DMT: The Spirit Molecule: A Doctor's Revolutionary Research into the Biology of Near-Death and Mystical Experiences by Rick Strassman MD.
In the yoga theory, nadis are said to carry life force energies known as prana . In the physical body, the nadis are channels carrying air, water, nutrients, blood and other bodily fluids around and are similar to the arteries , veins , capillaries , bronchioles , nerves , lymph canals and so on. In yoga theory, the physical body is often referred to as " the gross body " (Sanskrit Sthula sarira).
In the subtle and the causal body, the nadis are channels for so called cosmic, vital, seminal, mental, intellectual, etc. energies (collectively described as prana) and are important for sensations, consciousness and the spiritual aura
Yoga texts disagree on the number of nadis in the human body. Hatha Yoga Pradipika and Goraksha Samhita quote 72,000 nadis, each branching off into another 72,000 nadis, whereas Shiva Samhita states 350,000 nadis arise from the navel center
All nadis are said to originate from one of two centres; the heart and the kanda, the last being an egg-shaped bulb in the pelvic area , just below the navel
When awakened, kundalini travels upward within Sushumna. The Ida and Pingala nadis are often seen as referring to the two hemispheres of the brain . Pingala is the extroverted (Active), solar nadi, and corresponds to the right hand side of the body and the left hand side of the brain . Ida is the introverted, lunar nadi, and corresponds to the left hand side of the body and the right hand side of the brain .These nadis are also said to have an extrasensory function, playing a part in empathic and instinctive responses. The two nadis are believed to be stimulated through different Pranayama practices, including nadi shodhana, which involves alternately breathing through the left and right nostrils, which would theoretically stimulate the left and right sides of the brain respectively. The word nadi comes from the Sanskrit root and meaning "channel", "stream", or "flow". Special breathing techniques are supposed to influence the flow of prana within these nadis. According to this interpretation, these techniques will purify and develop these two energetic currents and may lead to the awakening of kundalini .
What happens at Death?
Kama-Loka is a compound Sanskrit word from kāma "desire" and loka "place". H. P. Blavatsky defined it as follows:
Kāmaloka (Sk.). The semi-material plane, to us subjective and invisible, where the disembodied “personalities”, the astral forms, called Kamarupa remain, until they fade out from it by the complete exhaustion of the effects of the mental impulses that created these eidolons of human and animal passions and desires; (See “Kamarupa”.) It is the Hades of the ancient Greeks and the Amenti of the Egyptians, the land of Silent Shadows; a division of the first group of the Trailôkya. (See “Kamadhâtu”.)
Kāmaloka is the stage that precedes the one of Devachan (or avitchi in the case of a wicked personality):
From Kama-Loka, then, in the great Chiliocosm, once awakened from their post-mortem torpor the newly translated “Souls” go all (but the shells) according to their attractions, either to Devachan or Avitchi
Kama-Loka . Is an astral locality, the limbus of scholastic theology, the Hades of the ancients, and, strictly speaking, a locality only in a relative sense? It has neither a definite area nor boundary, but exists within subjective space; i.e., is beyond our sensuous perceptions. Still it exists, and it is there that the astral eidolons of all the beings that have lived, animals included, await their second death.
Every just disembodied four-fold entity - whether it died a natural or violent death, from suicide or accident, mentally sane or insane, young or old, good, bad, or indifferent - loses at the instant of death all recollection, it is mentally annihilated; it sleeps its Akashic sleep in the Kama-loka.
The rule is, that a person who dies a natural death, will remain from "a few hours to several short years," within the earth's attraction, i.e.in the Kama-Loka. But exceptions are, in the case of suicides and those who die a violent death in general. Hence, one of such Egos, for instance, who was destined to live — say 80 or 90 years, but who either killed himself or was killed by some accident, let us suppose at the age of 20 — would have to pass in the Kama Loka not "a few years," but in his case 60 or 70 years, as an Elementary, or rather an "earth-walker"; since he is not, unfortunately for him, even a "shell." Happy, thrice happy, in comparison, are those disembodied entities, which sleep their long slumber and live in dream in the bosom of Space!
Shell is a technical term used in Theosophy to refer to the psychic remnants left behind by an Ego when entering into Devachan, consisting of the fourth principle and the personal aspect of the fifth principle. H. P. Blavatsky defined it as follows:
Shells. A Kabbalistic name for the phantoms of the dead, the “spirits” of the Spiritualists, figuring in physical phenomena; so named on account of their being simply illusive forms, empty of their higher principles.
Once the period of gestation is over, the lower duad is left behind in the Kāmaloka:
Devachan (sometimes "dewachen") is a phonetic spelling of the Tibetan term bde ba can or bde ba chen, first published by German scholar Emil Schlagintweit in his book Buddhism in Tibet (1863). The term can be translated as "blissful realm" or "pure land", and corresponds to the Mahayanic sukhāvatī or the Hindu devaloka or svarga.
In the Theosophical view, Devachan is a stage in the post-mortem processes that comes after having gone through the Kāmaloka. H. P. Blavatsky defines it as follows:
The “dwelling of the gods”. A state intermediate between two earth-lives, into which the EGO (Atmâ-Buddhi-Manas or the Trinity made One) enters, after its separation from Kâma Rupa, and the disintegration of the lower principles on earth.
In Devachan, the person enjoys the result of the good actions done in the life just finished, as well as receives a compensation for the unmerited suffering experienced:
Devachan is the idealized continuation of the terrestrial life just left behind, a period of retributive adjustment, and a reward for unmerited wrongs and sufferings undergone in that special Life.
To the ordinary mortal, his bliss in it is complete. It is an absolute oblivion of all that gave it pain or sorrow in the past incarnations, and even oblivion of the fact that such things as pain or sorrow exist at all. The Devachanee lives its intermediate cycle between two incarnations surrounded by everything it had aspired to in vain, and in the companionship of everyone it loved on earth. It has reached the fulfilment of all its soul-yearnings. And thus it lives throughout long centuries an existence of unalloyed happiness, which is the reward for its sufferings in earth life.
Since Devachan is a kind of temporary paradise, a place (or state) of bliss and of supreme felicity, Mme. Blavatsky compared it with the religious concept of Heaven:
The locality, which the former [the Ego] inhabits, is called by the northern Buddhist Occultists “Deva-chan,” the word answering, perhaps, to Paradise or the Kingdom of Heaven of the Christian elect.
However, due to the important differences that exist between the two concepts, Mahatma K. H. rejected such a comparison:
Nor has the latter [Devachan] —even omitting all “anthropomorphic ideas of God”— any resemblance to the paradise or heaven of any religion, and it is H.P.B.’s literary fancy that suggested to her the wonderful comparison.
Devachan is not a state for a few chosen ones. Any person who has experienced instances of unselfish love in his/her life will enjoy some time in Devachan:
Hence all those who have not slipped down into the mire of unredeemable sin and bestiality — go to the Devachan.
However, the depth of the state of Devachan and the duration of it will be different according to the spirituality of the person.
Devachan is not necessarily a "spiritual" state. It still belongs to the sphere of the "personal Ego":
Of course it is a state, one, so to say, of intense selfishness, during which an Ego reaps the reward of his unselfishness on earth. He is completely
engrossed in the bliss of all his personal earthly affections, preferences and thoughts, and gathers in the fruit of his meritorious actions. No pain, no grief nor even the shadow of a sorrow comes to darken the bright horizon of his unalloyed happiness: for, it is a state of perpetual "Maya"
Because of this, those who are not caught in the illusion of the personality do not enter in Devachan:
He who has placed himself beyond the veil of Maya - and such are the highest Adepts and Initiates - can have no Devachan.
Mme. Blavatsky wrote:
The future state and the Karmic destiny of man depend on whether Manas gravitates more downward to Kama Rupa, the seat of the animal passions, or upwards to Buddhi, the Spiritual Ego. In the latter case, the higher consciousness of the individual Spiritual aspirations of mind (Manas), assimilating Buddhi, are absorbed by it and form the Ego, which goes into Devachanic bliss.
After going through Kāmaloka the personal ego undergoes a period of gestation where it is purified from anything that is not fit to be expressed in Devachan. Then "the new spiritual Ego is reborn like the fabled Phœnix from its ashes from the old one":
“Who goes to Devachan?” The personal Ego of course, but beatified, purified, holy. Every Ego the combination of the sixth and seventh principles — which, after the period of unconscious gestation is reborn into the Devachan, is of necessity as innocent and pure as a new-born babe.
Usually, two and a half Principles enter in Devachan, although in some cases only the two highest do it:
The seventh and the sixth [principles], that is to say the immortal spirit and its vehicle, the immortal or spiritual soul, enter therein alone (an exceptional case) or, which nearly always takes place, the soul carries in the case of very good people (and even the indifferent and sometimes the very wicked), the essence, so to speak, of the fifth principle which has been withdrawn from the personal EGO (the material soul). It is the latter only, in the case of the irredeemably wicked and when the spiritual and impersonal soul has nothing to withdraw from its individuality (terrestrial personality). Because the latter had nothing to offer but the purely material and sensual—that becomes annihilated.
Skandhas (Sanskrit) or khandhas (Pāḷi) means "heaps, aggregates, collections, groupings”. In Buddhism, it refers to the five aggregates concept that asserts five factors constitute and completely explain a sentient beings mental and physical existence. The five aggregates or heaps are: form (or matter or body) (Rupa), sensations (or feelings, received from form) (vedana), perceptions (samjna), mental activity or formations (sankhara), and consciousness (vijnana).
The Skandhas concept is in contradistinction to the idea of a unified "being or individual", and complements the anatta doctrine of Buddhism which asserts that all things and beings are without self. The anatta and "five aggregates" doctrines are part of the liberating knowledge in Buddhism, wherein one realizes that the "being" is merely made up of a temporary grouping of five aggregates, each of which are "not I, and not myself", and each of the Skandhas is empty, without substance.
In the Theravada tradition, suffering arises when one identifies with or clings to the aggregates. This suffering is extinguished by relinquishing attachments to aggregates. The Mahayana tradition asserts that the nature of all aggregates is intrinsically empty of independent existence. The use of the Skandhas concept to explain the self is unique to Buddhism among major Indian religions. It contrasts with the premise of Hinduism and Jainism that a living being has an eternal soul or metaphysical self.
Theosophy
We are comprised of spirit, soul and body. These divided into 7 principles just like the 7 Astral Planes: - Physical, Plane of Forces, Astral, Mental Plane and the 3 above Christians call heaven. These planes are not like layers but are simply different dimensions of vibration and frequency. All in Universe is frequency, energy and vibration. Radio 1 can exist in same space as Radio 2. These planes exist in the same physical space. A being on the physical plane can’t observe the Astral without travelling using his Astral body or using other methods.
When not dead in a hospital bead you can leave your body and see yourself as you still have consciousness. If dead then you can’t as consciousness is no longer present in the body.
At the moment of death you see your whole life play back. You see the chain of cause and effect. You see yourself as you really are warts and all!
The Death Struggle
Once dead you higher spiritual ego the acts you did through love and kindness struggle to separate from the lower more carnal side of yourself.
The higher Spiritual Ego is the pearl and the lower self the Shell. This separation period is called the Gestation. The Shell then goes to the low sub division on the lowest part of the Astral Plane. This is the Judgement chamber.
The pearl enters Devachan – this is the place of the God Ego – known as the Realm of Osiris by ancient Pharaohs or heaven by Christians.
Karma becomes effective on re-birth into another Earth life. In Devachan you can’t see your loved ones on Earth but you create your own version of reality. This is mercy as prevents suffering; you can’t see your husband get a new partner! There is no pain whilst in Devachan or suffering.
The end of Devachan marks the birth into a new baby on Earth and the Astro Body double disappears. The Skandhas our accumulated experiences are passed on to the new life.
We become what we made our self to be. This is Karma. All acts the credits and debits are passed on to the new life. The Old me is the true parent of the new me. The reason for living is to work out Karma. We re-incarnate until we reach perfection then there is no need to re-incarnate and we enter Nirvana and have the eternal consciousness.
Nothing ever stays the same in the Universe and everything is in a state of flux. Nature is in a never ending cycle of learning. The Universal memory contains all that was and all that will be.
Everything is Spiritual at its heart. This is true nature whether plant, animal or mineral or element.
Astro-Theology
Most of the planets are named after ancient Gods people on Earth worshipped. Saturn was the God of agriculture and the worship of this Roman God was called Saturnalia at the end of the year. People gave presents to each other and slaves became rules for a few days.
Saturn is also called Azazel which means scapegoat.
Other names for Saturn include: - Chronos / Moloch / Samuel/ Bel / Dionysus / Keb / Esau / Usof / Satan / Uzza / Asael / Dagon / Noah and Lucifer the Fallen Star.
The Persian God of light was called Mithras also worshipped by Roman’s. Mithras was Azazels Behemoth!
The book of Enoch Chapters [83-90] says the first star to fall was Azazel.
In Egypt the goat was represented by Seph-Typhon.
The Israelite’s set free a goat in the desert as a sacrifice to Azazel.
In Christianity Azazel is a Demon or a fallen Angel.
The seal of Saturn is the same as the seal of Azazel and also Solomon. [A triangle going up and another going down]
The Goat God was the God of the winter season.
Lucifer = Prometheus = Enki = Azazel.
The English poet Milton invented a character called Lucifer after reading the book of Enoch for his epic poem called Paradise Lost.
Lucifer is called the light bearer and also the morning star. Lucifer also associated with Venus as this Planet [Star] glows the brightest in the night sky.
Saturn also associated with Lucifer as Saturn was Earths first Sun until a shift in the planets. [See my book Satanists rule over us]
El means God but is also another name for Saturn.
Israel is a conjunction of 3 Gods – Isis + Ra + El
Both Jews and Muslims still worship the black cube found at Saturn’s North Pole.
Prometheus used his torch to bring the fire from the Sun to man. The statue of Liberty and other symbols still represent the light bearer.
Prometheus brought knowledge to mankind and thus opened Pandora’s Box. Thus
God punished man with a flood and petulance.
Dodael is described as the place where Azazel was imprisoned by God. The Es Safe Caldera is the like place and means the cauldron of God.
Saturn means hidden as seasons are hidden. To hide, to conceal thus Saturn shown wearing a hood.
Hel the Sun becomes Hell yet Hell just a Viking word where friends went after death not a place of torment.
Saturn had 3 Sons: - Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto.
Osiris / Hades / Pluto represent the aspects of the Sun. [See my book The Age of Aquarius] – this shows the cycles and more information on the Zodiac.
Sheol also means Hell.
Many Sun Gods were born in a cave like Bacchus, Dionysus and Apollo. The Cult of Mithras worshipped in a cave. Jesus was born in a cave and lived with his mother in a Grotto. Mohammed too went into a cave.
Capricorn is also called a stable. Virgo [The Virgin] is the star that is rising when in Capricorn.
The Jesus story is just a pagan story retold. Christianity has replaced the Sun of God with a Son of God!
They are fables believed by people with the understanding of a child.
Greek Philosophy is based on truths and ideas of the intellect [nous]. It looks at forces and the elements of mans constitution and the Laws of the Cosmos. The mythical Christ became the historical Jesus.
[See my book Christ is within all of us – this tells the secret of a sacred secretion in all humans]
In the Egyptian year it began with Virgo [Virgin] July as the Star Sirius was aligned with Pyramids. Leo was the end of the year. Thus original symbol for the Sphinx was a Lion.
Virgo + Leo = Sphinx
This represents the Sun of God being born from a Virgin.
Horus was thus the basis for the Christ myth.
Horizon is the zone of Horus. We pray to the East as the Sun rises in the East. The West where the Sun went down was associated with Hades and death.
A child is a Young –Star just like Horus.
