This symbol is the Symbol of the Ascended Masters, Uma and Brahman, The Soul of Our Transcendental Creator.  Uma and Brahman are the Ascended Masters associated with the third chakra above the head in the Transcendental Creator.

The secondary symbol of the Soul is called the Eternal Breath. This symbol is also called the Caduceus. The Breath of the Eternal Symbol shows the path of breath and Prana as it flows through the body. The breath enters at the nose (head of the two serpents-Ida and Pingala). The Prana of Breath then winds its way down around the chakras to the base of the Kundalini and enters the Sushumna at the base of the spine and rises up through the chakras on both the Conceptual Vessel and Governing Vessel.

This diagram shows some of the many Japanese versions of the Soul Symbol. The Japanese name for the symbol is Hon-Sha-Ze-Sho-Nen. The Japanese versions are used in Usui Reiki for distant healing. This diagram also shows the common element in all the symbols and  how it relates to the Eternal Breath Symbol. All of these symbols work. Their energy is increased when the knowledge of what the symbol represents is understood.

"The Upanishads" is a classical text written in Sanskrit. It means Breath of the Eternal.  "The Upanishads" contains some of the teachings of the Ascended Master Brahman and his female counterpart Uma.  They teach us the depths of the transcendental heart within, which is the meeting place where the Highest Source meets with each one of us. 

Once the gods won a victory over the demons, and though they had done so only through the power of Brahman, they were exceedingly vain. They thought to themselves, "It was we who beat our enemies, and the glory is ours." 

Brahman saw their vanity and appeared before them. But they did not recognize him. Then the other gods said to the god of fire: "Fire, find out for us who this mysterious spirit is." 

"Yes," said the god of fire, and approached the spirit. The spirit said to him: "Who are you?"
"I am the god of fire. As a matter of fact, I am very widely known."
"And what power do you wield?"
"I can burn anything on earth."
"Burn this," said the spirit, placing a straw before him.

The god of fire fell upon it with all his might, but could not consume it. So he ran back to the other gods, and said: "I cannot discover who this mysterious spirit is." 

Then said the other gods to the god of wind: "Wind, you find out for us who he is."
"Yes," said the God of wind. "As a matter of fact, I am very widely known. I fly swiftly through the heavens."
"And what power do you wield?"
"I can blow away anything of earth."
"Blow this away," said the spirit, placing a straw before him.

The god of wind fell upon it with all his might, but was unable to move it. So he ran back to the other gods, and said: "I cannot discover who this mysterious spirit is."
"Yes," said Indra, and drew nigh to the spirit. But the spirit vanished, and in his place stood Uma, God the Mother, well adorned and of exceeding beauty. Beholding her, Indra asked: "Who was the spirit that appeared to us?"

"That," answered Uma, "was Brahman. Through him it was, not of yourselves, that you attained your victory and your glory."

Thus did the god of fire, and the god of wind and Indra come to recognize Brahman. 

This is the truth of Brahman in relation to nature: whether in the flash of the lightning, or in the wink of the eyes, the power that is shown is the power of Brahman.

This is the truth of Brahman in relation to man: in the notions of the mink, the power that is shown is the power of Brahman. For this reason should a man meditate upon Brahman by day and by night.

Brahman is the adorable being in all beings. Meditate upon him as such. He who meditates upon him as such is honored by all other beings. (Kena Upanishad)

This Brahman, this Atman (self), deep hidden in all beings, is not revealed to all; but to the seers, pure in heart, concentrated in mind- to them is he revealed. (Katha Upanishad)

In one's own soul Brahman is realized clearly, as if seen in a mirror. (Katha Upanishad)

Man does not live by breath alone, but by him in whom is the power of breath. (Katha Upanishad)

Elihu taught; he said, In ancient times a people in the East were worshippers of God, the One, whom they called Brahm (Brahman). Their laws were just; they lived in peace; they saw the light within; they walked in wisdom's ways.

But priests with carnal aims arose, who changed the laws to suit the carnal mind; bound heavy burdens on the poor, and scorned the rules of right; and so the Brahms became corrupt.

In the darkness of the age a few great masters stood unmoved; they loved the name of Brahm; they were great beacon lights before the world. They preserved inviolate the wisdom of their Holy Brahm, and you may read this wisdom in their sacred books.

In Chaldea, a pious Brahm named Terah lived in Ur; his son was so devoted to the Brahmic Faith that he was called A-Brahm; and he was set apart to be the father of the Hebrew race. And records of his life and works and of his sons, and of the tribes of Israel, are well preserved in Jewish sacred books. (Aquarian Gospel 10:1-6&15)

If you gain the whole world and loose your soul what have you gained? (Bible- Matthew 16:26)
