Taurus 93correspondences in the seven centres along the vertebral
column.
There are seven other centres above the neck (the
portion of body ruled by Taurus) which bear a direct
correspondence and relationship on the Solar-Cosmic
level (second bridge) with the seven stars of the
constellation of Pleiades. The Guru establishes a direct link
between these centres of the disciple and the stars of that
constellation. This link is established through Shamballa,
via the Hierarchy of the seven Masters with their a-shrams.
Pleiades feeds the disciple with the spiritual foods secreted
through the glands of that region. In the normal man, these
glands (the pineal, pituitary, etc.) do not serve any definite
purpose. This is because they are not linked up. This
linking is done through thought, attitude and behaviour
of the disciple in the early stages. Before he has a firm
grip over the higher side of his personality, there is no
stir in the process. Since the link is not on the material,
etheric or astral planes and since the link begins with the
matter of the mental plane, the disciple is helpless without
the aid of a Guru. He cannot invoke the blessing of the
Guru until he practises personal virtues and surrenders
his self and himself to service. The concerned glands lie
functionless like the carbon rods of an arc lamp. It is the
arc that connects them only when they are suitably
charged.
When the link is established through a continuous
process of improving the fitness of the disciple, Pleiades
begin to shower the spiritual food as principles upon him.
They are appropriately called the seven mothers of
Kuma-ra, a newborn babe and an eternal child. The disciple
becomes a kuma-ra only after the second birth (spiritual
birth). The Pleiades are also thought of as the wives of
