�Bubbles of Perception�,
Dantians, and Chakras
The term �bubbles of perception� was introduced into the spiritual science by Juan Matus, whose knowledge was passed on to humankind through Carlos Castaneda [18-25].
This term has fundamental importance because it helps seekers of the Perfection, which was preached for us by Jesus Christ [2,8,14] and by other Greatest Teachers [8], to correctly direct their effort on self-development through meditative practices.
Where did these words, so strange at first sight, come from? The fact is that the energy �cocoon� that surrounds the body of every person resembles, to some extent, a big bubble. This �bubble� can, in turn, be divided into two smaller unequal �bubbles�.
With our �bubbles�, we perceive the environment, that is why they were called �bubbles of perception�.
As we already said, every one of us has two �bubbles�: the upper one and the lower one. With the upper �bubble�, we perceive the world of matter (or tonal), while with the lower �bubble� we perceive the non-material world (or nagual).
Therefore, those who are willing not only to talk about God and other non-material manifestations but also to really cognize them � should pay attention to the development of their lower �bubbles�. They are designed for this purpose!
Our upper �bubbles� are also called upper dantians. They consist of the three upper chakras: sahasrara, ajna, and vishuddha [9].
Our lower �bubbles� are divided into two dantians: the middle one and the lower one.
The middle dantian consists of only one very important chakra � the anahata chakra. It is from this energy structure that the spiritual heart may begin its growth.
The lower dantian consists of the three chakras: manipura, svadhisthana, and muladhara. It serves as the power center of the organism, by nourishing both the organs of the body and the non-material components of the organism with bioenergy. It is intended, among other purposes, to provide energy for the quantitative growth of the consciousness (or soul).
