Mini-course Learn about reincarnation - Day 4, The Course of Physical Life — YouTube from the CEC Library

Let us explore the path of physical life. After birth, the child has all the chakras open and is more receptive to learning, because the emotional factors and fears are not yet fully developed—except for remnants from past lives.

Up to the age of 5, 6, or 7, the child operates mainly in the base chakra, with physiological activities and simple desires, without the analytical complexities of adults. This period is crucial for learning and also for the formation of emotional marks, such as fears, which are recorded in the emotional chakras. Freud already pointed out that the marks of childhood have a lasting impact. The base chakra, because of its high acceleration, responds quickly to the environment, generating dense energy and requiring constant replenishment—which explains children's greater energy consumption compared with adults. In addition to the base chakra, children also use the spleen and navel chakras, all of them instinctive.

Dividing life into seven-year cycles—from 0 to 7 years, from 7 to 14, and from 14 to 21—the maturing of the chakras is expected to occur naturally, without traumas or problems. A healthy family relationship, without aggressiveness or impositions, makes this development easier. At the age of 21, ideally, a person would be resolved in these three chakras. However, most of us do not manage it, resulting in regressive behaviors, such as infantilized laughter or baby-like behavior, because of unresolved issues.

Up to the age of seven, the child should fully live their childhood, learning in a playful way and playing. Adolescence, marked by the drive of the base and spleen chakras, brings an intense sexual desire. A lack of understanding about sexuality can lead to disorganizations, but good guidance helps to channel these energies productively.

Up to the age of 14, this path should be turned much more toward the self than toward external things. Then comes the third phase, with the development of the navel chakra, where the ego manifests strongly. The delimitation of personal space begins with one's name, and the ego grows stronger over the course of life. It is important to learn to detach from the ego in order to mature physically and to make full use of life. Each phase should be lived in the best possible way, even if 100% is not achieved.

After the age of 21, development continues through the heart, laryngeal, and frontal chakras, up to the crown chakra, which ideally would be reached around age 51 or 52, although it can be reached by age 60. This maturity is shown by serenity and acceptance of others, unlike heated and aggressive behaviors, which indicate that consciousness is still transitioning from the navel chakra to the heart chakra. True spiritual maturity is reflected in consciousness being active in the higher chakras, even though all the chakras are used.

A quite advanced consciousness respects everyone and is always willing to welcome the other person, even when that person has difficulties. It sees beyond limitations and seeks to help instead of to disqualify. Confrontation, on the other hand, is a childish attitude, tied to the first chakras: the base, the spleen, and the navel. These chakras promote the delimitation of space and constant confrontation, which is great nonsense, because life offers countless opportunities for creation and healthy activities, both physical and mental, that are often neglected in favor of personal conveniences.

Our life path should be enriched with knowledge and behavior. Meeting someone special, talking sincerely, and assessing compatibilities are important steps. However, our neediness often diverts us from growth and evolution. Disorganized upbringing is reflected in the way we treat our children, often with guilt instead of genuine affection. Physical life follows a trajectory similar to a parabola: rise, balance, and natural decline due to the wear of the physical body, which is vulnerable and sequential.

It is essential to keep growing internally, especially on reaching 50 or 60 years of age. Even with physical health, growth in consciousness and perception is vital for a rich and happy life. Some people reach that state, but they are few. Knowledge, combined with correct attitudes, is essential in order to mature in relationships and to overcome aggressiveness and passivity. Resolving difficulties should not be only an effort of the ego; it can also involve professional help. If there is an illness, it is necessary to see a doctor in order to avoid a worsening.

Making use of every instant to add something to life and to organize oneself is crucial. We should deal with instinctive desires and build a rational and organized life. The quality of nourishment, both physical and mental, is important. Personally, I do not eat meat, because I consider it a dense energy. I prefer vegetables, which offer spiritual and energetic advantages, because they are immanent energy, free of the fear and instinctive reactions of animals.

At the end of life, the knowledge acquired makes it possible to continue the journey, because the loss of the physical body does not end the story. We meet what we really are; there is no magical transformation after death. We are our own heirs—an idea I have defended since my first book. This applies not only to this life, but to several reincarnations. We are responsible for our path and we should not blame others for our choices.

Over the course of life, we come to the last day, the last hour, the last instant. It is important that this transition be calm, passing from one state of consciousness to another. The physical body is like an old set of clothes that we leave behind. Even though we know this, a death brings suffering because of the physical absence, the lack of conversation, hugs, and laughter. Living together, even in silence, is valuable. When the person is no longer present, we miss them.

Our physical life is meaningful, because the body allows us contact with consciousnesses of various levels. This teaches us to move out of repetitive patterns and to open our minds. It is essential to respect other people's beliefs, even if they are different from ours. We do not know our true spiritual level, and it is important to remember that we are part of a larger whole. We should make an effort to be a good part of that whole.

During life, we learn about spirituality and other activities. Physical life should include various kinds of learning in order to open spaces and frequencies in the chakras. Studying a language, music, painting, or any physical activity, and improving interpersonal relationships are essential. Avoiding judgments and seeking knowledge leads us to liberation. In the last moments of life, it is important to have awareness of what we accomplished, even if we did not do everything. Giving thanks for what we have and for what we do not have is essential. "Yes" and "no" should have the same value, reflecting our inner state. External circumstances should not change us.
