According to Liberating Alchemy the body is a ruined temple which has to be
restored to divine glory. A number of organs play a vital role in this. The
autonomic nervous system is very much involved, as well as the endocrine
glands. In addition there are seven etheric and astral organs which are
connected intimately with the nervous system and the glands. These are the
chakras. They rotate very rapidly in a clockwise manner and their function
is to suck in energy.
The teachings of transfiguration tell us that the new soul-force gradually
descends along the right string of the sympathetic nerve. As it does so it
begins to close off the autonomic nervous system to the influences of the
fallen universe. At the same time the chakras slow down their rotation,
decreasing the energy intake from this universe. At a certain moment they
stop turning altogether. When the new soul-force reaches the end of the
sympathetic string it enters the sacral plexus and fights the serpent of the
kundalini, symbolised by Harry fighting the basilisk. It then ascends along
the left string and the chakras start turning in an anticlockwise direction.
They are now absorbing energy from the divine universe, for ever setting the
alchemist free from death, decline and disease.
These chakras and glands are personified by the Weasleys. In Part 2 we learn
that Ginny is taken down underneath the castle and held captive by Tom
Riddle, a memory of Voldemort. Riddle symbolises the subconscious mind.
Harry comes down to rescue Ginny. After defeating the basilisk he kills
Tom Riddle and Ginny wakes up. Ginny has red hair and six siblings. Ginny is
the root chakra, connected to the sacral plexus. This chakra is bright red
and has six companions.
Ronald Bilius symbolises the spleen chakra. He plays a double role, because
we have already met him as the earthly personality, whose headquarters are
in the spleen-liver system. This all ties in neatly with Ron as former owner
of Scabbers, who personifies the blood-ego situated in the spleen-liver
system.
The twins Fred and George are obviously the adrenal glands, situated on top
of the kidneys. They like to joke about toilet seats, a reference to their
position in the body. Their chakra is the navel chakra, consisting of ten
petals, alternately red and green.
Percy is the heart chakra. The name Percy is short for Percival, known in
the Grail legends as Parsifal. This knight in quest of the Holy Grail sees a
golden city in the distance. When he approaches it, it disappears. Percy,
too, is chasing after a golden city, the Ministry of Magic. He too will find
his ambitions going up in smoke. But eventually Percy will turn back to
Harry and assist him at the end.
Charlie and Bill symbolises the throat and the crown chakras respectively.
Arthur and Molly symbolise the pituitary gland and the brow chakra. This
gland has two lobes, one of which rules the heart and the other the head.
The chakra is divided into two colours: red and indigo. Arthur is red
headed, the obvious reference to the red half of the chakra.
Another person to watch very carefully is Neville Longbottom. He personifies
the medulla oblongata, which regulates the heart-beat and breathing. It is
in fact the gate-keeper to the alchemists body and is responsible for
admitting the divine forces which seek to enter the body and transfigure it
from a degenerated tent to a perfect, divine temple in which the Holy Spirit
can dwell.
God knocks on the gate of the medulla three times; the first time he turns
the person into a seeker, the second time he causes the birth of the new
soul and the third time he comes as the Holy Spirit. When the gate keeper
opens the door, the Holy Spirit enters like a bolt of lightning, shooting
down to the sacral plexus along the right string of the sympathetic nerve,
then up along the left string. The Spirit then enters the pineal gland,
where the Alchemical Wedding of Spirit, Soul and Personality takes place.
>From this we can be sure that Neville will have an absolutely vital role in
the climax of the book. Without him the alchemical wedding cannot take
place.
The physical body, seen as a whole, is personified by Narcissa Malfoy. Her
name refers to the Greek legend of Narcissus, the young man who fell in love
with his own body. Narcissas husband is Lucius, the physical brain with its
consciousness. This consciousness has a feeling of superiority, a delusion
of being god-like. The brain is linked to the microcosmic self through
numerous magnetic lines of force, which is why Lucius is a Death Eater.
Their son is Draco, who looks very much like his father. His name gives the
most telling clue to what he personifies: the spinal cord with its mortal
soul-force known as the serpent-fire. His animosity towards Harry is easily
explained. Harry is the new serpent-fire destined to replace the old one. At
the end Draco will have to make way for Harry.
The spinal cord is surrounded on each side by a string of the sympathetic
nervous system. These are personified by Dracos two cronies, Crabbe &
Goyle. Before the end of the story they will go over to Harrys side, as the
new serpent-fire uses the two sympathetic strings to achieve the new
consciousness.
The process of transfiguration is summed up by the Rosicrucians as 7
self-initiations. These are named after the closest seven planets to the
earth, and are named after Roman Gods. The first five are described
accurately in Harry Potter:
Mercury (the new mind): Harrys friendship with Hermione (female form of
Hermes);
Venus (Divine Love): the Room of Love (The sepulchre of Venus in The
Alchemical wedding);
Mars (the new will): Harrys victory over Voldemort in the duel;
Jupiter (leadership): Harrys leadership in Dumbledores Army;
Saturn (death): the Gate of Saturn, the arch with the veil.
In view of the close parallel between Harry Potter and the Teachings of
Liberation it should be easy to predict the main things that happen in the
next two books.
The next two levels in the Tower of Olympus are
6. The plane of the emotional ego
7. The plane of the consciousness ego.
The emotional ego is situated in the inner sanctuary of the heart, near the
Room of Love, symbolised in The Alchemical Wedding by the sepulchre of
Venus. Harry will no doubt enter this room and, like CRC, will be punished
by becoming a gatekeeper (and yet coming home). This makes him a Master of
Compassion. Harrys heart will be liberated and filled with Love forever.
On the plane of the consciousness ego, Harry will pass through the Gate of
Saturn not to die the ordinary death of us, shackled to the wheel of
reincarnation, but the death of total self-sacrifice, resulting in the
resurrection of the Son of God in an imperishable and indestructible body of
glorious majesty.
To understand how Harry will defeat Voldemort and liberate himself from his
finite consciousness we have to understand the Divine Law of absolute
non-violence. Harry will not kill Voldemort. The divine soul cannot fight.
It always withdraws from conflict and radiates love to take its place. Evil
always destroys itself in the presence of love, and that is what Voldemort
will do. And Harry will liberate his consciousness ego, thus entering the
universal, omniscient, multidimensional consciousness. He will come Home,
but his compassion for humanity will make him work for its redemption until
the last fallen soul has returned to the Fathers arms.
The story of Harry Potter is so powerful that it has the potential radically
to change the future of humanity. There is a great likelihood that a new
religion will form as a result of the power that emanates from the work. The
founder of the Anthroposophical movement, Rudolf Steiner, said that from the
beginning of this millennium all religions will become reconciled in the
mystery of Rosicrucianism. Harry Potter is the new Christian Rosycross.
"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
