The Sevenfold Constitution of Man
Yes, we all operate at 7 levels
We’re
all familiar with the physical body and to some people the physical body is the
whole self.
It is, however,
a bit more complicated than that and can be a bit of a shock for those who
identify too closely with the physical self.
Our
physical body represents only the visible manifestation of ourselves on the
physical plane of nature. There are six other planes of nature and we are all
represented on each one. To put in an appearance we have a body or principle
corresponding to each plane.
Beginning
with the most dense (physical body) here are the 7 principles of man
The
Physical Body
Needs no
introduction – deals with the material plane – Look after it, you only get one
per life.
The
Model Body
This is
the template for your physical body and is formed before birth.
The
Energy Body
Also
known as the body of Prana, this give you life energy drawn form the sun. this energy withdraws when you die.
The
Desire Body
This
carries your emotions
The
four principles mentioned above are known as the lower quaternary as they are
discarded when you die and you get new ones for your next life.
The
next three principles are known as the upper triad and their combination
provides a link to the next life in the form of the Reincarnating Ego
The
Mental Body
The is
thought capacity and is divided into Lower Mental and Higher Mental
The
Buddhic Principle
This is
the vehicle for the Divine Spark within you and identifies you as an individual
life entity.
The
Atma
The
piece of The Divine or Divine Spark within you
At
physical death the Higher Mental Body combines with Atma and Buddhi to form the
Reincarnating Ego also know as the Causal Body. This provides a link from life
to life.
The
Reincarnating Ego is not the personality ego, which is formed mainly through
interaction of the Lower Mental Body and the Desire Body with possibly but not always
some influence from the higher principles.
