Healing Tones

WE COMMONLY THINK OF our spirit as being within us; that I am inside my body.  But the reality is my body is inside me, in much the same way as the Earth, a relatively small deposit of cosmic rock with a molten core, is situated at the center of a vast magnetosphere.  This magnetosphere is known to flare outward and away from the Sun, like giant wings upon which our planet soars against the powerful and relentless currents of Solar Wind, eternally and irresistibly drawn toward its origins in the Sun but held from moving any closer to it.  Rather, the Sun comes to the Earth and to all the planets, engulfing them in its radiant light and solar winds.  In fact, if we take into consideration the entire outreach of the Sun’s rays, the planets are all contained within the Sun, completely engulfed in its colossal magnetic force field as condensed particles of solar plasma.  This solar whole is often referred to as the heliosphere. This is similarly true of each one of us.  

Our physical bodies have been described as “frozen light,” and are but a condensation of about a teaspoon of mineral ash expanded by air and water at the center of a rather large biosphere, which is said to extend some forty feet above and below and all around the physical body.  That biosphere is but the lower half of a larger force-field, symbolized by the figure 8.  The top half, or sphere, represents the invisible domain of spirit in the heaven and the lower sphere represents the visible reflection in the earth of the perfect design of man in the heaven.  The two are joined together manifesting the oneness of heaven and earth.  This joining together may also be seen as a “double ring” marriage between the Beloved Lord or Lady with his or her triune human capacity for incarnation.

The upper spiritual half continually radiates the love of the Beloved through the lower physical half on the right side and draws upon it for response to the radiation up through the left side, ever lifting the body upward and keeping it upright and mobile.  Your body does not stand up solely on its feet.  It is, rather, suspended by a “skyhook” on a silver chord of pneumaplasm that connects it with the angel who dwells in the heavenly realm of spirit.  There is a compulsion in physical flesh to be drawn upward and inward toward the positive center of being, just as the earth and all the planets are drawn toward the sun.  I sense this focal point connecting the upper sphere with the lower to be located just above the head.

Access to this point is through the heart.  We move in the direction of our heart’s response. When the heart ponders the presence of the Beloved long enough, sending unceasing, rich and passionate currents of love response upward to this One, the body itself begins to feel the ebb and flow of these ascending and descending currents of spiritual energy.

At the Focal Point

Perhaps I can attempt to describe the feeling in my heart toward this focal point of radiance above my head—of which I have become keenly aware during meditation and “self-Attunement” as a spiritual practice—as clearly one of being drawn and repelled at the same time.  On several occasions I have had the urge to ascend upward and somehow nestle inside the irresistibly warm and enfolding orb of this light, but could never seem to come any closer to it. 

The Merkabah

Then, on one occasion, while it seemed as if I was finally about to disappear into this point of no apparent magnitude but definite position—where my heart had already ascended in utter ecstasy—this orb of condensed light suddenly descended and dispersed itself into and through my body, as a mighty rush of wind, filling my whole body both within and roundabout with light.  The sheer rush of it caused my vocal cords to explode with the most awesomely haunting and penetrating sound I have ever heard, let along sung, and yet my lungs were not even engaged in this forceful release of whatever it was—the wind of spirit, I suppose.  It came from above my head as a real, palpable substance, and then seemingly exploded its vibrational essences through my vocal cords, giving them little if any choice but to release this sacred, transforming and transmuting tone.

In the instant this tone sounded, my whole outer being seemed to suddenly shift to a higher vibratory level and became completely engulfed inside a radiant sphere of substance that seemed to be made of pure light. I found myself suddenly in another dimension as though my body had ascended to the next vibratory level above the one in which we now function in these earth bodies.  The strangest thing about this was that it seemed as though this sphere had been there all along and I had not noticed it.  I had known about it but I had not experienced it until that moment when it revealed itself as this vibrational shift occurred and the atmosphere around my body became filled with the spiritual substance of pneumaplasm, intensifying the force field. Then I became aware of it, suspended, as my body was, within it.  It seemed as though my feet were not touching the ground and I had the most powerful déjà vu experience of my entire life.  “This is where I belong,” I recall being assured in my heart.  “This is Home.  This is who I am, this magnificent and powerful spirit enveloping and animating this human form.”

Oh, I did not want to leave that moment!  And I never shall leave it in consciousness for as long as I live.  I have had a couple of similar experiences since then—significantly enough while singing solo during worship services and therein focusing a creative current—but never quite as powerful as that first time.  I later came to understand that the first experience was of a vibrational dam of resistance in my heart breaking, releasing a rush of current.  After that initial surge of release, the experience was one of a natural and easy flow of spirit.  I recall how I had a hard time keeping my feet on the floor as I began to sing.  I had to deliberately look into the eyes of someone in the congregation in order to stay grounded.  I also recall feeling that this was the easiest and most natural experience I had ever known.

This focal point of connection is truly, without a doubt in my mind and heart, our ordained place to live, and we must—we can and we will—all return to it one day. It is definitely available for experience when the conditions are just right, and therein is the key.   We must be willing to create, or occasion, the right conditions in which this magical alchemy of ascension may occur, which only the spirit and substance of love can provide.  The sacred practice of Attunement is one way of creating such space.   This is the source of inspiration behind this writing.  This is the work, I believe, we have all come here to do: our Father’s business.  And it will not be complete until we return to this vibrational place together as One Body of many members in agreement and accord with the One Spirit whose body it is. 

I would emphasize once more that we are in this process together as One Body of the One Spirit of God.  It was made clear to me as I came down from this initial spiritual ecstasy that I would not be able to sustain this altered physical state on my own power and generation, for I was keenly aware that I was not alone in it.  I was one of many who were gathered at that time—and later on during worship service—in a place of accord in consciousness. 

On this occasion we were participating in a unified field of radiation during what was described as an hour of “World Blessing.”  I had just finished reading through a list of various ones gathered in other places in the world, bringing them clearly into my consciousness while enfolding them in a powerful current of unconditional love so that I actually felt we were inseparably one with each other.  In other words, something was occurring through many who were playing their parts in a unified body of spiritual substance and I had simply consciously acknowledged the fact and included my own generation in this unified field.  The vibratory shift occurred in the moment I shifted my gaze heavenward to lift the rising current of unified love response utterly unto the Lord in deep humility and worship.

This was and is the reality of the One Body of the One Spirit taking form on Earth.   I was merely one of many, but also one with many and with the One Spirit we were all sharing.  I was made keenly aware of this crucial factor by a voice that spoke with me as the “sound of many waters,” for it was like an entire page had been condensed into a single word of vibrational information and instruction.  Thus does the voice of spirit speak with us when we come into the presence of the Christ radiance.   

The Eighth Chakra – The Temple of Light

The focal point of light above the head is just a couple of inches higher than the seventh or Crown Chakra.  My sensing is that what hovers here is a focus of the ascending fire of love at the level of what we might call the Eighth Chakra, a swirling wheel of ascending and descending currents that connect us with higher dimensions of being.  When I touch into this center during Attunement, I am immediately aware of a focus of spirit radiating a magnetic force field. This is drawing upward the substance of pneumaplasm generated during the Attunement session, much as a candle’s flame draws the wax and oxygen up into and around the wick at the center of the flame where the wax is transmuted by fire. At a certain point in this process, the quantity and quality of the responding substance of pneumaplasm is sufficient to convey and reflect the current of love radiation. There is a unified release of love in the body temple and through it into the world. It is possible to understand how this substance could be dense enough to reveal the presence of “cloven tongues like unto fire,” as is written in the gospel story of the Day of Pentecost. (Acts 2:1-3)     

This flame, as I indicated, draws the fine substance of response generated and gathered during the Attunement session. The two who are sharing in the release of the current of blessing in Attunement may become consciously aware of their oneness that is already a reality in heaven. The movement of the Attunement current forms a metaphorical figure 8 in the configuration of the pair, with one standing in a position of “giving” and the other in the position of “receiving” the current. The returning cycle moves upward through them both. The two may then become aware that they share a single identity—indeed, that I AM the Attunement current of radiant love extending the blessing of my Self into the world. There is only one ascending flame. 

Uranda stated, and I sense as well, that this is the focal point of the Christ Radiance, or the White Ray of Divine Light, in our spiritual bodies.  Here is the ascending flame of worship in our body temple transmuting physical substance, lifting its essences upward as incense before the throne of God in heaven. This center provides an aperture for the radiation of the White Ray of Light, which may be what is represented by the “halo” reportedly seen hovering over the heads of saintly people. Artists often depict Jesus as having a halo above his head. There is no doubt in my mind that it is the glow of the ascending flame made visible by reason of ascending pneumaplasm as it is refined in the fire of love in the “Temple of Light.”

Uranda described seven steps to the Temple of Light. The seventh step is Love.  Love is not the destination or place of arrival; the Temple of Light is the destination, the place the seven steps lead to, and Love is the final step before entering. The instruction of the Master is to love the Lord our God with all and our neighbor as our Self.  Upon mastering this commandment, we may freely enter the Temple of Light. In the Temple of Light we lose all sense of separate individuality and know the All, utterly aware of our oneness in the Light and with all of creation. ( From: SACRED ANATOMY, pp 64-67). Until my next post,

Be love. Be loved
