| | | | | | Hi Friend,
Last week we explored Soul as an individualized expression of Divinity, and personality as everything we have learned in this and past lives.
We also started to look at personality and Soul as being two ends of a whole spectrum (or range) of consciousness and/or emotions.
We finished last week by briefly mentioning the Tibetan Buddhist concept of the Six Lokas* in relation to a spectrum of consciousness.
Let's now explore this further...
|
| | In the theory of the Six Lokas*, or six 'realms', our lower emotions correspond to higher states of consciousness. So anger, for example, is thought to be a lower frequency of love and through prayers and spiritual practices anger will be transformed into love.
They are thought to be simply different ‘vibrations’ on the same spectrum. So we can take heart in this fact because it means that if we have a lot of anger, it means we also have a huge capacity for Love - we just need to learn how to shift the vibration.
The Six Lokas:
Anger = Love
Greed = Generosity
Ignorance = Clear Wisdom
Jealousy = Openness
Pride = Peacefulness
Laziness = Compassion
"our anger obscures our capacity to love,
our sadness obscures our joy,
our prejudice obscures our equanimity, and
our greed obscures our compassion"
Last week we mentioned how, in Esoteric Astrology the Tibetan Master DK explains that there are fundamentally 6 zodiac signs and that we experience them as 12 signs due to our dualistic mind. Early in the relationship between the Master DK and Alice Bailey** he simply introduced himself as “The Tibetan” and said he was the Abbott of a monastery in Tibet.
So the Tibetan would have been very familiar with the concept of the Six Lokas, which is said to be thousands of years old. I often wonder if there is a correlation between the Six Lokas and the six ‘polarities’ in astrology!
Just as a reminder, the six polarities are:
Aries-Libra
Taurus-Scorpio
Gemini-Sagittarius
Cancer-Capricorn
Leo-Aquarius
Virgo-Pisces
It would be an interesting exercise to figure out if and how they correspond, wouldn’t it? I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on this!
The point is that our personality and Soul are not separate but can be thought of as two ends of a spectrum of vibration or frequency, with a variety of expressions in-between. Our personality can therefore be thought of as simply a lower vibration expression of our Soul light. Which is why, to keep things relatively simple, in some of my articles I speak about the personality as the ‘fear-based’ expression and the Soul as the ‘love-based’ expression. However we can see that the entire energetic spectrum is really much richer than that.
The beauty of speaking in terms of a spectrum, is that it reminds us that there really is no separation. Essentially, while there is no difference between us at our essence, any one of us can be at any point along the spectrum at any time. The ’seeds’ of both the ‘lower’ and ‘higher’ vibration expressions exist in us all, and can ‘ripen’ in different circumstances.
This is whole basis of astrology. When we look at a natal chart we can see all the potential ‘seeds’ - both ‘negative’ and ‘positive’ in our stream of consciousness. As we become more self-aware, we are more able to navigate the spectrum for ourselves and choose higher expressions of our Soul Light.
We’ve taken a fantastic journey over the past few weeks in our exploration of who we are…
and the conclusion?
We really are fantastic beings of light,
with a myriad different expressions.
We can also discover this fact for ourselves through the simple power of our own self-awareness. We don’t have to take anybody’s word for it. Self-awareness allows us to take our own inner journey of light and discover the truth of our being for ourselves.

That's all for now! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! See you next week and in the meantime... happy exploring!
Best Wishes, Ruth *The Sanskrit word 'Loka' means 'world' or 'realm' and refers to realms of existence. In some Hindu and Buddhist traditions it is believed that our 'mind' or consciousness, keeps us in that world or 'realm'. In ancient times they were said to be 'hell realms' but we can think of them as states of mind, as each shift to a higher vibration can lead us out of our own personal 'hell'. There are variations in language when translated from Sanskrit into Tibetan and then into English so you will sometimes see alternative words used, such as greed to compassion, or sadness to joy. **Alice Bailey (A.B.) is said to be an ‘amanuensis’ of sorts to a spiritual teacher who referred to himself as The Tibetan. An amanuensis is generally someone who is hired to take dictation but in this case the Tibetan and A.B. had a telepathic relationship. At the time The Tibetan referred to himself as the abbot of a monastery in Tibet, which some scholars now believe to be Tashi Lhunpo monastery at Shigatse, in the Tibetan region of modern-day China. The work known as “A Treatise on the Seven Rays” (of which Esoteric Astrology is volume III) was transmitted by the Tibetan through Alice Bailey.
