The astral field of the Living Body of the young Gnosis is characterized, outwardly, by color and vibration. The color of this field can best be defined as gold, mixed with violet; not a reddish or bluish violet, but a constant, very special color producing a golden violet luster.

Gold is the color of the reborn state of the Soul. That is why we speak of the Golden Rosycross, and sing of the golden wonder-flower. It is ancient knowledge that gold, as to its luster and vibration, is associated with the reborn state. Only think of the ancient art of painting. Pure violet is the basic color of the New Spectrum of Soul-Mankind, in which the reborn Soul, the golden wonder-flower, can be taken up into a New State of Life.

You may have wondered why we spoke in previous chapters of an astral field of the nature-of-death and of a newly-constructed astral field of the Living Body of the Spiritual School. Perhaps you thought it too earthly to visualize the two fields existing adjacent to each other, yet separated and protected in different ways. No doubt you will think differently if you bear in mind that it relates to vibration.

The sidereal or astral substance has a vibration range in the Seventh Cosmic Domain (the Cosmic Physical Plane) of about 450 trillion to 700 trillion cycles-per-second. These are some of the figures given by the Universal Doctrine. Within this vibration range, the different astral phenomena, forms and activities connected with the Seventh Cosmic Domain manifest themselves. Expressed in colors, they are bright red, the lowest vibration, up to bluish-violet, the highest vibration possible in the dualistic life-field. The radiations connected with all this have, according to the Universal Doctrine, a wavelength of 666 to 428 nanometers (a nanometer is one billionth of a meter). The fastest vibrations have the shortest wavelengths.

As soon as the limit of vibration is exceeded in a negative sense, when a slowing down or a weakening aspect occurs that continues below the limits of the Seventh Cosmic Domain, breaking, crushing, explosion and the death of dissolution follows.

As soon as these boundaries are exceeded in a positive manner, that is, upwards in the direction of the Sixth Cosmic Domain (the Cosmic Astral Plane), this domain is entered and a new shape appears: the Soul-Man. The transition from the Seventh into the Sixth Cosmic Domain irrevocably involves Transfiguration. This is a scientific necessity.

If a personality -- a microcosm -- is maintained by a constant vibration, as a consequence of which its vehicles remain concentrically within each other, a special vitality is added and life maintains itself via the available possibilities of the personality. If the personality weakens, it involves a slowing-down of the life-vibration. At a given moment, it is slowed down to such a degree that the personality cannot maintain itself in the body any longer and dies. In short, this is the cause of bodily death.

The other possibility is that we are touched by a Field of a higher vibration than usual. The issue is whether we can respond to it. If we react positively, this Field increases in vibration by means of a process. Because of this increase in vibration beyond that of the dualistic, the microcosm and the auric being change, as well as the personality. In other words -- transfiguration. At a given moment transfiguration is a scientific necessity for man.

In the first case the result is death by dissolution; in the other, death by Rebirth; two kinds of death in the dualistic sphere of life. But what an immense difference! The one death signifies countless repetition, chained to the wheel of birth and death. The other death you will experience only once. When you die this death, you will arise in Eternal Life.

This is what is behind the constant call to raise one's vibration. This is the reason behind the necessity for purification of the thought-life and the desire-life. Thoughts and desires of an earthly nature are of a low vibration and resonate only with duality, the nature-of-death. When the thought-life and the desire-life are elevated in a gnostic sense, the candidate is in effect reaching upwards, vibrationally, instead of downwards. We know that like attracts like. Therefore, at a given point, those who continue to vibrate at a higher level can and will be taken up into a Higher Sphere of Life.

Because the vibrations of this New Field of Life are in the terahertz range, it is outside of the ability for the physical human to perceive. The entities and activities of this Field are invisible to dualistic man. Thus, those few who are able to achieve transfiguration while in the physical effectively "disappear" from the view of physical man. This is why the grave of the Christ was found "empty". And did He not promise that we would do greater things?

Those who are unable to transfigure while in the physical will retire after "death" to Shamballa, where they will continue the process of transmutation to its ultimate and victorious conclusion.

Transfiguration is a scientific fact that the aeons of this nature have worked tirelessly for ages to suppress and keep away from mankind. The archons and aeons of the reflection-sphere do not wish to lose their prey, their nourishment, their sustenance. The process itself should not be difficult to understand. It is a matter of being aware of the science behind the process, gaining insight into the forces arrayed against us and making the decision to walk -- in humble self-surrender -- the Path that leads to Final Liberation from the nature-of-death.

"Truly I say to you, he who puts his faith in Me will do the very works which I do, and he will do greater things than these" John 14:12
