Why has Jacob's ladder seven rungs?

Hi Folks..

Eos; Whenever you see spiritual symbolism,that relates direclty to Divine personal revelation or to direct Communion with the Divine - then that symbolsm is always pertaining to the individuals own energetic body,and means of transcending the physical barriers of life..The symbolism describes the Union itself..

In short - we each contain the Divine spark - known elsewhere,and perhaps most understood,as the phenomena known as Kundalini..Kundalini,is the very enerygy of Creation itself - the Holy Ghost - it is th every thing that makes us Conscius....It resides right now,within us,just awaiting our honest attempt to awaken and commune with it directly...When it is dormant,this living energy,lays coiled in the pelvic floor at the base of the spine...Becasue it lays coiled in this restful manner - it has been given the symbol of the SNAKE - and when we begin to rouse it,it feels somewhat like moving fire (not necassarily unpleasant sensation though) - and so ,the risen form,Kundalini,has been given the symbol of the "fiery serpant" - a DRAGON..

So we each contain this "thing " within us - that is both a gateway to the Divine realms - and is also a "snake" or a "dragon"....The entire spiritual wisdom of thr bible ( and all true spiritual wisdom actuality),is founded firmly on this legitimate and universal Divine energy and th eUnion it brings....But as we see - in the bible - especially in the bible - this universal energy,is greatly misunderstood - inth ebible especialy,it has been purposefully misrepresented,its truth hidden from us - and has even become demonised as an evil or nefarious thing to be avoided - its just ignorance of metaphysical truth and the sybolism involved that made us take this wrong turn in our understanding here ...The snake and the dragon in this philosophy,are not even bad things at all - they are the process that brings us true Divine revealation..

So - Kundalini - lays domant within us all - and at some stage we begin to rouse it - usually spontaneously - though it is best if we try to do this in a Conscious and intended manner....It is an actual energy - a "plasma" - many streams of energy,emotions,desires,thoughts,eventhe physical energy that powers the muscles and body itself - all these subtle sreams,plus a continous interchange of energy,our form and th eoutside world,continaly in flux and energetic interaction - these streams combine within us,becom eunified in full force to produce the Divine essence of Kundalini....The various subtle streams of life energy,come together through "nodes", junction points known as chakras..From its dormant coiled position at the base of the spine - the energy literally uncoils and begins to rise up the body,through the spine itself...It passes through each successive chakra - there are SEVEN major ones that must be activated in unison,to allow this process to unfold..Each major chakra,is directly conected to the bodies physical processes and physical nervous system - such that this is tying together fully,body and mind - as one direct experience of Self - we become "whole" as this process continues...Literally,it ties together,subtle awareness of the subconscious mind,wih this part of "thnking mind" that is now reading,writing posts...It mends the divide in our broken mind,and allows a magikal gatweway to open within...As this happens ,body and mind here,become realised as Soul - eternal Self and eternal nature begins to be realised...

The energy rises,unites in these chakras,travels up the spine,eventually making it al the way to the brain itself - activating the pituatary and pineal glands in unison,opens this gateway within - the narrow gate - that Chirst speaks of that leads to eternal life..Once this gatweway is open,the Soul - mind here - is free to exit the body,these lower realms of existance and Creation,and encounter the higher realms that the physical body precludes us from encountering..Literally,the body is physical insulation against the Soul - and this energy is going to loosen that affect,allow the Soul to rise and commune directly with the Divine....

Seven rungs on Jacobs ladder then - are symols for the seven chakras..Each higher rung,symbolises the journey of Kundalini itself,rising up the spine..The "ladder" allows Jacob to directly commune with the Divine...

Similarly - the bible is full of such Kundalini symbolism - Mosese - raised his staff and turned it into a serpant - and this was how he gained Divine influence....The staff is allegory for his own physical spine - turned that into this serpant - raised Kundalini and entered the Divine communion...

Perhaps most telling -- is the symbolism in the book of Revelations itself...The famous BOOK OF LIFE - that only CHRIST can open....The symbolism here is a bit back to front actually - from the mortal perspective I mean - for we are not yet Christ,but indeed,we are to become Christ for ourselves,by indeed,opening these "seals" on this book of life...

Lets look then - the Book itself - is the HUMAN BODY - for it is here within the body,that we write our lives,literally so....The book,is sealed on the back with seven seals - seven chakras up the spine - and only Christ can open these seals - so from the mortal perspective then - each seal we open here within the body,each chakra so activated,brings us a step closer to our own inner Christhood...Open all seven seals - unify al seven chakras - and we may free the Self fromthis mortal prison,and so approach the Divine...

Whenever we read the bible - or hear Christ speaking about Our Father and the realms above - understand clearly,He is speaking a purely metaphysical universal truth - knowledge of the true Divine,and a means to directly access that for our Self..Now - He gave us two really really big clues about all this - but those who gave us the bible,decided to keep this metaphysical wisdom from us and replaced it instead,with their own truth,own agenda...But essentially - Christ told us plainly - the Fathers Kingdom - was to be found already within us - seek insiide He said,bring forth that which you find there,and allow it to guide you always He said...This is a Divine Presence - the Holy Ghost - and its a physical manifestation, - it is Kundalini - one and the same phenomena...

The second crucial thing He told us - was the nature of reality and the process of Creation itself...Literally - the Father is a MIND that causes the external world to form....Christs teaching is aimed then,at taking this mortal mind and bringing it into union,with that greater Self and beyond,right back to the Source of All - Our Father...Always,He is speaking from that Divine perspective as the Source itself,aiming to to give us this Self realisation also...This is why He said - Iam the Way and the only Way - none come to the Father excpet through Me..We must seek always He said,this inner guide,for only it can reveal such truths...The snake and the dragon - aree poorly misunderstood in the bible - as are a lot of things,sadly - they are not the "evil" thing that we are taught that they are - indeed,I will tell you clearly - the snake in Eden - gave to mankind,the exact same knowldge that Christ came to give !!

Think about it honestly - without any religious filters in place here....The snake in eden - gave us knowldge of all good and evil - knowldge that made us "know the things god knows"....See then - the snake is Kundalini - An Angel approached mankind,gave us knowldhge of our own inherant Divine spark,Wisdom to become like "god".....The "god" - yahweh - got very mad and jealous about this,so it expelled us formthis first Paradise existance....Note here - bible misconception - taught errors - we are not expelled for being disobediant - No no no... Despite what the church teaches here - mankind is expelled not for disobediance at all - but to prevent us from taking "other fruit" - yes..?..

We are told this "god" in angry,and kicks us out of Eden,before they take this other fruit - from the tree of Life - and become like us - IMMORTAL !!!

Thats crucial to understand - An angel gave mankind Divine Wisdom about the truth of our inherant nature - opened our eyes to show us,we are like gods - and the head "god" then gets so jealous of this,he kicks us out,and prevents us from learning how to use that knowldge to realise our ETERNAL NATURE.....

But look - along comes Christ millenia later - and HE too,has come to directly give us this same knowldge - same wisdom that the snake gave....He too,tells us identical truths - a Divine spark resides within you right now - you are already god,but do not realise it yet...Find this within,He said,allow it,bring it forth here in the world - become like Me HE said,for I and the Father are One....

Viewed from this metaphysical,universal aspect - after all,He is the very WORD of Creation itself - and whenevr He teaches,it is from that eternal perspective of Self - viewed in this manner,that which He ays,takes on a whole new and much more significant meaning....The bible is full of such metaphysical symbolism - but sadly,it is poorly understood by the bible authors - who are not even the disciples themselves or anybody who knew Christ directly of course as the bible we have is like four hundred years after the events actaully happened - and very sadly,inthat time the church authority itself,has set about hiding and eradicating this truth,for rather obvious reasons - at least,it becmes obvius once the truth itself is seen clearly....

Understand then --- if and when we each awaken this Presence within fo r our self,inth emanner Christ tauht - rouse this Kundalini and allow the process to unfold in a genuine and saught after manner - when that happens,th Holy Ghost appears,its Presenc ebecmes very tangeable indeed - then what use now for a priest..?..Think about it........

What use for a priest..?..church or religion..??...What use for any external influence,rabbi or guru..???...Surely - to follow such an Other - and to folow them closely devoutly - is in fact to forego the inner communion - the legitimate Divintiy will be lost - Divine truth of Self - will be missed - replaced with this "truth from another" that is not legitimate..Priest rabbi chruch religon - can only lead you astray He said - damn the Pharisees (religious teachers and thier temple tradition),who neither know truth nor allow you others to have it either - He was very clear..

The guide is found within He said - bring it forth now - this is the Holy Ghost that He promises - this is the physical process of Kundalini awakening - one and the same phenomnea...Found and accessed He said,through a Silent empty mind (for this is how my Father first knows Himself) - into this void and empty Silence,the Diivine Presence begins to stir..Thus the Kingdom is within us right now,yet it goes unnoticed..Kundlaini and the chakras,are the physical means to start this process of direct Communion - whenever we see sets of seven symbols,it will always represent this universal metaphysical truth to Creation itself and the Divne "blueprint" if you will,for the perfect Human Being....As He said,always,for those with ears to hear....

Seven is an important number in general. It's an archetype, much like the number three is. As for its specific meaning, the only thing I can think of at the moment is that there's traditionally seven Archangels in Christianity. For anything deeper than that, I would have to look up occult meanings and I'm not exactly sober at the moment.
