The Light Body
The Light Body is
a structure of light from higher dimensions. Like the physical body it
is a vehicle for consciousness. As your physical body contains organs
and other physical structures, your light body contains various
structures of light. The Chakras, the Column and the MerKaBa are all
structures of the light body. Between lives you journey in the Light
body to various places and dimensions and it is the central vehicle used
to incarnate into any of the nine dimensions. For incarnation into the
third dimension the light body needs an astral body which has been
described earlier.
This astral body
incarnates into the physical dimension through its interaction with the
etheric body. The Light body incarnates by shining through the Astral
body. It is much larger than the Astral body and is around and above it.
For Light to incarnate into matter it needs something to ground in. A
baby is too small to really hold the light body and give it a ground
which is why nurturing is so important. When the baby is with the mother
and she is open enough, the babies light body grounds with the help of
her body. So while this is happening the baby can feel the love which is
a part of itself (its light body). This is the beginning of looking for
love outside of oneself. The baby believes that the love comes from its
mother because she grounds it. Without her the baby cannot feel its
light body in the same way because it lacks the ground necessary to hold
it.
This effect will
be apparent to anyone who has meditated alone and in a group. It is
often much easier to meditate in a group because the others are helping
to create a ground for light. The meditators Light bodies as well as
angels and guides can ground through all of the physical bodies which
makes it much easier to have spiritual experiences and deeper
meditation. This is commonly called a space. The space is created by the
grounding of higher energies. When meditating alone it is more difficult
to give these beings and your own Light body a ground and so it can be
more difficult to enter into a space. Once a space has been established
either alone or in a group, much metaphysical and alchemical work can be
done. Your Light body and the various other beings that come to help are
essential to any real spiritual development and without them no progress
could be made.
As a person grows
up and the astral body incarnates into the physical, the samskaras from
past lives are activated along with new ones being created through
emotional trauma. The astral body and chitta become far more structured
and crystallized which blocks the Light body from shining through. The
Light body is more grounded now but its light is blocked by ego
structure. The Light body remains in, around and above the physical body
but depending on the person’s ego structure, it is not strongly felt and
what is felt is distorted by the astral. While meditating or doing
spiritual practices the Light body is pulled into the astral body. A
ground is created for the light and as it intensifies its incarnation
into the astral samaskara's begin to dissolve. The light raises the
vibration of the astral body which causes samskaras to break up and
dissolve. The reason the astral substances are able to crystallize and
stay that way is because of its slow vibration. By raising the vibration
of the astral it will begin to break up the crystallization. Once the
astral body has been cleared of crystallization in this way the Light
body can shine through it and ground into the physical.
The Light body is very large and contains many structures. It is beyond
our purposes to describe all of its parts and functions. The ones that
are most important for our Spiritual Awakening now are the Chakra's, The
Column and the MerKaBa.
