More on the upper and lower mental body [63.3focus]

We have been putting emphasis lately on the higher mental body and the lower mental body. Nobody came up with the brilliant idea of ​​wondering if there is a lower physical body, a higher physical body, a lower astral body and a higher astral body, etc.

None of you have come to ask and so now I ask you io: if yes, and I am sure that you will answer yes because you will certainly imagine that it is so, then I do not ask you "if yes" but I ask you "why".

D - For the "so high, so low" ...

Eh ... it's too simple that way, dear! It's too comfortable too! Do not try too hard and keep in mind, however, that these subdivisions are always, in any case, in support of your possibility of understanding: things are not as schematizable, as quantifiable, as simplified as we are currently bringing you.

If we were to really examine the mental body; for example, structure by structure, you would see that there is no higher mental body, a lower mental body: that is a subdivision that we make to make you understand conceptually how the mechanisms within the mental body or other bodies take place. In reality, within the mental body there are different qualities of matter, each of which is responsible for a specific function or situation, but if we were to talk to you matter by matter, you would all go crazy.

Let's go in order: then we said about the mental body that there is this hypothetical superior mental body to which, if I am not mistaken, we had connected… what?

D - The archetypes fixed. 

Well done. Then there is this hypothetical lower mental body to which we had instead connected the transient archetypes, and how did we explain this differentiation? With the fact that the upper mental body part was more directly subjected to the vibrations coming from the akasic, while the lower mental part was less subjected to these vibrations, right? Now the exact same thing can be considered for the other bodies of the individual.

Let's take the astral body, we can (hypothetically, always, I recommend) hypothesize the existence of a higher astral and a lower astral. The upper astral body part is more directly in contact with the lower mental, the lower astral part is more directly in contact with the physical body.

Now, at this point, the doubt that could assail you is: "But does this also apply to the physical body?" Is there a higher physical body, a lower physical body? Certainly you will say yes, because "so high, so low" then yes that's fine, so let's take it for granted: we have the physical body with higher matter in contact mainly, more directly, with the astral energy, and the lower physical body in contact with what?

D - With the earth ...

With the external environment. So if you think for a moment about what the external environment is, and think about the fact that the external environment is nothing but the manifestation of the Reality through which Vibration First it manifests itself, you will see that in reality the circle that we had ideally traced: akasic, mental, astral and physical; physical, astral, mental and Akasic is not so well defined but there is an extra link, namely: Akasic, mental, astral, physical, external; external, physical, astral, mental, Akasic.

This is to make you understand that this is the explanation of why it is necessary for the individual to gain experience and evolution live his experience within the physical plane, for only in this way can the lower cycle of the individual, the one which allows him to experience, can be complete. Do you agree on this?

It can give you a logical motivation for a discourse that you had accepted, after all, almost as a dogma, but which now, perhaps, finds its logical explanation, more rational in the context of teaching, and which can - all in all - make it easier for you. understand that everything is truly united with the Whole. Clearly there is still a great deal of reasoning on this subject, but I would prefer to leave it aside for the time being. Do you have any clarification to ask at the moment?

[...] Now all the experiences and, therefore, all the vibrations that are carried by the experiences, pass through certain types of matter: every experience is carried by a certain type of vibration, right? Therefore to each type of vibration corresponds a passage in a certain type of matter; certainly I can clarify that it is not limited to that type of matter, but that type of matter is the matter that carries that type of vibration, which helps the propagation of that vibration but which, however, resonates with the other vibrations and forms a whole. 'unique. There is, therefore, any kind of experience that stops or uses only a particular subject, but the effect of that vibration and that experience propagates throughout the matter within the individual's body.

Its effects, therefore, multiply in the various branches, also because they never bring a single understanding: every understanding that you make is made up of thousands of little understandings which branch off in various directions; if you learn not to steal, you don't just learn not to steal, you learn that stealing is wrong, you learn that stealing is wrong because you took something from another, you learn that stealing is wrong because you didn't need what you stole, and away and away; it is not simply the concept of not stealing, there are many other concepts connected to the experience you have; and it is this that expands through the various intersections and branches that we talked about a long time ago that lead to the aggregation, the formation, the constitution of your body of consciousness.

Q - But isn't there an anatomical division between the lower physical body and the higher physical body?
Q - It occurs to me that the upper physical body must contain the points where the chakras are ...

Also, but if you want to go back to this topic again we can say that, clearly, the coarser matter can be considered the lower physical body, the more subtle matter can be considered the matter of the higher physical body, the closest one, the more subjected one. directly to the vibrations coming from the astral body. But this is not that it has a great importance: the important thing is to make you understand how, through this continuous exchange of vibrations, all bodies are between sé interacting and how all bodies form a single whole, whose various influences do not remain stationary in a very particular place, but have branches, consequences that propagate throughout the individual, and from the individual then spread throughout the whole Reality.

But, I said that I was expecting another question that was not asked: we mentioned that the upper mental body thinks in a certain way and the lower mental body thinks in another way by saying, superficially enough, that the higher mental body thinks through symbols, and the lower mental body through words and images, however, I ask you creatures: what are words?

D - Vibrations?
D - Symbols?

Symbols, then decoded by the habit of each of you to perceive certain images, certain shapes, certain colors and on and on and on, therefore, perhaps, it would have been necessary on your part to ask for a greater clarification on this distinction between the way of thinking. of the higher mental body and the way of reasoning of the lower mental body since, in the end, both these parts of the same entity which is the mental body, reason through symbols or does it not seem to you?

The differences between the two supposed ways of reasoning of the mental body reside in the fact that the lower mental body, being closer to the needs of the ego and to the experiences of the ego within the physical body, it tends to constitute, to create thoughts and reasonings which mainly concern the ego (therefore its life within the physical plane, its illusory life within the physical plane ), and to clothe it with those concepts, those words and those images that the Ego has in itself in order to try to satisfy itself.

The higher mental body, on the other hand, being closer to the Akasic body he covers his reasoning with the instances that come from the Akasic body, therefore from more abstract concepts, much more rarefied and difficult to cover with elements that are openly referred to the needs of the individual. I do not know if I was able to explain, if you want clarification ask me because this is an important point for what will come later.

Q - We were talking earlier about philosophical speculations, mathematical speculations, is abstract thought linked to this superior?

Yes and no: the concepts that can be expressed by a philosophical thought, the abstract concepts that can be expressed by a mathematical concept, can be related to the higher mental body, but the way in which these concepts are elaborated refers to the lower mental body , therefore to the needs of the Ego that elaborates them.

Q - What is the completely abstract concept, does it exist? I think not ... what is absolutely not related to the ego.

What is absolutely not tied to the ego is all that concept, those concepts that come from the akasic body up… So it seems clear to me at this point, if you really think about it for a moment that abstract, symbolic-abstract reasoning cannot have its genesis except in what are the fixed archetypes; it can only be like this, while it is equally evident that the reasoning covered with images, concepts, words relating to the ego can only be those deriving from these famous transient archetypes of which we will see the birth, development and so on and on later.

On the other hand, if you keep these two points in mind you will see that then you will be able to understand the rest better too: these are two essential points to get to understand the logical consequences, so logical that our meetings could end here and you could come to discover all the rest of Reality on this subject that I have not yet directly or openly brought to you up to this moment. But since you are lazy I am forced to tell you.

D - The fact of this lower mind which is closest to the ego ...

Wait a minute, first a clarification: it's not that the lower mental body is closer to the ego and the higher mental body less close to the ego, both are part of the ego… they have different influences.

D - But it was said that the superior is more likely to be influenced by the Akasic ...

But it too is part of the ego... let this be clear.

[...] The ego does not exist, but is formed by the interactions of the lower bodies. It is clear that it is formed by the reactions of the mental body, the astral body and the physical body during the experience: certainly the higher mental body receives the impulses directly to direct the person towards the experience on the physical plane, on this there is no is shadow of doubt: the fact remains that even the lower mental body directs the person in this direction, the function is always the same. It is then from the movement of these bodies that the ego is put into action.

[…] However, both the inferior and the superior mental body have the same function in the creation of that illusory creature which is the ego, and exist precisely so that the ego can be constituted. Do not forget, creatures, that just as it is necessary for each individual to go towards the overcoming of the Self, it is also equally necessary for every creature to go towards the creation of the Self first.
