You Have Seven Bodies - Not Just One

Your Body #1 (the lowest in the power hierarchy of bodies) is your physical body. It is the lowest because all other human bodies (all intangible, invisible, spiritual) can control the physical body – not the other way around (every competent psychologist knows that your mind, heart and soul have the power over your physical, tangible body in flesh and blood).

Mainstream science (biology) is more or less – less, actually – familiar with human physical body… alas, it has no clue about six others (it does not even know that they exist). Thus, mainstream science possesses less than 15% of knowledge about humans – simply because it does not have the tools to study the other 85%.

This is the biggest flaw of mainstream science – whenever it does not have the tools to study something (which happens all the time), it just claims that this ‘something’ does not exist (such as life force chi-ki-prana, for example).

Human life force (actually, its lower component) dwells in Body #2 – your ethereal body. This body can (and must) be probably managed with highly efficient tools known for millennia – yoga, Tai-chi, Qigong, martial arts, etc.

Your Body #3 (your astral body) contains temporary, transitory, mortal components of your heart, mind and soul. These components die after the physical and ethereal body die (ethereal body dies 9 days after the death of a physical body and the astral body and the astral body 40 days after the physical body dies).

Your Body #4 (your mutable body) is the bridge between mortal and immortal; temporary and eternal; this life and the afterlife. 40 days after the death of a physical body, the mutable body splits in two. The lower half dies with the lower three bodies; the upper half goes with three higher bodies into Eternity.

Your Body #5 (your mental body) is your rational mind… or simply your Mind. Which is immortal – just like higher (upper) components of your heart, mind and soul. After your physical body dies, your mental body goes to Eternity.

Your Body #6 (your elemental body) is what is usually called your heart, soul and spirit – your three key elements. It is also immortal and thus after the death of your three lower bodies leaves for Eternity.

Your Body #7 (your transcendental body) is your connection to the Divine. To Higher Power, to the Holy Trinity. Obviously, it is also immortal (however, it does not necessarily end up in God’s Realm in the afterlife).
