As we climb up the spinal column we meet a character
for the second time. When first I came across this
idea I was flabbergasted. How is this possible? How
can a character personify two totally different
things, one abstract and one concrete?
Long ago in this character discussion I told you that
Ron is the John the Harbinger figure of the gospel,
the self-sacrificing earthly personality who says,
"After me comes one who is greater than I". Yet now
I'm saying Ron is the spleen chakra, connected to the
pancreas.
But upon reflection, I came across the following
facts:
Ron had a pet rat who personified the "blood-ego", or
"desire-ego", the survivor and panic merchant who will
go to any lengths to preserve the physical body. This
astral consciousness-centre is situated in the solar
plexus, in the spleen-liver system. See my post on Peter
Pettigrew, alias Scabbers.
Ron is very fond of food. The books often mention his
wonderful appetite and how he likes to stuff his mouth
with food. He especially likes sweet things. Remember
the conversation with Hermione about sugar quills? The
pancreas produces digestive juices, and an internal
secretion which digests sugar! And the stomach
actually rests on the pancreas.
His middle name is Bilius. Bilious means feeling sick
from an imbalance of bile, which is produced by the
liver.
This double function Ron has actually works! Ron
personifies the abstract earthly personality who
sacrifices himself for the new soul, as Ron shows in
the chess game in book 1, but he also personifies the
spleen chakra and the pancreas, as part of the Weasley
Family of chakras and endocrine glands.
The superhuman intelligence with which Harry Potter is
written is rising to ever greater heights in my
estimation. I feel totally overwhelmed by the sheer
dazzling perfect complexity of it all.
Ron: the mortal earthly personality which devotes
itself to the New Soul and will thus sacrifice itself
in the alchemical wedding for the King and Queen. Ron
will enter eternity by dissolving in the alchemical
processes and rising again as part of the Eternal Son
of God.
Ron: the high priest of the biological temple.
Ronald Bilius Weasley: the spleen chakra, the pancreas
and the solar plexus, with his pet, the biological
ego, situated in the spleen-liver system. As the
candidate goes the Path of Alchemical Liberation he
loses his biological ego, when Ron loses Scabbers.
You may be interested to know, by the way, that the
spleen chakra actually absorbs solar energy, which I
should think is the reason the plexus it's linked to
is called the solar plexus.
None of the chakras die during the process of
liberation, so we can feel safe that Jo won't kill Ron
off. However, in his role as John the Baptist, who was
beheaded, I feel sure Ron will make a tremendous act
of self-sacrifice for Harry and Hermione.
I'd also like to remind you, and especially tell new
members, about the "pricking of my thumbs" when I see
the trio's initials, whose order Jo never varies:
H.R.H.= His Royal Highness. And their "magical blood":
Harry - blood, Ron - full blood, Hermione no magical
blood. Together: 1 out of 3. The Half Blood Prince?
The mind boggles.
"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
