शरीर का मौलिक तत्त्व
प्रकृति का तत्व (साधारणतया ये भौतिक स्तर अदृश्य हालत में रहते हुए कार्य करते हैं, इसलिए अक्सर इन पर ध्यान नहीं जाता) जो जीवात्मा की उसके पदार्थ रूप में पर प्रथम बार जन्म लेने के समय से भौतिक शरीर की सेवा में लगा रहता है।
इसकी ऊंचाई लगभग तीन फुट की होती है तथा रूप उस व्यक्ति से मिलता-जुलता है जिसकी यह सेवा करता है। यह व्यक्ति के अभिभावक देवदूत के साथ आत्मा के तहत, मनुष्य का अदृश्य मित्र एवं सहायक है।
मनुष्य का यह निष्ठावान सहायक अनेकानेक अवतारों में उसका स्थायी सहयोगी रहता है।
शिशु के जन्म में शारीरिक तत्व की भूमिका
आत्मा एवं मनुष्य में उपस्थित ईश्वर के अंश के निर्देशन पर कार्य करता हुआ, शरीर का मौलिक तत्व इलेक्ट्रॉनिक पैटर्न और जीवनधारा की सूक्ष्म रूपरेखा को भौतिक रूप में अभिव्यक्ति करता है।कर्म के स्वामी द्वारा पुनर्जन्म की घोषणा के समय से लेकर गर्भधारण तक, आनेवाली जीवात्मा के शरीर का मौलिक तत्व, पिता एवं माता के मौलिक शारीरिक तत्वों के साथ मिलकर त्रिमूर्ति का निर्माण करता है। ईश्वर की आज्ञानुसार किया गया यह कार्य माता के गर्भ में पल रहे जीव के प्रत्येक अणु में ब्रह्मा, विष्णु एवं शिव की ऊर्जा का संचार करता है। अगर पिताजी पास नहीं होते तो उनकी आत्मा बच्चे के विकास में सहायता के लिए प्रकाश किरणों को मां की ओर भेजती है।</ref>
शिशु के जन्म (जिस क्षण शिशु की गर्भनाल काटी जाती है तथा महाचौहान उसकी त्रिदेव ज्योत को जलाते है) से लेकर उसकी मृत्यु तक (जिस क्षण त्रिदेव ज्योत बुझ जाती जाती है), मौलिक शारीरक तत्व भौतिक स्तर पर हर पल जीवात्मा के सेवा में लीन रहता है। इस पूरे समय के दौरान देवदूत जीव की मानसिक और भावनात्मक ज़रूरतों को पूरा करते है।
शरीर के मौलिक तत्व का कार्य
शरीर का मौलिक तत्व सदा व्यक्ति की मनोदशा और स्वभाव का अनुकरण करता है। मनुष्य जो कहेगा उसका मौलिक तत्त्व उसी की नक़ल करेगा - मैं स्वस्थ हूँ, मैं बीमार हूँ , मैं अच्छा महसूस कर रहा हूँ या फिर मैं बुरा महसूस कर रहा हूँ - यूँ समझिये की मौलिक शारीरिक तत्व एक जिन्न है जो व्यक्ति की आज्ञा का पालन करता है, वह मनुष्य के कर्म के अलावा कुछ नहीं कर सकता।
बच्चों को अक्सर शरीर का मौलिक तत्त्व दिखाई देता है और वे उस से खेलते-बतियाते हैं, परन्तु व्यस्क लोग अक्सर इस बात को समझ नहीं पाते और इसे बच्चे की कल्पना की उपज मानते हैं। शरीर का मौलिक तत्व व्यक्ति की चेतना के अनुसार वस्त्र पहनता है; यह अदृश्य सहायक वही वेश लेता है जो या तो व्यक्ति के वर्तमान जीवन का मुख्य गुण है या फिर पिछले जन्मों का कोई प्रमुख गुण।
Whether or not man acknowledges the existence of the body elemental and his responsibility to deal justly with this servant, the elemental takes his orders from him and acts according to his will. All of man’s thoughts and feelings are electronically transferred to him, and he immediately outpictures them within the cells of the body temple. Thus, man often makes himself ill by first making his body elemental ill. He trains his servant to think negatively and to feel negative, and his servant obeys. Whereas man’s doubts and fears completely paralyze the body elemental, a positive attitude toward life releases him to establish man’s health and well-being.
Just as sylphs and salamanders, gnomes and undines are bowed down by the planetary effluvia, so mankind’s body elementals are severely handicapped by the mass consciousness. If the individual is possessed by demons or is under a negative influence, the body elemental cannot help but be affected. Thus an ailing physical body can be symptomatic of the contamination of the aura and the control of the consciousness by forces untethered to the Christ. Unless challenged in the name of the Christ, these intruders can prevent the body elemental from effectively performing his service. Prevention being the best and safest cure, it behooves man to make daily invocations to the Christ Self for the freedom and protection of the body elemental from all foreign interference and from all that is not of the light.
The source of the energy the body elemental uses in servicing the physical body is man’s own heart flame and the light emanations of the chakras. If these centers, which are for the distribution of energy from the heart to the four lower bodies, are covered with astral effluvia, the body elemental is hindered in his attempts to bring forth perfection on the physical plane. The more light the individual has lowered into the forcefield of his being, the more light the body elemental has to work with as he tends the flame upon the altar of the body temple.
You are the master of your body elemental. As you give him positive input instead of those complaining negatives, you will be much happier, more healthy and more holy—and so will your body elemental. And, of course, body elementals cannot do the best job, even though they would like to, when you don’t give them the best food and exercise, spiritual teaching and practices.
The immortality of the body elemental
Unlike other elementals, the body elemental enjoys a type of immortality. Created simultaneously with the physical body of man, he becomes a part of the evolving soul consciousness as it gains experience in the plane of Matter. Between the soul’s embodiments, the body elemental identifies with the etheric counterpart and is prepared with the soul for the next incarnation. Recharged by the Christ Self for the service ahead, the body elemental assumes the form of the sometimes changing polarity—masculine or feminine—of the body that the soul will inhabit.
The body elemental gains immortality only when the soul earns his ascension. Having no further need for a physical body, the soul no longer requires the services of the body elemental, who likewise is freed from the rounds of reembodiment and the burdens of human density. Having attained through service, the body elemental may be retained by the ascended master as an immortal aid. Ascended twin flames, each possessing such a friend, make a spiritual foursome. The immortal bond between the Master and his aid is one without parallel in the human scene except, perhaps, in the loyalty of a Damon and Pythias.
Laying aside the body
Even the highest yogis have had moments of great burden and sorrow in leaving their body in their final samadhi, when the soul passes on and does not return. This is called the mahasamadhi. Almost everyone (with the exception of those who suffer severe psychological detachment from self and body) forms an emotional attachment to the body. After all, this is the body we have worn and worked through, the body that has provided the temple for our soul and the means by which we experience pleasure and pain on this plane, balance our karma and do good deeds.
So we say, “Blest be the tie that binds us to earth when we need to be earthbound to fulfill our reason for being and blest be the liberating power of Shiva! when it’s time ‘to shuffle off this mortal coil.’” Emotions connected with our attachment to the body are natural, and you should be aware that your body elemental has a consciousness and its consciousness permeates the physical body.
Don’t mistake your body elemental’s fears for your own. Your body elemental is also attached to the body, because that’s his job. He takes care of the body. No more body, no more job! So he’s wondering where he’s going and what he’s going to do when you lay that body aside in your final embodiment. You have to comfort your body elemental as you would a little child and promise him that you are taking him with you to the next octave because he has been a very faithful servant. Tell him he can still be your aide-de-camp after you’ve ascended and he’ll have plenty of assignments.
