Percy is the most interesting Weasley to write about
because there is so much beauty I can tell you about
him.
If we continue our climb up the spinal column we now
come to the heart chakra. This is of a reddish-golden
colour. The gland associated with this chakra is the
thymus. This initiates the body's immune system during
childhood, and so we could compare it to a shield.
However the most important role Percy plays in
liberating alchemy is the formation of the Holy Grail
inside the human body. The heart-sanctuary of the
apprentice alchemist literally becomes a golden
chalice which can receive and store the Blood of
Christ.
To understand this we should look at the plexuses
which are situated here. Three plexuses are "inflamed"
with the new soul-force, the Divine Prana which
emanates from the new soul. These are the pharyngeal,
the pulmonary, and the cardiac plexuses. Harry, the
new soul, invades the whole body through the autonomic
nervous system and he renders his shining gold to all
parts of the body. Percy receives his share in the
aforementioned plexuses.
The pharyngeal plexus (at the pharynx) forms the rim,
the pulmonary (lung) plexus forms the chalice and its
base stands on the cardiac (heart) plexus. I hope it
is clear from this that every seeker has the Holy
Grail potentially present and all he has to do is
commence the quest for the Holy Grail. Making the Holy
Grail or finding it after a quest is a long, arduous
process of intense purification. The Blood of Christ
is the etheric substance of the Kingdom of God that is
extended to the seeker by the Brotherhood of Christ
once the seeker has finished making the Grail in his
heart-sanctuary. Should any selfish desire enter the
Grail it will crack and the seeker has to start again.
Percy is short for Percival or Parsifal, a knight on
the quest for the Holy Grail. We know from the legend
of Parsifal that while on his quest, he sees a Golden
City in the distance. He quickly hurries towards it,
but when he arrives, it has disappeared. It turns out
to be an illusion. Percy Weasley is also hurrying
towards a Golden City, is he not? Is the Ministry of
Magic not a golden city with its golden doors,
sculptures, etc? We can be sure that before the end of
book 7 Percy will have the same experience as
Parsifal. His Golden City will go up in smoke and he
will be left with a painful but very salutary
disillusionment.
Notice that Percy has turned his back on Harry in Book
5. He even tells Ron not to associate with Harry. This
symbolises the fact that when a seeker has worldly
ambitions he turns his back on the New Soul, and so he
won't find the Holy Grail.
We can be sure Percy will turn back to Harry in total
loyalty before the end, and he WILL find the Holy
Grail, without which Harry won't be able to achieve
liberation.
I should add in connection with Percy, and Charlie as
well, that the Knight of the Holy Grail has two
immortal faculties: the Pure Heart and the Word or
Speech. The Pure Heart forms the knight's Shield, and
the Word forms the Sword. With these two weapons the
knight is invincible and can enter liberation.
These two weapons are the heart chakra and the throat
chakra respectively. I will leave the throat chakra
for the post dealing with Charlie, but when the new
soul reaches the heart chakra and the seeker succeeds
in purifying his heart, he has a magic shield that
gives him immortality. Purification is achieved by the
seeker not allowing worldly emotions and desires to
enter his heart. This is not done by force of will,
but by self-surrender to the Lily in the heart. The
lily is a symbol not only for the immortal spark of
the spirit, but also for purity. If the seeker allows
his lily to spread its power through his heart and
does not deviate, he WILL purify his heart and thus
gain the shield of immortality. And when the heart is
purified, the seeker can earn the other immortal
faculty, the Sword, symbolised by Charlie.
We can be sure that all the Weasleys together will
help Harry enter the alchemical wedding. Percy will be
his shield and Charlie his sword. The sheer beauty of
it all is mind-blowing!
