ATTRIBUTES OF AKASHA
Akasha is the 5th element the one from which all 4 tattwas /Hermetic elements are derived; air, fire, water, earth. Akasha is composed of all four primary elements being half moon and 1/8 fire 1/8 earth, 1/8 water and 1/8 air. From akasha all may be manifested.

CLAIRIENTLY SENSING AKASHA;
Akasha is silver in colour, it feels cool in temperature but easily warmed, it is shiny and bright in light like the periodic table element mercury and looks very similar. It is light in weight, it is wet like all moon elements but not saturated like basal water. Akasha is female in nature. It is the Moon and the mother of the elements.

Akasha is the reciprocal of golden Sun energy which has been called Amoris or love, that is the 6th element. Akasha is peaceful, manifestation energy. It is reflective and hides like a 2 way mirror. It is protective and shields , it is difficult for negative energies to permeate it.

Vedic texts indicate that all energies can be felt, seen , heard, smelt and tasted.Negative demonic energy , for example, smells like rotten eggs, cat urine, maggoted meat et cetera. Sulphur is commonly smelt when demons arrive. Avatars and angels smell of flowers and fruit or spices like saffron or olive oil. But I have not smelt akasha, often. On occasion it smells like a freshly opened metal adhesive tab or cold aluminum foil that has wrapped something sweet. It can take on the fragrance of all things but has a cold metal flavour which is fresh and crisp and sweet.

NADIS
Nadi means river. It is a Vedic or sacred Hindu text term for the subtle energy tubes or pipes that ascend from the perineum to the crown through the physical body. The ancient Vedantic texts recorded by mystics on the Indus Penisula state that there are innumerable nadis but only 3 principle nadis always present at birth. The 14 principle nadis are named in Vedic texts and these appear in a predictable continuum;

Each represents a unique elemental colour and nature. The nadis can be felt and seen clairvoyantly and their perceived colour and nature has been recorded since ancient times. All agree that the;

Right channel nadi;fire , day, father, God, hot, bright,dry, light, ascending, envigorating sun.
And generally there is agreement that this is pale white becoming yellow with maturity and the

Left channel nadi: water,night,mother,Goddess,cold,dark,wet, heavy, descending, pacifying moon in exact reciprocal nature to the sun. Most find it white but it becomes pastel blue and then platinum blue in colour. The thicker main channel is Sushumna;

central front channel nadi is earth,son,avatar prince,warm, dark,damp,heavy,grounding earth
in exact reciprocal nature to the winds. Most agree that this is pink or a shade of red.

central rear channel nadi is air, daughter,princess, cool, bright, moist, light, lifting air.

There are 4 primary elements but only 3 principle nadis. Gandahari is the long awaited and sought after princess without which the magickian can not raise kundalini or project from the body at will or produce Jing its noble treasure or produce the subsequent and higher vibration akasha.

The nadis are tiny rivers of energy flow that appear clairvoyantly like thin coloured wires. The outer colour of the wire is the same as the colour of the elemental energy carried within it. The nadis are clustered in a bundle called a kanda/candle at the perineum ascending vertically to the crown. These rivers flow from the source branching out into the limbs like a tree looking like the nerves or veins in the human physical body. All humans have at least red earth and blue water nadis running through the arm but yellow sun comes later and green is the last to develop in the tetrapolar set.

The network of nadis is so complex and sophisticated in the trunk that it is difficult to distinguish clairvoyantly, there. But it is much simpler to look clairvoyantly down the shoulder or up the wrist and one will see a neat round bundle of coloured lines of energy. This pattern of which elemental nadi emerges next is predictable in its development and will occur on each individual in the same manner irregardless of their paradigm or lack thereof.

However, there will be differences in the volume , width and ability to express or imbibe each element as influenced by paradigm, use, flow and experience. For example one would expect that a Reiki healer would have highly developed energy centres in the arms and palms and that is true. Martial Artists typically have highly developed energy centres in the belly. Mystics have highly developed energy centres in the head.

The nadi of Akasha is developed , after the development of Gandahari, the sought after princess. Akasha cannot be attained until that nadi develops in the perineum and ascends the spinal Tree of Life.

All nadis are either developed at birth or can be manifested afterwards. Those who have ascended their vibration sufficiently are able to upload the vibration and subsequent subtle body structures attained in past lives, to subsequent lives. So some are born with akasha.

In an energy body reading the mark of the completion of the Little Work of the Moon is the appearance of silver on the energy body;
*Silver akasha will occur around the energy body heart and may appear like a kundalini serpent wrapped around it or as a silver winged flame
*a silver nadi will run down the length of the arms from shoulder to wrists.
*a silver right thumb will manifest on the magickian at first it is a dull lead gray, subsequent pathworking makes it bright silver.
*silver moon tiny energy centres will begin to satellite important energy centres like the third eye
*silver boots will replace lead boots on the magickian's body
*inside the head a silver dome will manifest through which the magickian can project to the Akashic Records at will and to the Higher Planes of Shamballah
*a silver sphinx angel will appear as HigherSelf/GuardianAngel typically with 4 heads and 4 pairs of upper and lower limbs.

It is said that the mark of the magickian is to display the hermetic colours all the way up to the tip of their fingers in nested layers. This does not occur often. Typically the akashic nadi is dormant or has manifested in the energy centres of the head but not in the phalanges or in the bundles in the limbs which are of course a precursor to that. Inside the limbs a tetrapolar flow can be clairvoyantly seen like 4 coloured wires running through a tube. Akasha is the 5th colour followed by gold at the completion of the Great Work.

GATES
The perineum is the principle gate for energy to enter the human energy body which is like a glove inside the physical body and outside of the physical body in nested layers like Matruska dolls. The gate at the perineum is called the Throne of God and it is here that Kundalini first enters the body to ascend like a firey serpent up the spinal Tree of Life. Another primary gate at the scalp is called the Crown of the Goddess and in time Kundalini will descend through this gate down the back in cold sheets of akashic rain. A secondary gate will manifest on the front of the chest. These gates begin as small holes and expand into an flat plate like energy structure spoked like a wheel. Further gates appear on the spinal energy centres always manifesting on the front of the body, first. Then at the back and then on either flank or side. There will be four gates on each stone.

STONES
Stones are the spheroid energy centre storage areas of the body which include but are not limited to the following subtle energy structures; two vertical chakras aligned upon the spine, a nebulous cloud between the two chakras which in time will becomes a third chakra at the core, and a lower tube connecting the base of the stone to the core called a tan tien in Taoist Alchemy and Traditional Chinese Medicine. An upper tube will manifest , after further development. Gates will appear first on the front of the physical body at the centre or core. There is an os or hole at the base and summit of each stone. Each stone yields a subtle body projected aspect of the magickian which when ripened will project at will from the centre of the stone. This projection is a function of the manifestation of a noble element which is cultivated by the nebulous cloud or core at the centre and the energy in the tan tien.

TAN TIENS
The tan tien is another sheath of a primary flow which is called the River of Enlightenment at the front of the spine and the River of Death at the rear of the Spine. The River of Enlightenment ascends from perineum to crown. The River of Death descends from crown to perineum. The flow between these two rivers becomes a closed loop like circuit conducting electricity on a path when the magickian is tuned in or switched on.

OUROBOROS AND CROSSING THE ABYSS
This is the archetypical ouroboros which is the serpent of kundalini with its tail in its mouth having no beginning and no end. When alpha meets omega then all realms are open to the magickian and there is no abyss. The abyss is the gap ever widening as the energy body lengthens and widens but also ever narrowing in the effort it takes to bridge it . The abyss represents the gap between the magickian and Godhead. It is like the synapse between two neuron ends approaching the gap flings the consciousness to the other side usually. Upon the first trial there may be descension through the downward spiral but this ascends again euphorically.

HYPERCUBE LOCK
When the magickian is tuned out or grounded that path is open or linear and parallel in flow. When the path is closed a spiraling flow will also occur in a double helix like DNA this energy will flow upwards from the front of the spine spiraling to the top of that magickian's Tree of Life and then fall in a spiraling motion returning behind the spine.

When the magickian is in trance this remains in slow undulating perpetual motion. And for this time, the magickian can be at onement termed variously; at Kether , attaining Samadhi, in unio mystica et cetera. Aleister Crowley says that a black cube is found at the base of the abyss. This is correct but incomplete. There is a a pair of cubic revolving energy structures like a hypercube which is silver, white , gold and black. When closed the silver moon and golden sun are locked together like polar ends of a magnet as are the black night and white day. But when open the silver meets white and gold meets black repelling each other as like ends of a magnet do. The body will try to do this intuitively and the more time spent in meditation the easier this becomes until you are writing the program instead of observing it passively.

HOW TO MANIFEST AKASHA
All development including the manifestation of Akasha occurs along a predictable continuum.Begin with daily prayer ,meditation and energy work or in the absence of prayer ;daily righteous contemplation ,meditation and energy work.

Intuitive alchemists will contrive akasha without a deeper understanding of the Pathworking of the Ascension Alchemist but researching these texts is valuable and will broaden one's understanding of the Tree of Life.
