7th body, crown chakra nirvana
6th body, Third eye chakra, Crystalization of being, can channel energy to the mind, or out through the third eye in a direction, or up through the crown.
5th body, Throat Chakra, moving center, responsible for shifts in energy
4th body, The heart chakra, The Astral body
3rd body, Naval, Seed of the light body. The center.
2nd body, etheric body, responsible for 80% of Illness, and affects the sexual organs
1st body, physical body, rectum, base of the spine, composed of condensed light energy
I propose this as a model, to help understand Atisha's 7 points of mind training.
First, learn the preliminaries.
The first: The Preliminaries
Truth is
The physical body is there, a baby did not ask to be born, it was born. There was no question or choice in the matter.
Think that all phenomena are like dreams.
The second: Think that all phenomena are like dreams.
Mind is the barrier. The etheric body, is the body which causes illness. This is the body which develops habitual eating, or develops sexual impotence.
This is also the body which is responsible for sexual excitement. There needs to be a "being" in order to appropriate when the moment is right for intercourse. The etheric body is the connection of being to the physical body.
All phenomenon are only passing, it is a device to learn to let go of one's passions, so compassion can simply flow naturally.
Examine the nature of unborn awareness.
The third: Examine the nature of unborne awareness. A seed.
No-mind is the door In the same way you had no choice in the fruition of the first three bodies. Giving up choice, and living in the moment, actively responding to that which arises in the moment, is the door to the fourth body. It is precisely the instincts developed choicelessly by animals that allow their existence.
In the same way, it is the internal instincts which allow ones energies to rise from the root, to the flower and even through the very fragrance which radiates off of the flower. There is no need for a flower to think about growing, one simply brings the nutrients through it's being to be absorbed.
The naval is essentially the seed of the heart chakra, the astral body, and energy can ascend if it is not wasted in thoughts or in sexuality. I am not saying strive for abstainance, I am simply saying if you do have sex, observe your energies. If you do not have sex, observe your energies. Meditate. Meditation is not the ascension of your energies, meditation is looking inward, so one can prepare the way for ascenion.
Let even the remedy itself go free on its own.
The fourth point:
Let even the remedy itself go free on its own After a time of meditation, one will begin to see very clearly that the heart responds to externalities all on its own. This includes your entire existence. The entire existence has a heart, and the first step toward knowing the central heart of all existence, is trusting in the existence.
One need not constantly remind himself to observe the beauty of the universe. And one need not constantly remind himself to transform his energies. To do it spontaneously is the only way to turn your being in a meditator, and not just dabble in practicing meditation.
This is why i love the spirit molecule, because people dabbling in the spirit molecule may come to spontaneous meditation, while those who practice meditation very likely would be afraid to ingest the spirit molecule for fear of offsetting their state of mind or whatever.
The astral body is the phsyical bodies connection to the eternal heart.
It is very difficult to reflect upon anything in the clutches of a deep psychadelic or deep *completely sober* trance. One sort of forgets about the body, but between sessions of either DMT or meditation, ones astral body is where the deep understanding of eternal love can be stored. This is the rising compassion which I have mentioned above.
And so there are two types of people to consider.
Those who have not yet evolved out of passion into compassion. They need to empty all that has collected . They need to start with emptiness, and this may manifest as feelings of detatchment and honestly even the idea of suicide may come up during the contemplation of emptiness. Many people find that emptiness is something that haunts them, and this is the beginning of true religion. Dissatisfaction with personal passion, and soon it becomes a much more potent form of energy. Compassion.
Emptiness arises, And soon compassion arises.
The other type of person is one who starts his journey through compassion. Some people simply realize that there is something which unites us all, and so they begin from the arising compassion.
The function of showering compassion within ones' self is to empty the heart so it can be filled with pure love.
Here in the fourth body, compassion arises. If it were not compassion, it would have been love energy directed through sexuality or through the many expressions of that passion.
That which compells you to do good is your fourth body. This is a product of conscious evolution. The fourth body is important in cleansing the etheric second body, and thus important in guiding the first body to effectualize positive behaviors into the world.
Settle in the nature of basic cognition, the essence.
The fifth:
Settle in the nature of basic cognition, the essence. The fifth body is flowing, pointless. It exists between the third eye and the heart chakra.
Between wisdom and basic feeling, is the being.
When compassion arises, this is your cup, full of the essence of the universe, full of being.
And when you settle, there is pure awareness, with no effort, with no method. If awareness needs a method it is still not true awareness, not the essential awareness, not the natural spontaneous awareneed. It is still a byproduct of method; it is cultivate, created. It is a byproduct of the mind, it is not yet truth.
Now there is nothing to do. See, be, enjoy: only this moment exists. This now, this here, this cawing of the crows. And all is silence. To know this serenity is to know who you are, what this existence is all about.
One moment all is fragrance, and the next moment you are searching for it and you cannot find it, where it has gone.
Between sessions, consider phenomena as phantoms.
The sixth: The Third Eye Chakra, The Wisdom Eye
Between sessions, consider phenomena as phantoms.
Atisha is refferring to meditation sessions. But we can refer to DMT sessions too :]
Forget all about the "Holy Trinity" for the sesson. Forget all about the three aspects of godliness. Forget all about the method and the chakras during the session. Just be.
When you have come to the point where there is a crystalization, a completele flowering of your essence. Life will be a perpetual trinity of emptiness, rising compassion, and showering love. The model of the chakras is simply to guide onself through the alchemical process of transforming raw sexual energy.
While the holy trinity merely describes the mechanism through which energy flows.
So these are just models and not propositions of truth, there is simply no way to describe being.
Between sessions of DMT usage, allow your Wisdom eye to tell you that ALL phenomenon are phantoms, the byproduct of a positive DMT trip is much more important than the types of entities the supreme intelligence had to manifest in order to bring you into the realm of compassion.
The introduction to your higher being is far more important than the actors involved.
The entities dont exists as shapes and reckognizable things. But to propagate the evolution of light throughout the universe, the supreme love
WILL cause you to see apparitions of shockingly real rendition.
However between sessions of DMT can be sessions of meditation, a perfect opporunity to drop once again all methods, and all convictions and all knowledge.
One day you may find yourself meditating, and where has your body gone!? Suddenly there is no cognition of gravity, or surroundings, or context. There is no method here! This experience is completely convincing.
Between
these sessions, it is wise to consider the sober experience of the expansive infinite and altogether absurd universe to pass as it may and come as it may, much like a dream.
Train in joining, sending and taking together.
Do this by riding the breath.
Three objects, three poisons, three bases of virtue.
Train with phrases in every mode of behavior.
The seventh point: The crown, the the portal for the radiance of your essence. The flower which radiates and inhales the sweet pollen of existence.
Nirvana is the realm of
being the fragrance which
every flower shares.
Train in joining, sending and taking together.
Do this by riding the breath.
Breath both literal oxygen, and the light of compassion.
Inhale the miseries of all the people in the world, and let it be absorbed in your heart.
And when you breath out, breathe out all the joy that you have, all the blissfullness that you have, all the benediction that you have, Breathe out, pour yourself into existence. This is the method of compassion: drink in all the suffering and pour out all the blessings.

Good day to you
