The Sevenfold Constitution of the Human Being
128
Several esoteric traditions believe that the human being is not limited to a single body of flesh and blood, but instead exists as a amalgam of seven interpenetrating bodies, each vibrating at a distinct frequency and corresponding to a unique level of consciousness. This constitution in layers forms a bridge between the material and the divine, mapping the soul’s descent into matter and its potential ascent back to the source.
The physical body is the most tangible and material of the seven. It serves as the vessel through which the soul experiences the physical world, bound by the laws of biology, space, and time. It is composed of flesh, bone, and matter, but it does not exist in isolation. Its vitality is sustained by subtle forces, and without these, it would be inert. The physical body is the site of sensation and action, allowing the soul to manifest its will within the temporal realm.
The etheric body, also known as the vital or pranic body, underlies and interpenetrates the physical form. It is made of subtle life-energy and functions as the blueprint or energetic matrix that maintains the structure and function of the material body. It is through this body that prana, chi, or life-force flows, animating tissues, regulating health, and forming the auric field sometimes noticed by those with psychic sensitivity. It connects the material to the immaterial, serving as a bridge between body and soul.
The astral body governs emotion, desire, and imagination. It is the seat of passions, instincts, and inner images, and it serves as the vehicle for dreams and psychic experiences. This is the body that travels in the dream state or in altered states of consciousness and is central to experiences of astral projection. It has a more fluid consistence than that of the etheric, and it responds instantly to emotional impulses, making it the most volatile and reactive of the subtle bodies.
The mental body is the domain of thought, cognition, and reason. It is often divided into two components: the lower mental body, which takes part in concrete thinking, memory, and logic, and the higher mental body, which perceives abstract truths, archetypes, and universal principles. Through the mental body, we develop self-awareness, belief systems, and discernment. It is through the improvement of this body that the ego begins to dissolve, allowing thought to serve truth rather than self-interest.
The causal body, or buddhic body, contains the soul’s higher wisdom and accumulated experience. It is the vessel of intuition, compassion, and non-dual perception. This body exists beyond linear time and holds the karmic imprint of previous incarnations—the lessons learned and the spiritual tendencies cultivated. It is the realm of inner guidance and soul purpose, allowing the being to act from harmony rather than reaction, and to notice unity where the lower mind sees separation.
The spiritual body, or atmic body, represents the divine will and the soul's alignment with cosmic purpose. It is the seat of spiritual volition—not personal desire, but the execution of the higher law. This is the level of mastery where individual will is surrendered to divine intention, and where the soul becomes a conscious co-creator with the universal intelligence. Those who access this body operate from a plane of deep inner sovereignty and radiant stillness, often manifesting profound spiritual authority.
At the highest level lies the monadic body—the pure spark of divinity, the eternal self, the undivided essence from which all the other bodies emanate. The Monad is beyond all form and function, untouched by time, death, or individuality. It is the source of all consciousness within the being and the point of union with the Absolute. Realization of the Monad is the apex of spiritual evolution, where the soul transcends all identities and merges into the infinite. It is the return to the One, the reintegration of the many into the indivisible light of origin.
In most human beings, these bodies remain partially dormant or fragmented. The great work of spiritual initiation is to harmonize and awaken each body, gradually purifying the lower vehicles and aligning the consciousness to subtler vibrations. Practices such as ritual, meditation, prayer, alchemy, asceticism, and sacred study serve to align these bodies and bring them under the guidance of the Monad.
As one ascends the inner planes, perception shifts from the senses to symbols, then to pure archetypes, and finally to the formless light of the divine. The path is not linear but spiral—each cycle of refinement bringing the soul closer to its origin and its infinite potential.

Moroccan Tourism in 2025: Spectacular Growth but Persistent Challenges
324
Moroccan tourism has been experiencing a very favorable phase since 2024. Tourism revenues reached nearly 50 billion dirhams in the first quarter of the current year, confirming a robust recovery after the global health crisis. This upswing is the result of a combination of factors that can be analyzed from several perspectives.
Certainly, the gradual lifting of health restrictions worldwide enabled a massive return of international visitors, particularly Europeans, but also travelers from other regions of the globe. With its unique cultural richness, history, lively medinas, diverse landscapes ranging from the Atlas Mountains to the Atlantic and Mediterranean beaches, sunshine, colors, unparalleled craftsmanship, refined cuisine, and the warmth of Moroccans—their smiles, their ability to quickly connect with others, and their tolerance—the Kingdom has managed to attract clientele seeking authentic and varied experiences. After two difficult years, this strong recovery reflects renewed tourist interest in the destination.
According to the government, the rise of the tourism sector is linked to a strategy and sustained policy of investment in infrastructure: world-class hotels, improved transport networks, airport modernization, and expansion of air routes. These efforts have undoubtedly significantly enhanced the country’s accessibility as well as visitor comfort and security, all now essential elements to remain competitive in a highly competitive international market.
The Kingdom has also heavily invested in its global visibility through well-calibrated promotion campaigns, regular presence at major international trade shows, and strategic partnerships with key tourism players. This well-thought marketing strategy has attracted a diverse clientele, amplifying the effect of a strong national brand.
Developing the tourism offer plays a crucial role in this dynamic. In addition to traditional cultural and seaside getaways that the country is famous for, Morocco is now focusing on growing segments: adventure tourism, desert trekking, extreme sports, ecotourism, national parks, protected areas, and cultural events, international festivals, and exhibitions. This diversification aims to attract different tourist profiles year-round and avoid excessive seasonality.
The exceptional event of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, through the performance of the Moroccan national team and the enthusiastic support of its supporters in the stadium and the streets of Doha, had an amplifying effect on the country’s global visibility and image. This competition put Morocco on the international tourism map, attracting a significant influx of visitors and creating immediate spotlight on its attractions. As a direct result, Morocco exceeded in 2024 its initial target of 17.5 million tourists planned for 2026—a remarkable achievement.
However, without contesting the announced figures, this bright spot should not mask certain challenges. A closer look at the statistics reveals a different reality. A significant portion of recorded tourists, about 50%, are Moroccans residing abroad (MRE), who visit mainly for family reasons rather than tourism linked to government strategies. It should not be overlooked that these same MRE often denounce recurring problems, foremost among them the high cost of air transport with Royal Air Maroc, which is heavily subsidized by public funds. Price gouging in hotels and restaurants, especially in summer, is also widely criticized. These difficulties impact the retention of international visitors as well, as return rates are very low. The fact that operators at all levels impose exorbitant price increases during peak season tarnishes the country’s image and discourages visitors.
Staying in Morocco is abusively expensive for unclear reasons.
Indeed, few tourists return multiple times after their first visit. This raises questions about the quality of the customer experience and the destination’s competitiveness.
Excluding MRE and visitors traveling for professional reasons, the number of foreigners visiting Morocco by deliberate choice is therefore not that high. This calls into question the efficiency of the very large subsidies granted to the sector and, above all, the effectiveness of the promotional campaigns.
The Ministry of Tourism and the National Tourism Office attribute the recorded success to their proactive policy, but the reality shows that this growth largely relies on the emotional attachment of the MRE, a factor less controllable by public authorities.
Will the post-World Cup momentum and the goodwill generated be sustained over the long term?
It is difficult to precisely gauge how much of the upswing is due to the World Cup context and what the real impact of public policies is, especially subsidies and aid allocated to the sector. This impact, however, cannot be ignored.
To maintain the course and ensure sustainable growth of the sector, it is essential that Morocco continues and deepens its efforts: ongoing investments and innovation in the tourism offer. However, the major urgent challenge remains controlling the outrageous costs for visitors. The government’s silence on this issue risks hurting the sector badly. The summer sunshine is too expensive. It is time for the entire industry to stop acting like predators, and for scams and extortion to be forever banned quickly.
Another key challenge is integrating sustainable development policies to preserve natural and cultural resources within the broader framework of inclusive development across all regions of the country. It is also imperative to include citizen awareness and education in this vision. Polluted or neglected beaches and sites, annoying incivility, and inappropriate behaviors are additional challenges to be addressed.
Tourism must remain one of the major engines of Morocco’s economy, generating jobs and wealth while enhancing the country’s international standing.
Still, we shall wait until the end of the campaign to make a final judgment, especially on the trajectory of the numbers and the effectiveness of measures announced in the sector’s development strategy, and above all to draw the necessary lessons.

[Short Stories #4 ] A Red Flower Among the Ice [1/3]
495
The radio crackled softly in the dim kitchen, the announcer’s voice steady but tinged with concern.
“This week, heavy snow is expected. Please be careful if you must travel and …”
Karl was busy on the living room floor, toy cars rattling loudly in his hands as they scattered across the rug. His father, standing in the kitchen doorway, raised a hand gently.
“Karl, please, not so much noise. I want to listen to what they’re saying on the radio.”
“Sorry, Dad,” Karl muttered, setting one of his cars aside, his brow furrowed with boredom.
Their mother entered, phone pressed to her ear, a tired sigh escaping her lips.
“No classes this week,” she announced.
Karl groaned, “Another boring week stuck at home.”
“Dinner’s ready,” his mother called, her voice breaking the silence. “Come eat before it gets cold.”
Karl trudged to the table, the long winter night stretching out before him—cold and quiet, just like the thick ice blanketing the world beyond their windows. The house felt suspended in time, the wind whistling now and then, the only other sound the gentle hum of the old radio. Outside, street lamps cast faint halos through frosted glass.
The days passed slowly, one blending into the next, each wrapped in an endless layer of white. The world outside seemed to hold its breath, every noise muffled by the heavy snow. Streets once filled with color and movement were now hushed and blank, as if time itself had frozen.
At last, on the final day of the week, their mother opened a window wide.
“Look,” she whispered. “The snow has stopped. It’s beautiful today.”
Karl hurried to her side, eyes wide as he peered out. The garden glistened beneath the weak morning sun, untouched except for delicate patterns of frost sparkling quietly.
“Can I go outside? Just for a little while?” Karl pleaded, his hope unmistakable.
His mother smiled softly.
“Okay, but dress warmly—and don’t go too far.”
Bundled up in scarf and mittens, Karl stepped outside, his breath clouding in the crisp air. He clutched his favorite toy car, venturing into the silent, frozen yard. Everywhere he looked, white shimmered—nature itself seemed on the verge of beginning anew.
Suddenly, amid the endless white, a surprising splash of color caught his eye.
“What’s that?” Karl whispered.
Moving closer, he saw it: a single brave red flower pushing through the icy crust, vivid and alive against the snow. Its petals tilted upward, reaching as if to catch every drop of sunlight.
The sight filled Karl with wonder.
“So beautiful,” he murmured. “What are you doing here, all alone?”
He circled the flower, curiosity mounting. He didn’t understand how anything so small, so delicate, could survive here.
“I’ll take you home with me,” he decided. Gently, he cupped his hands to pull the flower free—but it didn’t budge. Its roots, deep within the ice, held fast. Karl tried again, but it remained stubbornly in place.
Disappointed and hungry, the little boy picked up his toy car and made his way back indoors.
That evening, as the family gathered for dinner, his mother asked, “Karl, how was your walk today? You didn’t say anything when you came inside.”
Karl hesitated, then replied quietly, “I found a red flower growing in the ice.”
Everyone laughed. His father teased, “Poor flower, it must be freezing out there!” They chuckled, but Karl was stung. No one believed what he’d seen.
After dinner, the house quieted once more. The family went to bed, the next day would be the start of a new week—school would resume.
Morning came. Karl’s mother called up the stairs, “Karl, time to get up for school!”
No answer. She climbed to his room.
Karl was not in the room…

A Last Chance: The King of Morocco’s Message to Algeria on the Sahara Issue...
694
His Majesty the King's speech, delivered on July 28, 2025, on the occasion of the Throne Day, carries particular significance in a diplomatic context that is admittedly new but has been developing for a long time. The recent circumstances are marked by the tour of Massad Boulos, father of one of Donald Trump’s sons-in-law and special envoy of the President to the region. These circumstances are further highlighted by the remarks before the U.S. Congress of the newly appointed ambassador to Rabat, who is very close to the President. Richard Duke Buchan III did not mince words: the Sahara is Moroccan. He knows the region well, having been ambassador to Spain.
This situation says a lot about the current dynamics of the conflict over the Moroccan Sahara and about Algeria’s troubled stance on this issue.
In his widely followed speech, eagerly awaited and well-reported by Moroccans due to the rarity of His Majesty's words, the King of Morocco emphasizes the repeated "outstretched hand" offered by Rabat. He stresses the brotherhood between the Moroccan and Algerian peoples while underlining the constancy of his position. The goal is to exert moral and diplomatic weight, presenting an image of responsibility and openness while implicitly denouncing Algerian obstruction. This rhetoric effectively offers a way out for Algeria, which is becoming isolated on the international stage. Addressing the Algerian people, His Majesty essentially calls them to witness.
By explicitly highlighting growing support for his proposal, notably recent backing by the United Kingdom and Portugal, His Majesty sends a message with a dual meaning:
*- Morocco enjoys increasing support for its autonomy proposal, which legitimizes its position broadly supported by the West, the Arab world, the majority of African countries, and others;
- At the same time, Algeria is becoming increasingly diplomatically isolated, as confirmed by the awkward silence regarding the Sahara issue in official statements, especially after the American special envoy’s visit.*
The speech disregards the new realities and moves directly to a constructive proposal for dialogue within a fraternal framework.
On the other side, the absence of any mention of Western Sahara in Algerian official statements following Boulos’s meeting with President Tebboune is particularly telling. Added to this is the recent statement by the Lebanese president, made in the presence of Tebboune and his close entourage in the heart of Algerian power. He thanked the Kingdoms of Saudi Arabia and Morocco for their involvement in resolving the political crisis in his country, without a word about the Sahara. The tone of Joseph Aoun’s voice is grating to the aligned guards. Faces are tense.
This reflects either a political unwillingness or inability of Algeria to publicly address this subject under international pressure, except in the presence of marginal countries. There is also an embarrassment or divergence between the regional political reality and Algerian diplomatic communication. The fact that the American special envoy continues his tour, with a clear mission, according to Trump, "to end this artificial conflict," demonstrates international determination to promote a resolution favoring Morocco’s proposal. At least, this can be inferred from Trump’s letter to His Majesty on the occasion of the Throne Day.
Are we nearing a scenario similar to the resolution of the conflict between Rwanda and the DRC?
His Majesty the King’s renewed call can be seen as a last resort, a final offer of appeasement: an opportunity for Algeria to step down from its stubborn stance without losing face, relying on a credible and internationally accepted proposal. Morocco has shown both patience and firmness. The next step now depends on Algeria’s choice.
Unfortunately, instead of an official response, the Algerian authorities have communicated indirectly through media channels, some of whose outrageous remarks are perplexing. They even claim that the King of Morocco eventually threw in the towel in the face of Algeria’s intransigence. The lifeline extended by the King to a languishing regime is perceived as a mere sponge by the very one who needs it.
A pity.
Algeria now faces its contradictions, confronted with a complex constraint. Continuing to support the Polisario means further entrenchment and a risky isolation, both regionally and internationally, with an even greater threat of political weakening internally. The country suffers from an unprecedented economic crisis, limiting, due to a lack of foreign currency, imports that are vital to the economy and the people. Recurring electricity and especially water cuts in several regions add to the difficulties. The dilapidated state of cities is perplexing. Tebboune’s reassuring talks do not lessen the bitterness of the population.
Heeding Morocco’s call would allow Algeria to reposition itself politically without losing face; explicitly refusing dialogue is increasingly costly and diplomatically unsustainable. Algeria risks sinking into a crisis that benefits neither its international credibility nor regional stability, and even less its domestic stability.
The involvement of the American special envoy in the region, the discretion regarding the Sahara case in Algerian communiqués, and the King of Morocco’s speech all point to the same reality: the status quo can no longer continue.
The generous and wise royal appeal is indeed a last chance offered to Algeria to escape the deadlock, avoid international political embarrassment, and preserve some dignity for its leaders.
By opting for dialogue, Algiers would also save face internally, with a population that has been fed a hatred of the Kingdom for five decades and sacrificed for a cause that brought only misery and disappointment.
What does the population feel when it sees mercenaries occupying part of its territory, parading at its expense, pretending to lead a bogus “republic”?
The international context, with major actors clearly engaged for a pragmatic resolution, reduces Algeria’s room for maneuver.
Will Algeria seize this opportunity to redirect its policy, or will it continue a costly and potentially harmful strategy?
In that case, there will be only one loser: Algeria.
The regional and international momentum is accelerating every day in favor of the Moroccan proposal. This is the meaning , and only the meaning, that should be given to the Throne Day speech of the King of Morocco.

The food had just arrived, a bucket of figs, submerged in cool water to shield them from the heat, when the boy entered the narrow street. Confused and burning with anger, he broke the peace that had settled over the biggest ape.
“Come here,” said the biggest ape, voice low and firm.
He reached into the water and extended the boy a fig.
“Take this.”
“I don't understand...” the boy muttered, lowering himself onto the carpet. Grief and rage glowing through his eyes.
“You can have more,” answered the biggest ape.
A long pause followed. The ape measured every words carefully as the boy's tears drew sharp lines across his face.
“Listen,” he said at last.
“To understand life, you must see death.
To understand light, you must see darkness. To understand justice, you must see injustice.”
The biggest ape then ran a single finger across the still surface of the water, the motion briefly parting it into two.
They ate in silence.
In the distance, a ship was leaving the harbor, its sails taut with wind, its trail splitting the ocean.
*Such is the nature of understanding: fleeting borders in the mind of God.*
