The Seven Seals are the seven major in-body aetheric (spiritual) energy centers in the human body. These are arranged up and down the length of the spine. In the Judeo-Christian traditions the esoteric knowledge about these are contained in the Cabala. Both the Jewish and Christian churches have suppressed the teachings of the Cabala which was once integrated in their religious traditions. The Kaballah became a teaching given only to the monks, the ministers, the priests, the rabbis. You cannot study much of Yoga or Kundalini without dealing with the chakras (seals). In our evolution as human beings (within one lifetime), we start out bonded with mother for the first seven years dealing with first chakra issues of survival, the issues of the root chakra. >From ages 7 to 14 we are dealing with the issues of the 2nd chakra, the spleen center and bond with father. From ages 14 to 21 we deal with the issues of the third chakra, the hora, the solar-plexus... power, and we bond with peers. From ages 21 to 28 we deal with the issues of the fourth chakra, the "heart" chakra, and bond with a mate. From 28 to 35 we deal with the issues of the 5th (throat) chakra, communications and creativity, and we seek self love. From 35 to 42 we deal with issues of the 6th chakra, the third eye, the ajna center, clairvoyant seeing, visions, mid-life crisis, and our bonding is with our own spirit. From 42 to 49 we work on opening the crown chakra on the top of the skull, our direct connection with God/Spirit, and we bond with the divine source. The chakras correspond to primary endocrine glands, combined with collocated nerve plexi. The root chakra is the bottom of the spine. The second chakra may relate to gonads as well as spleen, sexuality and reproduction. The solar plexus deals with a group of endocrine glands governed by the adrenals. The "heart" chakra is actually the thymus gland located just on top of the heart organ, but more centered. The throat chakra is the thyroid gland. The 6th and 7th chakras in the head are the pineal and pituitary glands. The crown chakra is at the top of the skull and actually protrudes partially above the skull, not being fully "in body". If you study the Kaballah you will discover that the paths between the sephiroth are mapped via the Tarot. If you study acupuncture or anything else which brings you to the Chinese meridian system, you will see a map of the major aetheric energy pathways in the body, the minor chakras, and the 7 major chakras (seals). One of the reasons the chakras are referred to as "seals" is that in the young person, they are all closed, sealed. The process of enlightenment, awakening, spiritual growth is to open those chakras working from the base of the spine upward. As the seals are opened, the corresponding increase in levels and dimensions of awareness unfold. This corresponds also with the raising of the Kundalini energy up the spine. Until we reach a sufficient age... Until we develop a sufficient spiritual practice of meditation/prayer... we need the guidance of "rules" and "culture" to guide our lives. The Bible has provided a version of this to carry a large group of humanity through the dark ages. As we move from the age of Pisces into the age of Aquarius (out of the Kali Yuga through the Diamond Yuga into the New Age of Heaven on Terra) it becomes easier for each and every human to be spiritually awake, rather than only the priests and monks and initiates of the variety of spiritual traditions. Once you are reborn spiritually awake seeing spirit directly, you will have no use for outside authority, for the authority of God will be consciously dwelling within (omniscient). Notice that in biblical times that the actual physical life span of most humans didn't get much over 30 years of age, therefore few had the opportunity to become enlightened. Most could only get up to the heart (4th) seal opening before dying. This is precisely why Christ came to teach us about heart based love, because that was the most advanced message we were capable of learning at the time. Buddha came to teach us about mind. While there are many books which teach the chakra system, I have found none which did a better job of linking the aetheric chakra system with the endocrine system with the emotional states of humans than Isha Schwaller de Lubicz' "The Opening of The Way - A Practical Guide to the Wisdom Teachings of Ancient Egypt" ISBN 0-89281-015-7. If you explore the missing 13 years of Christ, you will discover that he had travelled through India to Tibet and other eastern locations to study yoga and to become an adept/avatar/master. When he returned to the Mediterranean area he taught all he had learned. Notice that the 7-year per seal evolution of the soul in the body is the typical path; your timing may vary. ___ * Sanskrit, the oldest written surviving interpretable language on earth known to humans, dating at least 5000 years ago. -- All Rights Reserved & Copyright 1998 by Angela Kahealani. .
