Crystal cord: Difference between revisions

<blockquote>Some of the students are aware that when it became necessary to restrict mankind because of his viciousness and bestiality, the [[Lords of Karma]] did cut the allotment of cosmic energy for many lifestreams upon the planet until the stream of Life flowing into the body of man at the top of the head (which had once been the size of the [[tube of light]]) became a very narrow cord of silvery light-substance through which a relatively minute portion of energy could flow.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Because there is a relationship between the apportioned size of the lifestream, or silver cord, and the spectrum of consciousness upon which man’s awareness vibrates, the reduction in the actual size of the cord caused a corresponding decrease in the number of years of the allotted life span of mankind as well as a gradual shrinking of the spectrum of consciousness.</blockquote>

<blockquote>You will recall that in the days of Methuselah men did live to be many hundreds of years old. Then the shrinking of the rate of descending energy was reflected in a shrinking of the life span, together with the aforementioned spectrum of consciousness.</blockquote>

<blockquote>In a practical manner, this meant that the vibratory peaks of happiness which could be experienced by man and those of consciousness and of awareness were also diminished. And while, through the power of various spiritual exercises, mankind have been able to expand their consciousness, the physical vessel of man and his brain structure have continually impeded the flow of the vital essences because of the shrinking of the cup of consciousness.<ref>{{TSO}}, ch. 12; {{POWref|8|14}}</ref></blockquote>
