How a distortion in the highest auric layers cascades down through each level until it manifests as physical illness — the complete disease process.
The Layered Reality
We are composed of layer upon layer of energy and consciousness. The aura is the medium through which creative impulses from higher realities are precipitated down into physical reality. To understand health or disease, we must understand how these impulses transmit layer by layer.
Each layer is a body, just as real, alive, and functioning as the physical body. Each exists in a conscious reality. Each is in a world of its own, yet interconnected and immersed in the same space as physical reality.
Planes of Reality
The planes of reality in which we exist, correlating with auric layers:
Consciousness on Each Level
Each auric layer expresses consciousness differently:
Level 7: Ketheric
Higher Concepts
"I know. I am."
Level 6: Celestial
Higher Feelings
"I love universally."
Level 5: Etheric Template
Higher Will
"I will."
Level 4: Astral
I-Thou Emotions
"I love humanly."
Level 3: Mental
Thinking
"I think."
Level 2: Emotional
Personal Emotions
"I feel emotionally"
Level 1: Etheric
Physical Sensation
"I feel physically"
Level Physical: Physical Body
Physical Functioning
"I exist. I am becoming."
The Creative Process of Health
Health is maintained when the creative force from spiritual reality is directed according to universal/cosmic law. The cascade:
In the healthy system, energies in each body remain balanced and support the balance in others. Health attracts more health.
The Dynamic Process of Disease
In the diseased system, the same step-down process is at work — but after the primary creative force moves out from spiritual reality, it becomes distorted and acts against universal law.
This distortion occurs when the primary creative impulse impinges upon an energy block or distortion within the aura. As soon as the impulse becomes distorted, it continues to be distorted as transmitted to succeeding levels.
Example: The Belief 'I Am Superior'
A distorted seventh layer relates to a distorted belief system. Example cascade:
Key Principles
Disease Cascades Downward
Imbalanced energies in higher bodies are progressively transmitted down into lower bodies, eventually causing disease in the physical body.
Disease Creates More Disease
Each disrupted body also has a disruptive effect on its neighbor above it. Disease tends to create more disease.
Healing Reverses the Process
By clearing blocks and restructuring distorted layers, the cascade reverses — health in physical body appears last, after other bodies have been balanced.
How Disease Appears on Each Layer
Effects of Medical Treatments on the Aura
Brennan's HSP observations of how treatments affect the aura:
These scars, disfigurations, and clogs can be healed by helping the physical body heal itself. If left distorted, the physical body has a much more difficult time healing. When an organ is removed, the etheric organ can still be reconstructed.
Chakra Disfiguration Examples
Brennan observed specific chakra disfigurations with specific conditions:
The Meaning of Pain
Disease at any layer expresses itself in that level of consciousness. Each expression is some form of pain — physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual. Pain is the built-in mechanism that alerts us to correct a situation.
Pain teaches us to ask for help and healing. It is a key to the education of the soul.
Exercise: Find the Personal Meaning of Your Illness
Key questions in the healing-education process:
We all create disease to some extent. If you look back at the original cause, it is always based on forgetting who we are. As long as we believe we must separate to individuate, we will continue to create disease.
