Paul tells us the body is a temple. "Do you not know,"
he asks, "that your body is a temple of the Holy
Spirit within you, which you have from God? So glorify
God in your body." (1 Cor. 6:19-20)
The purpose of liberating alchemy, and hence of
Harry Potter, is to bring back the Holy Spirit into
the temple of the body.
This human temple in our present state is very
degenerated and not at all in accordance yet with
Paul's statement. The preliminary process of alchemy
is the transmutation and purification of the body to
make it suitable for the Holy Spirit.
The human temple has seven beautiful flowers which
proclaim God's glory in the liberated human being.
They also perform essential work in the alchemist's
transmutation. These "flowers" are known as chakras
and are actually force-centres in the etheric and
astral bodies. They receive and distribute various
types of energy for the person's needs, from energy to
stay healthy to spiritual energy. They are connected
to the endocrine glands and various plexuses. They
look like convolvuli and are actually little
whirlpools of energy on the surface of the etheric
body. Their stem originates in the spinal cord.
In the ordinary earthly human being the chakras are
seven fetters that tie him down to the fallen universe
in which we live. They rotate extremely fast and suck
in energy from our "Nature of Death" as Jacob Boehme
calls it. Alchemy slows the chakras down and then
finally reverses their rotation so that they suck in
energy from the Divine Universe, the Sixth Cosmic
Plane. When all the chakras rotate in the opposite
direction to their previous one, liberation is
achieved. The Holy Spirit enters and death has been
vanquished.
It is apparent from their location on the spinal cord
and from their colours and various other references
that they are personified in Harry Potter by the
Weasley family. Sometimes their symbolism refers more
to the chakra itself, and sometimes more to the
endocrine gland connected with it.
The connections between the chakras, the endocrine
glands and the plexuses that Jo Rowling indicates are
not exactly the same as some people claim them to be.
I can't explain that.
It is obvious, to me at any rate, that the chakras and
their glands are in the right order of age, starting
with Ginny at the bottom of the spine, but with Bill
at the top instead of Arthur and Molly. The reason for
this will become apparent.
I will deal with each member of the Weasley family in
a separate post.
I will conclude this post with a chart that I think
clarifies the order of the chakras and the Weasleys.
plexus - gland - chakra - Weasley
(brain) - pineal - crown - Bill
carotid - pituitary - brow - Arthur & Molly
cervical - thyroid - throat - Charlie
cardiac - thymus - heart - Percy
lumbar - adrenals - navel - Fred & George
solar - pancreas - spleen - Ron
sacral - gonads - root - Ginny.
When I have finished discussing the individual members
of the Weasley Family I will predict what will happen
to them in the end. However I think the Chamber of Secrets is a
cameo of the whole process. This should provide a
clue.
"if I talk too freely about [if I believe in God] I think the intelligent reader, whether 10 or 60, will be able to guess what's coming in the books." JK Rowling
