What Bodies? Isn’t there only one Body? - (2378)

Introduction

This is the first hurdle regarding the topic of the bodies.

Before hearing about ‘the bodies’ we believe that there is only one body – the physical body. However, the esoteric teachings say that there are several bodies available to the human being.

The reason why there are several bodies is because of the multi-dimensionality of space.

As to why there are multiple dimensions and as to why there are the specific number of dimensions that there are, is all a matter of the Absolute.

Why the Absolute unfolded Itself into creation the way it has, is something mostly unknown to us. But none the less we can still gain a kind of understanding about al of this. Read the next sub-section...

Maybe a Kabbalist could have something more to say about that, as it is really a matter of the study of the Tree of Life.

If there is a Dimension there is a Body

There are the seven dimensions in nature set up by the Law of Seven. In each of these dimensions the teachings tell us that there is ‘creation brought to life’. As ‘creation brought to life’ is a mixture of spirit and matter there must be matter and there must be spirit. The best thing to bring these two, i.e. matter and spirit together is a body.

A Body is the Crossing of Matter and Spirit

A body in any dimension brings the universal aspects of creation together. That is allows matter and spirit to be combined so that there can be created life in that dimension.

This brings us to the conclusion that if there is a dimension of creation there is a body.

Why 'Bodies' Then?

After that explanation I think we can produce an answer to the question of why there are bodies and not just one body.

The answer lies in creation being multi-dimensional. Certainly if creation only unfolded into one dimension there could only ever be one body.

The answer also has to do with the way creation unfolds. Creation unfolds via a cascade. That is from one dimension to another in that one dimension flows into another and overlaps with the other. This means that if there is anything physical, it has come to be physical by having cascaded down from the dimensions above.

All of this means that every human being has seven dimension to it. And then if every human being has seven dimensions that means that every human being can have seven bodies.
