people have seven bodies. The first body is the physical body that we all know, the second body is the etheric body, also known as the emotional body, the third body is the astral body, the fourth body is the mental body or the spiritual body, the fifth body is the spiritual body, and the sixth body is the cosmic body. The seventh body is also the last body, called the Nirvana body or the Invisible body.
If the other five bodies between the first and seventh bodies are not considered, then there is no bridge between the two. If you can see the complete staircase, you will find that the first staircase is connected to the last staircase. If you look more closely, you will find that the last step is the end of the first step, and the first step is the starting point of the last step. Finally, there is a circular circle, all distinctions become one, good and evil, beauty and ugliness, yin and yang become a whole, and like a fish, they connect to each other's head and tail to form a complete whole, which is therefore called "one". Therefore, Buddha said that people have come from beginning to end.
When the seven bodies are a whole, you will find the connection between the first body and the second body. The second emotional body is a more subtle form of the body, all of which belong to the material level, but it is so subtle and detailed that it cannot be discovered. As matter becomes more delicate and subtle, it becomes thinner and thinner, and it looks less and less like a substance.
The seven years of the early life are the stage of physical growth. During this period, other bodies still exist in the form of seeds and are in a state of sleep in the early stages of life. Therefore, the first seven years in life are restricted seven years. During these seven years, a person's intelligence, emotions or desires will not grow, only the body will grow. This is also why children need to learn knowledge after entering school after the age of seven, why can’t they remember too much before the age of seven, and what we call “innocent” state.
But parents always think that the wrong concept of "you can't lose your child at the starting line". Confusedly forcing children to develop in all aspects, and development in all aspects disrupts the dominant development of physical growth, which not only wastes money and energy, but also has no effect or even has a negative effect.
Some people have not grown more after these seven years and have stalled at this stage. Just like an animal, its development only stays in the physical stage, and its other bodies have remained in a state of ungrowth.
No matter what, people need to experience and develop these seven bodies in the world, and each seven-year cycle has a specific development part. If you can develop to the seventh body normally, it will be forty-nine years, which also conforms to the principle of "the number of Dayan is fifty, and the use of forty-nine" in " Yijing ". The one that escaped is not a higher level that can be involved in the world. You can understand it as the eighth body of a human, that is, the "body outside the body", which is why the emperor had to wear a crown on his head, because the pearl on the crown represents the eighth body outside the body, which means a category that transcends humanity.
From this point, it can also be seen that the "Book of Changes" mainly talks about things in the world, which belongs to the category of seven bodies, while Laozi talks about a complete human self-development system that integrates with "Tao" from the first to the eighth body.
If a child's body does not fully grow and develop before the age of seven, then his body will always have problems in his next life. Even when he is in his best condition, he may not appear to be healthy on the surface, but he can never be called healthy. Because the foundation of his physical health was shaken in the first seven years of his life, the body that should have developed into a strong and solid was also disturbed. Therefore, the first seven years of life are the most critical seven years of physical development.
Just like the foundation of a house, if the foundation is weak and powerless, it will be very difficult or even impossible to renovate the foundation after the roof is built.
The social consensus is that parents take care of their children’s first physical growth and development, and then send their children to school to develop their intelligence. However, according to the current school education method, it originally took a person fifty years to develop his entire body, but now it needs to be completed in twenty-one years of education. As a result, a person must bet more energy to complete his growth. However, the situation is just the opposite. This will only make the development that a person could easily accomplish at the age of twenty-one, which will become longer and more difficult.
The problem is that he will miss the entrance to the next body that naturally appears at the age of twenty-one, which is the fourth body that transcends the mortal. Once you miss it, the troubles in the world will make him unable to recognize the correct entrance in the next thirty years. Originally, you could only step into the entrance with a light push, but you couldn't even see the entrance.
Therefore, we need an environment that can take care of children until they develop a fourth body, which needs to be well planned to lead the children to the fourth body state. As long as their growth reaches the fourth body, the next journey will be much easier, because once the foundation is laid, the fruit will continue to grow on its own. When growth comes to the fourth body level, the tree has taken shape, so the fruit will naturally appear in the fifth body, and a caring tree grows far better than a wild tree.
So, what should I pay attention to in the first seven years of physical growth?
That is the cultivation of awareness and sensitivity of the human body.
If the body is not sensitive enough to be aware of, it cannot be harmoniously connected with other bodies. When we walk, we never consciously pay attention. It seems that the body is automatically doing it. When we eat, we never realize that we are eating. We never seem to know how to pick up the dishes, how to open our mouths, and how to put them in our mouths. No matter what kind of activities our bodies are engaging in, they are in an unconscious way, just like a sleepwalker. The philosopher said that people are consciously asleep, which refers to our state of unknowing or insensitive awareness.
But unfortunately, adults often miss the guidance of their children's awareness, but instead force other knowledge on their children, making them have no time to pay attention to their own bodies. As we all know, children sometimes get lost in an object, or do some of their own actions several times, or even become very interested in something for a long time. But now children are spending more time learning knowledge and other skills. There is a phenomenon that the same hands and feet occurred during military training, which is the external manifestation of the physical body not being well developed in the first seven years.
If we cannot be aware of our own physical body, then awareness of our higher-level bodies will be even more pitiful. Because other bodies in the deeper layers are more subtle and elusive than physical bodies, if we cannot be aware of this body that is visible to the naked eye, let alone those spiritual and wonderful bodies that are invisible to the naked eye.
Once we start to perform every movement on the body with all awareness, then our identity with the body will begin to break. If you raise one hand with all awareness, you will begin to feel that you are separated from the hand because the person who raises his hand is completely different from the person who is raised. However, this feeling of separation from the physical body is the beginning of your awareness of the second etheric body.
The purpose of the physical body is to allow us to feel other spiritual bodies, but we have never used the body correctly. Because of our sense of identity with our physical sleep.The body is in a drowsy state, so that we have always lived in this body in an extremely unconscious way, just like there is no monarch in the country. This is also the reason why the monarch and ministers are always explained in the books of saints such as Laozi, Confucius , Zhuangzi .
However, if you begin to perceive every subtle movement of this body, you will begin to feel the existence of the second body. Then, you will be surprised to find that the vibration of the etheric body has always been active within you. For example, anger. Basically, anger is the activity of the second body, and the first body is just a medium used to express anger. If the first physical body develops well, then the person can easily control the physical changes brought about by the power of anger. And those who are prone to impulsiveness are also manifestations that the body is not well aware of.
" Doctrine of the Mean " says, "Happiness, anger, sorrow, and happiness are not yet released, and it is called middle; when it is released, it is all the middle part, which is called harmony."
"Happiness, anger, sorrow, and happiness are not revealed, which is called the middle" is exactly the second emotional body. If a person's emotional body develops well and is aware of the emotional body, then he can completely capture these emotional activities that arise from the second body and can be controlled from the root.
But if you do not have a good awareness, you will only pay attention to their existence after the emotions appear in the first physical body, so you cannot be undisturbed by emotions now. Many times, you suddenly become alert to your behavior after your emotions have been vented on others.
You are so insensitive to yourself. Only when the slap on someone else's cheek will you suddenly realize what you have done. "There is a middle part of the body, which is called harmony" so as to seek second-rate awareness and control of the body.
Therefore, the development of the first physical body is the basis of everything and is also the basis for people to walk in the world.
is not finished, the next chapter is a discussion about the second body "emotional body".
