Subtle Body Crocodiles: Mental, Astral, Etheric, Physical

Mental Crocodile

The Mental Crocodile is a frequent companion of the intelligentsia, especially people engaged in intellectual work. Currently, it is widespread in all strata of society due to the overall hypertrophy of the mental body.

In principle, the mental body receives natural protection and involtation from the causal body. Roughly, this can be expressed as: problems should be solved as they arise. However, the mental body seems designed for all sorts of modeling, and it's very tempting to model the entire world, after which it (ideally) becomes understandable, obedient, and manageable.

Nevertheless, mental currents are coarser than causal ones (not to mention buddhic and atmanic), so any intellectual representation of an event is its coarsening. Generally speaking, in order to think about a particular subject or phenomenon, a person must have the appropriate sanction of a karmic (or other, but sufficiently high) egregore, since thought about the world, especially a coarse one, is often destructive to it. Nevertheless, the sins of idle thinking and verbal diarrhea are extraordinarily common: people think about things no one asked them to think about, and chatter about everything under the sun without substantial reason — thereby greatly polluting the mental plane of the subtle world.

It's clear that at some point, such an occupation, combined with the disproportionately increasing energy of the mental body, attracts the attention of Gagthungr, and a mental crocodile is sent to the person, feeding on the energy of thought. For a person with such a crocodile, first, there is a desire to obtain various information, and second, its very poor assimilation, or at least its weak influence on the higher bodies.

Passive-Vampiric Mental Crocodile

If the crocodile belongs to the passive-vampiric type, its owner will, at first glance, perceive the information flow well and attentively, even somewhat predatorily, but will never be satisfied with what is heard. They always seem to have misunderstood or misheard something, and need further clarification. If you undertake to explain something to them, after a while you will feel that they are not listening to you correctly or misunderstanding you. And although at the end of the conversation they will probably nod their head and agree with everything, or almost everything, you will be left with a very unpleasant feeling of wasted effort and some kind of bad, though hidden, joy on their part (this is the contented tail wagging of a fed Crocodile). But the most unpleasant thing is that when you meet next time, the crocodile's owner will ask you the same questions, and you will quickly see that they not only understood nothing and drew no conclusions from the past conversation, but simply completely forgot it. At the same time, the crocodile's owner themselves feels that they hear and understand the interlocutor poorly, as if there is a cotton wall between them.

Active Mental Crocodile

If a person with a passive Crocodile is often silent, the active mental Crocodile is characteristic of chatterboxes who attack their victims with utterly uninteresting and useless information about their own affairs, state affairs, or planetary matters. Unfortunately, mental aggression of this kind, no less devastating than astral or physical, is somehow ignored in society and not considered particularly unethical. In the subtle world, on the mental plane, the following happens at this time: The Crocodile swims forward and, using phrases as weapons, exposes the victim's mental body and actively devours its energy, accompanying this occupation with exclamations: "No, tell me, do you agree with me or not? Can you really give free rein to young people?!" With their muffled answer, no matter what it is, the victim, exhausted from boredom to the point of nausea (sure signs of a catastrophic decrease in the mental body's energy), exposes a new area of the mental body, which the Crocodile immediately seizes upon.

Specific Manifestations

A specific mental Crocodile appears in people who consider themselves intelligent because they own and constantly use some mental scheme that models the causal flow. In the course of this modeling, a strong profanation occurs (whatever the quality of this scheme), and the energy released feeds the Crocodile. Here is a characteristic example:

A little boy caught a cold, and by evening his temperature had risen. In the family, naturally, a discussion about the causes of the illness begins. “Tense aspects of the transiting Moon on the radical ascendant in Cancer,” — says the astrologer dad, raising his head from the ephemeris for a second. “Karmic retribution for crimes in the past incarnation,” — comments the mom, a karma specialist, — “there was no need to subject witches to the water test in 16th century Holland.” “You need to listen to your elders more,” — grumbles grandpa, offended by the child since morning, — “and, most importantly, respect them, then he won't get sick.” “Next time put a scarf and warm tights on the little one,” — the grandmother murmurs, — and a heavy silence hangs over the family due to their complete helplessness in the situation and a sharp decrease in mental energy. The family mental Crocodile, grinning contentedly, crawls under the sick child's bed.

The mental crocodile is often found among various "theorists," including those in the humanities. Such a crocodile can feed on other people's concepts, theories, and the like, which are dissected by the following simple method: first, the criticized concept is "translated" into the language of a scheme accessible to the "theorist" in such a way that little remains of it in the process of translation; but the result is understandable to him, and, of course, contradicts his main concept or does not align with it — and therefore is incorrect. In all phases of the described critical act, as with any profanation and destruction, energy is released, which is devoured by the crocodile.

Astral Crocodile

The Astral Crocodile feeds on the energies of human emotions. It will be attracted by any strong feelings that torment or, conversely, delight a person for a long time: anger, jealousy, rage, impatience, infatuation, and others — as long as they are stronger and more energetic.

An overly emotional person gives the impression of sloppiness — indeed, their astral body is overfed and hangs in folds and tatters — and is not approved of in society. Hysterics went out of fashion, apparently, already in the 19th century, and in our time, a lean rather than an excessive astral body is more common. That is, modern man is more dry than unrestrained in feelings, but nevertheless, Crocodiles have not become rare at all. They are now fed by professionals — theater and film directors. But even here, difficulties are felt, for the indifference of the satiated public gradually extends, alas, to the densest and most reliable emotions — sexual ones. Even lower are only the emotions of the Muladhara — death and survival, and there is desperate speculation on them: horror films mixed with, unfortunately, quite documentary chronicles. Nevertheless, despite the decline in the level of astral crocodiles (due to the degradation of emotional life as such), their kind has not died out, and the author will give a brief description of their behavior and influence on the owner.

The Astral Crocodile leads its owner into situations overflowing with its favorite energy. Most often, the Crocodile engages in provocation, inciting other people to frank emotional outpourings, which it then devours. The person themselves (the owner of the Crocodile) makes a contradictory impression. On the one hand, they seem to be sympathetic and attentive, able to silently listen and perceive the most inarticulate and sharp emotions, but remain strangely detached and seemingly not at all sympathetic to the partner's grief or joy. Moreover, after this emotional outpouring, the person may feel extremely unpleasant the next day, because the Crocodile has crept into their astral body and thoroughly trampled there, not to mention having completely eaten everything it could, leaving only longing and despondency.

Astral Crocodiles can be either omnivorous or attuned to specific emotions, such as jealousy or rage. Once it appears, the Crocodile of jealousy very reluctantly leaves a person, forcing them to be jealous for the most ridiculous and insignificant reasons, because the crocodile doesn't need logic, but food, that is, the energy of the characteristic vibrations of the astral body. An experienced manipulator can carefully shift the attention of their crocodile to a partner. Then the partner will begin to be jealous, but this is, generally speaking, a dangerous game, as strong jealousy easily turns into hatred or a delusional state. Closely connected with the Crocodile of jealousy is the Crocodile of infatuation, with the help of which experienced heartbreakers make inexperienced, but longing to love girls (as well as mature women) fall in love with them. This Crocodile habitually devours the energy of its owner's ardent infatuation, leaving almost nothing for the owner (except for the very initial impulse of novelty in acquaintance), and they, disappointed, seek new love. Otherwise, the Crocodile begins to bite the owner, forcing them into narcissistic love, as it is difficult for a person with a weak astral body, eaten away by their own Crocodile, to sincerely love anyone, including themselves.

Low-level Astral Crocodiles, that is, the most predatory ones, feed on the heaviest and most unpleasant human emotions: fear, emotional pain, hatred, and contempt for the Crocodile's owner themselves. If such a Crocodile gains complete power over a person, they become a despot, a sadist, and in extreme cases, even a serial killer.

Etheric Crocodile

The Etheric Crocodile swims to people who force the energetic basis of the physical body. Since the main source of energy for the etheric body is food, the etheric crocodile is most often found in gluttons: overt and hidden. A glutton is a person who eats significantly more than they actually need (the rest of the digested food goes to the crocodile). "Unhealthy" obesity is one where fat, instead of serving as an energy reserve, constantly demands food for its own support — in fact, the etheric Crocodile, which relentlessly accompanies the stout person, materializes in it, and getting rid of it is extremely difficult.

Food has a second, cleansing function, no less complex than the nutritional one: the dirt of the astral body, descending into the etheric, is excreted along with food residues. Therefore, many people, finding themselves in an unusually dirty astral environment (e.g., experiencing emotional troubles), instinctively begin to eat more, firstly, by feeding the astral body with etheric energy, and secondly, by cleansing the etheric body of astral dirt with the help of food. Naturally, the level of etheric energy sharply rises, eventually attracting the Crocodile, as a reserve cleaning method should not become the main one. The appearance of an etheric Crocodile, that is, a kind of subtle racketeer (by the way, the causal Crocodile can well take the form of a real racketeer), always signifies gross disturbances in a person's energetic balance.

In particular, most professional athletes have a strong Etheric Crocodile, whose etheric body is hypertrophied, as they need to withstand heavy loads. The energy of the etheric body accumulated for competitions attracts a predatory parasite, which must then be fed throughout life — hence the rapidly occurring unhealthy obesity that appears after a decrease in the level of loads.

A strong etheric crocodile makes a person quite unpleasant upon physical contact with its owner: the crocodile can devour etheric energy through skin contact, and the sexual "caresses" of such a person resemble more daylight robbery, causing, along with arousal (or instead of it), feelings of disgust, protest, and coldness. When the Crocodile, not satisfied with the food offered to it, begins to gnaw at the person themselves, their etheric energy falls, and they can become seriously ill: with blood cancer, diabetes, AIDS, etc.

Physical Crocodile

The Physical Crocodile. In general, the manifestations of the physical body (like any other) are very diverse, and the author does not claim to provide any exhaustive description of either its functions or the crocodiles.

The physical body is a source of energy for the etheric: this is not only the energy of digested food, but also the energy produced by the physical body during movement, more precisely, during the stretching of ligaments and the friction of joint surfaces. In other words, during movements of the physical body, two types of energy are released: in the muscles — mechanical, which goes to overcome the inertia of the body, gravity, or the resistance of a lever, and etheric, of much higher vibrations, which nourishes (in addition to food) the etheric body. Using its energy, the etheric body heals and builds the physical body, maintaining within itself its informational code (i.e., information about its initially given structure).

Thus, imbalances of the physical body are associated with both its excessive exploitation and the underloading of ligaments and joints, which primarily affects the etheric body.

In general, the physical body is designed for very large overloads, but under quite specific positions of the assembly point. During strong stresses (a cave bear attack, falling from a tree), the assembly point falls into a special position and direct involtation of a high egregore is activated, which gives a person unusual strength and reaction speed. However, here control over the physical body is complete, and stretched ligaments do not occur, joints do not break, which cannot be said about weightlifters and ballerinas. In normal times, the physical body is designed for moderate overloads — not too large and not too small, and artificial forcing of it through training leads to the production of a large amount of energy for the etheric body, which summons from the infernal egregores a special variety of Crocodile that feeds on the energy of the physical body released in the ligaments and joints — it is with this crocodile that many professional diseases of athletes are associated.

Situations of physical illnesses are, as a rule, associated with poor energetic state of the etheric body, when it is unable to protect and properly involute the physical body. In infants and healthy people, the etheric body protrudes slightly beyond the physical — at the same time, the skin gives a characteristic soft, tender, silky sensation when touched. If the etheric body weakens as a whole, it retreats into the physical, the skin becomes rougher, and skin diseases, not to mention accidental scratches and abrasions, occur more easily. With a good etheric body, a brick is unlikely to fall on a person's head, and an opponent's fist will slide along the jaw, not damaging it. A strong physical body with a weak etheric body causes a sharp energetic imbalance, and a physical Crocodile appears: the person breaks a leg, or spurs grow in their joints, a tumor appears, gangrene spreads... the list can be continued by doctors and accident specialists, including intentional murder.

Of course, the physical Crocodile in the form of a cancerous tumor, a guillotine knife, or ocean water in which a person drowns, does not simply come about due to a imbalance of the etheric and physical bodies — for physical death, a person's connections with all their guiding egregores must be cut off and karmic sanction obtained; but when the hour of death comes, unfortunately, the final blow often belongs to the physical Crocodile. The departure from life of a harmonious person, of course, happens quite differently.
