Christ as Body Corporate
Christ can be seen as a corporate body system. In addition to His body, He is in union with the female church. The union of male and female represents the image of God. Male Christians are incorporated within the body of Christ, while female Christians are contained within the church of Christ. Women in the church hold significant importance.
Jesus is the head of the church, and the church is considered Christ’s bride. I believe that the body of Christ, consisting of male Christians, and the bride of Christ, comprising female Christians, are distinct entities.
An intriguing parallel can be drawn between Jesus and His 12 apostles and the human brain with its 12 cranial nerves. Just as the apostles operate under the direct authority of Christ, the head of the Church, the cranial nerves function under the control of the brain, which governs the body.
In Eastern philosophy, there are parallels between energy systems and the church of Christ. The seven main churches correspond to the lower chakras, which are subordinate to the highest chakra, symbolizing the seven churches representing different body parts of the bride’s body.
My belief is based on personal experiences with chakra awakening. However, I find the pursuit of complete chakra awakening to be questionable, as it requires a significant amount of time and energy with little apparent benefit. The practice is demanding and has not necessarily led to the development of godly or saintly individuals, as observed in the long history of gurus in India.
In conclusion, I believe that pursuing chakra awakening may not lead to the desired spiritual growth and may be a dead-end path.
