A Spiritual Astrology Journey - The World of Thought.

" As soon as we enter the realm of nature we are in the invisible, intangible world, where our ordinary senses fail us, hence parts of the Physical world is practically unexplored by material science. Air is invisible, yet modern science knows that it exists. By means of instrument its velocity as wind can be measured by compression it can be made visible as liquid air." - Max Heindel 

Wow what a day I have had! My study is taking me to feelings, and sensations I have never felt in my entire 50 years on this planet.

The work of Mr. Max Heindel, The Rosicrucian and followers have hit a chord with me. I have never felt so closely in tune with the philosophy and belief that man can enjoy a positive loving life, if he takes into account the energy and placement of the planets at the time of birth and the influence that does occur through forces that emanate from the worlds unseen, but certainly felt every day of our lives.

My last post discussed my humble interpretation of the second world, The World of Desire!

This topic,is again written with all the love and as a "newbie" student attempt to reflect on what I have learned in my study of the World of Thought. This is the unseen third world and the link between the personality and the ego. 

As with all worlds, there are seven regions in the World Of Thought:

Region of Concrete Thought:

1^st region is the Continental region.

2^nd region is the Oceanic region.  

3rd region is Aerial region .

4^th region is the region of archetype force  

Region of Abstract Thought

The  5^th region contains germinal idea of desire and emotion in animal and man, 3^rd aspect of spirit in man.

The 6^th region contains germinal idea of life in plant, animal and man.

The 7^th region contains the germinal idea of form in mineral, plan, animal and man.

So what does all this mean to the physical world, our world of substance and seeing? 

Simply stated this is where the ideas, the abstract force is formulated and reflected through the World of Desire,the Physical World and the fourth world, World of Life Spirit. I read today an example that may help you, as it did for me, make sense of this complex theology and prelude into spiritual astrology.

If we consider the physical world as the sponge(chemical), with a layer of sand (etheric) that soaks into and around the sponge, and the world of desire as a force of water, that is  like a pool within the sponge and then we take into account that water has air then the world of thought is the air and extends beyond. One point to remember, is that Worlds are not placed one above another, but interpenetrate. 

In order to travel to other spheres we must use a vehicle correlated to the material of that sphere.That vehicle is the world of life spirits or the fourth world. The world of thought is central one from which man obtains his vehicle. Here spirit and body meet. The ego and personality. If we consider the chemical region as being where all physical forms are built and that the activity or emotion is encourage by the twin feeling of the desire world then we can understand the dual role of the entire Thought world on the physical and the spirit worlds. 

As I explained earlier, the analogy with the sponge is also true for the planets in our solar system. Imagine that each planet like our own world was a sponge and the air and water (desire and thought) then a vehicle or vessel is required to form an interconnecting relationship. It makes sense that the World of Life Spirit is the water with thought and desire, in a large vehicle moving from our solar system to the other planets. 

   

Who would have thought, no pun intended, that so much theory and philosophy is required for the spiritual astrologer to accurately prepare and interpret the astrological chart for the individual. 

Equally who would have thought, I, who until three years ago, had not ever thought I would be applying the life of the unseen, the mystic, to reach an understanding, an enlightenment and a  standard where my contemporaries and the spirit of Max Heindel might one day be proud. I am one fortunate lady who is on the most exciting journey of love, excitement and adventure.

Again, I ask for response and discussion in order to challenge my interpretations and also to encourage my friends and readers to consider that the air we breathe, the wind we feel, the sun, the moon, the water and the form of our bodies is much more than what we see, feel and smell.
