The Shadow and the Holy Guardian Angel |
|
I made some errors in the last couple chapters and need to clarify the seven rings that form around atoms and create the seven astral bodies and the seven astral worlds.
There are 118 elements found in nature and each one has it's own special energy and represents a particular sensory input.
This is the innermost electron ring formed from the energies of Hydrogen and Helium. Two electrons or bits of awareness complete this inner shell and form this archetypal astral body. This is the level of the Holy Guardian Angel.
This is the second electron ring and eight elements or energies complete this series of mental energies.
This is the third electron ring and eight elements or energies complete this series of mental energies.
This is the forth electron ring and eighteen elements or energies complete this series of emotional energies.
This is the fifth electron ring and eighteen elements or energies complete this series of emotional energies.
This is the sixth electron ring and thirty two elements or energies complete this series of physical sensory energies.
This is the seventh and last electron ring and thirty two elements or energies complete this series of subconscious sensory energies. This is the level of the "etheric double" or "Shadow".
These seven rings or shells create the seven astral planes or worlds surrounding the earth, the seven astral bodies surrounding the physical body and represent a total of 118 types of sensory awareness. These are divided into spiritual, mental, emotional and physical sensations that we can be aware of. Occult literature terms these energies Fire for Spiritual, Air for Mental, Water for Emotional and Earth for Physical.
The "Shadow" and "Holy Guardian Angel" exist as separate intelligences. They are fully activated astral bodies that act on their own accord as independent entities alien to our normal waking awareness. We perceive them as not us but separate from us until we integrate them. The process of integrating the HGA and the Shadow is the Great Work of alchemical literature.
The HGA and the Shadow are separated from us by two great abysses. There is a higher abyss that separates us from our HGA and a lower abyss that separates us from our Shadow. These two intelligences have been stylized in cartoons as an angel that sits on one shoulder and a devil that sits on the other whispering into our ears. Classically each is in a struggle to win our soul or normal awareness.
The HGA has an astral body created out of only two bits of awareness and is archetypal in nature. There is only a human shaped body created out of light. We can also call this our Higher Self. This astral body feels much like a human shaped balloon and does not have physical, emotional, or even mental characteristics. What it does have is self evident perception of the entire universe and our place within it. This intelligence knows what is true and what is not true. The integration of our HGA gives us Cosmic Consciousness or Christ consciousness. It is associated with the still small voice of our conscience.
The Shadow has an astral body created out of thirty two bits of sensory awareness and is rich and sensual in nature. It forms both our subconscious awareness and our etheric double or "evil twin". This intelligence keeps our physical body alive in any way it can. It is this astral body that manifests physical results. When we integrate this astral body we gain the magickal power to physically manifest things in our lives.
Until we cross the Upper or Lower Abyss we remain ruled by our "false ego". Our false ego is our sense of self and lives separate from the HGA and Shadow. The true human ego occurs only with the integration of both HGA and Shadow aspects.
