<blockquote>Each of the chakras has a special function, and we shall consider these functions step by step.

These chakras are located at the base of the spine, over the spleen, over the navel, over the heart, at the throat, on the brow, and at the crown. The placement of these chakras to correspond with nerve centers in the physical body was adjusted during the epoch of the [[Fall of man|Fall of Man]]. There remains, however, in the ''higher etheric body'' the line of the seven chakras as forcefields for the seven rays; and these are for the distribution in the four lower bodies of the frequencies of the seven [[Elohim]], known as the seven Spirits of God.<ref>{{THA}}, book2, chapter 7.</ref></blockquote> | ||
