All around the world there exists education and also mis-education about human subtle nature. You can readily see misinformation virtually anywhere that mentions the term ‘subtle energy’. It is especially present in yoga teaching and healing discussion. So often the beliefs of reality and actual reality become confused and intertwined. We exist in several different dimensions simultaneously; we all have inner vehicles – subtle bodies, we all use these every second of our lives. Yet for the most part, most people are completely oblivious to the inner reality of their being. Attention is sometimes given to ‘subtle energies and the body’ – as though these flow in and around the body. Yet this is a misunderstanding – the subtle energies do not flow in and around the body – because ‘the body’ is this outer, physical one – in this outer physical dimension. All subtle energies remain in subtle bodies. Imagine it as though you have many bodies in coincidence; all in the same place ‘within one – another’ – and then consider that your astral body has ‘astral energies’ – it does indeed – but these astral energies pertain to the astral body not the physical one. So when someone says ‘subtle energies of the body’ – in real terms they actually mean the energies of one or other of the subtle bodies and not this outer physical body. Yet people confuse the actual reality of multiple bodies with their own relative energies – and – this outer one. People don’t do this intentionally; it isn’t a practice to deceive – it simply reflects incomplete understanding of the true reality of the human being. There are no ‘subtle energies’ in the outer physical body.

There can be perception of the subtle energies; we can feel their presence and or movement in the right situation but this is because of something magical called consciousness. Our consciousness is like an amalgamated vital essence of all of our various bodies in each dimension at the same time. This is why we can feel emotions; emotions are generated in our astral body (aka the emotional body) and we are aware of these because our consciousness perceives them. Emotions are not created in our physical body – but having consciousness allows us to feel them while our consciousness is ‘seated’ in this outer physical body. Our thoughts too – we do not think with our brain; we generate thoughts in our mental body (aka the mind) in the mental plane or 5^th dimension. Again our consciousness allows us to become aware of our thoughts – they ‘appear’ to be centred in our head and are simply manifest in location with the relative areas of our brain. The brain is a very special organ – but it is still a physical organ. It does not think; we think with our mind and our consciousness enables us to perceive our thought.

So you can begin to see that the actual ‘map’ of the human system is complex to understand and exists on many different dimensions simultaneously. Yet, when understood it is simply wonderful by design – you just need more pieces of the jigsaw to be able to see the ‘bigger picture’.
