Noah’s Ark or the third human chakra
(GEN. 6TH, 7TH, 8TH AND 9TH Chapters)
The story of Noah is a real problem, if taken literally. How could a structure three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits in breadth and thirty cubits high (a cubit being about eighteen inches long) contain all the species of animals, male and female, one pair of the unclean and up to seven pairs of the clean animals, plus Noah and his family? Food and provisions are not even mentioned here for the one hundred and fifty days during which the water prevailed and Noah was in the Ark.
It is clear that some Mystical meaning was intended to be conveyed in this account rather than any literal acceptance of the personae mentioned.
Noah found favor with God because he was a devoted and righteous character. Only to such qualities of Faith and Devotion did the Spirit of Jehovah, the Sound Current Energy appear and save them from the downward current of destruction. Thus the reward of Jehovah to the faithful ones was upward progress instead of further accumulation of downward evil tendencies of the mind and the senses.
The waters of the flood mentioned in the text, are not only physical but also psychic and emotional energy floods of the watery powers of the creative energy in Nature and in man. And creation emerged out of this water. The root of life’s energies was bestowed in the power of generation of all vegetation, beasts and humans.
This observation gave rise to the Fallic Worship of old because all their wealth of flocks, grains, and offspring depended on this gift to mankind. This external evidence of pleasure and possessions became a snare and led man to deterioration. The higher qualities were subordinated to this drive and impulse of sense satisfaction to its limits. This was the evil and the destruction of soul qualities in man.
There are records of “The Flood” in various Sacred Texts. Colonel James Churchward, the noted archeologist, spent many years in tracing such records from very old tablets found in India.
His archeological research was profound and thorough. He records two such floods, based upon this research. One was the sinking of the Continent of Mu in the Pacific Ocean, and the other was the sinking of Atlantis in the Atlantic Ocean, at a much later date.
All the fountains of the great deep broken up and the windows of heaven were opened” (GEN. 7 1
From a physical and historical standpoint, Col. Churchward explains this in his records by the statement
“The island of Mu went down in flames and water. The flames were caused by the breaking through of the gas pressure from its deeper strata of three layers. When it reached the top layer, it literally blew the crust of the earth off by violent explosions and flames which shot this vacuum of space of the gaseous caverns, rushed the sea, when the volcanic action had subsided. The gaseous layers and caverns were literally “fountains of the deep”.
External history and internal events are combined here, as records, and it is hard to say where one begins and the other ends. That Noah, his family, and a few of his livestock could have been carried over for one hundred and fifty days in a structure like The Ark, is possible. But that this structure could hold all the species of animals in creation, is not plausible. Then it is quite plain that this record has an inner Mystic meaning.
The Great Floods in this physical world were vast but it is not yet established as to exactly how much of the earth was inundated at one time. Animals to inhabit the earth, could have been created after the flood, the same as before.
