Let's go back to what has been said about the astral plane for a moment, trying to underline how much it is also valid for the mental plane and how much, instead, is peculiar only to this plane.
The mental plane is also made up of matter that is being formed thanks to the aggregation of that basic material unit of mental matter that we have defined in the past. elementary unit mental.
The matter of the mental plane - similarly to what we said for the astral plane - can be divided (for theoretical convenience) into seven subplanes classifiable on the basis of the density of the mental matter that composes them. Thus we go from the sub-plane of denser matter (beyond which we arrive at astral matter) to the less dense one (beyond which we arrive at Akasic matter).
Just as the matter of the astral plane possesses the ability to change and transform itself under the pressure of desires and emotions by responding to the emotional stimuli that come from the experience lived on the physical plane, the same happens for the mental plane.
In this case, however, it is thought that induces transformations in the mental matter that will promptly respond to every thought emitted by a mental body, bringing into being particular characteristics such as, for example, the possibility, for those who are disembodied and conscious on the mental plane, to be able to get to know everything that in the past of man has been known with the help of the sole thrust of the desire to know.

It is evident that also on this level the urge to act is provided by desire and, therefore, by the needs of the Akasic body: without it the individual would not move and the life of his bodies on the various planes would be extremely static.
Returning for a moment to sub-planes of the mental plane, we can argue that the lower planes, the denser ones, have an influence mainly on the physical and physiological functions (as well as on the astral ones) of the individual's body as well as on the use of language and words, while the more subtle ones provide the individual the thinking abilities, that is the abilities of elaboration, synthesis, correlation and so on, all those abilities, in short, which usually - for those who are not as familiar with the esoteric teaching as you - are wrongly attributed to the brain.
The brain, on the other hand, is not the producer of thought: it constitutes the main point of contact of the physical body with the mental body, it is a sort of receptor, a translator of what the mental body processes, and has the purpose of making it possible for the embodied individual to externalize on the physical and to relate both with external complexity and with personal internal complexity.
It is through the brain (but not only, because the mental matter also directly contacts all the points of the physical body by implementing local mechanisms of physiological self-defense, for example) that the mental body affects the physical body, makes it move and act to follow what the thoughts that the mental body has elaborated cause it to experience in the course of life.
If I asked you what the mental body is for I am sure that all of you would answer that it is for thinking and io I could only agree, however the mental body is more complex and has other important functions besides that of processing thought, functions that we will observe later.
On the other hand, as far as thought is concerned, you could commit the mistake of believing that it has its birth, its genesis, within the mental body, while in reality it is not so: thought is born and is formed under the thrust of the needs of understanding Akasic and, even more precisely, are the Akasic vibrations which, interacting with mental matter, set in motion within it that set of vibrations that lead mental matter to process that form of data concatenati which constitutes what is commonly called thought.
But we will see later to give you a somewhat less than approximate picture of how and why this happens, hoping to be as clear as possible in a field that is difficult to explain by putting it within the reach of individuals chained to physicality.
Of course, what has been said for the astral body is also valid for the mental body: there is a mental atmosphere and there is a mental environment; their general characteristics are comparable to what has been said for the astral and physical body (see the volume “The source of desire and emotions, ed) and it is not very important to dwell on them more than much, except to emphasize that the amplitude and strength of this environment and this atmosphere are directly related to the quality and strength of the vibrations emitted by the materials that make up the body mind of the embodied individual.

Revolutionary concepts, albeit already encountered in the path of the contemplative path.
They exercise fascination and encounter some resistance to opening up to the new, as well as some difficulty in understanding.
I stay listening.
Another blow falls on the ego that claims to identify itself with its own thought. Here the activity of thought itself is questioned as an autonomous activity generated by the mind.
Thought has its source in consciousness.
Very clear!
Clear topic. Very useful review.
I had never asked myself the question but if it is the Akasic body that creates our scenes, it is clear that thought also has its origin there.
Thank you.
