The Power of Revitalizing the Vital Body

When we speak of the human constitution, much attention is given to the physical body and to the astral body. Yet there is a third body, often overlooked, that serves as the bridge between the two: the etheric, or vital, body. This body of life-force sustains, recharges, and keeps the physical and spiritual aspects of our being interconnected. To neglect it is to weaken the very battery that keeps both the flesh and the soul energized.

The etheric body can be revitalized through both physical and spiritual means. One simple practice is to focus on the space between your hands. With a healthy charge of electromagnetic vitality, you will begin to feel a subtle current or field. This sensation is etheric energy itself. It is this energy that animates the nervous system, enlivens the cells, and provides the spark of vitality.

Sleep is another natural way the etheric body recharges. When the astral body departs during sleep, the etheric body is freed to draw in fresh energy. Grounding practices such as walking barefoot on soil, placing the feet in a stream, or simply touching the earth also restore etheric vitality. Water conducts electricity, and the living earth transmits currents of life into the nervous system, reducing inflammation and restoring balance.

Deep relaxation is equally important. When we release tension from head to toe and turn our energies inward, the currents normally spent on digestion or sensory activity are redirected to the etheric body. This recharge occurs when stillness is embraced and outward expenditure is temporarily stilled.

The sun is another source of renewal. At sunrise and sunset, when the rays are gentle, one may safely absorb the “angles of light,” the angels of life. Even with closed eyes, the photons stimulate the pineal gland, which is designed to respond to light. This gland, the inner eye, is nourished by these rays and awakens to higher perception.

Movement also charges the etheric body. Loose, flowing motion, walking in rhythm, and conscious breathing all keep the currents alive. The physical body is a laboratory, a factory-machine producing this subtle energy. Just as a battery must be recharged, so too must we take time to replenish the vital body.

Among the most effective methods is rhythmic breathing. Conscious, measured breath bridges the conscious and subconscious mind, strengthens willpower, and magnifies the flow of vitality. By inhaling, holding, exhaling, and pausing in rhythm, known as “box breathing,” the practitioner draws in not only air, but prana, the life-force itself. Conscious attention makes the process far more potent: when one imagines each breath as revitalization, the energy body responds accordingly.

Through these practices, the nervous system is charged with higher voltage, allowing deeper trance, extended meditation, and clearer vision in the astral and spiritual realms. Breath and intention transform the body into a living vessel of light.

By consciously cultivating the etheric body, we maintain the inner battery that sustains all higher work. Feel the energy between your hands, practice rhythmic breathing, walk upon the earth, and greet the sun in reverence. In so doing, the vessel is strengthened, the current flows, and the inner mysteries of life are unveiled.

Mysteries of the Legend of Zelda Continued

Now, let us speak of the legendary Master Sword.

In the mythos of Ocarina of Time, the Master Sword is not just a blade—it is a divine weapon, a tool of light forged for the chosen hero. But for the awakened initiate, the Master Sword is something much greater. It is the sacred willpower of the soul, spiritually tempered through inner alchemy. The blade is the sharpened consciousness that has passed through fire, forged in trials, and purified through inner death. It represents the inner resolve that cuts through the illusion of duality.

To wield the Master Sword in real life is to take up the sacred art of sexual transmutation.

Sexual energy is the root fire, the base element of all creative potential. Every true mystery school has pointed to this power—not in repression, nor indulgence, but in mastery. When the root energy is raised through the spinal canal by pure will and sacred intent, it transmutes into the fuel that animates the higher chakras. This is the process of turning lead into gold. The sword is drawn from the stone (the base matter), and it becomes an instrument of light.

In Ocarina of Time, Link cannot wield the Master Sword as a child. He must undergo a transformation, entering the Temple of Time to sleep for seven years, awakening as the matured hero capable of bearing it. This is symbolic of the inner maturation required of the initiate. We must spiritually die to the lower appetites, enter the inner temple of time—symbolizing patience, spiritual gestation, and commitment—and only then are we worthy to lift the blade of divine will.

The pedestal the Master Sword rests in is the spine. The blade itself is the awakened kundalini energy that, once risen, gives the initiate mastery over the inner enemies. Ganondorf is not some villain from without—he is the inner tyrant. The lower ego, the unintegrated shadow. He seizes the power of the lower Triforce—raw force without the balance of wisdom and courage. He wants to control Hyrule, which is the kingdom of your soul. To defeat him, one must wield the sword of sacred power, grounded in truth and raised in righteousness.

The Temple of Time is the sacred chamber within, where the divine spark speaks to the soul. The ocarina—the instrument of wind, spirit, and breath—activates the gateways of time. Breath, prana, and sound: these are the keys that shift awareness, moving the initiate beyond linear time into the sacred eternal.

Each dungeon Link enters is a trial of the soul. He descends into the darkness, confronts monsters (which are personifications of inner distortions), and retrieves tools, keys, and spiritual gifts. He does not conquer with brute force alone—but with cleverness, purity, and persistence. Every boss slain is a fear transmuted, every heart container gained is an expansion of the soul’s capacity for love and strength.

The sages—each found after completing a temple—represent archetypal guides or perfected aspects of the soul. When they awaken, they stand with you, sending power to the final battle. These are like spiritual faculties being awakened one by one—courage, compassion, clarity, strength, serenity, wisdom, and illumination.

Zelda, as we have established, is the Divine Wisdom. She hides in plain sight as Sheik—the divine mother appearing as an androgynous shepherd. She protects, guides, and ultimately sacrifices herself for the balance to be restored. In the end, Link and Zelda must work together: the awakened masculine and divine feminine in union. The sword (will) and the wisdom (intuition) restore balance.

And when the hero wins—he does not boast. He returns the Master Sword to its place, and time resets. Because the true initiate does not seek power for dominion, but transformation for liberation. He finishes the work and leaves no trace. He returns to the forest, the place of beginnings, now with new eyes.

The forest is the root of all mystery. And the boy who began without a fairy has become the Hero of Time.

The Gospel According to the Hero of Time

Book I: The Awakening of the Forest

In the days when the light was dim and the land was silent, there came a child, hidden among the trees. He was not born of the Kokiri, nor numbered among them, yet he dwelt among them like a shadow in the shade of the Great Tree. And the child had no fairy, no winged guide to whisper the Way. But the time of silence was ending.

And lo, the Great Tree who watched the ages turn, whose roots knew the secrets of the earth, did call for the child. For the spirit of the land was stirred, and the darkness began to coil in the distance.

Then was sent unto the boy a spirit Navi, of the wind and of light. And the Tree spake, “The curse of the shadow is upon me, and my leaves no longer sing the song of life. But within me lies a trial, and a stone of the spirit. Take thy courage, child of no fairy, and become who you are destined to be.”

And the boy entered the Tree, and the Tree became the temple. And there he met the first beast of the abyss, born of twisted energy. And with sword and shield, he did conquer. But the Tree, having fulfilled its role, did return to the silence, its bark cracking like the bones of the old world.

And the boy left the forest, the only home he ever knew, and the trees bowed behind him.

✦ Kabbalistic Footnotes:

The Child Without a Fairy – This represents Da’at, the hidden sefirah: a place of divine knowledge unawakened. Without a fairy (divine guide), the initiate is incomplete until he receives his inner spark. Navi represents Ruach haKodesh, the holy intuitive spirit.
The Great Deku Tree – Symbolic of Binah, the Mother Sephira, who both nurtures and initiates suffering for growth. The dying Tree is the fall from Eden and the loss of divine protection—setting the stage for spiritual individuation.
The Three Spiritual Stones – These correlate to the three pillars of the Tree of Life: Severity (Din), Mercy (Chesed), and Balance (Tiferet). Link must balance all three to awaken his true Self.
The First Demon Within the Tree – This is the initiate’s first encounter with his Yesodic Shadow, the beast that guards the gateway from the unconscious to awakened selfhood.
Leaving the Forest – Exile from the Forest represents the expulsion from the Garden, necessary for growth. The forest is Malkuth, and to grow, the soul must ascend the ladder.

Book II: The Song of Time

And the boy came into the land of Hyrule, a realm of three parts and three powers. And he beheld the castle, and the city, and the river that ran between dreams and stone. And there he met her, the Princess of Vision, whose heart knew the coming of the storm.

And she spake unto him in the temple of garden walls, saying:
“There is a king who is no king. He comes with honey on his tongue and death in his hands. I have seen it in dream and sign.”
And she entrusted unto him the sacred song, the melody of gates, the key to the Temple of Time.

And he took up the Ocarina, the voice of the heavens. And in secret places he played the songs that turned wind and water, sun and stone.

But the shadow moved quicker than the song.

The boy entered the Temple and drew forth the blade that sleeps in light—the Master Sword, which judges the hearts of men.

And time shattered.

✦ Kabbalistic Footnotes:

Hyrule of Three Parts – These represent Netzach (Victory), Hod (Glory), and Yesod (Foundation)—the astral forces of the Tree of Life which shape the soul’s dream world and psychic reality.
Zelda, the Princess of Vision – She is Chokmah, Divine Wisdom personified, also Shekinah, the indwelling light, imprisoned by matter yet pointing to redemption.
Ganondorf – The Adversary. He is Samael, the false light bearer. He wields the force of Gevurah without balance, shadow without structure.
The Ocarina of Time – The Ocarina is the Merkavah, the chariot of the spirit. It is the voice of the inner soul, playing the songs of the Sephiroth to change dimensions of reality.
The Master Sword – Symbolic of Tiferet, the sefirah of the heart and the Christic center. To draw it is to align one’s soul with the divine will and become the spiritual warrior.
Time Shattered – The breaking of linear time is the shattering of the Qliphoth, the shells of ego illusion, and the soul begins the alchemical ascent.

The Alchemical Lab of the Body

The body is made in a way that if utilized correctly it will naturally ward of illness and mental issues such as the dappening drag feeling we all have. Essentially the human body is a perfect combination of the elements. It is pillar of salt endowed with spirit fire. When the spirit fire is weakened through rapid exhaustion of the energy force, then the physical body becomes weakened, first mentally then physically. If we learn to retain the outgoing impulse and shut down the five sense periodically through mediation we can recharge the body. The body is a battery. Notice that we are electromagnetic beings but we are all wearing rubber shoes. We know that rubber does not conduct electricity therefore we are walking around without being grounded. Here we have three imbalances,

1. We are always seeking and following the outgoing current of the senses. The energy seeks to leave through the 5 senses hence when we watch an emotional movie we may feel tired, or of we are paying attention to a lecture we may become tired, or after physical exertion we become tired. The energy seeks an exit.

2. We are not grounded we are always whare insulated shoes removing our connection to the negative polarity hence causing inflammation within the body.

3. We are not centered in our being. Instead we are identified with our mind and bodies. If we find our center we can identify with the aspect of our self that is unmanifested. By correcting these three aspects we can keep the fire burning within us and the body will naturally become a beacon of health.

Questions One Should Ask One’s Self

1.Have I become athiestic in nature? If so why?

2.Do I meditate on the Supreme being with form or without form?

3. Is the prime creator personal or impersonal or above both?

4. Do I want to taste the fruit or be the fruit?

5. If there is an absolute truth, do I live up to its existemce and relevence in my day to day activities?

6. What existence is possible without the body and mind? Have I personally experienced life and existence beyomd the physical and mental spheres if only for a glimpse?

7. Am I able to wake up consciously while dreaming and have full cognizance in that realm?

8. Does God take personal interest in people and there lifes and aspirations?

9.What lessons can be learned from witnessing the cycle of life in the animal kingdom and the brutal nature of eating other entities to continue life?

10. Am I perfect in all ways or are there imperfections and evil inlcinations laying deep within my own heart?

These are the questions that are important to ask in this age of forgetfulness.

Initiation: Realizing You are Not the Body

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj quote: You are not the body. You are the immensity and...

The main goal of initiation is to come to the knowledge that you are not the body. This is realized in in the trial and lessons as well as experiences throughout our life. If we are consciously working with ourselves we can ascend the ladder of initiation more quickly and come to the illumination of the beings within the body.

In ancient times the initiation rituals consisted of inducing a near death experience to the initiate and the bringing them back to life through various means. This is how they were able to gain the knowledge that the I AM, the individuality continues when the body dies.

When we are unconscious or ourselves we live our lives as if we were the body in and of itself. We may feel that we are automatic, we do not have much control of our thinking patterns and reactions. In the beginning the consciousness is very much asleep to its divine origins. At around age four the ego starts manifesting and completely making its home in the human body. We begin crystalizing our ego in our adolescence and from there on up it is up to us to come to the realization that we are in a body not the body it self.

I remember when I was seventeen years old I woke up in the night and became very frightened with the feeling that I was not my body but something or someone trapped inside of a body. This realization was terrifying as if before I identified solely with the body but by feeling my self and coming to realization of I Am Consciousness separate from the body and mind a feeling of entrapment took place. From this point on I came to more experiential knowledge of being separate from the body.

The first stage of initiation is simply hearing and intellectual understanding that we are souls inside of a body. After a while of mediation and dedicated austerities, we begin to get a more distant feel of the spot where the I am appears and the body itself. We begin to feel that the body is enveloped within ourselves, that the body is actual inside of the Soul.

Practice sitting with the sense of I Am, take no thought and simply feel the feeling of being itself. Try to come to the feeling that you re not the mind that the mind is a computer that’s the true self or soul is connected to and once departs is no longer bound by the mind itself.

This world is produced by the Minds, we are not the Minds but the beings with minds. The mind is the machine the soul uses to express itself in a limited way. Once we begin to Identify with who we are which is the being we will see the body as a vehicle. Life will no longer be the same, you will be merged with the inner witness which is always safe.

The soul cannot be harmed in this creation or even by Almighty God. Therefore, Ch 2 of Gita says the Soul cannot be cut or wet or dried or burnt by elements. The Soul is part of eternal Truth it has its nature.It is the mind and body (gross or subtle) that is of elements and haste elemental nature and affected by them. Once we come to this knowledge of self we will no longer have fear, even when the body is in severe pain we will be safe within our being and know that the conscious continues eternally. You will come to a sense of looking in from somewhere else rather than being trapped in the body.

Mysteries of Santa Clause

The Great Arcanum is simple as the blooming of a flower. In the same way, a flower goes through stages of growth and finally blossoms, so in the same way, a similar process takes place within our bodies. The story of Santa Claus is symbolic of a hormonal chemical process that takes place in the body.

George W Carey States, in the book title God Man word, Made Flesh, “There is an automatic procedure within the human body, which, if not interfered with, will do away with sickness, trouble, sorrow, and death, as stated in the Bible.” IN the bible it is referred to as the Oil of Gladness.

Now that we are in the age of Aquarius this information has already been given freely to the public. George W Carey, Manly P Hall, Samael Aun Weor, Swami Vivekananda, and present-day teachers that point to the way such as Santos Bonacci, Bill Donahue, and many others pointed toward this internal process. In a previous article, we explained how humanity has to develop the 12 archetypes within, and activate the inner zodiac. The 12 cranial nerves correspond to each of the 12 Zodiac. The 12 apostles are inherent qualities of the soul. This way the number 12 is so important and inherent in all of these epochs.

I. Olfactory nerve. The olfactory nerve transmits information to the brain regarding the sense of smell.
II. Optic nerve. …
III. Oculomotor nerve. …
IV. Trochlear nerve. …
V. Trigeminal nerve. …
VI. Abducens nerve. …
VII. Facial nerve.

Swami Vivekananda stated that when a man retains his semen for 12 years that he develops a nerve called the nerve of memory, which when attained, the man can remember whatever he sees and hears.

The key to activating the inner alchemical processes of our bodies the ancients from many traditions have all pointed to masterful control of the sexual energy. When the Sexual energy is restrained the nervous system is charged with energy, similar to a battery. Chastity does not mean abstinence, if you are married then you can still have coitus without losing chasity simply by retaining the fluids. The sexual that are produced by the claustrum is connected to the spinal fluid and the spinal fluid is related to the sex hormones and fluids on an energetic level.

The gland in the brain resembles characteristics from the story of Santa Claus. As we are told Santa Claus lives in the North pole where there is snow, he is accompanied by rain deer, a sled, and elves that help him in his endeavors. These are all physical glands and chemical processes that take place in the brain entities in the brain.

Life is essentially mystical and full of mysteries, one of them being the human body. The stories we write reflect the inner workings of nature. Similar to the menstrual cycle a similar cycle happens 12 times a year where the claustrum produces a substance that flows down the spinal canal. The claustrum signals the pineal gland to produce the secretion of the hormone melatonin, which is released into the blood and the brain fluid, known as cerebrospinal fluid.

Studies have shown that melatonin is related to and affects the regulation of the reproductive system systems such as puberty, gonadal function, and conception.

These are the gifts that Santa brings us down the chimney. We have to raise these fluids back up to the brain by living by the natural laws that govern our bodies. Man is equipped with a spiritual thermometer within that either rises or falls depending on the thoughts, emotions, and actions of the individual. Man and Woman are the Microcosms of the Macrocosm, we are made in God’s image and therefore we have the universe inside us. Just like a flower goes through certain processes and changes of maturation so we have a process within that if not interfered with, we can become what we are destined to become. The fluids when transmuted energize the brain and replenish it, reviving dead brain cells and activating talent and inherent gifts. These stories are symbolic of this inner process.

The Claustrum or Santa Clause produces a fluid that is differentiated and deposited in the pineal gland and pituitary gland. These are alchemical laboratories Pineal produces s a yellow substance and the pituitary a white substance.

The story of Santa Claus is an essential a story referring to the raising of the kundalini in the body and activating the inner talents and gifts. If the fluid is wasted and we destroy it by over drinking, overeating, and being ill-willed or bad-tempered we create havoc in our bodies and disrupt the process hence be a good boy or you will get a lump of coal. When we retain our fluids and raise them back into the brain we are activating the 13th cranial nerve which would give us access to the superior dimensions of life.
