Diagram (iv) represents the head of a normal man as seen by etheric vision. Prana,52 which can be seen clairvoyant as a golden-yellow stream, flows up the spinal cord into the head, where it spreads out like a golden rain, and vivifies the whole of the contents of the skull, the skull itself, the scalp, and the hair, as indicated by the small dots. The etheric centres, which correspond to the pituitary and pineal glands, are shown as tiny flames, for such is their appearance to etheric sight. A flow of pram passes round these centres and out at the top of the head through an embryonic etheric Brahmarandra chakram. The Ajna chakram, as yet unvivified, is faintly visible as an etheric tube filled with a pith-like etheric matter. Prana flows around and through it, and is discharged through the undeveloped chakram. The same is also true of the throat centre. Before these chakrams can consciously be employed as sense organs, the “Serpent Fire” or Kundalini must be aroused and, by flowing through the proper channels, accompanied by its appropriate “vital airs”, Ida and Pingala, must vivify the whole seven chakrams as it passes from die base of the spine, where it is normally stored, to the top of the head.
