The Body Elemental - responsibilities and relationship to the individual

This is a supplement (#11) to Maha Chohan’s  Letter from 7/24/52 (Bridge to Freedom Bulletin #38).  Note:  It details quite nicely the responsibilities and the relationship between the Body Elemental and the individual it is assigned to.  

Body Elemental

As our correspondence on the Body Elemental has raised some interesting questions.  I have decided to elaborate a little on the instruction.

At the time when the individual lifestream first chose to go forth into incarnation, the Higher Mental Body (Christ Self) was called before the Karmic Board and given Its permission and also the destination to which it would be sent.

In order to provide a physical form in which the Higher Mental Body could function, the Builders of Form were called upon to provide Elemental Beings from the same Sphere and Ray to which the Incarnating lifestream belonged.  These Elemental Beings had been trained at Inner Levels to draw the Universal Light substance and follow a pattern,  to create a flame flower or some simple form of nature.  The length of time that the Elemental could hold the pattern in his consciousness determined the duration of the manifest form.  As these potential Builders of Form increased in their capacity to hold the patterns received by them from the great Nature Devas,  they worked up the ladder of evolution to a point where they might be entrusted to build the Temple which would house the Presence of God.

Each lifestream,  before the first incarnation,  was joined to an Elemental in a solemn ceremony before the Karmic Lords;  the Elemental was charged to remain with the lifestream so long as it should desire to inhabit a physical body,  to keep the body in repair,  and in all ways make it a habitable temple.

The pure electronic Light substance and the forces of the elements were given into the keeping of the Body Elemental,  who was allowed to look upon the perfection of the Higher Mental Body,  which was to be the pattern it would build with the substance of the third dimensional plane.

At first,  the creation of the body was a joyous and happy experience.  After the Presence projected the Immortal Flame into the airless cell,  the Body Elemental drew the necessary elements and re-created almost perfectly the design and pattern of the Higher Mental Body.  The flesh forms of those early ages were beautiful beyond words to describe,  and truly a Golden Age of beauty prevailed.  The Etheric Double was the pattern which the Elemental Body used, for this finer body outpictured the full glory of the Higher Mental Body and it was easy for the Elemental to have reference to this pattern from time to time.  The elemental took up abode within the Temple,  which it had builded - and like a housekeeper or a caretaker - maintained the functions which kept the body in workable order (repairing, fueling, etc.) and the association between the Dweller and the Elemental was a happy one.

When man began to experiment with the use of energy, and to build into his etheric body certain distortions of form and impurities of essence, the Body Elemental became confused because the pattern was distorted, and it OBEDIENTLY began to build the distortions into the flesh.

Then, between embodiments, the evolving soul was allowed to sojourn in whatever realm or sphere it had earned the right to inhabit through its use of energy in the earth life, and the Elemental was freed from it to enjoy a certain freedom in the Elemental Kingdom and rest up for the next service when the soul was called for a new embodiment.

When the Lords of Karma called the incarnating lifestream again, it usually appeared within Its Etheric Body, wherein is recorded all the experiences passed through, not only on earth but in the inner realms between embodiments.  The Body Elemental is also called at this time, and there is often quite a “scene” because the Elemental rightfully objects to using its energy to mould and form a body as distorted as the Etheric Body of its partner on this journey.  The Higher Mental Body of the lifestream is also in attendance, and the Body Elemental is soothed by Its Presence and offer of support.  Then the substance which the soul has charged with his energy - pure or otherwise - is given to the Body Elemental to weave into the new physical form.   Here again, it is very reluctant to take such impure substance, and wherever possible, it saves the “best” of the elements for the outside, and put the impure substance inside the form.  (Whitened sepulchres!)   You will see that after centuries of endeavor to reproduce the Higher Mental Body through the substance provided by the lifestream,  and the tremendous added strain of working against the appetites and passions which the individual developed an antipathy for the lifestream with which it is forced to work.  Thus the body was no longer a co-operative, loving helper,  but blocked the projects and designs of the individual whenever possible.

When the individual comes to a point of understanding, and endeavors to abide by the laws of purity and abstinence, from those activities which break down the structure of the physical form, there is the beginning of a new association and friendship between the individual and the Body Elemental.

 This, however, is not builded up in the matter of an instant,  for centuries of abuse and careless use of the Temple,  created and sustained by this Elemental,  is not forgotten easily.  Then, too,  the Body Elemental must wait for the purification of the etheric envelope, which forms its pattern. 

  When this Etheric Body has been held in the Sacred Fire and resumes its Light Pattern of the Higher Mental Body,  the Body Elemental can quickly outpicture it through the flesh.

Also, the very substance that makes up the physical form has been used over and over in successive embodiments, and this too, requires purification, in order to raise in vibratory action and emit light.  You will see, therefore, the necessity for the use of the Violet Flame and the action of the Cosmic Flame of Cosmic Purity, in connection with the work being done with the Builders of Form…..When this is understood and conscientiously applied,  We shall have again some of those “bodies enduring” that are absolutely non-recordant to “dis-ease”, disintegration, and finally death.

Hoping this will be of assistance to those earnest hearts who have asked for your elaboration upon this subject.

Lovingly, sincerely and devotedly,

“I AM”
