Animal magnetism/pt

Magnetismo animal é um termo originalmente usado pelo místico e médico austríaco Franz Anton Mesmer (1734-1815) para descrever o campo de energia que envolve todos os seres vivos e pelo qual ele era capaz de exercer uma influência hipnótica sobre os outros. Na verdade, todas as pessoas carregam um campo de força magnético que é determinado pela taxa de vibração de seus próprios pensamentos e sentimentos individuais e pelos registros de vidas passadas, ambos gravados no “círculo eletrônico” ou “cinto eletrônico” de cada corrente de vida.

Falamos de “magnetismo pessoal” ou de uma “personalidade magnética”. Essa é a qualidade intangível composta pela combinação de muitos fatores complexos do ego. Entretanto, há apenas um magnetismo verdadeiro que é desejável, que é o magnetismo do Cristo, que é a Estrela Polar do ser de cada homem. Tudo o mais é o brilho e o glamour do ser humano - a maya da imperfeição que deve ser tratada diariamente.

Tipos de magnetismo animal

Para simplificar, categorizamos quatro tipos de magnetismo animal. Os registros de imperfeição pessoal em cada um deles são as portas abertas pelas quais essas forças entram, reunindo mais de sua espécie a partir do acúmulo do carma em massa da raça.

O magnetismo animal malévolo funciona por meio do subconsciente, o corpo etérico. Trata-se de maldade - consciente, intencional e direcionada para o mal, como as muitas formas de ódio e ciúme que são a base da maioria dos atos criminosos.

► Main article: Ignorant animal magnetism

Ignorant animal magnetism works through the mental body and manifests as many forms of density—slowness of mind and action, clogging and sluggishness in the functioning of the physical body, untidiness and dust in one’s surroundings, a tendency to have accidents and, in general, being out of step with life. Ignorant animal magnetism is the Antichrist—the mass effluvia of human creation that opposes the expansion of the Christ light throughout the world. Problems connected with mechanical failures and electrical mishaps can often be traced to this form of animal magnetism.

Sympathetic animal magnetism works through the emotional body and thus vibrates on the level of the astral plane. Human sympathy, personal attachments and involvements not based upon the Christ are among the manifestations of sympathetic animal magnetism. It is the most difficult form of animal magnetism to pin down and deal with because it always masquerades as some form of human concern, all the way from deep affection to neighborly kindness. However, when friendships become possessive and are based on what one individual can get from another, this can never lead to the freedom of the individual and his ascension in the Light.

Family mesmerism is one manifestation of animal magnetism; it involves the exertion of unwholesome control of one individual over another in the name of family ties. This name is often given to hypnotic ties whereby we allow ourselves to be open to energy of negativity coming from members of our families.

Delicious animal magnetism works through the physical body and involves overindulgence in the gratification of one or more of the five senses. The attainment of mastery must include balance in all areas of living. Prolonged abuses to the physical body such as gluttony, sexual excesses and perversions, the use of harmful stimulants such as alcohol, psychedelic drugs, dope and other unwholesome indulgences lead to physical disease, insanity and death. In many cases the results are carried over for several embodiments. When entire communities are involved, cataclysm is the end result.

Such manifestations of a lack of self-control not only indicate an absence of mastery, but also they are sins against the Holy Spirit, for they violate the temple of God and the sacredness of the life force. It is each one’s responsibility to maintain the purity of the life-stream that flows forth from the Presence twenty-four hours a day. To this end were the four lower bodies created, and that man might win his victory in the world of form. Mastery over the four lower bodies is mastery over the four elements (etheric—fire; mental—air; emotional—water; physical—earth).
