The Seven Churches (Chakras)

Revelation 1:12-18:

And I turned to see the voice that spake with me (one Verb from the Army of the Voice who was talking to the Apostle). And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks. These are the seven chakras of the spinal medulla or the seven churches.

And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of Man (the Verb from the Army of the Voice, who was teaching the Apostle) clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. The Word, the Verb, always sounds.

And he had in his right hand seven stars (these are the seven Spirits before the Throne, which are in the Macrocosmos, and also these are the seven Atomic Angels who govern the seven chakras or seven churches located in the spinal medulla, which are in the Microcosmos): and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword (the Flaming Sword): And his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:” Our resplendent Dragon of Wisdom is the first and the last.

The Beloved One lives, and was dead; and behold, He is alive for evermore. He has the keys of hell and of death.

We divorced ourselves from the VERB that lives within the unknown profundities of our Being when we departed from Eden.

The Beloved One died for us, but behold, he lives eternally.

The Beloved One is Hiram who was killed by three traitors. He is Jesus condemned to death by Judas, Caiaphas and Pilate. These three traitors constitute what we call the “I,” the “EGO,” and the “MYSELF” (SATAN).

Sebal, the first traitor of Hiram, is Satan in the Astral Body of the human being; Ortelut, the second traitor of Hiram, is Satan in the Mind; and Stokin, the third traitor of Hiram, is Satan in the Will-Soul. Behold the “I” in its three fundamental levels of consciousness.

This “I” is the prince of this world, the three headed Black Dragon that we must decapitate and dissolve. The three heads are the three rebels that we carry within, the Demon of Desire, the Demon of the Mind, and the Demon of Evil Will. These are the three assassins of the VERB (Christ). “But behold, he is alive and he will live for ever more, Amen.” Christ has the keys of our Atomic Infernos.

He has the keys of hell and of death. (Verse 18).

We need to resurrect the Son of Man within ourselves.

The seven churches exist within the Microcosmos and within the Macrocosmos.

The Apocalypse is the book of the human being and of the Universe. The seven churches of our spinal medulla happily shine with the sacred fire of the Holy Spirit. The seven churches of our spinal medulla are the doors that give us entrance into the seven glorious cathedrals of the superior worlds.

We are filled with a lot of terror and mystical trembling when we see among thunder, lightning, earthquakes, tempests and great hail, the majestic Cathedral of Sardis.

The chakra of the larynx is the door that allows us to enter into the great Cathedral of Sardis.

The sublime and terribly divine Church of Laodicea is entirely of pure gold. Its cupola and walls are carved with the purest gold of the Spirit.

The lotus of one thousand petals, the resplendent Crown of the Saints, gives access into the glorious Cathedral of Laodicea.

This temple really exists in the superior worlds.

We study the rituals of life and death within the seven churches of the superior worlds, until the Officiant (The VERB) arrives.

The seven churches of the spinal medulla are united to the seven chakras or plexus of the Grand Sympathetic Nervous System by means of very fine nerves.

The seven churches are similar to lotus flowers which are suspended from the famous NADI CHITRA. The canal of Shushumna exists within the medullar canal. The canal of NADI CHITRA is within this canal of Shushumna. The seven beautiful and divine churches are suspended from this precious medullar canal.

The spinal medulla is the candelabra. The two olive trees of the temple are situated upon the right and left side. These are the two olive branches through which the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves. That golden oil is the ENS SEMINIS. “These are two anointed ones that stand by the Lord of the whole earth” (Zacharias 4: 12-14). These are the two witnesses IDA and PINGALA. These are the two sympathetic nerves that are entwined like two serpents around the spinal medulla and through which the oil of pure gold rises to the chalice (the brain).

When the serpent of metal awakens, it then enters through the “Centralis Canalis” of the spinal medulla and rises very slowly and with difficulty through the medullar canal, which is known in India as the Brahmanadi.

The seven churches shine with the blazing fire of the Holy Spirit. While this sacred fire rises, the seven churches become opened and they turn upwards. The chakras or sympathetic plexus awake in accordance with the opening of the seven churches.

The candlestick has seven lamps which are the seven churches, and seven canals for the lamps which are upon it. These seven canals correspond to the seven degrees of the power of the fire.

All of these chakras, discs, or magnetic wheels are the senses of the Astral Body.

Our soul is enveloped in the Astral Body. The anatomy, physiology and pathology of the Astral Body is ultra-sensible.

The senses of the Astral Body and the endocrine glands are found to be intimately related. Wherever a nervous plexus exists, a chakra of the Astral Body exists.

The Mind, the Willpower, the Consciousness, and the Spirit, etc., are within the Astral Body.

The Astral Body becomes filled with glory and beauty with the awakening of the seven churches.

Thus, this is how we transfigure and glorify ourselves completely.

Excerpted from The Aquarian Message by Samael Aun Weor.


The human being is a triad of body, soul and Spirit. A mediator between the Spirit and the body exists. This is the soul. We, Gnostics, know that the soul is dressed with a marvelous garment. This is the Astral Body. We already know through our Gnostic studies that the Astral Body is a double of our physical organism and is endowed with marvelous internal senses.

Great clairvoyants speak to us of the seven chakras, and Mr. Leadbeater describes them in great detail. These chakras are really the senses of the Astral Body. Such magnetic centers are found in close correlation with the glands of internal secretions.

In the laboratory of the human organism exist seven ingredients submitted to a triple nerve control. These nerves control the glandular septenary as agents of the Law of the Triangle. The three different nerve controls interact among themselves and are the following:

  • First: the Cerebrospinal Nervous System, agent of conscious functions.
  • Second: the Grand Sympathetic Nervous System, agent of the unconscious, subconscious and instinctive functions.
  • Third: the Parasympathetic, or Vagus, Nervous System, that collaborates by restraining the instinctive functions under the commands of the mind.

The Cerebrospinal system is the throne of the Divine Spirit. The Grand Sympathetic System is the vehicle of the Astral Body. The Vagus, or Para-sympathetic, obeys the commands of the mind. Three rays and seven magnetic centers are the basis for any cosmos, in the infinitely large, as well as in the infinitely small. “As above, so below.”

The seven most important glands of the human organism constitute the seven laboratories controlled by the Law of the Triangle. Each of these glands has an exponent in a chakra of the organism. Each one of the seven chakras is found located in intimate correlation with the seven churches of the spinal medulla. The seven churches of the dorsal spine control the seven chakras of the Grand Sympathetic Nervous System.

The seven churches become intensely active with the ascent of the Kundalini along the medullar canal. The Kundalini dwells in the electrons. The Sages meditate on it; devotees adore it, and in homes where the Perfect Matrimony reigns, it is worked with practically.

The Kundalini is the solar fire enclosed in the seminal atoms. It is the ardent electronic substance of the Sun, which when liberated, transforms us into terrifically divine Gods.

The fires of the heart control the ascension of the Kundalini through the medullar canal. The Kundalini develops, evolves and progresses according to the merits of the heart. The Kundalini is the primordial energy enclosed within the Church of Ephesus. This church is found two fingers above the anus and two fingers behind the genitals. The Divine Serpent of Fire sleeps coiled three and one half times within its church. When the solar and lunar atoms make contact in the Triveni near the coccyx, the Kundalini, the Divine Serpent of our magical powers, awakens. As the Serpent rises through the medullar canal, it activates each of the seven churches.

The chakras of the gonads (sexual glands) are directed by Uranus, and the pineal gland, situated in the upper part of the brain, is controlled by Neptune. There is a close correlation between these two glands, and the Kundalini must connect them with the Sacred Fire in order to achieve profound Self-realization.

The Church of Ephesus is a lotus of four splendid petals. The brilliance of this church is that of ten million suns. The elemental earth of the Sages is conquered with the power of this church.

The ascent of the Kundalini to the prostate region activates the six petals of the Church of Smyrna. This church bestows upon us the power to dominate the elemental waters of life and the joy of creation.

When the Sacred Serpent reaches the region of the umbilical cord, we can dominate the volcanoes because the elemental fire of the Sages corresponds to the Church of Pergamos, situated in the solar plexus. This center controls the spleen, the liver, the pancreas, etc. This center of Pergamos has ten petals.

With the ascent of the Kundalini to the heart region, the Church of Thyatira with its twelve marvelous petals is activated. This church bestows upon us power over the elemental air of the Sages. The development of this cardiac center confers inspiration, presentiment, intuition and powers for leaving our physical body consciously in the Astral Body as well as the power to place our body into a Jinn state.

The second chapter of Revelation deals with the four inferior churches of our organism. These are the four centers known as the fundamental or basic, the prostatic, umbilical and cardiac. Now we shall study the three superior magnetic centers mentioned in Revelation, chapter three. These three superior churches are the Church of Sardis, the Church of Philadelphia and, lastly, the Church of Laodicea.

The ascent of the Kundalini to the region of the creative larynx bestows upon us the power to hear the voices of beings that live in the superior worlds. This chakra is related to pure Akasa. Akasa is the agent of sound. The larynx chakra is the Church of Sardis. When the Kundalini opens the Church of Sardis, it blossoms forth upon our fertile lips made Word. The laryngeal chakra has sixteen beautiful petals.

The complete development of this Akasic center allows us to keep our bodies alive even during the deep dark nights of the great Pralaya. The incarnation of the great Word is impossible without having awakened the Sacred Serpent. Precisely, the agent of the Word is Akasa. It is to the Word what wire is to electricity. The word needs the Akasa to manifest itself.

Akasa is the agent of sound. The Kundalini is Akasa. Akasa is sexual. The Kundalini is sexual. The magnetic center where our Kundalini normally lives is absolutely sexual, as demonstrated by the fact that it is located two fingers above the anus and close to two fingers behind the genitals. The space where it is located is four fingers wide. The Kundalini can only be awakened and fully developed with sexual magic.

This is what the infrasexual people do not like. They feel themselves to be super-transcendent and mortally hate sexual magic. On one occasion, after listening to a conference that we gave about sexual magic, someone protested saying that was how we Gnostics were corrupting women. This individual was an infrasexual. The man protested because we were teaching the science of regeneration. However, on the other hand, he did not protest against those of intermediate sex, against prostitutes, against the vice of masturbation, nor did he say that these people were corrupt. He protested against the doctrine of regeneration but did not protest against the doctrine of degeneration. That is how infrasexual people are. They feel highly superior to all people of normal sexuality. They protest against regeneration but defend degeneration.

Infrasexual people can never incarnate the Word. They spit inside the sacred sanctuary of sex, and the law punishes them, hurling them into the Abyss forever. Sex is the sanctuary of the Holy Spirit.

The Perfect Matrimony: The Door to Enter into InitiationWhen the Kundalini reaches the level of the middlebrow, the Church of Philadelphia is opened. This is the eye of wisdom. The Father who is in secret dwells in this magnetic center. The middlebrow chakra has two fundamental petals and many splendorous radiations. This center is the throne of the mind. No true clairvoyant says that he is one. No true clairvoyant says: “I saw.” The clairvoyant Initiate says: “We have learned.”

All clairvoyants need initiation. The clairvoyant without Initiation is liable to make very serious mistakes. The clairvoyant who goes around telling his visions to the whole world is liable to lose his faculty. The charlatan clairvoyant who talks about his visions can also lose his mental equilibrium. The clairvoyant must be quiet, humble, modest. The clairvoyant must be like a child.

When the Kundalini reaches the level of the pineal gland, the Church of Laodicea is opened. This lotus flower has a thousand resplendent petals. The pineal gland is influenced by Neptune. When this Church is opened we receive polyvision, intuition, etc. The pineal gland is intimately related to the chakras of the gonads or sexual glands. The greater the level of sexual potency, the greater the development of the pineal gland. The lesser the degree of sexual potency, the lesser the degree of development of the pineal gland. Uranus in the sexual organs and Neptune in the pineal gland unite to take us to total Self-realization.

In the schools of regeneration (so mortally hated by infrasexual people) we are taught how to work practically with the science of Uranus and Neptune.
