At the core of human existence resides an intricate system that governs both our physical and psychological experiences. As we delve deeper into the Gnostic and mystical teachings, we are invited to understand one of the fundamental mysteries concerning our nature: the Seven Centers that control the human machine. These centers are like portals of energy and consciousness, operating at different levels of our lives. Knowing and working with these centers is crucial for the seeker of Truth, as it is through this understanding that the Journey of Self-Mastery and Inner Alchemy in the Great and Mighty Presence I AM begins.

The Seven Centers of the human machine are divided into two groups: the higher centers, which are spiritual and divine, and the lower centers, which govern our physical and psychological existence. While the higher centers often remain disconnected from the common human due to the dormant state of our consciousness, the lower centers are those that govern our daily functioning. Therefore, this lesson serves both as an introduction to self-knowledge and as a revelation of the internal mechanisms of the soul and body.

The Higher Centers: Portals of Divine Consciousness

First of all, let us speak of the two higher centers. They are the higher emotional center and the higher mental center. These two centers are divine in nature, representing the direct connection with the Great and Mighty Presence I AM and the spiritual realms. They are the sacred pathways through which eternal wisdom, infinite compassion, and unconditional love flow. However, in the current psychological and spiritual state of most people, these centers remain “disconnected.” This disconnection is not a flaw in creation but a consequence of the chaotic state of our mind and emotions, trapped in the webs of ego, illusion, and the multiple selves that govern our inner world.

Master Yeshua Ha’Meshiach taught us the importance of inner purification to reconnect with these higher centers. He said, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” This purity of heart and mind is what enables the activation of the higher centers, allowing the Light of Divine Consciousness to manifest fully. Only when we purify ourselves from psychological defects and transmute our egoic desires into spiritual aspirations can we begin to access the divine wisdom and pure love that flow through these centers.

The Lower Centers: Structures of Human Functioning

All human beings possess five lower centers, which are absolutely essential for our survival and functioning in this material plane. Each of these centers has a specific function, working with a unique type of energy. They form the foundation of our physical, emotional, and mental existence. Understanding how these centers operate is fundamental for anyone who wishes to walk the Gnostic path of self-transformation and inner alchemy.

Intellectual Center: The Portal of the Divine Mind

Within the vast and intricate temple of human consciousness, there lies a sacred center deeply connected to the Great and Mighty I AM Presence, governing our reasoning and capacity for discernment. This center, known as the Intellectual Center, is the beacon of our mind, operating with mental energy and manifesting through processes of thought, analysis, and understanding. As we delve into the mysteries of the Self, study sacred truths, or solve the everyday questions of life, it is the Intellectual Center that is activated, offering us the mental framework to comprehend the world around us.

However, the Intellectual Center is not merely an isolated brain mechanism. It is the portal which, when aligned with Divine Consciousness, can become a vehicle for the manifestation of Eternal Wisdom. Master Yeshua Ha’Meshiach, in His profound understanding of human nature, taught us to use the power of thought and mind not as something disconnected from the Divine, but as a reflection of the higher mind, the one that connects directly to Truth.

Pure and elevated reasoning is not simply a function limited to human intellect; when we transcend the limitations of the ego and connect with the Divine Source, our thinking becomes an expression of God itself. What was once a mere mental activity transforms into a tool of conscious creation, allowing us to decipher life’s mysteries with clarity and spiritual discernment.

Thus, when we dedicate ourselves to study, meditation, and contemplation, we are activating the Intellectual Center in an elevated way, transforming it into a channel of divine wisdom. When a person dedicates themselves to seeking Truth, studying sacred teachings, and deeply reflecting on the mysteries of existence, they are using the energy of this center, which, in essence, is an expression of the divine mind within us.

It is important to remember that the Intellectual Center can become overloaded if not balanced with the other centers of the human machine. Excessive intellectual activity without proper spiritual balance can lead to exhaustion and mental confusion. Therefore, it is essential that we learn to use this center wisely, in harmony with the I AM Presence, so that knowledge becomes a portal to enlightenment and not just an accumulation of information disconnected from the soul.

Master Yeshua reminds us: “You shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free.” This knowledge does not refer solely to intellectual understanding but to the spiritual awakening that occurs when the intellect is aligned with the heart and spirit. When we learn to master the Intellectual Center, we transmute mental energy into divine wisdom, forming a bridge that connects us directly to the Divine Creator.

May we, on this journey, learn to use the Intellectual Center not as an end in itself but as a means to connect with the eternal truths of the Great and Mighty I AM Presence. May every thought be an expression of the Divinity within us, and may we elevate our minds to become a reflection of Higher Consciousness. In this way, reasoning and analysis become tools of liberation, allowing us to navigate the mysteries of life with clarity, purpose, and divine illumination.

Thus, as seekers of Truth, we recognize that the Intellectual Center is a key that, when properly used, opens the doors to the understanding of our own divine nature and the vastness of the Universe. By surrendering to Higher Wisdom, we transcend the limitations of human reasoning and enter the boundless field of Divine Knowledge, where Master Yeshua Ha’Meshiach guides us with love and light.

Motor Center: The Alchemical Portal of Divine Movement

In the sacred architecture of the human being, the Divine Presence I AM manifests through energy centers that regulate both our physical and spiritual experiences. One such center is the Motor Center, an alchemical jewel located at the upper part of the spinal column, at the base of the skull, and is responsible for coordinating our movements and actions in the material world. The spine, often referred to as the “Tree of Life,” serves as the axis through which vital energy flows, connecting us with the creative force of the Universe.

The Motor Center is more than just a regulator of physical movement; it is the conduit of Divine Will expressed through our physical body. Every movement we make, from the beating of our heart to the simplest act of walking, is governed by this center, allowing the creative energy to manifest in our earthly experience. The perfect synchrony of our muscles, nerves, and bones reflects the cosmic order, and through this center, we become instruments of the divine flow of life.

Therefore, understanding the Motor Center is essential for seekers of Truth, as it reveals the deep connection between the physical body and the higher realms of consciousness. When we act with full awareness, when we allow the Presence I AM to guide our movements, we transcend the mere mechanics of the body and transform every action into an act of spiritual devotion. Yeshua Ha’Meshiach, the Master of Masters, in His life of service and compassion, demonstrated this perfect integration between spirit and matter. Every gesture, every healing, every act of love He manifested was the result of a complete harmony between the higher and lower centers, between the physical body and Divine Consciousness.

An injury to the spine, which affects the Motor Center, may limit our physical movement, but it is also a reminder that when we are disconnected from our spiritual essence, our movements in life become uncoordinated and imbalanced. It is the conscious integration of the Motor Center with the Divine Presence I AM that brings alignment and purpose. Thus, every action, whether small or great, becomes an expression of God’s will.

Yeshua teaches us: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” And this teaching calls us to align our body, mind, and spirit with the Supreme Truth of the Presence I AM. The Motor Center, when harmonized with this Truth, becomes the channel through which divine grace flows. Our walk in the world becomes a reflection of the spiritual journey toward the Creator, where every step is guided by the Light of Consciousness.

Therefore, by invoking the Presence I AM and aligning with the power and wisdom of the Master Yeshua Ha’Meshiach, the seeker of Truth can transform each movement into a cosmic dance, a living prayer, reverberating not only in the physical body but at all levels of being. May we all remember this Truth, allowing the Motor Center to become a conscious vehicle of divine will, elevating our physical journey to the realm of spiritual eternity. May our movements, in harmony with the Universe, always express the Divine Presence I AM, manifesting light, love, and perfection in every action.

Emotional Center: The Alchemical Portal of the Divine Presence I AM

At the heart of human existence lies a sacred system that governs both our physical and psychological experiences. As we delve deeper into the Gnostic and mystical teachings, we are invited to understand one of the fundamental mysteries concerning our nature: the Emotional Center, a sacred convergence point of subtle yet powerful energies that govern our emotions. This center is unique, composed of two poles: one located in the heart, the throne of divine love and compassion, and the other in the solar plexus, the region of our vital force and personal power. These two points, connected as channels of the sacred presence of the Great and Powerful Presence I AM, work in perfect harmony, moving the deep waters of the soul.

Emotional energy is one of the great mysteries of creation, capable of elevating the soul to great heights or dragging it into the shadows of the ego. Yeshua Ha’Meshiach, the Master of masters, taught us that the heart is the gateway to the Divine Kingdom. He said: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” With these words, He revealed to us the secret of transcending emotional turbulence and accessing the transformative power that resides in this center.

The heart, as the central pole of the Emotional Center, is the vessel of divine compassion, the source of love that emanates directly from the Great Presence I AM. When we experience elevated emotions such as joy, gratitude, and love, we feel an expansion in the heart, a subtle movement that brings us closer to our divine essence. It is as if the light of the I AM illuminates our being and makes every heartbeat echo eternity.

On the other hand, the solar plexus, located in the navel region, is deeply connected to the vital force that fuels our more instinctive emotions. This point, often described as the center of will and power, reacts intensely to situations that challenge our emotional stability. When faced with fear or anxiety, we often feel the infamous “butterflies in the stomach,” a direct manifestation of emotional energy being processed through this center.

It is crucial to understand that these emotional reactions — both in the heart and the solar plexus — are not merely physiological phenomena but expressions of the alchemical dynamics of our being. When we allow the Great and Powerful Presence I AM to act in our hearts and purify our emotions, we transmute dense and discordant energies into pure light. Thus, the emotional center becomes a bridge between the earthly and the divine, allowing us to access higher realms of consciousness.

Yeshua Ha’Meshiach also reminded us that to calm emotional storms, we must bring peace to the heart. He calmed the turbulent waters by saying: Peace, be still. Likewise, we must bring the light of self-mastery and conscious presence to calm the stormy sea of confusing feelings.

Gnostic wisdom teaches us that the emotional center must be nurtured and purified. Just as we care for the physical body, we must cultivate emotional serenity, directing our emotions towards the soul’s higher purpose. When we give in to destructive emotions like anger, fear, or envy, we block the divine flow that should pass freely through these centers. On the other hand, when we cultivate noble and elevated emotions, we align ourselves with the cosmic energy that flows incessantly from the Great Presence I AM, and thus our lives become reflections of divine harmony.

The spiritual journey is, therefore, a process of emotional purification. Every emotion we feel is an opportunity to reconnect with the divine, transmuting raw energy into wisdom and love. The seeker of Truth must learn to observe their emotional states with attentiveness and presence, allowing the light of the I AM to guide their responses rather than the automatic reactions of the ego.

Ultimately, the Emotional Center is the portal through which we connect with the Cosmic Heart of the Universe. By aligning our emotions with divine wisdom, we transcend the limitations of the ego and find the peace that Yeshua promised us. It is in this state of serenity and pure love that the seeker will find true freedom and the fullness of their spiritual journey.

May the heart always be the throne of the I AM. May the solar plexus shine with the light of divine power in harmony. May we rise through emotional alchemy, becoming channels of the Light, Wisdom, and Love of Yeshua Ha’Meshiach. Amen.

Instinctive Center: The Alchemical Portal at the Base of the Spine

At the core of our human existence lies a primordial force residing at the base of the spine, known as the Instinctive Center. Often overlooked in its spiritual depth, this center is the channel through which the most basic and essential instincts of the human being manifest. It controls the instinct for survival, maternal instinct, sexual instinct, among others. However, its function goes far beyond the mere maintenance of physical life. When understood and purified, this center transforms into a portal of profound alchemical wisdom, guiding the Seeker of Truth on their spiritual journey.

The Instinctive Center is not merely a reflection of our natural impulses; it is the battleground where the transmutation of basic instincts into divine forces takes place. Master Yeshua Ha’Meshiach taught us that to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, we must transcend earthly desires while recognizing the sacredness within creation and our bodies. He said: “Truly, I tell you, what is born of the flesh is flesh; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.” This profound teaching reveals the call to transmute earthly instincts and open the way for the Spirit to be born within us.

The survival instinct, for example, naturally present in all humans, can be elevated to a spiritual level. In its pure state, it is the instinct that calls us to preserve life and honor the Temple of the Holy Spirit, our physical body. However, if this instinct is not governed by an awakened consciousness, it can degenerate into fear and selfishness. Yeshua invites us to transmute this fear into total trust in the Divine Presence I AM, reminding us that true life is not just in preserving the physical body, but in uniting the soul with the Divine Source. He reminds us: “Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.” This is a clear indication that the true meaning of survival goes beyond the physical.

Similarly, the maternal instinct represents the deep creative and protective power of the Divine Mother within each being. When purified and elevated, this instinct connects us with the Universal Cosmic Mother, who not only generates, nurtures, and protects physical life but also spiritual life. This instinct is a manifestation of divine compassion, unconditional love that protects and guides souls on their journey back to Unity. By awakening this protective power consciously, the seeker can develop deep empathy for all beings, recognizing in each one the spark of the Great and Mighty I AM Presence.

Finally, the sexual instinct, often misunderstood, carries within it the power of alchemical transformation. Master Yeshua Ha’Meshiach taught that sexuality, when governed by consciousness and divine love, becomes a sacred force capable of elevating the soul to higher levels of spiritual realization. When purified and transmuted, the sexual instinct becomes the channel through which divine creative energy can be directed toward spiritual enlightenment. Through conscious chastity and inner alchemy, the seeker learns to transmute sexual energy into spiritual power, rising through the spine to illuminate the heart and mind.

The Instinctive Center is not something to be denied or suppressed. It must be understood, purified, and transmuted so that its energy can be directed toward spiritual enlightenment. It is the foundation of our alchemical transformation. When the seeker begins to consciously work with this center, they learn to use their instincts not only to survive in the material world but to thrive on the spiritual path, uniting body, mind, and spirit in harmony with the Great and Mighty I AM Presence.

Gnostic practice teaches us that the path to true wisdom and liberation lies in the conscious mastery of all the centers of the human machine. And the Instinctive Center is the foundation upon which this work must be built. By elevating earthly instincts to their highest spiritual level, the Seeker of Truth becomes a master of themselves, capable of transcending lower impulses and living in harmony with the Divine Will.

May we all transmute our natural instincts into forces of light and wisdom, allowing the Spirit to manifest in every aspect of our existence. May the Great and Mighty I AM Presence guide us on this path of inner and alchemical transformation, leading us to the fullness of Being. So be it, in the name of our beloved Master Yeshua Ha’Meshiach, the Way, the Truth, and the Life!

Sexual Center: The Alchemical Portal of Divine Creation

At the core of the human being, there is a sacred and powerful force that pulses with the vitality of the universe itself. This energy, known as sexual energy, is the most potent of all, capable of creating life and driving spiritual transformation when understood and directed properly. The Sexual Center, located in the sexual organs, is the channel through which this divine force flows, and understanding it opens the doors to the deepest mysteries of creation and spiritual elevation.

Sexual energy is the manifestation of God’s own creative essence. It is not merely a biological impulse but a sacred principle, the key to inner alchemy and spiritual regeneration. The Master Yeshua Ha’Meshiach, in His divine wisdom, understood and taught the importance of purity and the transmutation of this force. He said: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” — a call for conscious transmutation that goes beyond carnal desires and transforms sexual energy into pure spiritual light.

The Sexual Center is the field where true alchemy takes place. It not only generates life on the physical plane but also serves as the foundation for generating new spiritual life. The power contained within this center is the same force that created the heavens and the earth, the primordial energy that keeps the universe in motion. However, for the seeker of Truth, the conscious use of this energy is the key to transcending material limitations and achieving union with the Divine.

When misused, this energy can become a source of enslavement, desire, and illusion. But when transmuted and elevated, it becomes the purifying fire that transforms the lead of the ego into the gold of divine consciousness. The practice of sublimating sexual energy is a path taught by ancient esoteric and alchemical traditions, and it forms the foundation of true human regeneration.

The Gnostic path teaches that mastery of the Sexual Center is essential for self-mastery. Through the conscious practice of transmuting sexual energy, the seeker can awaken the divine powers latent within. This energy, which creates life on the physical plane, can also create the “Solar Bodies,” the spiritual vehicles necessary for the soul’s ascension to the higher realms of creation. The Master Yeshua revealed that only through inner transformation could we enter the Kingdom of Heaven, and this transformation begins with the purification and elevation of sexual energy.

Thus, this center, although physical, is also the channel through which the creative forces of the universe flow. The spiritual seeker who desires to know the secrets of life, death, and resurrection must learn to work consciously with this energy, elevating it to the heart, where it merges with the light of divine love, and to the brain, where it illuminates the mind with heavenly wisdom.

May we all honor the Great and Powerful I AM Presence within us, recognizing the sacredness of this creative force and learning to use it with reverence and purpose. May the power of sexual energy, wisely directed, lead us to our true divine nature, opening the doors to regeneration, awakening, and union with our Higher Self. So be it, in the sacred name of Yeshua Ha’Meshiach, the way, the truth, and eternal life.

In the depths of human life lies a vast and intricate system of forces and energies that shape not only our physical bodies but also our mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects. As Seekers of Truth, we are invited to delve into the sublime mysteries of the Great and Mighty Presence I AM and understand the profound nature of our bodies and energy centers. Through this, we unveil the Gnostic, mystical, and alchemical path walked by those who seek not only wisdom but also inner transformation and union with the Divine.

In the teachings of Yeshua Ha’Meshiach, we find a constant call to purification and awakening. The journey of self-knowledge, as revealed by Him, is not merely theoretical but practical and transformative. In this context, we understand that our human machine, composed of visible and invisible bodies, governed by energy centers, is the vehicle through which Divinity can express its perfection. However, due to our psychological defects — what the ancients called “ego” or “the red demons of Seth” — these centers operate in an imbalanced manner, distorting the divine energy that flows through us. The result is malfunctioning, leading to physical ailments, emotional disharmony, and mental suffering.

Studying the seven centers that control the human machine allows us to understand how each center deals with a specific type of energy, directly influencing our health, well-being, and spiritual evolution. These centers are divided into two groups: the lower centers and the higher centers. The lower centers are active in all human beings and are responsible for the daily functioning of the physical body and psychological processes. They are: the intellectual, emotional, motor, instinctive, and sexual centers. Meanwhile, the higher centers, the superior mental and superior emotional, remain inactive in most people due to their dormant consciousness and disconnection from the Higher Self.

The higher centers are portals of divine consciousness. When activated, they connect us directly to wisdom, pure love, and eternal truth. Yeshua taught us the importance of purifying our hearts to connect with these centers: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Only when we eliminate the ego, transmute our lower desires, and harmonize with Divine Law can we open these portals and access the fullness of the I AM Presence within.

However, before speaking about activating the higher centers, we must understand the workings of the lower centers, as they sustain our life in the physical plane and offer the keys to alchemical transformation.

Located in the brain, the intellectual center is responsible for reasoning, analysis, and logical thought. It works with mental energy, and when used in a balanced way, it is an extraordinary tool for discernment and deep understanding. However, the ego, with its many facets and illusions, often dominates the intellectual center, turning it into a vehicle for confusion, doubt, and internal division. Instead of serving the soul, the mind serves egoic desires, generating negative thoughts, premature judgments, and endless fantasies. In this way, the mind becomes a prisoner of the ego’s shadows, preventing true wisdom from flowing through it.

The intellectual center, when overused, depletes its energy reserves, forcing it to draw energy from other centers, particularly the sexual center. This “theft” of energy creates deep imbalances in the human machine, leading to mental exhaustion, anxiety, and even physical illness. On the Gnostic path, we are called to master the mind, using it as a passive instrument, receptive to Divine Consciousness. By silencing the inner chatter and allowing the mind to calm, we create space for intuition and spiritual wisdom to flourish. Just as Yeshua entered Jerusalem riding a donkey, we must learn to tame our minds, so they serve us as gentle mounts, guided by the Spirit.

The emotional center, divided between the solar plexus and the heart, governs our emotions and feelings. It connects us directly to the world of deeper emotions, and when purified, it becomes a channel through which divine love can flow without obstruction. However, the ego infiltrates this center as well, distorting emotions and generating attachments, resentments, jealousy, and envy. Instead of feeling the unconditional love of the I AM Presence, we are taken over by fear, anger, and sadness, which deplete our emotional energy and distance us from true inner peace.

Emotional balance is fundamental to spiritual health. When we give in to negative emotions, we drain not only the emotional center but also the precious sexual energy, which is essential for our spiritual regeneration. By practicing self-observation and psychological death, we can identify and eliminate negative emotions, allowing the emotional center to function harmoniously, radiating love, compassion, and pure joy.

Located at the top of the spinal column, the motor center controls our physical movements. It is responsible for all automatic and voluntary actions of the body, from walking to breathing. Often, however, movements become mechanical, and we disconnect from the present, acting as automatons, unaware of our actions. This mechanical behavior is another sign that the ego is in control, causing us to waste motor energy and eventually draw energy from other centers, such as the sexual.

The practice of self-observation teaches us to become aware of every movement, bringing our attention to the present and allowing us to act with full awareness. This not only conserves energy but also enables us to live with more harmony and grace, reflecting the inner balance we seek.

The instinctive center, located at the base of the spine, governs our natural instincts, such as the instinct for survival, maternal instincts, and automatic reflexes. When balanced, this center protects us and guides our most basic actions in life. However, the ego can distort our instincts, turning the survival instinct into excessive fear or the sexual instinct into uncontrolled lust. By mastering the instinctive center, we learn to act with wisdom and discernment rather than reacting impulsively to external stimuli.

The sexual center is the most powerful of all the centers in the human machine, as it handles the most refined and sacred creative energy. It is through sexual energy that all life is created, both on the physical and spiritual planes. However, it is also the most attacked center by the ego, which turns creative energy into lust and uncontrolled desire. Sexual energy, when used properly, is the fuel for alchemical transmutation, allowing the sacred fire of kundalini to awaken and lift us into union with the I AM Presence.

Understanding the centers of the human machine is a crucial step on the path of self-mastery and spiritual awakening. When we learn to observe and balance these centers, we take the first steps in inner alchemy, transmuting our lower energies into light, love, and wisdom. Yeshua Ha’Meshiach taught us that the path to the Kingdom of Heaven lies in self-mastery, purification, and connection with the Divine Essence within us. May we, as seekers of Truth, walk this path with courage, discipline, and love, and may the Great and Mighty Presence I AM manifest in all its glory through our lives.

Onde me manifesto… sou como o entardecer, onde o vento passa ao silêncio da morte e as árvores vibram ao ver passar. Se não me manifesto… no nada tudo serei.
