Fluids, Vapors, Fire & Salt- 25th March 1994

THERE needs be a conjunct, a mutuality, a shared area, whereupon one plane of being shoulders another. We shall not use the terms 'higher' or 'lower' as the relationship between worlds of Being are actually in truth not relatively marked as such, but being what they are, both enhanced and incorporated one unto another. This 'area' of mutual meeting occurs in shared aspects which follow through, carry over, according to their specific nature. In this we may look to the natural home in which a spiritual property may belong, and understand its significance in keeping with its characteristics both here and hereafter.

The soul-life described as occurring in the fluidic bodies of Man (and also in permeations throughout) has ventured forth into a crystalline world which has harvested itself in turn upon the etheric enterprise. The soul-system which comes to interpret the world and also give itself into the world, is complex and elaborate, having many variations as to the expression and to the synthesis, as combined and carried in any particular fluid or 'mist'.


There is a power to fluidity which is actually winningly persuasive. Form cannot resist its proposal. The astral 'nerves' for example, as carried in living fluids, stimulate the form of the man to become animate, without which, in nature and inclination, he should not go forward or back - he could not make conquest of an otherwise paralysis. 


The secret to the elixir of life was indeed this knowledge of the true life contained; that a body of fluid holds the magical properties of Life itself and lesser life individualized and distinct, within the incorruptible vessel of purity: the etheric substance in becoming physical (water itself). This was the answer as to eternal continuity and the mystery of physicality and its relationship to the Divine; that the principle and manifestation of Fluidity does suckle the obstinate World- obstinate and partially withstanding. (At present that is, for not always was this so. Originally the entire Globe was governed by the fluidic principle, as it was at that time unamassed to the mineral cleavage; and as a baby come straight from Heaven, strongly 'soulful', therefore fluidic in total.)

Upon death, when the warmth has expired from a man, the body becomes rigid as the soul-forces depart; and the rigor mortis condition is a true example of that result. Man without his fluidic soul-system should be as Pinocchio: wooden and unfeeling. 


One point raised was concerning the individual essences of men and their vapors as being experienced mutually. Out from the many hundreds of combinations and synthesis of fluids and their expression of the man, there is also a base residual which is lent out into the outer world which may well be experienced by another via the many natural excretions - saliva, perspiration, urination, semenal, nasal, tearful (and the nature of these vary day to day also) - and there are those as borne out in the exertion of certain vitalities of which a man may loosen his fully steeped connection with his body and exude himself in certain projections. 


So by these most personalized emanatory vapors, one individual may give over a soul-impression or impart an emotional expression in this way. This is not however, the full explanation to one's sense of presence or sympathetic bonding with another- although the receptivity to any others characteristics as borne as their fragrance of being, so to speak, does become relevant to individuals who are magnetically responsive.

Our Spirit was as the ethers of Space, that space in which the Life could be contained; and soon the dark waters collected within that space (soul) throughout which the Light of consciousness illumined; and then remarkably, came Form. This was lent to us by the Architects of Being, who in consultation with He who brought the silver-glass in which to view ourselves (our ego), we became defined and upright and did contrast the realities without, by this our presence.

The streams of entities which circulate the cosmic spheres are transported along arterial thoroughfares which are accommodating because of their fluidity. But what of the actual substance of this? To whom and to what, do these feelings of soul belong to? Each planet, which multitudes of individuals frequent, emanate on their own, these arterial pathways. They may 'feel' by their rays so extended- along which the aspirants are carried.

Equally so and in this way, there is a fluidic aspect to the sunlight, which by the way, invokes all kinds of vapors also in which the Sun itself may experience and interact soulfully with those who mingle with its light. Its soul expression and 'feeling' may disperse and intermix with all of those exposed to its shafts of radiance. By the bye, sunlight bears no relation to fire whatsoever, they are not even cousins- sunlight may evoke fire into being, yes, but it is not of the same or similar kindred.


Fire is a property, a cosmic property, which is not individually ensouled or enspirited. It is as the element itself and its origins go back so far that it is virtually untraceable. Fire is a midway material which has not fully entered into the physical world by its manifestation. Etheric warmth is distinctly different to the living principle which is fire. The etheric warmth as part of the being which is the Sun, enlivens and quickens the action of changeable life.

Fire comes and goes without self discrimination. It knows only of what it is and is continually contained by the presence of the vapors as humidity. Fire would, if it could, rampage the entire area. Its principle works within Man in several different areas, however its stimulation frees the fluids into release and thus discharges within the man. (Astrally - digestion, desire, aggression, courage, motivation, impulse, combustion with ideas etc.)

Spontaneous combustion occurs when the fluidic system may no longer resist the presence of the fiery principle; usually because the actual soul is no longer connected to the man. For one reason or another he has alienated himself from his soul-ego and ceased at one point to continue the connection. The resulting residue of ash is all that is remaining. Quite a crude warning to those who would forfeit their soul-life! 


The charcoal deposit left behind would be saltless too. The relationship between salt and the fluidic disposition is a fascinating one. For it is that the fluids are drawn unto salt and the salt does love them, completely. The salt is the intermediary between the fluidic natures and the mineral natures. It is because of the nature of salt that the two may not only cooperate, but be attached and interspersed into one another.


This is why there becomes often, the practice of a little salt being added to the holy waters of Communion. Firstly, there is the water received as dignified by the action of the ceremony's invocations alone; then secondly, the water is received with a little salt having been added to it by the celebrant and by this the action within the man is transformed physically.

Of course the salts within the man do meet with the water ordinarily also. However the blending of the two in this deliberate way, impacts quite dramatically and the potency received is doublefold.

The Physical Body’s Gateways- 12th 13th 14th March 1994

On the questions of departure from the physical body:
The consciousness of a man permeates his body in entirety, every atom and every recess is fused with the individual's consciousness. Whilst he may only be self-conscious in a manner 'looking out' he is nonetheless soulfully aware of the host which incorporates the body/bodies - his communities of being. Not only is he aware on this soul-level, he is also responsible as the governor of these acquired surveys. For he, the manly individual, has called them to his being; and not only is he beholden to the multifarious beings which uphold and support him, that are directly connected, but also too, to those which comprise the very Globe that contains and sustains him; and likewise the very heavens that cradle the Globe...

We may move freely around those regions most directly associated within us. This means to say that because of our inseparable intimacy we share with our physical body - for example - we may 'go to' any specific point and affect it at will; we may draw from its forces, we may call it into being or to nothing.


Every center within the physical frame is connected to a corresponding and higher center which in turn leads to the apex of that soul which sits above the body as a whole as though it were a king upon a throne. The central point to the poles of a man is the heart; all other gateways are locked for the term of physical existence as they are secured for the purpose of containment.

To loosen a center would encourage a greater influx. The resisting capabilities are the key to balancing life against Life; and the influences which work within a Man are all toxic in larger measure - that is to say, all except those of the heart. The heart-meridian is a heavenly conjunction, one where the open gateway within the man extends out and beyond, through to soul, through to God. All other points of expansion necessitate antechambers, as it were, intermediary spaces which connect and conceal one radius of activity from another.

It is to be remembered also, that each and every purpose our bodily organs do serve will alter during the course of ensuing development, so that their capabilities in relation to the body as a whole, and their function as living banks of cosmic virtue shall alter progressively. Therefore it becomes no indictment to maintain at present, that the various organs are to be assessed on individual merit, having also differing histories/time periods of preceding development.


The heart, on the other hand, comes before all others. As the individual enters into the world it is the heart around which the body does conspire. Originally, when the human form was spherical (and not of physical matter as we know it) the whole sphere-exterior was what is now our heart. It was at that time the exterior-most feature to our 'body'; and that spherical notation is still there, save the physical body has now incorporated itself outside of that sphere, attaching the trunk, limb system and 'central intelligence center'.

The complexities which go about to form the current statement of Man are too vast to set upon paper, and finish. . . ever. What is not to be forgotten, however, is that above all the marvels and mysteries of his physical incarnating, are those profound and extraordinary reflections of the Cosmos that do express in this and that way - living a life right down to the bones! Once again, this is afforded only because of the heart within the man, that he can do this.


Set quite apart from the obvious (or not so obvious) capabilities of the primary functions there are reservoirs of great and wonderful deposit. Every fluid is a living, attending, blessing, through which the feelings of a Man (higher and lower) are so carried. His higher and lower emotions, his 'way' and his draft; his sensing and his pleasurable or painful reflecting; that which accompanies his willing; that which colors his motivations; that which fires his desire; and that which is satisfied in desire's fruition; that which is signatory to him (and to Christ); that which brings not only the healing, renewal and purification but also the 'feeling'-knowledge of such: his fluidic bodies are the physical fields of his soul-bodies.

The organs (all of the organs with the exception of the heart) are as outposts, they are separated and separate to the entity Man, insofar as they are not him, but do interconnect and 'work over' in influence and assistance- the fluidic bodies saturating them and their stations.

The term 'spirit vapors' is quite apt. We condense, we evaporate, we discharge or distil, and eventually all of the fluidic bodies can reform within the spiritual worlds irrespective of the physical body, and separate to the actual organs also. This is not to say that the organs concerned have not by their existence and functions imparted great gifts contributing to the very beingness, however they are as 'checkpoints', cosmic checkpoints, to the traveling man within.

Now it becomes quite possible for investigations to be made in and through any area. All matter contains 'doors' to such examination, where one may go to the astral realm of its beginning - by this it is meant that everything carries with it the impressions of origin (original formation) and one may 'see' the realm, the astral realm, as it was at that time of beginning. One could visit the forest from which the sapling sprung, of which the leg of the chair you sit upon came. One may frequent the imagination of the artist who contrived the design on the canvas before you. One may visit the realms so described in a travelogue: each and every port, as it was at the time of the author's account.

Similarly too, there are 'doors' to the actual source also - not only the origins, but the originators. One could come to the forest by way of the wood, and know also the guardian spirits of that glade or grove, nigh the forest sprang into being. One may make contact with the artist and his affinity, and come to know of his condition: if it be currently poor or fair, if he has departed from the man he was; and by the admiration and joy in his work he shall be uplifted. The author of the travelogue is also accessible by way of his work; to be reached anywhere he has now traveled to. So the conditions of the past, the present and the immediate present lie concealed in all matter.

It is also true that the very material-flesh of the body of man is incised with impressions of his own making; and also of those around him. The physical 'tensions' complained of (not the healthy tensions of being) are the rippling impressions as are unwanted by the individual. Once again, sunlight and water make for good remedies in this. (Particularly if one is suffering the more negative emanations as discharged and fired from another.) Conversely, many a happy memory is locked within the cell and enjoyed for the year until exhumed and deposited further out into the auric memory.

Question: It has been asked if the "best gateways to the twelve aspects of Heaven are through our zodiacal centers?"


The Body Astrea is independent to the physical vital organs inasmuch as it negotiates their being. It is the corresponding plan to which they are fixed, but it is not of them, nor they of it. So it can be discriminated that one operates passage into stellar fields via their Body Astrea; but not in line with the physical stations as such.

The epi-layers are traveled in, up and out at every level, one does advance eventually by expansion out and into where the consciousness directs. We cast our attention as one throws the pebble afar, and the subtle body expands, while the soul's perimeters of experience are widened.



See now the sap,
As the soul of the tree,
Here in the amber,
Its life's testimony.


Look to the flower,
And therein the bee -
So becomes soul,
In the sap of the honey.


Where water divines,
Its soul-life feels and knows.
It knoweth I,
It reflects all the World,
It knoweth itself,
By its likeness to the Truth,
And by eternal sacrifice.


Because of its chaste purity,
Sacred water is faithful to God,
In its transparency.


Awaken the sleeping
Metal to be,
In rivers melting molten,
Of fluidic levity -
Before setting fast
And captured there to form,
Or released into the World,
Swift, is cured, its soul.


Here is the Man -
Skimming the courses,
Within the extremities,
Exploring the passages,
Of this life's infirmity.


Floating, amassing,
Within his own humidity,
With currents contained
By persuasive membrane
In circuit,
Until given into expression.



And, where he divines,
His soul-life feels and knows,
His soul-life knoweth I,
His soul-life reflects all the World;
And he does know himself
By his likeness to the Truth.

The Question of the Earth's Interior- 12th March 1994

THE tension of surface rock, ore and sand which sits as skin atop and around the orb which is this planet Earth, is no real example of what lies further beneath towards the core. Firstly it must be specified that the regional spheres contained within this one sphere are not of physical terrain. They may not be encountered or experienced according to the empirical standards of our uppermost and current substance. All of the inner spheres have continued on as they originally were: in likeness, in material, and all having been but former conditions from which this current orb has unfurled.

Therefore the gradient of etheric matter is, according to present standards, immeasurable and irreconcilable; and even though it does share opportune space, it is also impartial to the sensory perception of man, who if equipped with astral vision may readily, however, penetrate these older worlds. They are there as foundation. They are there caught in time also, because of those 'bits and pieces' that are still to be redeemed and retrieved; held back because they could not make the 'crossing' over into the newer frame of being. However, the planet does keep all that is her own, and would not fain discard or throw off these many beings merely because of their immaturity.



It is the sphere directly beneath this one in which the Faerie Kingdom is contained, and many of the animal souls also. It has run for some time now, almost as quite a parallel world merging out from their timelessness, from past time, endeavoring to awaken into material substantiality. Intelligence has showered into these wisdom-imbued realms and many influences do not have to be met with there, having come directly into the greater path of current activity; and so these etheric beings are largely untroubled by the impinging trends which stretch and contest our Globe.

Looking in, one well might imagine our sphere to be as a very large ball of entwined string. Certainly as a continuum this is quite correct, and also from the perspective of channel runs within the outer shell. It does from the larger perspective, appear as just that - coiled over and over, with the lines being so small as to be almost indistinguishable, fading into obscurity. This 'line' of continuum, when traveled back (and indeed it is) goes right into the very centre space through which we travel into the higher and lower stratospheres. The ‘higher’ being the Heavens, which may be confused because the point of entry is literally from a lower advance, whilst the 'lower' realms of former spheres are indeed 'higher' places in relation to earthly existence. So it could be differentiated by thinking in related terms of 'inner and outer' regions, however, that too is inappropriate as to the truth, for in relation to each other they are both.


Adding to this, we can also have the third option when positioned in an interior globe: moving through to either physical Earth, the open gateway, or the door to the older worlds - and the inexperienced who come to such 'centers' whereupon they may move up and out are often known to confuse the actual places of being. To the insufficiently trained this is quite an ordeal. We have retrieved men from the inner spheres who, once there, have fully believed themselves to be in Heaven, when in fact they are not. With some, their bodies have deceased while awaiting their return, commanding their recovery, and a whole life has been severed because of this would-be initiate's mistaken direction.


In sleep too, there are the wanderers. In vision also, these can be the very spaces of which the seer has experienced the most terrible destructions and actually witnessed the death-throes of the expiring planet as borne out time and time again, within one of the lower spheres - being that which has happened, mistaken for that to be our impending fate. Not so! In point of fact that kind of vision we shall always refute. The reason being that the manner of expiration is not preordained at this point and there is no 'real' substance to this kind of visionary predicting.

Returning to our twiny roads - it is as the 'string' follows through into that space, that sphere adjoining, and may be followed once again, similarly to its respective core. The difference in perspective is that one does not travel directly in but rather is obliged to have moved around (and around) - which, we may point out, by this method one has had to actually experience every cubit of the sphere until finished before gaining the entrance to the heart, the core, of its being. (This, as a fundamental Law: that before one can go to the heart of anything they must know it as well as travelling every length of all the string - i.e. the whole mass.) This is a vast distinction, as you might well now appreciate. The time it takes is not a consideration, for it can be negotiated faster than a crossing of the English Channel. It's all in the technique and the level of self-consciousness which may accordingly determine stopovers.


For the unconscious travelers, the souls who stream through whisked along the channels, their journey, the unconscious passing, is much faster than that of the lone initiate. (Group tours are like that, aren't they? Speeding through places barely touched.)

Coming to the innermost central sphere and the question as to what exactly it is: it is the Sun. This shall confuse a fair few and yet you did ask us of this question - it is the Sun, indeed, our Sun. Nothing more at this point shall be expounded, we would rather leave it with you as is.

The sphere adjoining it (the second youngest/oldest) was/is indeed the 'perfect' realm. It is still intact, with all of its pristine beauty, essential to the first dream of Being. The fullness and majesty of young Creation, which, as Sleeping Beauty, awaits that time when the Savior Prince may recover her and the true Golden Age shall resume to reign - this time with souls apparent and a humanity reworked and revised in glorious apparel, each with their 'keys to the city'.

Death was Never Part of the Plan- 28th February 1994




DEATH results from insubordination; it never was or is part of any plan - insofar as to be that plan's undoing; particularly when prematurely effected. Nowadays the exit from this world is because of a failing; because a condition was unsatisfactory. It is never, in this regard, a happy ending, a happy departing, from the Earth-aspect; even though the spiritual worlds might well hold something of an added appeal because of this.

When one dies it has occurred because of some dysfunction. The soul is pressured to withdraw and it is not decided in its own time, based upon good reasons and happy associations, but rather, always so because of the cause for cessation.

This may appear a glib summary, but one may stop and question otherwise. For example: You are visiting a large and uncommonly beautiful residence, there are many others beside, some of whom you delight in their community. The buffet is pleasing and the conditions fulfilling. Now in the instance of death you would have cause to leave, and whatever the cause it would be a terrible one, so terrible that there was no choice in the matter. So at this beautiful residence you may have been disbarred, tossed out of a window, sent home, become aggravated by some other to the point of departing in argument.


Out of this life we die because the pain becomes too great to withstand in suffering. The physical body has become objectionable, the soul is uneasy for numerous reasons and withdraws. Or it can be also that the very plan of being here one holds, is completely interrupted by the insult of murder, accident or war. In all of these instances the man is not at peace with this physical world, but in calamity.

Returning to the residence: ideally the visitors are not moved to leave because they are caused to, by aggravation, interruption or unhappiness, but that they do so in their own time as part of the natural course. It is an entirely different form of departure indeed. So it could be with the negotiation of travailing this world into the next, that men in their own time and with full strength, realize perfectly without the pain that the vanquish of death brings.


It is good to struggle with the assertions of impending death for this reason, that the desire to remain ensures one’s forthright impulse to return. Therefore, not to be content with the partial defeat of death as it overrides every soul at present, but to hold fast in the knowledge that the spiritual realms offer up a continuum also for every project and interest we have invested our loving attention into.
