Excellent quote find Mr. Plenum. This one is a real winner.
First, consider the Trinity of the primary Chakras of Mind, Body, and Spirit. As with all Odd numbers, it can be split into a Yang portion, a Yin portion, and a centered or unmoving portion. Remember the structure of the signifcators in the tarot: Mind is right side up, Body is upside down, and Light is a angel/small child, not gendered.
Other than these three, there are only the secondary chakras and the crown.
I have found an attraction to some of the extended metaphors of Freemasonry. Even if today masonry may be corrupt, perhaps at the high levels, such great figures as Ben Franklin were masons.
Anyway, the most important extended metaphor in all of Masonry is the building of Solomon's temple. While there are various stages with various meanings, but the overall theme appears to be about the careful and meticulous building the light body, analogous to seating learning/teachings.
