The Divine Design In spiritual circles the seven main chakras are often spoken of, but seldom do we hear about the "Seven Bodily Vehicles of Expression". It's not surprising really, since for most people at least, four of those vehicles have been closed down; we're living in a society that is taking the human out of being. In truth, we have skills, gifts and divine capacity way beyond our wildest imaginations. We can be completely at-one with an infinite, synchronistic orchestra of co-creativity; a sweet harmony of existence, so exquisite, so divine that when tasted in its fullness, nothing else will suffice. So what is the full complement of magical Human Beingness? How do we re-activate those divine gifts that are our birth right? What does it really mean to be 'Human'?...

The Seven Bodily Vehicles of Expression
Through a series of seemingly miraculous events taking place over many years, I have been re-acquainted with our divine birthright - what I have come to know as "The Seven Bodily Vehicles of Expression".

From the new perspective I've been given, we are multi-dimensional beings stretching into the highest levels of consciousness. The human soul flows downwards through ever decreasing vibrational plains of existence like a stream flowing down the mountain from the source.

The stream of our soul interacts with the dimensions at various consciousness exchange points (known as chakras) where "Unity Consciousness" as the soul flows into "Separation Consciousness" as the bodily vehicles. The overriding purpose is to initiate divine acts of creativity - "Right Action" - by which to experience who we really are. In my truth, here's how that flow is supposed to happen...

• 7. Spirit-Light-Body (merkaba): the spirit-light-body was designed to receive soul consciousness through the crown chakra to align our being with the right dimensional activity inline with our higher purpose.
  Through the spirit-light-body we have the capacity to act through multiple plains of existence; so it could be synchronising with the harmonistic order of the 5th Dimensional Realm to which we are ascending; it could be counteracting Opposing Consciousness in the 4th Dimensional realm; or alternatively it could be bringing absolute presence into the 3rd Dimension to fulfill creative activity. The flowing action of the spirit-light-body can be considered metaphorically like a jelly fish, expanding first to receive energy and then contracting to bring focus where divinely inspired.
• 6. Celestial Body: the celestial body harnesses and stores reflections of our soul through the countless lifetimes we've experienced. It's purpose is to help us align with our true aspects of beingness.
  The downward flowing soul is next received into the third eye chakra which looks at the outer world comparing what it sees to the reflections of the soul in the celestial body. When the soul notices it's own brilliance, it helps us align and settle into that aspect of beingness which is most becoming of us; we settle into our groove so to speak. It's that feeling of complete self-belief, self-confidence, self-acceptance and contentment. When we can notice ourselves manifested in the outer world through our own authentic inner reflection, that is when we are truly living. We are frequently reduced to tears at the seemingly simplest of things because we are fulfilling our divine purpose.
• 5. Higher Mind: from authentic being arises authentic creation. The purpose of higher mind is to harmonise with the divine flow of synchronicity and initiate "Right Action" aligned with the universe.
  Through the power of the celestial body we've noticed how to "be" within the external world and now is the time to experience that through creative action. We've received the recipe for our cake, now we get to bake and eat it! Higher mind witnesses the correct flow of creative activity around us, gathers together the ingredients - the elementals of life - and whilst paying the utmost respect for the free will of all sentient life forms around us, bakes a mouth watering blend which not only serves us, but the whole of life. Higher Mind helps us be the true alchemist - the master chef.
• 4. Causal Body: the causal body is where our "karma" is held. It is the cause of our incarnation, it sets the agenda for our learning experience based on the attachments and creative experiences we need to evolve through.
  So as the soul shines it's beams of creative light down through the higher vehicles, our karma casts the shadows of attachment through the lower bodies that we may see where our 'train of consciousness' is being 'derailed'. The causal body (sometimes known as the "energy body") weaves a track through the lower world inviting us to confront the clouds obscuring our light and then dissolve them by correct non-judgmental discernment of Right Action. We perceive this directing influence as a pull through the heart - "this is the way to go now, this is our highest truth".
• 3. Lower Mind: lower mind is designed to receive, interpret and process higher channeled knowing through our clairvoyant, clairaudient and clairsentient (psychic) skills.
  If our authentic, creative action has not been side-tracked, the gathering energies are next passed into our subconscious or "lower mind". It should be a seamless process just like riding a bike; higher guidance through the higher bodily vehicles tells us what to do, lower mind figures out how to do it. When fully functioning as it was designed to, it notices rhythms and patterns of synchronicity in its outer landscape, has clear visions of the garment to be created and then from the gathering elementals of consciousness, begins to weave together the intended creation.
• 2. Emotional Body: the emotional body builds energy, passion and conviction around our behaviours to bring our creative Right Action into fruition.
  When acting as designed, the creative process has now gathered the bones of skeletal form, but it must acquire the flesh to be fully expressed. The soul now utilises the emotional body to garner more consciousness 'elementals' and builds emotion around the creative act; passion that will see the seed fully germinate. Emotions are the lower reflections of higher beingness. Ideally the emotional body presents a continual blank canvass upon which the splendid colours of life are painted; once dispensed with, they (should) dissolve quickly back into nothing so that another work of art may yet again be painted. It is not intended that we hang onto emotions and build identities around them as is so often the case.
• 1. Physical Body: the physical body provides the ultimate vehicle to bring the creative, downward flowing process into full expression; it provides the experience of separation - of one thing relative to another.
  Finally the soul's gathering cloud of elementals takes form around our ultimate gift of creative expression - the physical body. As the master conductor, our brain reads the music that's been crafted through our higher bodily vehicles and then orchestrates a magical symphony of activity throughout our billions of material cells. Through the physical body, we get to know the all of it; the up and the down of it, the left and the right of it, the pleasure and the pain of it. You get to know "you" in relation to "me". The physical body is the jewel in the crown. Quite simply, when functioning as it was designed to, it makes the illusion of reality real.

Why is it then that most people don't experience natural human beingness in this way?

The Matrix - a system of control
We live in a system of control. Our lower minds, emotional and physical bodies are over-stimulated with constant dis-harmonious distraction. Corporate marketeers, governments and the powerful, build unnatural life-styles propogated constantly through TV, newspapers, radio and other media. The surrounding energy field is bombarded with electromagnetic interference through mobile phones, satellite, microwave and wifi. Our food is purposefully infused with addictive substances; processed sugar, caffeine, artificial colourings, persticides and hormones to name but a few. Our water is contaminated with energetically harmful fluorides, not to mention the vast tonnage of corporate, so-called 'medicinal' drugs that end up being constantly recirculated in our water system.

It would seem our society has been perfectly configured to desensitise and condition souls to conform to lower patterns of behaviour. The average home has constant, residual electric fields due to over-use of electronic gadgetry. Most houses are awash with toxic chemicals used to clean and disinfect which in actual fact damages and lowers our energetic sensitivity. The same can be said for the unnatural polyesters and other oil based compounds used to make our clothes.

The overall effect if to create addictive, conditioned behaviours in the lower mind and physical body which then trap, fragment and dissipate the flow of the soul into continual, repetitive 'eddy currents'. So the downward flowing soul is truncated at the solar plexus - our lower mind - and just like software on a computer, neural webs of behaviour form in the brain locking the soul into a 'false self' persona. This false self then creates a lower based life-style which can be readily controlled by false ambitions, goals and other people's agendas. So perfect is this system of control, many awakening people are left with the inescapable conclusion that it was designed and perpetuated that way to enslave people.

So how do we liberate ourselves and return to authenticity once more?

Our Journey of Ascension
After centuries of incarnation and losing ourselves in this artificial drama, we're being gifted an opportunity. A powerful wave of higher consciousness is beginning to activate within our hearts. This "Christ Consciousness" as some call it (although not of a religious nature), has been dispatched to liberate those who are ready to step out of the maze.

This energy works by sounding a note - a vibration which resonates with and therefore amplifies the sound of our soul that it may be heard once more above the outer noise of society. The Christ Consciousness helps us reconnect with the unity of all life and the cosmic library of all knowing. It helps reactivate the natural flow within us.

So what can we do in our day-to-day lives to facilitate the maximum inflow of this evolutionary consciousness? How may we provide the most fertile inner ground for the seeds to germinate and grow? Our book "Gateways of Light: Our Journey of Ascension" is packed with insight, guidance and tools that awakening souls can benefit from (find out more...Gateways of Light). Here below are seven recommendations from the book...

1. Surrender: be absolutely clear that the ONLY game going on in the universe is self-realisation and that we might as well finally surrender and take an active part in that game rather than trying to conveniently ignore it while it plays with us! So accept that ALL events, happenings and circumstances have but one purpose...to discover our absolute completeness - our "absoluteness" - beyond all circumstances. Realise the aim of the game is to be completely free inside WHATEVER happens.
2. Become the "Observer": the next step is to become the Observer of ourselves in all activities, events and circumstances. We notice where we lose our temper; where we become tight inside because of other people’s behaviour; where our addictions to something in particular cause us to act in predictable ways. When we notice this, firstly it is important just to watch it, accept responsibility for it, but not judge ourselves. In this way, we are already beginning to break free. It's also important to contemplate and utilise techniques for regaining the place of the Observer when we lose it, which inevitably happens in the beginning. It could be a deep breathing exercise for example, a visualisation meditation, or a mantra of some kind. Some people find it of particular benefit to put up strategically placed 'post-it' notes around the house; "let go" for instance.
3. Open the heart: next we need to open the heart further by attuning to those experiences that generate the sublime taste of divine oneness; the feelings such as lightness, expansiveness, timelessness and infinite peace. So the key is to follow those experiences that give us joy as much as possible - "what makes our Hearts sing" - until we are tuning in consistently throughout the day. Whilst we are in the experience, it is still paramount that we're observing ourselves in it. So it could be a few moments of deep breathing at our desk, walking in the lunch break admiring natural beauty or doing the gardening after work; whatever 'crumbles our cookie', the key is to be watching ourselves in our joy.
4. Follow the inner pull: as the heart opens, we begin to notice the natural synchronistic order of things and an inner pull to "Right Action". Sometimes this pull can be felt as an energy through the heart chakra, sometimes it is a simple inner knowing "this is what to do now". In which case it will benefit us to always respond to that pull. Where does the pull lead? It will guide us to events, circumstances and experiences that provide an opportunity to express a "divine gift of beingness" and to expose conditioned behaviour patterns formed from an attachment to a desired outcome. These are "distortions" of authentic beingness, often created by society and causing us to get tight, worried, angry or frustrated.
5. Deal with distortions and addictive behaviour: the key to dealing with distortions is to realise each conceals a divine gift of beingness and to ultimately unveil that instead. So for example someone might smoke because it gives them the feeling of relaxed completeness; we might drink because it makes us feel more sociable and confident; we might comfort eat because it gives us the feeling of contentment. Alternatively we might get worried, stressed or tight around particular issues because we think we need a particular outcome. The key to overcoming such conditioning is to go within, breathe deeply, settle into the pregnant pause before the moment is born, find our sense of inner completeness and then make space for an authentic act of beingness to arise naturally. This is by no means an easy thing to do, but the more we practice it, the more we'll realise every moment offers a black and white choice: give in to conditioning or surrender into the soul. In this way, we become the masters of our own destiny.
6. Raise our energetic vibration: this can be achieved by regulating the denseness of vibrations we bring into the body thereby limiting the stimuli that raise our internal metabolic rate. So for example, if we eat dense, processed foods polluted with toxins then the body has to work harder to process them and the extra effort swallows up consciousness. Or if we pollute our minds with too much clutter, or the negativity caused by the judgmentalism frequently expressed through the media, then we tend to tighten inside. Internal tightness is also heightened by too much computer time, over use of electrical gadgets and chemical toxins used in household cleaning materials. The key is to organise our immediate living environment to raise our energetic vibration.
7. Conduct regular spiritual practice: we live in a world that de-sensitises us and it is therefore of paramount importance that we redress the balance by conducting regular spiritual practice such as daily meditation. Traditionally meditation is considered as sitting quietly in stillness, but it could also happen during movement or breathing. Practices such as Yoga, Tai Chi, the martial arts, dancing, singing and painting can all be considered meditation. The key to true meditational benefit, is to be watching ourselves in the practice whilst we're doing it. Such practices liberate powerful "endorphins" into the body which counteract the effects of stress and negative energy. They redress the internal balance helping us find greater harmony and peace that we may reactivate the designed, downward creative flow.

The "Resurrection"
When we're truly connecting to the soul and experiencing it through the Seven Bodily Vehicles, it feels like coming home. Whatever is happening in the external drama, we feel like we're 'in the groove'. We sense our at-one-ment with the whole of life. Sitting on a park bench watching the light flickering through the leaves suddenly takes on a much deeper meaning. A yearning takes hold to return to our true nature; we're ready to turn away from society's conditioning and find the truth - to reactivate the divine gifts within.

When we start listening to the soul more, we'll be taken on a magical journey of remembrance, of detoxification, healing and rejuvenation. The Seven Bodily Vehicles are purified, reactivated and re-energised - in short they are "resurrected". We re-aquire those skills so tragically taken from us. We once more take on multi-dimensional form; a much greater expanded reality becomes our truth. We are reacquainted with our divine birth-right; liberated to be fully human.

Halleluyah!
