One of the most exciting and perhaps most important aspects of the philosophy of Inner Alchemy is the acknowledgement of the Radiant Body. It is the sum total of all the bodies, and more. It reflects what we Are… and yet who we as personalities are not. Strong. Luminous. Whole.
I have worked for years with the human structure. Many years ago I observed that both physical and psychological forms are built around and upon billions of light particles. These miniscule yet immensely potent nuclei feed and sustain the atomic structure which in turn determines the quality of energies available for personality use. It is as if our real structure is something akin to a field of radiant light particles which comprises the mould or basic pattern upon which all our bodies are constructed. I noticed too that this light blueprint can be more or less luminous. The quality of the light, I found, is a direct result of the level of sustained consciousness of an individual.
I observed that these light centres qualify matter and modify it. One could say that they transmute it, much like the process in alchemy that is said to transmute lead into gold. For this to happen, two things are needed: (1) physical fuel, and (2) consciousness. The first is a healthy body, the result of physical discipline, coordination and attunement with greater Nature. The second is the result of a quality of awareness which relates to sustained mental purity and spiritual focus. For the first, body methods are needed. For the second, the development of an identity which is not personal or sequential but rather a non-linear function of intelligence. Something like an ability to be awake and neutral in a continuous present. It is this central intelligence, as consciousness, which determines the frequency and quality-range of the whole. In an awakened total body system, including behaviour, the points of light are no longer mere nuclei, they constitute a truly radiant form. This radiant form is now a resonant integrated field, immensely powerful, supple and versatile. It is able to function appropriately in the here-now, but it is also able to function multi-dimensionally.
People’s light structures, when activated, become interrelated through filaments of vitality/consciousness which together weave a huge luminous carpet. This enables the energy to travel in zigzag patterns from person to person, conducting both vitality and potential consciousness. The sum effect is like that in a magic carpet, everyone taking flight aloft a vibrant radiant field of intelligent life force.
It is important to understand that consciousness happens but doesn’t always remain. Sustaining consciousness at its highest level is the responsibility of every individual by him or herself. Each person must discover himself as a personality, idiosyncrasies and limitations as well as talents and virtues. Each person must seek to unveil the Self, soul qualities, essential frequencies, the true perfume of one’s individuality. Each must learn discernment in order to eliminate self-sabotage and know how to choose from life’s alternatives for growth. To sustain consciousness we must know when and how to step aside from the chattering complicated mind without losing our precious individuality and spontaneity.
We often use the Naad, or sound currents, to clear and strengthen essential Self patterns. This is combined with the potent life force flowing through the conduits of the human body within angles, postures or movements. It is a complete system which only requires that the individual hold himself firm. Intelligent understanding and loving cooperation are the ingredients we need to bring to the system.
In our practices we coordinate and heighten the experience of energy. People are invited to learn how to centre and align consciously, and how to check themselves to know when they are off centre in order to correct it. We promote playfulness with awareness levels at each of the three main bodies of worldly expression in order to discern emotional from sensory or mental feelings and impressions. Physical, mental and emotional functions once understood may be sensed both separately and together as an integrated auric field. It is at this point that the higher bodies may be fuelled and connected consciously and we can come to feel whole.
There is really no within or without. The LIGHT within is our true nature. Only we have to remember it… know it… feel it… love it… treasure and respect it… and last but not least dare to BE it.
