagnetic air colored with the idea from the bloodstream through the astral matrix to the astral body, and from there to the immortal spirit through the reflective mental matrix. and this is the sol

able to pump the lungs full with a lot of air, putting a needless strain on them. consequently, you will do your breathing exercises slowly and calmly, without any haste. sit down comfortably, relax the whole body, and breathe in through the nose. imagine that with the inhaled air, health, tranquility, peace, success, or everything you are aiming at, will pass into your body through the lungs and the blood. the eidetic image of your idea must be so intense that the air you are inspiring is so strongly impregnated with your desire that it has already become reality. you should not allow the slightest doubt about this fact. to avoid weakening, it will be enough to start with seven inhalations in the morning as well as at night. increase the number of breaths gradually to one more in the morn

a daily habit, such as washing with cold water, rubbing the body from head to toe, athletic exercises in the morning, magic of water, conscious breathing and so forth. the second step training of the body orders a change of the breathing exercises. in the previous step, we have learned how to breathe consciously and convey the desire inhaled together with the air (through the akasa principle) to the blood stream via the lungs. in this chapter i am going to describe the conscious pore-breathing. our skin has a double function, i.e, the breathing and the secretion. therefore we may consider the skin as a second piece of lungs and as a second kidney of the body. everybody will understand now, for which important reason, we have recommended dry-brushing, rubbing, washing with cold water and a

at he is inhaling your radiant energy with every breath, and will get well. he must imagine intensely that he will go on feeling better and better, even when the magician will no longer be near him. presuming the patient to be unable to concentrate or, in the case of sick children, you imagine yourself that with every inhalation the patient accepts your own radiation of vital power, conveys it to the blood, and will bring about a complete recovery. here also you will have to concentrate on the wish that the force inhaled by the patient should keep on working positively in him. this has been an example of vital force transference from the magician s to another s body by breathing. we can rely on the word of the bible, when our lord jesus christ was touched by a sick woman in the hope of rec

unlimited space. there is no above or below or sideways. this unlimited space is filled with the finest energetic matter, the universal ether. ether is colorless, but to our senses it appears to be of ultra-violet, near black-violet color, and this is the color in which we imagine the etheric matter. you are inhaling this etheric matter and conveying it deliberately through pulmonary breathing to the blood. if you have achieved a certain skill in doing so, execute the same operation by breathing through the lungs and pores as you did in the accumulation of vital power, but with the difference that you inhale the colored ether and fill your whole body with it instead of with the vital power. in performing this exercise you have to retain the feeling of being united to the entire infinite sp

atonement is totally absent from witchcraft. the only rituals nowadays containing elements of sacrifice are those of cakes and wine and various libations thereof. the occasional use of minute amounts of blood in certain operations is by no means seen as a method of deity appeasement or atonement for a sin, but solely as a means for conveying a certain type of magical energy held to be resident in the blood (many present-day witches who are often of an extremely nonviolent nature even draw the line at using a few drops of blood, preferring to use that old magical substitute, the white of an egg) traditionally, there may be as many as three leaders to a coven, again recalling dion fortune's dictum about one god, one goddess, and an initiator. the male leader representing the "masculine" powe

is animated by this force. this is readily observable by the fact that when one passes away, g-d forbid, his body remains intact, but without any life force. at this point the body no longer has the faculties of a living being. the brain no longer thinks nor do the eyes see. it can no longer smell with its nose nor hear with its ears, nor can it move its limbs. the heart no longer beats nor does the blood surge through the veins. there are no feelings and emotions; no love, no fear, no pleasure, anguish, anticipation, joy or regret. in short, there is no consciousness whatsoever. the body becomes a mass of decaying flesh, an empty shell devoid of life, a shadow of its former self when it was vibrant and vital. this matter is so self-evident that even a chicken or a vulture can distinguish

llect, the heart is the vessel for the emotions and the liver is the vessel for the physical life force. the brain is the vessel for the neshamah level of the soul, which animates the intellect. the heart is the vessel for the ruach level of the soul, which is the spirit of life and emotions and the liver is the vessel for the nefesh level of the soul, which is the physical life force invested in the blood. the two higher levels of the soul, the chaya and yechidah are not contained within vessels and are therefore called "encompassing lights (this will all be explained in greater detail in subsequent chapters) now, it is clearly observable that a vessel has three parts. there is the inner part of the vessel, which is the inner surface of the vessel that comes in contact with that which is

iracle. perhaps the most celebrated of such relics is the vial of blood said to be that of st. januarius (c. 272 305, an early bishop of benevento, who was beheaded during the persecutions of the christians by emperor diocletian (245 316) in 305. once or twice a year since 1389, st. januarius dried blood has liquefied in full view of the pilgrims who arrive to pay tribute to his memory in naples. the blood of st. lorenzo (d. 258) rests in a small flask in the right wing of the church of st. maria in amaseno. lorenzo was martyred on august 10, 258 under the order of the emperor valerian (d. 260, and although he was condemned to be burned to death on a grill, some of his blood was caught and preserved by his fellow christians. each year on the anniversary of his martyrdom, the vial is brough

caught and preserved by his fellow christians. each year on the anniversary of his martyrdom, the vial is brought near the altar and locked in a glass cabinet. there, in full view of the assembled worshippers at st. maria, the transformation of the centuries-old clotted blood to liquid occurs. psychical researcher luigi garlaschelli has proposed that a process called thixotropy might explain how the blood of st. januarius might liquefy each year. thixotropy denotes the property of certain gels to liquefy when stirred or vibrated, and to solidify again when left to stand. it is garlaschelli s theory that the very act of handling the relic during the religious ceremony, the motions of a priest repeatedly checking the progress of the blood in the vial, might well provide the necessary moveme

eremony, the motions of a priest repeatedly checking the progress of the blood in the vial, might well provide the necessary movement to prompt the liquefaction of the saint s blood. but the investigator is cautious about applying his theory to explain the liquefied blood of st. lorenzo, which is only moved once on august 10 from its place of safekeeping to the altar, or the large vial containing the blood of st. panatleone, which becomes liquefied on july 27 and is never moved from its resting place behind a grating. garlaschelli speculates that the overall look of the substances in the vials, together with their observed properties of softening and liquefying when near the warming effect of altar candles and human touch, then returning to solid once removed from the warmth, suggest that
