Our personalities are our vehicles for our tasks, and we are learning to steer them skilfully and efficiently,
Cleansing the lense of perception and respecting life wherever we meet with it.
Somewhere in between the miserable sinner of Christian fundamentalism and the cosmic- ordering superman of latter day New Age thinking, we find ourselves, personalities constructed around 7 chakras, designed to walk on the Earth, but able to earn the freedom of the solar system.
The energetic management of the personality through the etheric (or energy body) is the key to releasing ourselves from limitation, whether it is that of the social conditioning which shapes the world we inhabit, or the rut of our own assumptions.
Spirituality is energy management. What differs from one culture to another are the ways in which a person is coaxed, inspired or intimidated to make the effort which it requires, and the chakras in the energy body which are the principal beneficiary of these efforts.
The relationship between the soul and personality conditions the energy body, and that between the Monad and the personality more so. The state of the energy body therefore testifies to the truth of the point of evolution.
Down the ages the shape of the energy body has changed as a consequence of the emphasis on different chakras.
It takes energy to climb the side of a hill. We understand this readily when we are talking about a physical hill in the physical world; but the same applies when we are climbing hills in the mind. Our experience of life comes from within enclosures created by the steep hills of personal reality; the slopes of which are created by socially-conditioned views of life that we cannot see beyond. This permits those (and this includes most scientists) who are identified with the view at the foot of the hills, which we will call the ‘common sense view of the world’, to say that there is nothing else. And for them this is so: there is nothing else because with that perception they mould the Universe around them.
People with spiritual awareness will live in a way that conserves energy in order to scale the hills. They will learn how to draw energy from the levels of Soul, Monad and Earth, and they will do nothing unnecessary. They will avoid talking excessively, fidgeting, holding tensions, indulging anxieties, emoting, eating foods which require a great deal of digesting and, eventually, they will avoid procreation which damages the integrity of the energy body as etheric substance from each parent is donated to the child.
These economies are energy savers for all human beings, but we can also learn what is the most efficient way of operating our own, individual physical vehicle.
Health and quality of personality life can be improved this way, and this is benefit enough for many. But the same route may lead on eventually to the top of the hills that enclose the mind. Then different worlds may be seen and accessed. The more effective the energy management, the clearer will be the view. In this way we cleanse the lense of perception.
Mind-altering substances are one route over the hills of personal reality. Travel in the etheric body (confusingly called astral travel because the energy is drawn from the astral plane) is yet another method available to those who are prepared to do the lengthy preparation. Meditation is efficacious for those who have a well-enough developed throat centre and can use the creative imagination to create a higher correspondent of the etheric body which can then become the ‘transporter’ vehicle, in place of the energy body itself. This is the way of the contemporary Westerner, and it is fit for Purpose.
The point of all these methods is that we leave the home base of everyday personality life and seek out new impressions and experiences. (With prayer and channeling, by contrast, the personality invites in another level of awareness into personality life.)
Where we can go and how we will see and what we can do when we get there is determined by how efficiently we use our energy and the awareness we bring to the task. Where we depart from (in terms of chakra emphasis) will determine the quality of the worlds we are able to access. Those who can leave from the head centre will access different worlds from those who leave by the solar plexus centre.
The intention with which we move out from everyday reality will also be a conditioning factor and will be connected to chakra emphasis. A person may purposefully seek out awareness that will help him live more wisely or more freely in everyday life. Those who have no sense of purpose in every day life will have no purpose in other worlds and will simply collect new impressions. Regular users of LSD and other mind-altering drugs frequently find themselves dysfunctional in everyday life because they are not ready or able to process the experiences which come with the opening of the crown centre and which will overload the unprepared nervous system. Curiosity and acquisitiveness will not protect us; wisdom, discrimination and a sense of purpose may.
We take with us who we are. A powerless person who cannot command attention in everyday life is not going to command it in the other realms, any more than the person, who is not open to others can receive from other worlds. Those who are identified with form will see form in other worlds and be similarly restricted by it.
The Masters will not communicate with future generations on Earth through the personas they have developed in the past 150 years in order to draw closer to our world. Future generations will have to enter their formless world. Preparing for this time is the raison d’etre of Koruna.
Our personalities are our vehicles for our tasks, and we are learning to steer them skilfully and efficiently,
Cleansing the lense of perception and respecting life wherever we meet with it.
The task of Koruna is to seek out from beyond the restrictive hills of the common sense view of life, the knowledge that may assist us to organise human living on the Planet in a way that is less burdensome to the Planet. As far as we are concerned, this is the new spirituality and we undertake to seek opportunities and manage our energy in ways that will assist this task.
