THE TEN BODIES

 

“THE CIRCUMVENT FORCE HAS A CURRENT LIKE A LIGHT, WHICH GOES THROUGH YOUR WHOLE BODY IN AN OVAL SHAPE. YOUR VIBRATION—WHATEVER YOU SAY, CREATE, THINK—IS WHAT WE CALL A PROTECTIVE SHIELD OR CIRCUMVENT FORCE. WHEN THAT BECOMES WEAK IN A MAN, HE IS TRAPPED BY NEGATIVE FORCES. HE BECOMES PHYSICALLY SICK, MENTALLY INSANE, SPIRITUALLY DEFUNCT. IN THIS UNIVERSE THERE ARE POSITIVE FORCES AND THERE ARE NEGATIVE FORCES, AND YOUR OWN VIBRATIONS FEED THE CIRCUMVENT FORCE. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND. YOUR OWN VIBRATION FEEDS THE CIRCUMVENT FORCE, AND THE WEAKER IT IS, THE WEAKER THE VIBRATION YOU RELATE TO… EVERYBODY VIBRATES AND THESE VIBRATIONS INTERCHANGE AND COMMUNICATE BETTER THAN WHAT YOU COMMUNICATE THROUGH THE TONGUE. WHATEVER YOUR MENTAL THOUGHTS ARE, THAT IS YOUR AURA AND THAT IS THE COLOR OF YOUR AURA. YOUR AURA IS DETERMINED BY WHAT YOU VIBRATE. THERE IS A CONSTANT COLOR THAT YOUR CIRCUMVENT FORCE IS. WE CALL IT THE PROTECTIVE SHIELD AND WHAT THE PROTECTIVE SHIELD IS, THAT IS WHAT YOUR LIFE IS… MAN CAN HIDE HIS WORDS. HE CAN USE POLISHED LANGUAGE. HE CAN HIDE HIS REAL PERSONALITY BEHIND HIS UPFRONT OR PROJECTED PERSONALITY. YOU ALWAYS HAVE TWO PERSONALITIES. ONE IS YOUR REAL PERSONALITY, THE OTHER IS YOUR PROJECTED PERSONALITY. YOU ARE ALWAYS KNOWN BY YOUR PROJECTED PERSONALITY. EVERY ONE OF YOU WANTS HIS REAL PERSONALITY TO BE HIDDEN. BUT YOUR AURA ALWAYS REPRESENTS YOUR ORIGINAL PERSONALITY. SO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR ORIGINAL PERSONALITY AND YOUR PROJECTED PERSONALITY CAN IMMEDIATELY TELL A PERSON WHERE YOUR HEAD IS AT. IT'S NOT DIFFICULT. IT CAN BE VERY CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD AND KNOWN.”

We want all of our energetic bodies (like w/ our Chakras) balanced and under our command rather than running the show willy nilly. As with the Chakras these are the energetic tool boxes to go to when something if off or imbalanced. We gain empowerment, healing + expansion through accessing and balancing our energy in the same way we would in healing or shifting something solely physical, emotional or a default mental setting. These are allies. If you want courage, to be more fully seen or to feel more beautiful dig into the energetics of the Radiant Body.
