身体---神的殿堂-3

SECRET STRUCTURE秘密身体结构

Many of the body’s major systems may be used for both physical and spiritualactivity. For example, the seven major endocrine glands that secrete hormonesdirectly into the bloodstream to keep the body running optimally are also aphysical portion of the seven spiritual centers or chakras that can affectmajor changes in our vibrations and consciousness. The central nervous system,so vital to living in the three-dimensional world, is also a portion of thekundalini pathway that can raise our vibrations and help us perceive beyondthree dimensions.

身体的有些系统既可以有物理的活动，也可以有灵性活动的。例如，七个主要内分泌腺产生荷尔蒙，通过血液使身体最优地运行，但同时它们也是灵性中心或者叫脉轮---可以影响和改变我们的震动和意识水平。中枢神经系统对我们三维空间的生活非常重要，同时又是昆达里尼的运行途径---让我们提升震动并感知超三维空间。

Much of this was known in the sacred and often secret temple schools of ancientcultures around the world. For example, the staff carried by the god Mercury(also known as Hermes by the Greeks, Thoth by the Egyptians, and Enoch by theHebrews, and who Cayce said was an incarnation of “the Word”) remains today asthe emblem of modern medicine (the caduceus). But few really know its intendedmeaning. It is an excellent emblem for physical healing, but it also containsthe metaphysical structure of the body for spiritual flight, flight with themessenger of the gods, Mercury, into the heavens and the presence of the MostHigh God (see diagram on the front page).

大多数此类知识存在于世界各种古老的文化的神圣或什么教导中。例如，水星之神(也就是希腊的Hermes、埃及人的月神Thoth、希伯来的以诺，凯西资料认可他就是“道成肉身”)的双蛇手杖(caduceus)变成当今医者的标记。但很少人真正理解其含义。这其实是身体治疗的极好的象征符号，但同时它也含有灵性的意义---与神的信使水星一起飞翔，进入天堂。

An important but often forgotten teaching in several ancient temple schoolsdealt with the movement of the life force in the body. It was taught that whenthe life force flows downward and outward through the body’s structures, onebecomes fully incarnate and conscious in this world; when the life force flowsinward and upward through these same structures, then one moves beyond thisreality and becomes conscious of the heavens. If both flows are made tocirculate the life force, then integration occurs, and the person becomeswhole, both human and divine. Cayce and other sources teach that this isaccomplished by using the breath. The Taoist teacher Liu Hua-yang wrote: “Thereis a turn upward toward Heaven when the breath is drawn in. When the breathflows out, energy is directed towards the Earth. In two intervals one gathersSacred Energy.”

在一些远古的教派中，有一个非常重要但经常被遗忘的关于身体生命之力的教导。生命之力是围绕身体内上下流动的，那么人就完整地感受和驻足这个世界；而当生命之力进出身体时，他就可以有超物质界的感知---有意识到天堂的所在。如果两种运动同时存在，那么整合发生，他就会完整---同时有人性和神性。凯西等资料教导了通过呼吸的使用来达成。

Edgar Cayce’s readings affirm these energy flows and encourage us to work atentering the temple within and raising the life force in order to draw closerto God and receive His/Her counsel and comfort, and ultimately to become onewith God. In the process, we are to channel that light and love into thisworld, into our lives and the lives of those we interact with each day. This,according to many spiritual teachers and schools, is the primary lesson to belearned in this incarnation: know and love God completely and channel thatlight and love into this life’s daily opportunities with others. Entering thetemple, raising the energy, enlivening the spiritual centers, and uniting withGod are not necessary to living a spiritual, loving life. But, if one wants toexperience the whole of God consciousness and eternal life, then one needs toraise the body’s vibrations and experience higher states of consciousness.Moses could not ascend the mountain and meet God face to face until he firstgave water to the seven maidens and raised the serpent off the desert floor --symbolic of enlivening the seven spiritual centers and raising the kundalinienergy.

凯西解读肯定了这种能量的流动，并鼓励我们探索内心的神殿，以升起生命之力去靠近神、接受神的指导和安慰，最终地与神合一。在此过程中，我们将光和爱传递给这个世界、给我们的生活和周围的人们。这是此生最主要的课程：完全地知晓和热爱神，传递光和爱。进入神殿、升起能量、激活灵性中心、与神合一，并不是活出灵性生命的必要条件。但是，如果想经历神的整体意识和永恒生命，就必须身体身体的震动和经历更高层次的意识。摩西如果没有给七个女子浇水和从沙漠地提升巨蛇---象征着七个灵性中心和升起的昆达里尼能量，他就无法上山面见上帝。

Let’s explore the body’s secret structure and some of the techniques forfinding God within us and channeling the light and love into our lives.

让我们来探索身体的秘密结构和在我们内心的发现上帝的技巧，来向我们的生活中传递光和爱。
