You are more than the physical body that you sense. Your mind, emotions, and soul have their own bodies. These bodies are distinct from yet connected to your physical body. You have many bodies. Highly sensitive people have always been able to perceive one or more of these nonphysical bodies. Recent advances in science and technology are verifying their existence. Our day to day experience confirms their reality.
Please note: This image is more metaphorical than actual because such levels cannot be well represented in imagery as they are very abstract.
Function:
The Atmic Body is the vehicle of identification with the One-Life the enlivens as well as observes and acts through every living being and creature on planet earth.
It is the vehicle through which perfect self-mastery is attained.
Range of Consciousness:
Atmic consciousness is undifferentiated awareness – identification, not with individuality, not with groups of beings, but with all pervading life itself.
If there is a strong sense of individuality, then it is not a pure Atmic state but rather a reflection of it in Mental or Astral levels.
The feeling of Atmic consciousness is that of pure equanimity, a complete transcendence of both pain and bliss, completely unbiased and equanimous towards all – extremely intense peace.
The Atmic 5 senses are: Beatitude (the Atmic ability to hear the sound or vibration that creates the form of anything and everything on all levels up to the Atmic), Active Service (the Atmic feeling sense of the ever unfolding need of creation), Realization (the Atmic ability to see the truth), Perfection (Atmic taste that leads to the heart of one’s nature), Perfected Knowledge (Atmic smell that guides a being to its source, its true home).
Atmic consciousness is also characterized by omnipotence, an extreme power of will that makes nearly all possible. Atmic consciousness incarnates the will aspect of Deity.
It resides in the Atmic Universe. (For information about the Atmic Universe go to The 7 Universes.)
Form/Structure:
The Atmic body is a radiation from a central point that is unified with the One-Life that envelopes and surrounds the earth; animating, perceiving through, acting through all living creatures on all levels of existence (Buddhic, Manasic, Causal, Mental, Astral, Etheric, Physical) on the earth.
This radiation of awareness extends in 7 spatial dimensions. (For more information about this go to Understanding Spatial Dimensions.)
How Awakened:
Atmic consciousness is awakened through specific meditation practices.
