3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of the Gods, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
The speech delivered by the Spirit identifies this center with the throat: the channel of speech. The Spirit explains that the speech comes from “the seven spirits of the Gods and the seven stars,” which are the seven chakras acting in unison with the Divine Will, teaching enlightenment.
3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before my god.
The Spirit acknowledges that this center has good deeds, a name, is alive, and only a few aspects of its activities are “defiled.” Nevertheless, it is dead to the real truth and is imperfect.
3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
This chakra is charged keep it’s present state of purity and remove impurity. Removing impurity is what is meant when Yeshua says, “Repent”.
3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
The pure energies of the Throat Chakra contribute to the spiritual consciousness. This is what Yeshua means when he says “they shall walk with me in white”.
3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
The Spirit encourages this center to strengthen itself because it is closer to death than it realizes. If it strengthens itself spiritually, then it will be clothed in white raiment, its name will not be blotted out of the Book of Life, and the Spirit will confess its name “before my Father and his angels.” The words of our mouths, the thoughts of our minds, and the feelings of our hearts need to be purified of self-aggrandizement, self-glorification, and self-exaltation. They must be channels of the gods' words, thoughts, and feelings flowing through us. The throat center is the projector of words, and words can heal or harm. It is also the center for will. This center, acting in unison with Divine Will, can bring all the centers to a higher vibration, a higher consciousness.
3:6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
As before mentioned, when a person “has the ear”, it means they know how to interpret allegory and parable.
3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
Only the spiritual part of our being can allow the spiritual process to proceed. This is considered to be one of the most holy centers in the human body. It is the place of “the mount of the gods,” according to Cayce. If we enliven this center with the Spirit and spiritual intentions, then we draw all the lower centers up to this high place and unite them with the Spirit of the Gods.
3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
The open door that no man can shut refers to the nature of the energy of this chakra. It is the source of spiritual energy for the entire chakra system. At this stage in spiritual development, it is not very powerful, but it is very pure. This purity is symbolized by Yeshua when he says that this chakra has, “kept his word and not denied his name”.
3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Yeshua making the “synagogue of Satan come and worship before thy feet” means that, as the spiritual process continues, all impure energies will be made pure and brought to this chakra to contribute to the entire energy system.
3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
The “hour of temptation” refers to the battle between the higher and lower nature. This battle will not affect the energies of this chakra, as it does all the other chakras.
3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
This chakra is charged to maintain its purity and continue dominating the psyche\energy system.
3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my god, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my god, and the name of the city of my god, which is New Jerusalem, which cometh down out of the heavens from my god: and I will write upon him my new name.
The Spirit acknowledges the works of this center, saying that it is has kept his word and not denied his name. This center knows the truth of its spiritual nature and despite how weak it has become from the material struggles, it retains the truth of its real nature and purpose for life. This is the only center that the Spirit finds no fault with. There is nothing this center has to do except continue to hold onto its truth. Therefore, the Spirit promises to draw all the cells of the body before it and make them bow to its truth. It also promises to keep this center from the temptation that has and is coming to the rest of the body: to test the body’s true desires, whether they are spiritual or strictly material and self-centered.
3:13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
This passage means that the individual needs to be able to understand allegory and parable.
3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of the gods;
3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.
Finally, the Spirit arrives at the highest center in the body. The aspect of our spiritual self that is in this center is “the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the Beginning of the creation of the gods.” This is the master gland of the body. But the Spirit is upset with this center because it is “neither cold nor hot.” Because it is lukewarm about the spiritualization process, the Spirit is ready to “spit you out of my mouth.”
3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Amazingly, this center has no redeeming qualities and no virtue to acknowledge. The Spirit gives none. This center is stagnant and lukewarm, contributing nothing to the overall spiritualization of the body. The Spirit therefore warns it to get truth forged in the fires of the Spirit, white garments of purity that its nakedness will be clothed, and eye salve to anoint its eyes to see the real truth.
3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
However, in a backhanded way, the Spirit acknowledges its love for this center.
3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Anyone that perceives the presence of the Divine Spirit, may welcome Him and remain in eternal union with him. This is what the “Spiritual Consciousness” and “Divine Consciousness” is. The Third Eye is the chakra of perception.
3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
If this center will rise up and conquer, then “I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I myself conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.”
3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
A person “having the ear” means that the individual is able to understand allegory and parable and interpret it correctly. The statements that the Spirit makes to the Seven Churches are descriptions of what is wrong with the individual's psyche that is causing them to be unable to experience Divine Consciousness and how to fix the problem.
