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.
