The seven chakras and churches
The seven chakras and churches

The first church, called Ephesus or chakra Muladhara, has four marvelous petals which are situated in the coccygeal bone. The coccyx is the base-bone of the dorsal spine (everything related with the seven churches or chakras is found in the books The Aquarian Message and Kundalini Yoga: The Mysteries of Fire).

The second church of Smyrna or chakra Svadhisthana is situated at the level of the prostate (uterus in the woman); it is the prostatic or uterine chakra. The ancient Persians and Egyptian magicians gave a lot of importance to the prostate.The letter which makes this chakra vibrate is the M, it is pronounced with closed lips by increasing and decreasing the tone of the sound. The M is of a singular power; the magicians utilize it.

The third church of Pergamos or chakra Manipura is situated in the solar plexus, the umbilical chakra. It has ten petals; five are active in the ethereal body and the other five are latent in the telepathic center. Here we find the Emotional Brain, and when this chakra is developed, telepathy is achieved.

The fourth church of Thyatira or chakra Anahata is situated in the heart, the cardias. It is a lotus flower that has twelve petals which blazingly shine within the Astral Light. It is good to develop this chakra in order to learn how to enter and exit from the physical body at will. Moreover, with this chakra developed, to travel with the body of flesh and bones within the fourth dimension while in Jinn state is easy.

The fifth church of Sardis or chakra Vishuddha is situated in the thyroid gland. This is the chakra of the larynx, which grants us clairaudience. It has sixteen petals.

The sixth church of Philadelphia or chakra Ajna is situated between the eyebrows. This is the frontal chakra. It has two petals. Here we find the center of clairvoyance. The aura of people and the superior worlds can be seen with it.

The seventh church of Laodicea or chakra Sahasrara is the king of the chakras. This chakra has one thousand petals. It is the center of polyvoyance, the center of intuition, the Diamond Eye.

Each one of the chakras of the Nadi Chitra is awakened while the Kundalini is ascending in the Brahmanadi along the spinal medulla. The igneous serpent is related in Kabbalah with the whole Kabbalistic tree.

What do we need in order to awaken the chakras?

The principal point in the first church of Ephesus is the virtue of patience. In order to handle the creative energy, what is required is the patience of Saint Job. Lucifer is a ladder to descend, and Lucifer is a ladder to ascend.

Chastity is the virtue of the second church of Smyrna.

The third chakra is the umbilical chakra or the center of emotions. Then, the special virtue for this is the control of emotions, to kill desires, passions, like gluttony, drunkenness, etc. You must be temperate, to not allow emotions to drive you.

The fourth chakra is in the heart; this is the center of love. One has to know how to love, to not hate. The foundation of this chakra is love.

The fifth church is Sardis. It is related with the intellect, the mind. One must take care of the Word, the Verb; just thought, just word, and just action, upright thought, upright feeling, and upright action. Take care of the mind and of the word. It is just as wrong to speak when one has to be silent as it is to be silent when one has to speak. Sometimes it is a crime to speak, as well as it is sometimes a crime to become silent. There exist criminal silent attitudes.

In the sixth church one needs serenity in order to have clairvoyance. In order to see in the internal worlds, one has to not allow oneself to be driven by anger, because anger destroys the frontal chakra. Therefore, serenity is required.

Heightened devotion, complete sanctity, and willpower are needed in order for the development of the seventh church.

Virtues and qualities are related with the Kabbalistic tree, with its ten numbers and its correlation with the seven churches.
