At death, our chakras, which have acted as tape recorders of all our thoughts and actions from past lives, hold a karmic blueprint of how we are likely to be in the next physical incarnation.
After conception the first development in the reincarnating child is the brain and spine. As the electrical karmically bound astral body enters the womb at conception, so the DNA and karmically guided life force work together to mould the babies form.
The physical body is directly sustained and guided by the life currents of the astral body. There is no judgment, only a measure for measure strengthening or weakening of intelligence or health based on the effects of the habituated sum of all our past thoughts and actions.
Different thoughts and actions resonate to the strength of consciousness in the different chakras. The lower chakras can resonate to the more negative, restless, selfish, body-bound tendencies and the upper chakras are home to the selfless, calm, intuitive and positive thoughts.
Man is a miniature of the universe in which he lives. His physical body is merely a gross manifestation of his astral body formed from the thoughts of God and structures from the creative forces and consciousness in the spiritual eye and the chakras (subtle cerebrospinal centers). By correct thoughts and actions and through scientific concentration techniques of meditation, one can cleanse and strengthen one’s connection to the chakras to allow the Sushumna currents (kundalini) of Ida and Pingala to enter the brain and enliven his consciousness to a blissful realization of her or his true nature.
The names of the 7 chakras are as follows: COCCYGEAL (root or Muladhara), SACRAL (Svadhisthana), LUMBAR(Manipura opposite the Navel), DORSAL (Heart or Anahata), CERVICAL (Throat or Vishuddha), CHRIST CENTER (Ajnabetween the eyebrows), CROWN (Sahasrara).
" The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.” REVELATION 1:20
