The concept of the body and the chakras

A wonderful instrument We're talking about the body. So the tool that lets us perceive the world that we have created with our ideas. We speak of matter in a scientific sense, at least in a way. Before we move on to looking at this body in the proper way, some basic information is necessary. We want to understand our body in such a way, that it serves us for our benefit, towards the path to truth. Much nothingWhat is the body ?A scientific approach leads us to the fact, that more than 97 percent of the body is made up of water. Water, in turn, is molecular matter. It's made up of atoms. If we imagine an atom schematically, we have an atomic shell on which a few photons and such are circling, in the middle the atomic nucleus. If you imagine the atomic nucleus as big as a soccer ball, it is around 90 kilometers from the nucleus to the photons on the outer shell. We are energySo that's 90 kilometers through nothing, because there is nothing between core and shell. That means, purely scientifically and well-founded, according to the algorithms and premises of our society, we consist of 99.99999996 etc. percent NOTHING. The fact is, all we are that exists, is energy. Our body is light, the light of love, just not visible to us. The separationFor it is also with the body, if you look at it in this way, just like with the mind, which is caught in its way of looking at it by the rope of dualism. Here, too, the strict rules of separation prevail, here too, thick cloths and bandages of darkness, death and disease, of suffering, envelop the functions in chaos. Path to truthBut the body, our temple, is something that we think, we understand, with which we identify. So it is only extremely logical that there are a multitude of answers here, that a clear path to the truth is also drawn here. After we have understood, that our corporeality is a very real, tangible, palpable, illusion of energy, we can carefully approach it in the value of the experienced, perceived world. To describe the energy body, we lean on old Buddhist, Hindu, simply spiritual traditions and use the terminology of the chakras. Symbolism onlyBefore we go into the chakras, one thing should be made clear. The separation, the division of the body's energy, its supposed splitting off into individual energy centers, chakras, can only be symbolic. Rather, it should be imagined as a pearl necklace whose pearls are transcended into a wonderful, large, single pearl. In all scriptures that deal with the chakras, certain properties are assigned to the individual centers. Diversification is to be rejectedWe can agree with this, but it is always clear, that one chakra characteristic depends to a large extent on all the others. In the following, only the seven main chakras are mentioned. We fundamentally reject any division, any diversification, and thus any separation. This is also where the thinking in most of the scriptures, strays far from the source thought.
