Although each of the four planes corresponding to the four bodies has a unique atomic frequency, providing the opportunity for a unique expression of the soul’s potential, the four lower bodies interpenetrate one another and are connected through the etheric [[chakra]]s anchored in the physical body through the central nervous system and the endocrine system. In this way the bodies function as a unit; and thought, feeling, and memory patterns passing through the physical body create ripples of vibration simultaneously on the mental, emotional, and etheric planes. | Although each of the four planes corresponding to the four bodies has a unique atomic frequency, providing the opportunity for a unique expression of the soul’s potential, the four lower bodies interpenetrate one another and are connected through the etheric [[chakra]]s anchored in the physical body through the central nervous system and the endocrine system.

The four vehicles may be thought of as four colanders or drums, one inside of the other. The etheric body is the largest; within that is the mental body, then the emotional body, and finally the physical body. The light of the Christ consciousness flows through a dot pattern perforated upon the fabric of each of man’s bodies. The dot pattern of each body is different. (They also vary from one individual to the next according to the divine blueprint.) However, certain corresponding keys within the patterns provide for the meshing of the energies of the four “drums,” allowing each individual to integrate his four body functions and his personality. Only when the perforations are in perfect alignment (when the holes of the four “colanders” are directly opposite each other) can the light flow brilliantly and steadfastly. When the holes of the “colanders” are completely out of alignment, the light can at best only seep through and the individual becomes sluggish and inefficient. | The four vehicles may be thought of as four colanders or drums, one inside of the other.

The mental body, at the east of the city, was designed to be the chalice of the [[mind of God]] through his [[Christ]], providing man with perfect attunement with the very Hub of Life in the center of Cosmos and with the white fire core of every atom in manifestation. Through the geometric matrices of perfection established in the mental body, man is able to command the forces of Nature, to control his universe, and to be the Great Alchemist. | The mental body, at the east of the city, was designed to be the chalice of the [[mind of God]] through his [[Christ]], providing man with perfect attunement with the very Hub of Life in the center of Cosmos and with the white-fire core of every atom in manifestation.

When the mental (air) body of man becomes filled with the vanities of worldly wisdom, it is no longer resilient, no longer responsive to the delicate chords of the lost Word. ’Tis then that the logic of the serpent captivates his mind, and he lowers the cup of his consciousness to partake of the double standard. In this manner the carnal mind displaces the image of the Christ; usurping the throne of authority in the mental body, it reigns supreme in the synthetic consciousness. | When the mental (air) body of man becomes filled with the vanities of worldly wisdom, it is no longer resilient, no longer responsive to the delicate chords of the lost Word. ’Tis then that the logic of the serpent captivates his mind, and he lowers the cup of his consciousness to partake of the double standard.

The physical body, corresponding to the side of the west, provides the opportunity for man to express the ''summum bonum'' of his consciousness in Matter. As the higher etheric body contains the blueprint of individuality in higher planes, so on earth man sculpts the pattern of his identity upon the substance of his physical body. Formed “of the dust of the ground,” which no longer sparkles with the radiance of the white fire core, this tabernacle of the soul, this temple of the living God, is not transparent as it used to be, emitting the radiance of the Universal Christ. Instead of being the focal point for the crystallization of the divine plan, man’s physical (earth) body has become the sepulcher of the imperfect thoughts and feelings recorded upon his lower etheric body. | The physical body, corresponding to the side of the west, provides the opportunity for man to express the ''summum bonum'' of his consciousness in Matter.
