The following text is taken from the Original Teachings of the Golden Dawn, which flourished in Great Britain and France from 1887 to 1901.

            “Thou shalt know that the whole Sphere of Sensation which surroundeth the whole physical body of a man is called “The Magical Mirror of the Universe.” For therein are represented all the occult forces of the Universe projected as on a sphere, convex to the outer, but concave to man. This sphere surroundeth the physical body of a man as the Celestial Heavens do the body of a Star or a Planet, having their forces mirrored in its atmosphere. Therefore its allotment or organization is the copy of that Greater World or Macrocosm. In this “Magical Mirror of the Universe,” therefore, are the Ten Sephiroth projected in the form of the Tree of Life as in a solid sphere - a man’s physical body is within the Ten Sephiroth projected in the sphere.”

            “In the Magical Mirror of the Universe, or the Sphere of Sensation, Man is placed between four pillars of the Tree of Life as projected in a sphere. These keep their place and MOVE NOT, but the Man himself places in his Sphere of Sensation that point of the Zodiac which ascended at the moment of his birth and conception (for the same degree of the Zodiac ascendeth at both, otherwise the birth could not take place). That is to say that at those times the same degree of the Zodiac is ascending in the East of the Heavens of the Star whereon he is incarnated. Thus doth he remain during that incarnation facing that particular point in his sphere of sensation. That is to say, this sphere DOTH NOT REVOLVE about the physical body.”

            In 2015 a team of scientists discovered a tiny but very interesting object. They sent balloons to an altitude of 27 kilometres in order to collect samples of dust and particulate. One of them brought back something unexpected - a tiny metal sphere about the width of a human hair had collided with the surface of the stratosphere sampler connected to the balloon, leaving a minuscule crater. This crater suggests that the sphere had been travelling at high speed and was incoming to Earth from space.
            X-ray analysis of the sphere showed that it was made of titanium with traces of vanadium. Titanium is one of the strongest metals known to man and it also has a high melting point. This led the team to believe that the sphere was fabricated and perhaps of extraterrestrial origin.
            The surface of the sphere was covered in a “fungus-like knitted mat-like covering” and a biological liquid was “oozing from its center.” It is these organic compounds that have baffled the scientists. Should NASA find similar particles in future and establish they are of extraterrestrial origin, the scientific world will be forced to take into account the theory of directed panspermia, or the deliberate spreading of life throughout the universe.  
            Mainstream science and institutions have fought against theories which expound these beliefs but now evidence from meteorites, from samples of bacteria from space as well as observation of space is making resistance more difficult. In 2014 sea plankton was found on the outside of the International Space Station and no one knows how it got there. The notion that humans were genetically engineered is simply too much for conventional researchers to accept. Perhaps when the secrets of DNA are fully unravelled they will discover a distinctive signature message, like a calling card left by the engineers.
            Proving that the Earth is in a constant exchange of matter with the larger cosmos has implications not only in terms of our identity, but potentially also gives us insight into alien viruses which may be important for our group identity, evolution and survival itself.

We note the significance of spheres in the microcosm, just as in the macrocosm.

            Elsewhere on these pages we have examined living orbs and intelligent balls of plasma. The Sun itself is a sphere of plasma. And, scientists are now realizing, our Sun is conscious and intelligent. (See, for example, an article by Robert Schoch MD here ).
            Recently I have read much about ‘spheres and orbs’ in books and magazines, and on History Channel’s UFO Hunters this week (S.3 Ep.10 titled ‘Dark Presence’) they devoted the whole show to this phenomenon. They had to recognize that bright orbs which appeared not only up in the sky, but also right up close and personal with some experiencers – in events that the UFO Hunters are referring to as Close Encounters of the 5th Kind – often generating a feeling of intense love, but occasionally causing terror and fear (hence the title of the program), constitute something totally different from flying saucers.
            UFO investigators have had to admit that the appearance of orbs/spheres is usually not of mechanical origin. Witnesses usually say that the balls are translucent and it is obvious that their light is emanating from the very centre of the sphere itself – there are no signs either of lights being affixed to the exterior of the orbs, or of the light being a reflection of an outside source.
            My guides always urge me to perceive my Overself as a sphere of light above my head, just like the ancient Egyptians often depicted this for themselves (that is our BA). I believe everyone has their own “star” or “Sun” above them. There is also an inner light right inside of each of us (the Ka) but most of has have smothered it with our karmic actions, and the light has usually grown dim.
            I believe we need to strengthen the inner light, remove the wall of division we ourselves have imposed, and reconnect this inner light to the sphere above our heads. By doing so, we may generate a new sphere that surrounds us, which will then be the vehicle that contains our life-force and soul-personality when we die. Without such a vehicle, there will be a separation of soul and spirit at death – they are two separate things, as observed by St Paul. When that division happens, we must wait then for our next incarnation before the two spheres of light can be reunited in a new body.

            Because we live in a three dimensional plane of space and time there is a tendency among spiritual teachers to use terms that imply relative space, such as “As above, so below,” “Going within,” “Reaching the other side,” “Ascending to a higher plane.” Naturally, this form of speech is employed by guides and teachers so that the human mind can grasp and relate to concepts that would otherwise be ineffable. This does not mean that enlightenment is a place or that it is somewhere over our heads. Nor does it mean that your spiritual heart and your soul are compact little things that reside somewhere inside your body. Everything is here and now, it is only our consciousness that has cut itself off from true reality.  
            Since the human mind is so accustomed to translating otherworldly concepts into terms of space, try experimenting with different versions of your perception. Instead of thinking of your soul/overself as being a little thing crammed inside you head or your chest, think of it as a big sphere that surrounds your body. In other words, picture your physical self as being inside your spiritual self, instead of the other way around. Your consciousness fills this overself – in fact it can extend out into the fullness of the universe. This idea is not only metaphysical, it is also part of new research by neuroscientists, who are applying a classic branch of math called algebraic topology in a whole new way.

BRILLIANT MOMENT
Dr. Dirk K.F. Meijer, a professor at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, hypothesizes that consciousness resides in a field surrounding the brain in another dimension. The entire body is a conduit and a collaborator with consciousness as a feedback loop. This implies you are a multidimensional being . Your body isn’t big enough to contain you.
            Scientists admit that what consciousness is, and where it resides, is still only theory to date. In the September 2017 issue of NeuroQuantology, a peer-reviewed journal of neuroscience and quantum physics published a ground-breaking paper that could accelerate science’s understanding of consciousness: “Our brain is not a ‘stand alone’ information processing organ: it acts as a central part of our integral nervous system with recurrent information exchange with the entire organism and the cosmos. In this study, the brain is conceived to be embedded in a holographic structured field that interacts with resonant sensitive structures in the various cell types in our body.” See the entire article here: http://www.yourbrilliantfutureherenow.com/consciousness-doesnt-reside-in-the-brain/

WHAT ARE THE LIMITS?
Should you wish to try a meditation visualizing your consciousness expanding out into space, you will actually find that there are no limits. In this dimension it is only limited by the size of the Cosmos, which may well be infinite, while on the multidimensional level there are no space limitations to begin with.

            White glowing Orbs have been a centrepiece of legend in Japan, Korea and China, and have appeared in the sky in more recent years when significant events have taken place. The ancient three legged crow, called Yatagarasu in Japan, Samjokgo in Korea, and Yangwu in China, dates back as far as 5,000 BC. This crow is often depicted as being inside an Orb and, in China, is associated with the Sun - in it fact originated from what they called a “Child-Sun.”
            Orbs continue to hover around Japan in the modern era, particularly at times of disaster. The incidences of UFO sightings went off the scale after the atomic bombs were dropped at the end of WWII – many (although by no means all) appeared in the form of Orbs. There were numerous reports of white Orb sightings at the time of the 2011 tsunami and Fukushima (see, for example, the photo of four Orbs directly below, taken at that time).
            On 29th July 2015 there were well documented sighting of a cluster of ten White Orbs in the sky over Osaka – see You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx9QC4QWMvU
            Orbs also continue to make appearances in China, especially in the west of the country, such as those Qinghai Plateau during recent years. This phenomenon tells us that we are being observed but, more than that, they act as protective, but not intrusive, Watchers.

Elsewhere on this website we have asserted that the reason we cannot observe civilizations on other planets and moons is that the residents dwell below the surface. This does not always necessarily entail the celestial bodies being hollow, sometimes it just means that the beings and their cities are subterranean.
According to reports posted this week on News.com, Nexus Newsfeed and Unexplained Mysteries.com, our earthly scientists seem to be catching on:

NEWS HEADING
Planetary scientist Alan Stern has suggested that some civilizations may live below a planet's surface.
            Speaking at a recent meeting of the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences, Stern, who is the principal investigator of the New Horizons Pluto mission, put forward one possible explanation for why we have yet to encounter intelligent extraterrestrials.

I have always felt uneasy about the assertion by mainstream science that there is a black hole at the centre of our – or any other – galaxy. My interdimensional guides tell me that life and all material creation revolves around spheres. There is light emanating from the centre of spheres as well as radiating around them. I’ve referred to the works of Jamal S. Shrair elsewhere on these blog pages, and quote a few excerpts below from his recent posting on ‘The Watchers.’ Read the entire article here: https://watchers.news/2017/10/19/super-intense-magnetic-field-at-the-center-of-every-galaxy/
            “What is present at the centre of every galaxy or any larger scale structure is not a super-massive black hole, but an ultra-intense magnetic field. The intensity of magnetic field at that location is so enormous (at least several billion Gauss) and the field intensity is far higher in Spiral galaxies and Quasars. This fact will be confirmed with future progress and when astrophysical facts stop being linked to money and political power.”
            “When the empirical evidence shows that thermonuclear reactions do not take place in the core of the Sun, then that means gravitational collapse also cannot take place in the core of the stars. Consequently, black holes and neutron stars would be mathematical fantasies rather than a physical reality.”

            As we now become more and more aware that there are other life forms in our solar system – above us, below us and around us – it is helpful to understand our Heliosphere’s ‘life pulse.’ Beginning with the Sun at the centre and moving to the edge of its bubble-like formation, way out at the Oort Cloud, this stellar system has its own unique pulse or rhythm, to which we as humans are attuned.
            We are often told to think of our physical reality in terms of cycles, which is fine for the purpose of some instruction, but try for a moment to instead consider life in terms of a pulse or a beat. Your heart contracts and relaxes in an orderly rhythm and the Sun and planets also have their frequencies. In this 3D world of duality, humanity is in harmony with specific vibrations, often represented by the symbol of Yin and Yang. It is usually depicted in black and white and our world is governed by day and night – part of the duality in this zone is a balance of light and darkness. The human organism alternates between sleep and wakefulness. In the longer term we have seasons of the world and also seasons of the Soul – recurring incarnations. In the vastly long ages of the universe we have order followed by chaos. Life pulses in and out.
            It was mentioned in earlier parts of this series about the life of Our Heliosphere that Non Human Intelligent Beings (NHIBs) have always, and continue to, maintain a presence on Earth, though many of them can only do so for limited periods. Part of the issue for visitors at first is attuning to the ‘pulse of life’ that vivifies humanity and the 3D plane of our solar system.
            One of the beings who took part in engineering Homo Sapiens was known to the Indians as Shiva. Notice how he is often depicted as being within a sphere and reaching and pointing out to its edges. In ancient Egypt Akhenaten’s Sun is, conversely, reaching and pointing outwards and away from the central sphere so that all life-forms can receive its rays. These are two aspects of the one process, the giving and receiving of Life and Love. Visualize that your true heart is a sphere within you. Allow it to attune with the Sun.

I am reproducing it here because the author has  clear knowledge about the Ba and Ka, or Soul and Spirit respectively, concurring with my own understanding.

Did the Egyptians know how to transfer consciousness from one entity to another?
In the movie 21 Grams, the idea is presented that upon the moment of death, the human body instantaneously loses exactly 21 grams – supposedly the weight of the soul. Though this is not scientifically proven, there seems to be evidence that our consciousness is indeed a transferable entity – and the ancient Egyptians likely knew exactly how to transfer consciousness, or the soul, from one person to another.

There is a similar aim within DARPA and the Shadow Government’s pricey experiments. The merging of humans and machines is already happening whereupon human consciousness is “uploaded” into AI computers. Mind uploading is expected to be in full force by 2045, but has it been done already, long ago?

Before we examine the ancient history of uploading consciousness, let’s look at a few examples in recent Hollywood history which suggest this is already being done.
