Entering the Solar Plexus
The human body is profound beyond the comprehension of the mind. Medical doctors operate on the physical side of existence, whereas the inner observer looks through the feelings of experience for the truth behind the form. The psychic centres within the body (sometimes referred to as the ‘chakras’) function as a totality of being. The psychic centre that is the portal to the cosmic levels of mind is the solar plexus; this small but highly sensitive region beneath the breastplate is the doorway to reality. To cross this threshold is to unite with the mystery of life and the secret of death.
Love enters existence through the solar plexus and is the place where attraction to the beauty of other forms of life is first registered. As more power of stillness is developed, the emotional body of past gravitates back through the solar plexus into deep inner space, where the emotion is transformed and restored to the original state of love. When this happens, the reality point becomes increasingly energised by the solar presence through the individual’s divine beam. This is the cosmic procedure of enlightenment at every level of the spiritual process.
The entry into the solar plexus is helped considerably by attending to any problem areas in the external circumstances; when these are left unresolved, there will be an intermittent disturbance in the emotional field of self. The difficulty is that the emotions gathered around the chest, together with energies arising from the stomach region, tend to smear the aperture of the plexus centre. When someone is able to put the focus of attention on the solar plexus for longer periods without thought or distraction, the distinction of any particular part of the body disappears. Immediately, the perception passes through the plexus centre (often experienced as accelerating at tremendous speed) into the pristine blackness of inner space. Inherent within this state of purity is the knowledge intuited along the way – but now at a profundity of being that leaves no doubt as to the authenticity and value of what is being undertaken.
However, it’s not to be discouraged if nothing seems to be happening at first. This is because the solar plexus is the only part of the body which is nothing; and yet this apparent absence of feeling is a highly energised spiritual centre. There is usually no discernible sensation until entering the body in stillness and humility becomes a regular practice. The breakthrough happens when a subtle pulse is registered which is not unlike the heartbeat but originates from the cosmic realm of mind.
As cosmic beings, we came out of the solar plexus. We would return the same way at death, but this is rare in these materialistic times. The more common exit at the termination of the physical body is through the cranium, which necessitates a further process of purification. When divested of past, the quality of inner space is infused with the consciousness of the other planets which creates a spiritual line of power to the nucleus of the sun. Here, the being is finally united with its spiritual source at journey’s end – or the end for now of a particular phase of mind.
