New year resolutions: Nourishing your chakras (4)

Are you a “ higher animal”, as the disciples of CHARLES DARWIN say, or a human being, Self conscious, not just concious of existence, and LIVING? This is a serious existential question many of us are unable to crack even till ripe, old age, and take away, wherever we go after earth- life, like a rottening fruit with an immature kernel. Yet, we have a task to answer the question, using abilities with which we are endowed for this purpose from about the age of 15 to 21, according to the syllabi of the SCHOOL THAT EARTH LIFE earth life is all about. It is the MANDATE of the THIRD CHAKRA for which the first three parts of this series have been like rungs of a step ladder. ( If you missed them, you may wish to see them at THE NATION ON-LINE or at JOHN OLUFEMI KUSA on facebook).

The THIRD CHAKRA stage or class in the Earth SCHOOL OF LIFE agrees that we are “ not higher animals”, but the kernels of subconscious spiritual creatures implanted inside their respective physical earth bodies. The physical earth body was derived from the highest developed animal, when the subconscious spirit kernel, as man, descended from its home into the material world. This was where, confused, Charles Darwin and his disciples got stuck in their descriptions of a great epocal event, the coming into being of man on earth, which I cannot discuss today. Suffice it to say, however, that these subconcious kernels or spirit seed Germs are visiting the earth, lodged in physical vessels with HUMAN forms. The kernels, as HUMAN spiritual seeds, are on earth to gather experiences which would make them come ALIVE and fully self conscious, the only condition for developing into HUMAN FORMS and becoming HUMAN BEINGS! That is suggesting that not all of us existing in physical HUMAN forms are as yet HUMAN BEINGS. The journey to become a human being may not be as arduous as we may imagine, if we strive to understand THE THIRD CHAKRA in a 2026 New Year Resolution.

The Third Chakra

This is the “energy plant” which maintains all organs of the physical body above the belly button or the navel and are below the rib cage. They include the small intestine, the liver, gall bladder, adrenals, spleen, stomach and the pancreas, along with the NERVE JUNCTION called THE SOLAR PLEXUS, a very important zone of the physical body. The big intestine and the kidneys do not belong here, but to the FIRST CHAKRA, being organs of elimination. I described the solar plexus as a very important zone of the physical body because it is at this point that the spiritual body of man which some persons call the “soul” and other persons say is a “ghost”, that is the earth visitor, man, Spirit, is connected to his or her earth body.

This connection is best imagined, in my view, if we imagine a baby in the womb of the mother and the UMBILICAL CORD which connects them. What connects body and soul is an ethereal SILVER CORD. Ethereal matter is a totally different species of matter from gross material matter to which belong everything that scientific instruments, eyes, ears etc can detect. The silver cord is elastic when it is healthy and is well maintained by the spiritual essence living within the earth, casing vessel or mud body.

Knowledge of The THIRD CHAKRA enables us to understand that the spirit makes the physical body through the laws of nature and that this body is an anchorage for it on earth. It is like the anchor of a ship which holds it down and stable on water so that the waves do not toss it aimlessly Hither and tither. Without the earth body, the spirit would not be able to consciously experience Life on earth.

This is why the silver cord is very important to the survival of everyone and to organs in the third CHAKRA zone. When the body and spirit seperate in what we call death, the silver cord becomes inelastic, taut and, ultimately, is severed at both ends. Evidence of this is in the effort it takes in Traditional Medicine (TM) or magnetic or faith healing to recall a departing soul into the discarded body. In the Biblical Lazarus story, the Lord Jesus spent more time and energy to bring him back to life, because he had been physically dead for four days, than He needed for the daughter of the centurion’s servant who had passed only a few hours.

The silver cord is important for human existence on earth in several ways. It offers us human dwellers in the earth body a two way communication link with the body and from our bodies to us. This is one of the lessons we are to learn in THE THIRD CHAKRA of the EARTH SCHOOL OF LIFE, which is to make our third CHAKRA organs healthy when we positively apply these lessons. For it is the pathway through which the soul or spirit imputes instructions to the body through the back and front brains and, from them, to it in reverse order, from the body to the spirit. This enables the spirit to know what is going on on earth to enable this human or spiritual tenant of this mud body take intelligent decisions and give instructions to the body via the brains. Persons who are successful in whatever they do, whether in private life or in the professions, are persons whose routine activities follow this route, consciously or otherwise. If you watch them well, they hardly suffer from diseases in their third chakra organs! They easily move in and out of their bodies, developing personal power in engagements with the Universe, generating warmth and not cold or congestion in this region. I will leave it at that today.

In other words, THIRD CHAKRA education enables us humans to posses and control our bodies and to use them aright as prescribed in the design of creation in which we are guests. Thus, whoever does not posses and control his or her body creates a vaccum which may be exploited by other persons in or outside the flesh, as we observe in some cases of not only depression or possesion but, also, of unclarified or wrong decisions and actions. This explains the meaning of the statement that some persons “see” but do not “perceive” or “hear”, but do not “understand”.

Why do THIRD CHAKRA Education and experience come not earlier Than the 15-21 years age bracket?

Generative Power

In the body, the soul lies protected from the outside World until the host vessel has matured enough to serve it as shield and sword for engagements in the inevitable WARFARE IN NATURE awaiting it outside the protection of its bodily “castle”. In this State, the soul or spirit does not interfere in events on the outside and is, also, not affected by them. The body, meanwhile, continues to grow and to build its paraphernalia which include, but are not limited to, the back or small brain (the cerebellum) and the big or front brain (the cerebrum). The soul or spirit is roaring for action, and waiting for the body to be set as well. What makes the body ready is when it has become mature enough to be able to start producing GENERATIVE POWER. This is the highest energy potential the body is capable of producing from it been glowed through and given some life by radiation of the energy of the soul or spirit and from its own resource through the diet and natural strivings. The first evidence of the onset of GENERATIVE POWER is the onset of PUBERTY, the resource of which is depleted or strangled through diversions to unworthy ends such as excessive indulgence in sexual activities, (sleeplessness, night clubbing, night walk, for example) and drinking urges.

What happens next?

The soul or spirit sallies out of its defensive rampart or cocoon. If it is to survive, it must find its way through the bushes, thickets and forests of the warfare in Nature, as it were, to whence it came. This battle is to educate him about what it is, whence it came and wither it goes after here in obedience to THE LAW OF GRAVITY and, ultimately, the Law of the cycle. The former makes everything sink or soar to regions corresponding to its density or lightness. The latter, ultimately, makes everything return to its starting point. Do the rotating and revolving earth, like the blood circulation, evaporation and rainfall, the seasons and daylight and nightfall not obey this Law? Overcoming obstacles and frictions of THE WARFARE IN NATURE helps the soul or spirit to develop and to grow, while succumbing to them would have opposite effects.

Thus, if we are sick in body and soul today, if we experience poverty in our finances, if our marriages are not working, if we are learned but we cannot eke out a decent living or any at all, if we seek a companion of the opposite gender but cannot readily find a suitable one among the millions around, if we are sorrowful whereas there is joy all around us, it is possible we do not have PERSONAL POWER, an endowment of the right application of THIRD CHAKRA practices…or our THIRD CHAKRA energy vortex has been blocked, and we are not really LIVING!

Personal Power

 In their book, THE CREATION OF HEALTH ISBN (0-913299-94-4), an effort to introduce Euro-Americans to chakra energy medicine, surgeon Norman Shealy and Carolyn Myss said with certainty that the human spirit existed within the physical human body. I discovered this 1988 book about 10 years later and was privileged to review it for THE COMET NEWSPAPER, now defunct. Dr Abayomi Aiyesimoju, a neurologist and chartered homeopath known by his colleagues and patients to exhibit keen interest in Spiritual matters, reviewed the book as well. Dr Shealy and Myss admonish each of us to “BECOME AN ELEGANT SPIRIT”. What this means to me is that we, not our bodies which are our instruments, become robust, conscious and thorough in our world, LIVING, not just existing…through acquisition of PERSONAL POWER. They did not fight shy of saying erudition of the intellect, highest perceptive capacity of the brain and physical body, is not POWER.

They lead us back to EDGAR CAYCEE, the intuitive healer who conducted his diagnostic sessions in trances, and made correct, personalised prescriptions.

We should ask ourselves: what went into those trances, Edgar Caycee or his body? Dr Shealy and Myss remind us of the warning of Edgar Cayce that what they always say are the causes of disease are their Secondary causes.

According to Dr Shealy and Carolyn Myss:

“ Edgar Cayce suggested in the Edgar Cayce encyclopedia of Healing by Reba and Karp that causes of disease included poor assimilation, poor elimination, inadequate diet, improper acid alkaline balance, spinal sublixation and other spinal abnormalities , imbalance, incoordination of the circulatory system, glandular malfunction, stress, overtaxation and over exertion, karma, attitude and infection. Certainly, a number of these were not considered primarily psychological, psychosomatic or attitudinal.

“Cayce considered each individual “ entity” as being consisting of body, mind and spirit or soul. In many metaphysical discussions, he used spirit and soul interchangeably, and he frequently called the body “the temple of the Living God”. He held that the body and mind come into being for the purpose of manifesting the soul in the realm of materiality. According to Cayce’s concepts, until the complete entity achieves full attunement with God, the principle of karma operates. Cayce firmly believed the Biblical statement that “for whatever a man soweth, that shall he reap”

“Edgar Cayce gave extensive readings on the effects of attitudes and emotions and stated, for instance, that anger creates headaches or indigestion, depression results in weariness, emotional turbulence triggers asthmatic conditions and so on. He said “no one can hate his neighbour and not have stomach or liver trouble” and “one cannot be jealous and allow anger of same and not have upset stomach or heart disorder”. He emphasized that anger, resentment, hate, self-condemnation, animosity and related attitudinal problems release poisons from the glandular system, deplete body energies, block elimination and generally predispose people to disease. Frequently describing emotions as “ electronics” that act as vibratory communication among body, mind and soul, Cayce stated that “any illness involves all three aspects of an entity in a meeting of self”.

“Even a cold requires mental and emotional change and spiritual lessons to be learned, according to Cayce, a cold could come from becoming angry or “chewing someone out”. He often emphasized the interrelationship of various stress factors in creating illness. For instance, in the common cold, he mentioned that a poor diet in combination with over exertion leads to fatigue; that negative attitudes and emotions further deplete total energy; that acid- alkaline balance becomes disturbed; and that the body becomes over-acid and a cold results. Similarly, more serious complications such as pneumonia could result if the General weakening is Bad enough”.

Dr Shealy and Myss lead us from here to the heights in Edgar Caycee’s thoughts from where, I believe like birds of a feather, they invite us to become “ELEGANT SPIRITS”. According to a review of their conception of THE ELEGANT SPIRIT:

“ According to them, becoming an Elegant Spirit involves understanding our planetary situation, choosing survival, and looking to the future. It’s about embracing a higher level of consciousness and spiritual awareness, which can lead to holistic healing and personal growth.

In essence, the Elegant Spirit represents a state of being where individuals transcend their limitations, cultivate self-awareness, and align with their spiritual purpose. This concept is closely tied to the authors’ broader themes of energy medicine, emotional healing, and the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit”.

This touches upon the purpose of existence and the task of the HUMAN spirit on earth which we should begin to master from age 16 to 22 to be firmly in control of our health in several ramifications. I had a first out of body experience (OBE) at 24!

 Thinkers or intuitive

This is the principal “syllabus” in the THIRD CHAKRA class. We think too much. We believe the products of THINKING Will solve all problems. If we misplace a house key, we THINK all day and all night, believing doing so would help us to find it. This week, I upturned almost everything in my wardrobe while searching for an old pocket purse in which I kept some of my photographs. I gave up only when I remembered I should not have done so. Next day, something else took me elsewhere where I discovered I had kept the purse. We THINK out solutions to problems only because we do not realise there is life beyond the brain, the sharpest instrument of which is the INTELLECT. The biblical king Pharoah couldn’t think out how seven lean cows could eat up seven fat cows and still remain lean. Slave Boy Joseph cracked the nut. The spirit of Pharoah was asleep and allowed the INTELLECT of his tool to mount the throne as king and ruler over him. In supposedly poor Joseph, the spirit was alive!

This year, we should all awaken in spirit, like the Five Wise Virgins or the servants who did not bury their talents. It is not as difficult to do as we may imagine. The starting point is to realise that we are not Higher animals as Charles Darwin and his disciples misled us to assume, but HUMAN SPIRITS who Dr Norman Shealy and Carolyn Myss invite us to become.

They work together to show us we are greater than we imagine. Dr Shealy sends his patients to laboratories for investigation of their health. Carolyn Myss looks at their photographs several hundred kilometers away and tells him what is wrong with them, based on the energy profiles of their chakras. In more than 98 percent of the cases, she is correct. She is an INTUITIVE!

An INTUITIVE does not think out solutions to problems. An INTUITIVE RECIEVES SOLUTION to them. As a HUMAN spirit, he or she sends out a call for help into creation. Helpers and GUIDES who are appointed to support each wanderer spirit on earth, in a long chain right from here on earth right up to the highest peaks in the Spirit World, mediate the answers of the help we need. All we need do is believe they are there and to always connect with them in Spirit. Does it now not make sense that whoever would worship God must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth?
