The Caduceus Maps Over the Chakras
Use the diagram to the left to show how the caduceus is mapped
out over the chakras. Note that the snakes align with
each other at every chakra location indicating that integration
of the masculine and feminine energy is necessary in order
to activate the chakra.
The snakes are representative of the universal cosmic masculine
and feminine energies as they interpenetrate the individual
3D reality.
The pole at the center represents the central channel (Sushumna)
through which attainment of the divine (Spirit) is accomplished.
The wings indicate that the individual must transcend the
limited 3D reality of duality in order to unite with Creator.
The caduceus symbol has quite a colorful history,
but only a basic representation will be made here. The intertwining
snakes represent the male and female energy of the cosmos (duality)
spiraling about a central channel (the
created one) that terminates at a ball--sphere--representing
Nirvana (Oneness). The wings represent that the energy there
is transcendental in nature, and does not have physical form.
This is appropriate in that it represents the location of the 7th
chakra, and thus indicates the transcendental Self.
The Realm of universal opportunity (7th chakra) is revealed in
the Pineal gland as the division of Spirit and Matter is manifested
in light. In the manifestation of light, Pluto acts as the
ray of life
and operates as the
father--bearing the seed of the Soul incarnation--and governs
the 7th chakra by day. Neptune acts as the ray
of love and operates as the
mother, providing the space within which the seed evolves through
time. Neptune governs the 7th chakra by night, and as the
ray of love
represents a harmonic of the universal Divine
Love, Neptune rules through the Pineal gland (a master gland
in the body). Uranus acts as the ray
of wisdom and operates as the
created one, outpicturing as the Soul desire to incarnate.
Thus, the seed held within Pluto represents the field of all opportunity
for that incarnating Soul. And just as the seed evolves through
Life as the Soul, the seed within that Soul develops based on its
evolutionary progression through Life.
The location where the heads of the snakes meets represents the
division between the 7th and 6th chakras, which acts as a lens through
which the cosmic Spiritual energy (7th chakra spirit) is reflected
into the realm of physicality. Thus, the 6th chakra represents
the location where Divine
Light is reflected in the Brow chakra as a direct representation
of the Souls desire to incarnate. Here, the 3 outer planets
of Pluto, Neptune and Uranus manifest as the 3 rays of visible light
(life, love and wisdom), as the one vibration of unity condenses
into form. Here the drop
of divine nectar drips down from Bindu as a function of the
light interpenetrating the crystalline structure of the Pineal gland
(7th chakra). The realm of the drop itself represents the
field of all possibility for the incarnating Soul, while the manifestation
of the 3 rays represents the holographic imprint of the Soul desire
resident in the birth
contract.
Pluto has a dualistic nature, similar but quite different from
Mercury. In its Physical aspect, Pluto represents the
father of Creation, carrying within it the seed of the
created one that outpictures as Uranus upon birth. This
seed itself represents the zero, or unmanifest opportunity of the
universe, and thus represents the spiritual aspect of Pluto.
Thus, Pluto becomes the ambassador of the universe as it holds within
itself the seed through which the universe allows a Soul to incarnate
into nature. Neptune then acts as the female aspect of the
universe, taking within itself the seed of the universe and providing
the space within which the seed can be created into form.
When the cosmic play outpictures in the 3rd Eye, the seed reflects
as the backdrop through which the holographic form of the Soul manifests,
and is represented by the Moon. At the same time, the Sun
represents the manifestation of the 3 outer planets as they are
brought into form during the birth
event. The outpicturing of the 3 rays of cosmic light
now becomes manifest as the Soul expression in the 3rd Eye evolves
through time.
At the moment
of birth, the universe crystallizes Pluto (1) along with Neptune
(2), and the
created one, Uranus (3) in The Field of all possibility (0,
and then 4). The first division of time separates the zero
(the field of all possibilities represented by the Moon) from evolutionary
expression of number (Sun) within which it is born--and outpictures
as the division of Spirit and Matter. In form, the 3 outer
planets, as well as all other universal bodies, manifest to provide
the physical substance necessary for the incarnating Soul (represented
by the Sun as the active principle of the universe) to adjust its
position in the realm of Spirit. As we have seen, Spirit is
viewed as the field of all possibilities represented by the Moon
as the passive principle of the universe. While this is manifesting
as the 7th chakra, the second division of time manifests as the
polarity of male and female--and outpictures as the physical Sun
and Moon being the fundamental governors of the 6th chakra.
