WHAT ARE THE TEN BODIES?
You can visualize your various bodies as layers of clothing, the physical body being the overcoat you wear for a lifetime. We know we have a physical body, we can see it, touch it, and feel it. We also have other bodies that are equally real, if not more so.
The truth is that the human body is made up of ten bodies: the Physical Body, 3 Mental Bodies, and 6 Energy Bodies.
The 11th Embodiment -when all 10 Bodies are under your direction - produces a pure state of consciousness when you have the ability to see all events as God's Play and recognize the God in all.
