100 The Kabbalah ofthe Golden Dawn
Within the technique of the Middle Pillar exercise we tend to
charge up the Etheric body by altering its polarity, and also tend, through
the help of the Kabbalistic Cross, to polarize the aura, so that the bodily
centers are in fact aligned correctly in each of the Subtle Body centers.
This, of course, differs from some of the Eastern teachings which advocate
altering these centers directly through tone vibrations on a mantram
effect. 97 While the Etheric body concentrates on passing this energy on to
the physical, the Nephesch has the function of sustaining this energy
through instinctive urgessuch as hunger, thirst, sex, and self-preservation.
The Etheric Body is much like an electronic grid map that is placed
on the physical body and must have a clear flow of energy to pass on to
the physical body. Where this flow is interrupted, mainly by congestion,
diseases are then forced through into the physical body, because the
vibrational pitch of energy that keeps a tissue, cell, or organ manufacturing
harmoniously is then prevented from achieving its range of output. Its
direct links to the physical body are extremely important.
The Etheric body is the regulator which must not pass too much
energy into the Physical Body.This would cause the psychic channels to
overload and produce overstimulation. This can manifest in many different
forms of stress, particularly on the nervous system and the endocrine
glands, which can, in turn, produce many blockages on the physical level.
The formulation of the energy from these areas to each other (etheric
body, nervous system, and glands) is the same field of energy impression
that works from the Ain, Ain Soph, and Ain Soph Aur.
The Erheric Body functions under the Kabbalistic World ofYetzirah
(Yetzirah comes from the Chaldee ITzR, meaning to "form or "make"). It
is the world of the unconscious that also relates to the dream states of
man. The main function of the Etheric Body is to receive and pass on
information and energy. This applies not only from the view of a down-
97 Technically speaking, the Golden Dawn version of the Middle Pillar groups the smaller or subchakras
together so that they handle the energy in ten divisions, but these divisions do not interfere
directly with the seven chakras.
Here the Kabbalistic meditation uses the subcenters only, which then, through the spleen center,
alter the major ones indirectly. My teacher in Tantra, the late Vivandatta, nearly a quarter of a
century ago in India, informed me that Westerners were better advised to approach the chakras
indirectly, that is through the subcenters, as a safe method of chakra balancing. He could psychically
see the centers in Westerners were more in tune to the indirect approach, due to a different
psychic anatomical makeup. He made the point that some races had differences in (he Erheric
Body structure and alignment with the physical.
