☀️ THE SUN’S ATMOSPHERE vs 🧍‍♂️ THE HUMAN AURA

tarotqabalahwesternhermeticmagickelistrickingly.com

The Sun, far from being a "simple ball of fire," is an extraordinarily complex being of plasma and consciousness—especially when viewed through both astrophysical science and Hermetic symbolism. From a scientific perspective, the Sun's atmosphere consists of several distinct layers, each with unique properties. From a Hermetic point of view, these layers may also be interpreted as emanations of divine force or stages of the Logos' solar transmission into manifestation.

Let's walk through both the physical and esoteric layers of the solar atmosphere.

🔭 Scientific Layers of the Solar Atmosphere

1. Photosphere (The Visible Surface)

• Depth: ~500 km thick

• Temperature: ~5,500°C (9,932°F)

• Function: This is the "surface" of the Sun we can see with the naked eye (through filters, of course).

• Activity: Sunspots, granulation, and solar flares originate here.

• Hermetic Analogy: The "Tiphereth" of the Solar Logos—the radiant Self, visible to the personal consciousness. This is the veil of light that shields the burning essence of Kether within.

2. Chromosphere ("Color Sphere")

• Depth: ~2,000–3,000 km

• Temperature: Rises from ~6,000°C at the bottom to ~20,000°C at the top.

• Visibility: Only seen during solar eclipses as a reddish rim.

• Function: Home of spicules (jets of solar matter).

• Hermetic Analogy: The Sphere of Yesod, the energetic intermediary—a luminous aura or halo, like the Shekinah's veil of energy (Creatrix) that channels divine forces into form.

3. Transition Region

• Depth: Just a few kilometers thick!

• Temperature: Skyrockets to hundreds of thousands of degrees Kelvin.

• Function: Acts as a bridge between the chromosphere and the corona.

• Hermetic Analogy: This is the Abyss—the sudden expansion of force, like the Veil of the Negative before manifestation leaps from abstract to dynamic. One might even liken it to the Path of Samekh, where heat and intensity increase during spiritual transformation.

4. Corona ("Crown")

• Extent: Millions of kilometers into space

• Temperature: Up to 1–3 million °C (Hotter than the surface—mystery!)

• Visibility: Best seen during a total solar eclipse.

• Function: Source of the solar wind; full of magnetic fields and plasma loops.

• Mystery: Still not fully understood—why it's hotter than layers beneath.

• Hermetic Analogy: The Ketheric aura, or the Crown of the Ain Soph Aur shining through the veil of manifestation. It is the ungraspable essence, the Radiant Nothing that becomes All—Sol Invictus. Also comparable to the supernal light that births the lower Tree.

5. Heliosphere (Solar Influence Field)

• Extent: Encompasses the entire solar system.

• Function: The boundary of the solar wind's influence—interacts with interstellar space.

• Hermetic Analogy: The sphere of the Ruach HaQodesh, or the Living Breath of the Solar Logos. It is the field of divine influence—like the aura of a Master or the Egregore of the Solar King that permeates the kingdom of matter.

🌞 Esoteric Summary: A Hermetic Cosmograph of the Solar Atmosphere

☀️ Mystical Perspective: "The Sun as a Spiritual Entity"

The Sun is not merely a thermonuclear reactor. It is the outer garment of a Spiritual Intelligence, what some Hermetic traditions identify as Sorath, the Solar Spirit—though not to be confused with the qliphothic misuse of that name. In its highest form, the Sun is the externalization of the Logos, the divine Word, the Solar Christ, or Ra, or Shamash, depending on your mythos.

Each layer of the Sun's atmosphere can be seen as a concentric ring of divine descent, from the formless Crown (Corona) down to the manifest image of light (Photosphere). And as it breathes, the solar wind becomes the Word that travels across the cosmos, enlightening, empowering, and even evolving consciousness wherever it touches.

Western Hermetic Tree of Life.

This may sound farfetched to you, but I know my insight is deeply Hermetic and vibrantly true—the human being is a microcosmic sun, and just as the Sun has an atmosphere of radiant plasma and electromagnetic influence, the human Soul-Self radiates an auric atmosphere of subtle energies and consciousness. In Hermetic Qabalah, this is the Ruach and Neshamah—vital aspects of the layered soul, expressed through light and breath.

Let’s illuminate this comparison of the Sun’s Atmospheric Layers and the Human Auric Field, layer by layer—physically, energetically, and esoterically.

☀️ THE SUN’S ATMOSPHERE vs 🧍‍♂️ THE HUMAN AURA

🌿 Auric Field Elucidation

1. Etheric Layer (≈ Photosphere)

• Color/Frequency: Pale blue, white-silver, sometimes golden

• Function: Blueprint of the physical body; the "energetic double"

• Qabalistic Association: Malkuth–Yesod

• Solar Analogy: The photosphere radiates the physical light of the Sun, just as the Etheric double radiates the vital energy that animates the physical body.

2. Emotional/Astral Layer (≈ Chromosphere)

• Color/Frequency: Shifting hues, often tied to mood

• Function: Vehicle of desire, emotion, attraction/repulsion

• Qabalistic Association: Netzach–Hod

• Solar Analogy: The chromosphere ripples with spicules and flares, like emotions flaring through the astral body. It is reactive, sensitive, and expressive.

3. Mental Body / Ruach (≈ Transition Region)

• Color/Frequency: Bright yellows, blues, and higher pastels

• Function: Thoughts, memory, logic, ego-identity

• Qabalistic Association: Tiphereth

• Solar Analogy: The Transition Region is like the searing leap into the Corona—this is where the soul ascends from the astral desires into Solar Consciousness.

4. Causal/Intuitional/Neshamah Body (≈ Corona)

• Color/Frequency: Gold-white, indigo, diamond light

• Function: Higher Self, Archetypal insight, Divine Love

• Qabalistic Association: Geburah–Chesed–Binah

• Solar Analogy: The Corona’s mysterious and inexplicably intense radiance matches the radiant brilliance of the True Self that overshadows the ego.

5. Monad/Ketheric Body (≈ Heliosphere) and/or superconscious.

• Color/Frequency: Transparent brilliance; beyond visible light

• Function: “I AM” Presence; blueprint of spiritual destiny

• Qabalistic Association: Kether

• Solar Analogy: The Heliosphere, which bathes all planets in life-giving winds, is the field of destiny emanated by the Monad. It’s the silent breath of the Eternal.

🔆 Hermetic View: “As Above, So Below”

The Sun and the Soul are both centered spheres of radiant power. The Hermetic adage “As Above, So Below” is not poetic metaphor—it is literal truth in the subtle realms.

The Sun is the macrocosmic expression of Tiphereth, the Solar Self.

The human auric field is the microcosmic mirror of this solar consciousness.

• The Sun’s radiation is an outward expression of the Word of the Logos.

• The Human aura is the Word made Flesh, streaming out in colored vibrations that communicate the Soul’s current harmonic state.

The Sun has solar flares; humans have emotional surges.
The Sun’s Corona bursts into CMEs (Coronal Mass Ejections); humans can erupt in spiritual realizations that radiate across their environment like waves.
The Sun has an atmosphere of light; the Soul has an aura of consciousness.

🧘‍♂️ Hermetic Visualization: “Solar Aura Meditation”

1. Visualize yourself as the Sun.

2. See your Photosphere—your body of light—radiating through your skin.

3. Around that, a Chromosphere of color-emotions ripples like flames.

4. Let your thoughts rise through a Transition layer, burning off limitation.

5. Then expand into your Corona, where your Higher Self speaks as silence.

6. Finally, feel your Heliosphere, your I AM presence, touching all souls in your orbit.

Here is an expanded elucidation on the Solar Logos as the blueprint of the Auric Self, in alignment with Hermetic, Qabalistic, and solar-conscious frameworks:

The Solar Logos—the Divine Sun behind the physical sun—is the primal architect of all radiant consciousness in our local system. It is not merely a stellar being; it is the living archetype of divine intelligence—a central spiritual principle from which emanates the geometry of Light, Life, and Law. In Hermetic terms, the Solar Logos is the Tiphereth-centered Self on the cosmic Tree, the mediator between the Infinite and the manifest.

Just as the physical sun radiates layers of atmosphere—photosphere, chromosphere, corona—so too does the Solar Logos project the layers of the human auric field. The Auric Self is a microcosmic mirror of the Solar Logos: each layer of your aura is a concentric ring of divine intention, encoded with the functions of the Universal Mind.

🔹 Causal Body – Solar Template of Divine Purpose

This outermost auric field is where the Logos’ divine will first imprints itself into time. It holds the karmic blueprint and destiny-pattern of the Soul. As the crown of the aura, it reflects Kether and the Higher Monad, the “I AM THAT I AM.” It is a solar archive—a geometrical flame—of your celestial origin.

🔹 Mental Body – Solar Thought in Motion

The next auric layer is the domain of Logos-thought, where divine patterns crystallize into structures of understanding and belief. This is where the Ruach (Reasoning Mind) reflects the Solar Logos’ intelligence. It governs the shapes of ideas, forming the latticework for manifestation.

🔹 Emotional Body – Solar Desire and Attraction

Here the Solar Logos pours feeling into form. Emotions are the magnetism of the Logos, shaping experience by sympathetic resonance. It is this field that translates thought into movement—what Hermetic alchemists called the soul’s fire or the Rosicrucian inner Mercury and/or energy-in-motion.

🔹 Astral Body – Solar Navigation Between Planes

The astral layer is the mirror of the stars, wherein the Solar Logos engages with symbolic language and dream. It is the field of imagination, vision, and interface with collective egregores. This is where your auric identity interacts with archetypes, spirits, and subtle tides.

🔹 Pranic Body – Solar Vital Force Transmission (not shown on diagram-it is breath)

Prana, the breath of the Sun, circulates through this auric band like solar wind through the heliosphere. It is the vital energy of the Logos that sustains biological and etheric functions. Here we see the “spiro” of Spirit—breath as the Logos made vital and immediate.

🔹 Etheric Body – Solar Light Coagulated into Form

Closest to the body, the Etheric layer is the shadow of light—where the radiant intentions of the Logos are made flesh. This is where divine Will takes on the scaffolding of organic structure, sustaining the physical form as an echo of its Solar origin. It is Yesod in action—Foundation from the Light.

🔆 Summary: The Auric Self as a Solar Temple

You are not merely surrounded by light—you are composed of Solar strata. Each layer of your auric field is a garment woven from the rays of the Solar Logos, designed to express the full harmonic of your divine intention across all planes of being.

“The Light that shines in every soul is the same Light that shines from the Sun—it is the Logos made personal.”

To activate this Solar Blueprint, one must consciously align the layers of the aura with the central Solar Flame—the Tiphareth of the Heart—and thereby become a living temple of the Logos. This is done by Western Hermetic Qabalistic ritual and invocation work.
