The Earthy Powers
Lecture based Questions:
1. What are the Powers?
They are universal attributes that manifest in different ways on different planets, their original energetic properties remaining intact. They are neutral energies, meaning that they can be used for the upliftment of others, or they can become tainted with lower astral schmutz with destructive results. They influence both the wielder and those who come in contact with the wielder. All beings use and develop these energies. They each have their own dimensional qualities and intersect our seven-fold dimensions as well as many others.
2. Do the Powers have anything to do with the angelic choir called the Powers?
The human-sourced system that names the Powers as an angelic order or choir is neither entirely correct nor erroneous. There is an order called the Powers.
This is where the similarity ends. The Dionysian, Ignatian, and Chaldean systems claim that the Powers are similar to what we call “The Powers that Be.” They are described as performing tasks similar to the Angels of Destiny, which is actually a separate order. They are also made out to protect the planet from demons, which is indicative of a fear-based culture. There are angels who deal with demons, but they are not the Powers, and the interaction is in a redemptive teaching and guidance capacity, rather than in a warlike expression.
The angelic order that we know as the Powers has no traffic with humanity. The Powers work with the qualities of which we will speak, but they do not work as a career path with humanity. Instead, they monitor and maintain these streams of energies. For our planet, they transmute the energies into the qualities that are familiar to us in physical life, but they are anchored in the Astral and Mental worlds.
3. Why should the Powers be important to us?
They already are important to you. It is their nature to have weight in the lives of all living beings. We often consider them to be blessings or gifts. They are the bells and whistles of the physical life, but they have much deeper roots. If it is contagious or affects you, it is a Power.
All the powers are equally accessible to everyone. They are cultivated with focus, practice, study, and experience. Those who have mastered them spread their benefits to others.
4. Is there a list of the Powers?
Following is a list of some of the Powers and how they manifest. Included is the physical display, the Astral activity and the Mental condition.
• Adrenalin Energy: Physical—a hormone. Astral—crystals the size of a person’s body quickly form and then evaporate nearly as quickly. A continuous musical tone sounds similar to the A7 chord. Mental—rings and ripples resembling sound waves move outward from the mental body and summon what the mind is focused on.
• Attraction: Physical—a pheromone. Astral—the AB extends itself outward in a horizontal fan shape from the throat chakra, the colors being golden, rose, and robin’s egg blue. The energy then moves in a reciprocal motion outward and drawing receptive people in to the attractor. Mental—a construct resembling mirrors reflects the feelings of the receptive person. Nothing is more attractive to a person than someone who seems interested in them.
• Authority: Physical—a pheromone. Astral—the AB stretches to a tallness and breadth. Around the chest and shoulders to below the nose there is a mantle of robin’s egg blue and some other constructs that have royal meaning to the expresser, such as ermine or gold decorations. Mental—the MB expands to envelop the auras of those under authority.
• Beauty: Physical—a pheromone. Astral—the heart chakra is spouting a golden fountain, which lights up the face and bathes the upper body and then the rest of the body in a shimmering energy. Mental—a mantle that resembles tiny stars on a gossamer fabric cover the MB with a hood and long cloak. The mind bears a confidence in the continuance of form and influence.
• Cachet: Physical—a pheromone. Astral—a magnetic energy polarizes others to notice the projector. Mental—a conglomeration of many people’s thought forms lends an air of importance. The projector uses the energy of these thought forms to increase the magnetic polarity function of the AB.
• Credibility: Physical—a pheromone. Astral—a crown like the spiky thing on the Statue of Liberty is sported on the head. Sometimes there is a beak extension from the collar bone to the chin, resembling some face guards on medieval armor. Mental—the thoughts shooting outward like meteors are bright and clear.
• Freedom: Physical—a hormone cocktail that translates into choices and body signals. The breathing pattern is full and slow. The walking gait is long and relaxed. Astral—The egg of the aura develops slippery walls that taper from the head and are thickest around the middle. The color should be iridescent white. There is a lack of attachments. Mental—around the head region the energy flows in a relaxed helix pattern.
• Health: Physical—a combination of hormones and pheromones, resulting in a strong immune system, physical confidence, and good circulation. Healing of people in close quarters often occurs. Astral—many thought forms of physical strength, energy, and the willingness to support them through appropriate behaviors. Mental—archetypes of survival, physical power, and supportive behaviors are large in the aura.
• Intelligence: Physical—a metallic balance in the bloodstream and dynamic electrical patterns in the brain, resulting in quickness of assimilation, good deductive reasoning, retentive memory, and curiosity. People in contact feel stimulated, inspired, and more knowledgeable. Astral—much yellow energy active in the aura. The head region of the AB is churning with little lights. Mental—the MB is large, solid, and clear. Archetypes of goals and puzzles being solved are bountiful.
• Knowledge: Physical—chemical memory stores in the nervous system exist throughout the body and are based on experience, practice, and skill development. Astral—this is limited in the AB, but does exist to some extent as thought forms and habits. Mental—the information that we have acquired resides in the memory stores of the MB and in well-defined archetypes of function.
• Love: Physical—a cocktail of hormones and pheromones. Astral—the heart chakra is dilated and full of clear pinks, roses, gold, white, and robin’s egg blue. It generates a mist of dewy energy that surrounds people in the area. Mental—archetypes of the person’s self-image as a loving person are large in the aura. There are usually many flowery archetypes of affection for some people.
• Red Energy: Physical—a potent mixture of testosterone, adrenaline, and pheromones. Astral—the aura fills up with red energy, hopefully clear watermelon and ruby red. Mental—the mental body is not necessarily involved, but the red energy follows what the mind is thinking.
• Strength: Physical—a hormonal combo resulting in muscular power and high energy. Astral—from the chest downward, the AB is robust and thick. The virtues of courage, persistence, endurance, and integrity are strong thought forms. Red energy is prevalent. Mental—focus is good, and there is a noticeable lack of scattered energy.
• Truth: Physical—a hormone combo resulting in a general calmness and a firmness in the abdominal muscles. Astral—the throat, third eye, and crown chakras are well developed. White and gold are prevalent in the aura. Mental—the eye area appears to wear spectacles. The Spirit of Truth is a felt presence up and behind the expresser.
• Youthfulness: Physical—a combination of hormones resulting in high energy, enthusiasm, humor, and interest in new things. Astral—the AB maintains a childlike appearance. Mental—curiosity, interest in life, celebration of novelty, playfulness, and separation from authority are parts of the self-esteem and also archetypes floating around in the aura.
• Wealth: Physical—a pheromone. Astral—the base chakra is large and strong. The solar plexus chakra is open and active. The hand chakras are also large and active. Mental—archetypes of money, property, bling-bling, and the jollies that they bring are strong, solid, and active in the aura. The focus is set on command to acquire.
• Wit: Physical—a metallic and hormonal cocktail involving the brain and nervous system, resulting in a state of awareness, adaptability, appropriateness, perspicacity, and quick response. Astral—like porcupine needles, the AB extends psyllia-like points that receive information from 360º and even deeper sources. Mental—the MB is large, clear, and quick moving.
5. This list seems to be the things that are temporary and not part of the real self.
That is correct. These can be removed from your life at any time and are karmically present in your life depending on your ability to accept them and appreciate them. They are not be attached to as part of the identity. They are to be appreciated for the blessings that they are and to be used with responsibility, respect, and appreciation.
6. How can I develop the Powers in my life?
First of all, the warning about motive and responsibility. It is good to have these things in your life. To be happy, you must be free from ambition, greed, or revenge. These things cannot make you happy in themselves, but their correct use can help.
Investigate, affirm, and practice to develop the Powers. Study people who have them, watch their Astral Bodies and their Mental Bodies. Copy what they are doing right and abandon what they are doing wrong. Study the downward or upward flow of their energies and find out what makes things move the right way. Say affirmations for your success in these areas. Then remember that behavior is one of the most powerful affirmations of all, and that your life choices of action are very important.
7. Draw or describe one of your helpers. You may use a symbol or describe a fragrance, color, shape, or name to help ground the knowledge of your helper.
