Plutarch's Alexander the Great

Plutarch's Parallel Lives

Plutarch's objectives as an ancient is to write lives not histories. Plutarch makes a telling point in distinguishing between histories and lives and also states that glorious exploits are not clear as to virtue and vice in men,as to the discoveries of virtue and vice. Matters of less moment, for example a jest, are more revealing. Portrait painters may well reveal the souls of men than historians of great and epic battles.They are more exact in the "lines and features of the face" delineated than the historians paint them. The ancients conceive of great men as birthed from the gods or supernaturally as a matter of course and somewhat "normal".Alexander's descent is so determined:

• Alexander's descent from Hercules by Caranus



• and from Aeacus by Neaoptolemus on his mother's side



• Philip when quite young fell in love with Olympias in Samothrace



• and was initiated in their religious rites while there.



• Philip married her with the consent of her brother Arymbas as her parents had died.



• Olympias dreamed the night before the consummation of their marriage as dreams and portents to the ancients were often signs and messages from the "higher " or other worlds.



• A thunderbolt fell on her body and a great fire kindled. The flames divided, disbursed and were distinguished.



• Philip also dreamed that his wife was sealed up with a seal likened to a lion.



• The diviners interpreted this to look narrowly to his wife.



• Aristander interpreted the dream as the queen was with boy child to attain to the courage of a lion. A serpent was found lying by Olympias which abated Philip's passion for her.



• Did he think of her as an enchantress or thought she had commerce with some god?



• In Samothrace women were said to be extremely addicted to the Orphic rites and wild worship of Bacchus and imitated Edonian and Thracian women on"about Mount Haemus".



• The dancing ceremonies Olympias performed were with barbaric dread and had great tame serpents about her.



• The men looked with terror on these dances.

It being my purpose to write the lives of Alexander the king, and of
Caesar, by whom Pompey was destroyed, the multitude of their great actions
affords so large a field that I were to blame if I should not by way of apology
forewarn my reader that I have chosen rather to epitomize the most celebrated
parts of their story, than to insist at large on every particular circumstance
of it. It must be borne in mind that my design is not to write histories, but
lives. And the most glorious exploits do not always furnish us with the clearest
discoveries of virtue or vice in men; sometimes a matter of less moment, an
expression or a jest, informs us better of their characters and inclinations,
than the most famous sieges, the greatest armaments, or the bloodiest battles
whatsoever. Therefore as portrait-painters are more exact in the lines and
features of the face in which the character is seen, than in the other parts of
the body, so I must be allowed to give my more particular attention to the marks
and indications of the souls of men, and while I endeavor by these to portray
their lives, may be free to leave more weighty matters and great battles to be
treated of by others.
It is agreed on by all hands, that on the father's side, Alexander descended from Hercules by Caranus, and from Aeacus by Neoptolemus on the mother's side. His father Philip, being in Samothrace, when he was quite young, fell in love there with Olympias, in company with whom he was initiated in the religious ceremonies of the country, and her father and mother being both dead, soon after, with the consent of her brother Arymbas, he married her. The night before the consummation of their marriage, she dreamed that a thunderbolt fell upon her body, which kindled a great fire, whose divided flames dispersed themselves all about, and then were extinguished. And Philip some time after he was married, dreamt that he sealed up his wife's body with a seal, whose impression, as he fancied, was the figure of a lion. Some of the diviners interpreted this as a warning to Philip to look narrowly to his wife; but Aristander of Telmessus, considering how unusual it was to seal up anything that was empty, assured him the meaning of his dream was, that the queen was with child of a boy, who would one day prove as stout and courageous as a lion. Once, moreover, a serpent was found lying by Olympias as she slept, which more than anything else, it is said, abated Philip's passion for her; and whether he feared her as an enchantress, or thought she had commerce with some god, and so looked on himself as excluded, he was ever after less fond of her conversation. Others say, that the women of this country having always been extremely addicted to the enthusiastic Orphic rites, and the wild worship of Bacchus, (upon which account they were called Clodones, and Mimallones,) imitated in many things the practices of the Edonian and Thracian women about Mount Haemus, from whom the word threskeuein, seems to have been derived, as a special term for superfluous and over-curious forms of adoration; and that Olympias, zealously affecting these fanatical and enthusiastic inspirations, to perform them with more barbaric dread, was wont in the dances proper to these ceremonies to have great tame serpents about her, which sometimes creeping out of the ivy and the mystic fans, sometimes winding themselves about the sacred spears, and the women's chaplets, made a spectacle which the men could not look upon without terror.

Henryk (Janus Korczak) and Flying University

http://korczak.com/Biography/kap-4.htm

By attending "Flying" ,Henryk was perfectly in sync wit the lifelong temperament he always maintained of the socialist reformer/revolutionary(?) The two socialist factions kept alive Polish history and culture ,and these were the two factions of the intelligentsia (students and professors) who attended the school. The "caught" were sent to Siberia or imprisoned or worse.The Czar was determined to stamp them out. Note the atmosphere as he attended his first lecture.The school was an underground clandestine venture,and by the mid 1880's there were over 1000 students in attendance.The secret gatherings provided social and academic opportunities. Zofia Nalkowska the well known later novelist attended these.Note Dawid's studies in Leipzig with Wilhelm Wundt and laid the foundations later espoused by Korczak for liberating the child from conventional restraints, ideas of the natural development of the child earlier by Rousseau, and Pestalozzi's theories of "Progressive Education". Dawid's experiments with the psychological responses of children embedded in Korczak's mind the preeminence of complete and uncompromising objectivity of the scientific research engaged in the study of the child. "observing clearly in order to think clearly" was an emblazoned Korczak precept.

Henryk's character is describably dichotomous. The scientist is suspicious of the artist.

Note the following influences on Henryk's emerging social consciousness:

• Waclaw Nalkowski a social activist developing modern geography (Zofia's father)



• Pestalozzi



• Dawid's experiments measuring psychological responses of children (Child development)



• Stefania Sempolowska (free lending library)



• Henryk's ideals were being formed -democratic socialism without class or ethnic divisions-no compromise of principles irrespective of consequences



• modesty without affectation.
  
  

Henryk had met the editor of Voice, Jan Wladyslaw Dawid, Poland´s first
experimental psychologist, when he attended his course at the Flying University.
This underground college, so named because students and professors had to keep
moving from one location to another to escape surveillance by the police,
attracted the finest minds in the country. Though divided into two socialist
factions-one advocating national independence and the other an international
socialist alliance within the Russian empire-they were united in their
determination to keep alive Polish history and culture, which the Czar was
determined to stamp out. Those who were caught spent a few weeks, months, or
even years in a prison cell, or in exile in Siberia.
Henryk had been taken
to his first lecture in Dawid´s apartment by his friend Leon Rygier. There were
so many coats in the entrance hall they had trouble finding hooks for their own.
Once inside the candlelit living room, whose shades were drawn to avoid
detection by the police, he was introduced to other students and accepted tea
from Dawid´s wife, Jadwiga Szczawinska, who presided over the samovar with the
same energy she expended on all the projects in which she and her husband were
involved.
It was Jadwiga, a woman of formidable organizational ability, who,
while still single, had started the Flying University in her small apartment to
provide education for young women in Polish language and literature. When word
spread about this remarkable clandestine venture, men clamored to be included;
and by the mid-1880s there were over a thousand young students of both sexes
enrolled in courses at various underground locations in Warsaw. Jadwiga even
managed to set up an extensive scientific library for the university, but her
domineering personality alienated many of the faculty. Her husband, who was
known to "fight like David with Goliath" over issues he believed in, was said to
be powerless when it came to Jadwiga.
The secret gatherings of the Flying U
niversity provided social as well as academic opportunities. Zofia Nalkowska, a
precocious fifteen-year-old who wanted to be an emancipated woman (and who would
become a wellknown novelist), kept a diary of the sessions at the Dawids.
apartment during the time that Korczak was there. in one entry she notes that
the girls were really dressed up, but that she looked as attractive as any of
them in her brown dress, which gave her a good figure. She tried to concentrate
on what Dawid was saying, but sometimes found herself glancing over at the boy
with the nice smile who had asked to borrow her notes.
Zofia was not alone
in her criticism of the "wise and clever" professor´s dry , factual delivery,
yet Dawid's reputation as a mumbler who wrote much better than he spoke did not
prevent students from flocking to his courses. He had studied in Leipzig with
the founder of experimental psychology, Wilhelm Wundt, and his lectures were
filled with the radical ideas in education that were sweeping both sides of the
Atlantic at the time: ideas that called for liberating the child from the
conventional restraints of the past. Rousseau had paved the way for this
pedagogical breakthrough in 1762 with his fictional Emile, a boy who was
encouraged to grow and develop naturally. And Johann Pestalozzi, working with
real children in his famous boarding school set up in 1805 in Yverdon, laid the
foundation for progressive education.
Korczak considered Pestalozzi one of
the greatest scientists of the nineteenth century. Many of his later ideas on
education, the dignity of work, and the importance of observing clearly in order
to think clearly, reflect the influence of that dedicated Swiss educator. But it
was Dawid´s experiments with measuring the psychological responses of children
at different ages-work that anticipated the field of child development- that
made Henryk decide to do scientific research on the child that would exclude
everything that "smacked of subjectivity."
Already the two sides of Henryk´s
character were jockeying for position: the scientist would always be suspicious
of the artist, keeping him in check by compiling height and weight
charts-material that the artist would seldom find time to correlate.
Another
strong influence on the young medical student was Zofia´s father, Waclaw
Nalkowski, a fiercely outspoken social activist, who developed the field of
modern geography. " Who knows famous Poles? " Korczak would ask when writing of
Nalkowski. He saw the geographer as a "blazing star in a small firmament," who,
had he been born in a country where there was no Russian censor, would have been
internationally famous.
Henryk also became a lifelong friend of the imposing
Stefania Sempolowska (her trademark a broad-brimmed hat with two ostrich
feathers, and a long black dress with a stylish train), who wrote on natural
history and supported the rights of Jews, peasants, and workers. Her concern
about educating the illiterate masses led her to become a driving force behind
the Free Lending Library, where Henryk gave his Saturdays to inspiring unruly
children to read. The Russian authorities, convinced that the library was
spreading atheism and other subversive ideas, conducted constant roundups.
Between raids on the Flying University and the library, Henryk spent "enough
time in the cooler" to have his "rough edges" taken off.
Turn-of-the-century
liberals like the Dawids, Nalkowski, and Sempolowska -who stood for a democratic
socialism that refused to recognize class or ethnic divisions -set the moral
standards of their time; one did not compromise one´s principles no matter the
consequences. Living modestly, without affectation or false ambition, they
became Henryk´s "tutors in the social sphere." Much of the strength he needed to
draw on in later life can be traced to their uncompromising ethical character.
The Poland he felt part of was the one they represented.

Henryk (Janusz Korczak) and the inhuman medical schools, and the urchins of poverty

http://korczak.com/Biography/kap-4.htm

An idealist, he was impatient of his medical training as dehumanizing and was willing to sacrifice himself for the impoverished children of the Warsaw streets. The novel Homeless People became his bible and text.They were street urchins with sad tales brushed off by most who heard them except for Henryk.How could the children of the street be saved? By education in their early years.Henryk wrote a novel of his encounters, Children of the Street.He published in Thorns and then in Voice Magazine.

Henryk had committed himself to a medical career, but he was impatient with
his training. He considered most of his professors pompous, insensitive men who
seemed detached from the suffering of their patients. As far as he could see,
medical schools dehumanized doctors. Students were taught little more than "dull
facts from dead pages," and when they finally received their degrees, they
didn't know how to cope with sick people. His critical attitude toward the
system did not go unnoticed by his professors, one of whom told him: " Hair will
grow on the palm of my hand before you become a doctor. "
Because of his
extracurricular activities as a journalist and the mandatory hours of military
training he had to put in oVer a two-year period, it took Henryk six years
instead of the usual five to graduate. Even that was an achievement given that,
like so many of his generation, he was caught up in the revolutionary fervor of
the time. Poland was in transition from an agricultural society to an
industrialized one, and Warsaw was rapidly changing as new factories were built
and tens of thousands of peasants crowded into the slums in search of jobs that
only a few would find. Successful writers devoted much of their time to
championing the cause of workers and peasants. Stefan Zeromski´s novel Homeless
People became a bible for Henryk and his friends; its protagonist, Dr. Judym,
gave up love and personal happiness to serve the poor: " I am responsible! " he
cried. " if I, a doctor, will not do it, who will? "
Henryk was equally
ready to sacrifice himself for the impoverished children he observed in the
Warsaw streets. He saw them as the most disadvantaged proletariat of all because
they had no one to represent them: " Unkempt boys in run-down shoes, shiny
frayed pants, caps thrown carelessly on shorn hair, agile, slight,
undisciplined, practically unnoticeable. Not yet burned out by the heat of life,
not yet sucked dry by exploitation, no one knows where they manage to find
strength, these active, silent, numerous, poor little workers of tomorrow. "
The roguish little street beggars soon flocked to the medical student who
was willing to listen to them. They besieged him with sad tales of hunger and
abuse, while holding out their hands for whatever they could get. Other
passersby brushed them off, but they knew that he would always have something
for them, if only a piece of candy, an encouraging word, or a kiss on the
forehead.
A friend with whom Henryk was walking one day was amazed by an
urchin who came running after them, shouting that he wanted to return the twenty
kopecks he had received two years before. " I lied when I told you my father
would kill me if I didn´t come home with the money i´d lost ," the boy
confessed. " I´ve been looking for you a long time so I could give your money
back. "As the child counted out the kopecks with his grubby little fingers,
Henryk asked how many times he´d used that trick:
" A lot.""Did it
work?""Most of the time.""Have you given the money back to the others,
too?""No.""Then why are you giving it back to me?""Because you kissed me on the
forehead. It made me feel sorry for what I did.""Was it so strange to have
someone kiss you?""Yes, my mother is dead. I don´t haue anyone to kiss me
anymore."" But didn´t anyone tell you that it's not good to lie and beg?""The
priest told me it´s not good to lie, but he says that to everyone."" And was
there no one else who cared enough to guide you?""No one," says the boy, no
longer able to hold back his tears. "I have no one."
Henryk set down his
encounters with these urchins, driven to lying and stealing by poverty and
neglect, in a novel, Children of the Street. His message was that they could be
saved only if they were reached through education in their early years. But who
was to educate them? Certainly not their drunken, debauched parents, for no one
had educated them. If the process weren't interrupted, the evil would be passed
on.
Not everyone appreciated his lofty ideas. When he wrote in Thorns: " I
am a person concerned above all else with the problem of uplifting the lives of
children, " the editor (who was concerned above all else with entertaining his
readers) suggested he find another outlet for this preoccupation. From then on,
Henryk published in Voice magazine, a sounding board for intellectuals who
congregated around the Flying University

St Germain continued the Chohan of the 7th Ray

St Germain as the all pervasive mind "soul attached" in recent and ancient embodiments rather than as incarnations. I think the distinction not merely pedantic but involves the principle of gilgul ibbur as hitherto alluded to in my post of Isaac Luria Ashkenazi. Note his all pervasive influence:

• he laid the empirical foundation for the Age of Enlightenment as the all pervasive mind


• He attached and embodied Roger Bacon and inspired devotees of the sacred science.


• he was called the Wonderman of Europe and "outpictured the quintessence of the alchemists' dream


• the highest alchemy ,he teaches, is the transformation of human consciousness to a higher level.This is tantamount to pushing back limitations in the physical and spiritual sciences.


• the divinity of the Higher self-this is Gnosticism reborn as it always has been in successive ages when the world is prepared for its advent.


• He mentions he would release the technology of the Aquarian Age upon nations putting aside the destructive uses of science and religion.


• Note his etheric retreats and what he wrote in cipher.He is talking of America and its spiritual promise and enfired the Masonic order in this regard- Many of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were Free Masons.He devoted himself to the raising of the consciousness of the Americans and went before the Lords of Karma to plead the cause of freedom in this 20th century for and on behalf of the original 576.


• He has expanded the circle of the Lightbearers of all centuries-the original keepers of the flame who came with Sanat Kumara


• Revelation-the Dark cycle has also entered into our evolving.


• We have not evolved as we should and the "I AM" Race has not hearkened to the Lord.


• Some must become direct initiates of Sanat Kumara. Always the requirement of the ransom
  

http://www.greatdreams.com/masters/ascended-masters.htm

Two of his well-known embodiments were Christopher Columbus and Merlin the
magician, a spiritual adept who has unfortunately been mythologized. In a series
of recent embodiments from the prophet Samuel to Francis Bacon, Saint Germain
was the all-pervasive mind, laying the empirical foundation for an age of
enlightenment, pushing back the barriers of limitation in the physical and
spiritual sciences. As Roger Bacon he directed and inspired devotees of the
sacred science, then in his embodiment as Saint Germain, the Wonderman of
Europe, he outpictured the quintessence of the alchemists’ dream for all to see.
The Ascended Master Saint Germain teaches that the highest alchemy is the
transformation of one’s human consciousness into the divinity of the Higher
Self. He stands ready to assist all souls in this endeavor. He has also said he
would release the technology of the Aquarian age when the nations shall have put
behind them the destructive uses of science and religion to accept the challenge
which lies at the heart of both, which is for man to enter his heart and the
nucleus of the atom and to harness from both the unlimited spiritual and
physical resources to establish the golden age.
His etheric retreats are
located over Transylvania in Romania and Table Mountain in Wyoming.
He wrote
in cipher, "I trusteth all to the future and a land that is very far towards the
sunset gate....I keep the future ever in my plan, looking for my reward, not to
my times and countrymen, but to a people very far off, and an age not like our
own, but a second golden age of learning." Having discovered the continent and
encouraged its colonization, he must also insure a proper foundation for the new
nation. Saint Germain stood by George Washington throughout the Revolution and
during the winter at Valley Forge. His past efforts in initiating the society of
Freemasons had enfired many of the key figures of the Revolution. General
Washington, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Hancock, Benjamin Franklin
and as many as fifty-three out of the fifty-six signers of the Declaration of
Independence were all members of the Masonic order, whose principles had guided
them in founding the new nation. Further, Saint Germain called for the signing
of the Declaration of Independence, directed the writing of the Constitution and
anointed Washington first President of the United States. America was secured as
the land of opportunity and Saint Germain devoted himself to the raising of the
consciousness of her people. In the twentieth century, the Master went before
the Lords of Karma to plead the cause of freedom for and on behalf of the
original 576 he has sponsored, expanding that circle to include the Lightbearers
of all centuries--the original Keepers of the Flame who came with Sanat Kumara
as well as the children of God who had been evolving unto the spiritual gifts
and graces through earth's numerous ages. However, as the decades have passed,
the rate of increase in the return of mankind's karma has precipitated what is
known as the Dark Cycle--the era of Chaos and old Night whose signs are foretold
in Revelation, even as the hoof beats of the Four Horsemen can be heard
throughout the land. Let us listen to the prophet Samuel--dubbed Uncle Sam by
his people--who has indeed begun to sound his prophecy to the chosen. He has
warned that the I AM Race--those who have the seed of the name I AM THAT I AM
within their hearts--"have not hearkened unto the LORD, nor have they fulfilled
the wholeness of the Law." Therefore, the Master says:

Some among this people must be and become direct initiates of Sanat Kumara, for
always there has been the requirement of the ransom. Let those who are the inner
circle of the devotees, those who are the first fruits who come and stand as the
ensign of the people, raise up the banner of Christ as the one whom they serve,
the one who by his very Communion promise at the Last Supper designated each and every son and daughter of God for the internalization of the
Word...

The lowest and central chakras Serapis Bey and St Germain

http://www.greatdreams.com/masters/rays-chakras.htm

I have already profiled Serapis Bey and now have a partial on St Germain, the wonderman of Europe. The lowest and central Chakras comprise this post. Each of these chakras have to be awakened which is the central premise, as I comprehend, of Gnosticism. Each of these chakras has an Elohim overseeing, and an associated archangel and ascended master. I assume what St Paul says that "we" will rule event the angels is accurate in this context of the masters.

• lowest- at base of the spine,it is lust and passion unawakened, but when so it is purity with the Elohim in charge with archangel Gabriel and ascencded master Serapis Bey, profiled hitherto. It is influenced by the 4th Ray.


• at the spleen is the central Chakra with its anger malice hatred and mild dislikes unawakened,when awakened it becomes positive as INVOCATION.The Elohim in charge is Arcturus,with archangel Zadkiel, and Chohan St Germain of the 7th Ray.


• Note the violet boldened paragraph decscription of St Germain Note his twin flame and Omri Tas.Note his incarnations and his tutoring of souls. I posted on the subject of asoul attachment in a former post. More on St Germain later.

In the following, the Elohim of Peace gives us authentic information in
regard to the "Chakras" and their influence to their particular environment.
". . . The lowest "Chakra," which is the base of the spine, is the focus of
lust and passion in the spiritually unawakened individual. This is the negative
aspect. In the "awakened," it is the positive focus of Purity. The Elohim in
charge of that "Chakra" is the Elohim of Purity; the Archangel Who would pour
His radiation of the Resurrection Flame through it is Gabriel and the Ascended
master is Serapis Bey. The Ray that influences this "Chakra" is the Fourth.
The Central "chakra," located at the spleen, is the focus of anger, malice,
hatred and even mild dislike in its negative aspect. Its positive activity is
the power of Invocation. The Elohim in charge of this centre is Arcturus; its
Archangel Zadkiel and its Chohan Saint Germain. The Ray that influences this
"Chakra" is the Seventh.

St. Germain - The Seventh Ray of Freedom and Transmutation : Archangel Zadkiel and Holy Amethyst are the archangels of the seventh rayElohim Arcturus and Victoria are the Elohim of the seventh ray Omri-Tas. Is the Ruler of the Violet PlanetSaint Germain's twin flame is the Ascended Lady Master PortiaSaint Germain is the Lord of the Violet RayThe Path of The Alchemist/Transformation

Earthly incarnations: Francis Bacon, High Priest on Atlantis, Samuel the Prophet , Alban, Roman Soldier, Teacher of Neoplatonists, Merlin, Roger Bacon, Christopher Columbus, Wonderman of Europe . The Count St. Germain, known as the "Wonder Man of Europe" in the 1700's. He looked the same for 100 years, spoke every language, traveled by thought, fed the poor, and worked for peace. He took his body into light (ascended), and now works with humanity mostly from the lighter realms.
Saint Germain is Chohan of the Seventh Ray, the violet ray, of freedom, alchemy, justice, mercy and transmutation. He is the sponsor of the United States of America and the hierarch of the age of Aquarius, who comes bearing the gift of the violet flame for world change. He tutors and initiates souls in mastery of the seat-of-the-soul chakra, preparing them to receive the Holy Spirit’s gifts of prophecy and the working of miracles.

The Chakras and ,the 7 rays

http://www.greatdreams.com/masters/rays-chakras.htm

This link was a very helpful one to understand the function of the Rays in relation to the Chakras and the soul expresses itself in the world of form ,albeit distortedly, through the chakra energy centers.Other points made are the following:

• the chakras relate to the physical as well as to the finer etheric bodies-


• these bodies have intrinsic qualities


• they prepare man to return to his Father in Heaven


• the chakra centers are a great relating system


• these centers govern the endocrine system which controls the 7 main areas of the physical body and are responsible fore the correct functioning of the organism


• our ganglionic system is a replica in miniature of the septenary constitution of the universe-


• the ganglionic system is the medium of expression and instrument of contact for the 7 ray force and the 7 ray force and these interact and influence man's evolution.


• the higher man ascends the ladder of evolution the more these centers expand. The reverse means the centers remain dormant.


• the endocrine system are tangible and exoteric and express the etheric vital body. and its seven centers


• what then are the chakras we read of when Jesus cleanses those of Mary Magdalen (the casting out of the 7 devils?)


• not in the physical body- close to the 7 major glands-each force center provides power to the corresponding gland


• indigenous healing we have read about re calibrates and cleanses these areas of dark energies where the centers are dormant


• these are spiritual correspondences to those glands which are the externalizations of those correspondences


• the centers are described as wheels- to the spiritually evolved man, they are vortex whirlpools


• they denote action and turn at a dizzy speed with the brilliancy of the Sun.


• their size is considerable and they clear positive and constructive colors, the colors of the 7 rays


• they were meant to be convex radiating foci of the qualities of the 7 rays


• they have reversed themselves due to human degradation and have become concave declivities in the etheric body and destructive human vibrations of evil and discord.


• The "Chakras" and the glands which correspond to their force are as follows: CHAKRAS. . . GLANDS Head Centre. . . Pineal GlandCentre between eyebrows. . . Pituitary BodyThroat Centre. . . Thyroid GlandHeart Centre. . . Thymus GlandSolar Plexus Centre. . . PancreasSacral Centre. . . The GonadsCentre at the base of the spine. . . Adrenal Glands QUOTE


• they rotate clockwise-the greater their rapidity the more impervious to discord.


• They were intended and should be magnetic centres for the drawing, into the world of the individual, the radiations of the perfections of the qualities which they represent from the Elohim, the Archangels and the Chohans of the Seven Rays. QUOTE

THE ENDOCTRINE SYSTEM
"THE CHAKRAS"
"The Bodies of Man," through their
intrinsic qualities make the human soul capable of expressing itself in the
world of form, and prepare man to eventually return to his Father from where he
will have no need "to come out again."
Closely related to the physical as
well as to the etheric bodies--the finer bodies--are the Centres, which
constitute a great relating system and bring all parts of the physical vehicle
into relation with each other. These centres govern the endocrine system which,
in turn, controls the seven major areas of the physical body and is responsible
for the correct functioning of the entire organism, producing both physiological
and psychological effects. In this gaglionic system we have a replica, in
miniature, of the septenary constitution of the Universe and the medium of
expression as well as the instrument of contact for the seven Ray force which
influence the evolutionary life of man. The higher a man ascends in the ladder
of evolution, the more these centres expand, and when the reverse occurs, they
remain dormant.
In the endoctrine system we have the tangible and exoteric
expression of the activity of the etheric "vital Body" and its seven centres.
These "seven centres" are not to be found "in" the physical body, but they are
close to the same region where the seven major glands are located, and each
centre of force provides the power and the life of the corresponding gland which
is, in fact, its externalization. They are what one could call the glands'
"Spiritual Correspondences," and which the Wise Men of the East named "Chakras."
These Chakras, primarily, are seven in number, though from them emanate
twenty-one minor ones, as well as forty still smaller, making a total of
seventy-seven, leaving out the still smaller ones.
Thus we can see that from
the "Chakras" important and vital force emanates and is distributed into the
physical body through the endoctrine system which conditions, controls, and
determines, to a large extent, the life expression of the incarnated individual.
They are the conveyors of the forces of personality--mental and emotional--and
register them in the glands, thus galvanizing the physical man into action, be
it good, bad, or indifferent.
The "Chakras" and the glands which correspond
to their force are as follows:
CHAKRAS. . . GLANDS
Head Centre. . .
Pineal GlandCentre between eyebrows. . . Pituitary BodyThroat Centre. . .
Thyroid GlandHeart Centre. . . Thymus GlandSolar Plexus Centre. . .
PancreasSacral Centre. . . The GonadsCentre at the base of the spine. . .
Adrenal Glands
The centres are usually described as "wheels" and do denote
action--a turning around. To the spiritually evolved man, they are more than
that; they are vortex, whirlpools, turning around in a dizzy speed, and with the
light and brilliancy of the Sun. Furthermore, their size is considerable. In
this condition, they carry the positive, clear, constructive colors,
representing the colors of the Seven Rays. Originally the centres were meant to
be convex in shape and radiating foci of the qualities of the Seven Rays. Due to
human degradation they have reversed themselves and have become
concave--veritable declivities in the etheric body filled with the destructive
humanly qualified vibrations that have become the roots of all evil and discord.

The centres, or "Chakras," on their movement follow a clockwise rotation and the greater their rapidity, the more non-recordant they are to discord. They were intended and should be magnetic centres for the drawing, into the world of the individual, the radiations of the perfections of the qualities which they represent from the Elohim, the Archangels and the Chohans of the Seven Rays.

Serapis Bey ascended master and Chohan of the Fourth Ray

Serapis Bey like all of the masters has left footprints in time and has a record of accomplishments on the plane of history in elevating us to spiritual perfection,as do all of the masters.The descriptive words are often past my comprehension but I do get a sense of these words and accomplishments:

• he holds open temple doors on the etheric level. The significance of the temple having multilevels of access to different worlds ansd spiritual "states" is obvious. His holding these open is making the temple accessible to the qualified adepts.



• He is associated with Luxor (temple) in Egypt.



• Came from Venus and keeper of the white flame.



• He works with the archangel Chamuel on the ray of compassion and is the only master working with the Seraphim



• his ascension seat is Luxor. More of the meaning of the ascension seat later.



• He was priest in Atlantis and Pharaoh Akhenaten IV and Amenophis.



• Master of the 3rd yellow ray of active creative intelligence .



• He is the master of the third ray, the yellow ray of active, creative intelligence, helping to bring perfection, focus and independence to artists, musicians, peacemakers, philosophers and meta physicians QUOTE



• He works to balance and activate artistic beauty in all areas of life. He helps with personal initiations. QUOTE
