Up till this part of the book, I have covered generally known topics about health and nutrition. Working with the basics was necessary for clarity to emerge, so that many healthy choices become very clear. Still, I cannot say that we have covered all the basics since one very important aspect is still left. This aspect is the metaphysical understanding of the human body, which is not considered in modern medicine, because it is a non-physical body of work. The fact that this aspect is the prime controller of the human body, makes its understanding very necessary.
It is only recently being understood, that energy directs matter to behave in certain ways and arrange itself accordingly. Up till this time, the understanding was that, because we are, so we think, and as we think, so we do. This is the perception that matter directs energy. It is because of this perception that we thought that our health was pretty much determined by the matter of our bodies and so we had modern medicine focusing mainly on the body.
After reflecting on all that has been written in this book up till now, I hope that you have begun to understand how our faulty ideas (energy) have directed our current states of health (matter). Maybe if we had a lot of organic ideas about a century back, which we also implemented, then we perhaps would not have been in such a mess now, trying to fix ourselves and our environment for the most part.
At the beginning of this book, I wrote the following - The human body has seven physical layers and seven energy layers that are working in tandem with each other all the time. Any permanent cure has to address all these layers to be successful.
Most of matter can be seen under a microscope, and so modern medical science has worked mostly on matter, trying to rearrange it into healthy configurations whenever it goes out of healthy configuration. Many times they succeed and many times they fail. The problem is that whenever they fail, they just do not seem to figure out what is causing the failure. It is the invisible energy that is also independently manipulating matter at the same time thereby causing failure. So unless they understand how the energetic structures of the human body manipulate matter, there is a slim chance they will completely succeed with their efforts. So let us understand how the energetic structures influence the human body, so that we too can use this knowledge to help ourselves. The human body contains non-physical energy centers, which are called Chakras. Ancient Indian texts explain that there are about 88,000 chakras evenly spread out within the human body. All of these energy centers have different intensities, varying from low, to medium, to high. In the high intensity band, there are seven chakras, which are located along the central vertical column of the human body. The problem with visually identifying these 7 chakras is that they are invisible energy constructs that are not detectable by normal medical instruments. Even if you surgically open up the human body, you will not see them and that is why modern science thinks they do not exist. Some think that the chakras exist only in the brain, but you will soon understand that this is not so. The brain only has a mental mirrored image of these chakras.
Each major chakra is a rotating energy vortex that is generated and functionally operated by the action of human bioelectric current, a nerve plexus, an endocrine gland, as well as a geometric node within an energetic framework called the astral body. The 7 main chakras are not located within the spinal column as some people think; rather they are located in front of the spine and between their four generating components. The chakras do not require empty space to exist, as they are not air currents. They are energy vortices that permeate through flesh and bone. I will explain each of these components to an extent necessary for the purpose of this book.
The brain is the generator of biocurrent within the human body. This biocurrent flows from the brain into the spinal chord and all through it’s branching and so, it reaches every nook and corner of the human body. In fact, every cell in the body gets a tiny, metered dose of this biocurrent. There are times when the biocurrent flow is high, like during activity and also during automatic actions like reflex. Without the flow of biocurrent, no physical movement and no transmission of sensations are possible. So yes, besides food and water and blood, our bodies live on current as
well. You may have not know much about this current earlier, simply because modern science does not understand it well, and that is why it is not featured much in common texts.
Some scientists state this current as being +ve and –ve, but it is so only in concept. A closer representation would be that it is created and operated between potentials, which can be called higher and lower. Some scientists also claim that the biocurrent is generated in the heart, but this is wrong as well. A lot of biocurrent does flow through the heart because it is the only vigorously moving organ in the body. Its constant pumping action creates a magnetic field around it. This gives the impression to some that current is generated within. With intent and focus, the heart field can be magnified several times. The magnetic field generated by the heart, has many purposes, out of which one is the magnetism of love.
If you examine the paralyzed hand or leg of a person, you will feel the skin, flesh, bones, a pulse in the arteries, and blood in the veins, possibly the nerves too. But what makes the limb appear dead? It is the absence of this bioelectric current, which is not flowing into that limb, because its carrier nerve is damaged or severed at some point upstream. Just because we normally do not feel the presence of this current, it does not mean it is not present and continuously at work.
My hand got severed at the wrist in an accident, and after it was rejoined, I had experiences of biocurrent that I could not have possibly imagined. In the reconstructive surgery, my flesh, bones, tendons, blood vessels and a few main nerves were reconnected. They could not however, rejoin every other minute nerve. So there were some open-ended nerves within my flesh that were leaking out this biocurrent into the live cells of my body. Every slightest movement in my fingers would send painful electric charges from the open nerves directly into my flesh. I have had electric shocks in my life before, from domestic currents of 240V~15Amps as well as 110V~5Amps. I would place the shock effect of these leaking biocurrents at 110V~5Amps very easily. That is how powerful biocurrent is. Just because we have not yet made devices that measure it properly, it does not mean that it does not exist. Of course, it cannot be strictly compared to normal electricity because its nature and purity are very refined and its efficiency is beyond our contemplation. We humans are still at a nascent level of understanding electricity and only use a crude form. The human body is in fact, run on 5 different electricities. Now how many of our most advanced scientists have even a vague clue of that?
Plexus is a junction of nerves. There are many plexuses in the human body, which are part of the nervous system that branches out from the spinal chord, but the 7 major plexus are found in the direct vicinity of each chakra, because it is the plexus that supply the biocurrent to the chakra from where it derives most of its energy. See the chart on page 101, as well as the diagram on page 102 for the location of each plexus with respect to its corresponding chakra and their correspondence with other mind-body parameters.
Endocrine glands secrete hormones that go directly into the bloodstream from where they immediately get delivered wherever required within the body, to maintain metabolism as well as to continuously balance the 5 elements of earth, water, fire, air and space within each cell of the body. During normal function, there is a very slow and metered supply of these hormones into the blood. But if required, the secretions can be suddenly increased depending on stimulus from the 5 senses and the brain. This is explained this with an example that integrates the other components of a chakra as well, a bit later. See the chart on page 101, as well as the diagram on page 102, for the location of each endocrine gland with respect to its corresponding chakra and their correspondence with other mind-body parameters.
The astral body is an invisible geometric framework that is made of energy. It has inbuilt codes and formulations and that is why it is also called the human blueprint. This framework becomes animated when inhabited by a very pure form of energy that we call the soul. Once animated, it is capable of association with a physical body. The start of its association with a physical body is what we normally refer to as life. The soul along with its astral body enters the human body through the head region, as soon as the human body is capable of housing it, which is, normally in the third week of growth of a foetus in a mother’s womb. The astral body automatically fits itself to the physical frame of the foetus and keeps on expanding with it all through its life. The soul however, seeks the zone of the densest physical vibration in the body of the foetus, which is the
base of the spinal chord and makes it its residence. The soul does not reside in the head because at 3 weeks, even the skull is much softer than the spinal chord and it has a much lighter vibration. The soul with its astral body normally leaves the physical body only after death. Sometimes, it leaves with strong impressions of its life that are expressed as visible energy and this is the form that we call a Spirit. Spirits have been photographed and filmed several times, even though our instruments are not designed to specifically capture their level of vibrational energy. There comes a time in its onward journey, when the soul discards its astral body as well. At this point in time, its pure spherical ball of energy state has also been photographed and filmed. It is conventionally called an Orb in this state.
As a child grows, the astral body frame expands in size along with the physical body, matching every physical node of the body with a corresponding astral node. At each chakra location, exists its corresponding plexus along with its astral node junction. Even though the soul resides mostly at the base of the spine, it is connected with every part of the body, every second, through the nervous system, the neural networks, the chakra energy flow, the astral body and the brain as well. Through these connections it is aware of all the activities of the mind and body and it stores the record of all events and all states of being. Through the years, as the soul matures from its life experience, it expands its presence upward into the human body. If it does not mature, it does not expand its presence upward. At the time of death, the soul ascends to the highest vibrational zone in the human body, which is in the head, from where it normally exits.
After the birth of a baby, programmed geometric codes within the astral body get released into the physical DNA in stages every 7 years. As per this program, during the first 7 years of life, energy vibrations of certain frequencies of light and sound get gradually transferred to the 1st chakra called the Mooladhara Chakra, located just above the anus.
The energy generated at that location comprises of the survival instincts of the human being. This energy is also called the survival energy. During this 7-year period, impressions of the soul with respect to those particular vibrations of light and sound are also transferred to the chakra. Any serious interference to this energetic transfer can damage the healthy formation of the survival energy and in turn create a malfunctioning energy circuit between this energy center and the brain. Refer to the last row in the chart on page 101 for the frequencies of light and sound and the plexus that relays this energy to the brain. This is why children who are physically or mentally traumatized between the ages of 0 and 7 years, lose their sense of security. It forms a permanently damaged mental impression in their psyche.
After 7 years, the next set of codes within the astral body gets released into the physical DNA. This forms the sexual energy, which is an aspect of the Swadhisthana Chakra, located at the abdomen region. The development of this sexual energy center completes by the age of 14 years and that is why after this time, young teenagers become clear about their sexual orientation. Unhealthy liaisons or forced sexual behaviours within this period of growth create confusion in the teenager of whether sex is to be used to control others, or for perversion or for creating joy.
The next stage of growth between 14 years to 21 years sees the development of the character energy, which is an aspect of the Manipura Chakra, located at the stomach region. During this period, the soul transfers the impressions of its character to the chakra. After this period you will notice that people become very clear about who they are and what they want from life. It is almost like the character gets etched in stone. Even after many years you may have heard and old college friend say “Hey! You have not changed one bit even after so many years”. This happens because the development of your character energy was complete by 21 years when you were in college itself. Although it is true that strong events in life also make further impressions on ones character, the change is not too much.
The next 7 years see the complete development of the emotional energy, which is an aspect of the Anahata Chakra, located at the chest region. The energy of love in the heart fully develops by the age of 28 years. If you have passed this age, then you would have experienced the emotional quality of love. Reflect on what you thought of love when you were just 15 years old. You would have understood love as mainly a concept, something everyone said was good. But after 28 years
of age, you know what love emotionally feels like, the love that floods your whole being like no other sensation in the world.
The next 7 years see the complete development of the expressive energy, which is an aspect of the Vishuddha Chakra, located at the throat region. The expressive, communicative, and verbal talents of a human being get fully developed by the age of 35 years.
When the energy at certain stage gets well developed, it contributes to the healthy development of energy at the next stage. Serious disturbances in the energy transfer during any of the 7 stages can cause energetic or physical illness that stay for life. This is the 10th reason for chronic illness. For example, by the age of 14, the sexual energy gets fully developed, after which the development of the character energy is in progress. When teenagers between the ages of 12 and 20 prematurely engage in habits like frequent masturbation or sex, they repeatedly discharge the built up sexual energy that was supposed to contribute to the development and vitality of the sexual energy as well as the character energy. This creates a defective energy circuit that manifests later in life. The defect is, that when strong sexual energy is generated during the commencement of the sexual act, it gets prematurely discharged through the orgasm before it can rise up through the body and bring pleasure to the entire body. This is the primary cause of PE in men. When sexual energy during the sex act does not rise up enough and warm the character energy, the emotional energy and the expressive energy, one may correspondingly start feeling guilty about the sex act or they may feel that sex is not a loving expression between two human beings or they may feel that sex is not something to be frankly spoken about. Sex becomes an experience of just the lower half of the body.
The next 7 years after the development of the expressive energy see the development of the intuitive energy, which is an aspect of the Ajna Chakra, located behind the eyes, just above the eyebrows. This development activates the intuitive energy of the person who begins to see their connectedness with the world. It is also a stage where wisdom unfolds.
The next 7 years, which is the last stage of energetic growth, see the development of the spiritual energy, which is an aspect of the Sahasrara Chakra, located at the top of the head, the zone of the most subtle energy vibration in the human body. It strengthens the connection of the human being with God. Many answers about the purpose of life and creation begin to unfold at this time.
Thus, the entire development of our energetic being completes only by the age of 49 years. This is the original design of the human being for its current phase of evolution. The physical body of the human being was designed to be completely healthy till the age of 49 at least; so that it could facilitate the wholesome and complete development of the energy bodies, thereby facilitating the complete blueprint of the astral body, which in turn facilitates the complete impressions of the soul. It was not so far in the past that we had very wise forefathers who lived till 150 years of age. Our activities of the last few centuries have degraded every single thing that supports a healthy and long life. When illness strikes the human body before the age of 49, it creates internal deficiencies and imbalances that disturb the stage wise development of our complete being. It is partly
