My philosophy on the chakras.

[Adonai One]

I don't care about them anymore except for specific diagnosis in situations of identifying energy visuals in meditation or if I am having prevalent unresolvable issues. To me they are like diagnostic LEDs on a machine. If I can't fix the machine following common sense principles, then I will try to specifically diagnose it.

The chakras don't define us. We define the chakras. You're not going to fix your life simply focusing on a single chakra. You have to live it.

If you are feeling pain in your life, you're fighting against something. Find out what you are fighting first and try to resolve that. If you can't, then go to your chakras to see where the exact problem is in your life. It's all about unity/disunity. The farther you are into unity, the happier you feel. The more you resist yourself and your environment, the more pain you feel. I encourage you to work off this principle before getting into the technicalities.

Now while your points are understandable, remember as your title implies this is your philosophy/opinion on this matter.
Now, my understanding is that once the chakras are cleansed and activated to a certain point, communication is possible. By that I mean the chakras are alive and are beings in their own right, I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss their potential. By addressing a certain chakra of an issue/imbalance it is possible to be given a very quick and effective answer of a way to address the issue. This helps the diagnosing process if you're into that kind of thing.
I think the chakras are an integral part of a person. A person defines their chakras but is also defined by their chakras.
Your points about unity being the cause for an individual's happiness kind of disregards the fact that every mind/body/spirit complex is unique in it's distortions.

You can accelerate growth by an insane amount by working on your chakras.. Although not just by any method. There is a point in the lower sacrum responsible for self love.(remember how all is one) The type of self love that does not take from others. When this area is filled with energy, it will successively move energy upwards, throughout your entire spectrum.

I have used this method in varying degrees of dedication over the last 12-14 months, the latter 6 being more consistent. My personality has evolved drastically over this rather short period, along with my overall mood and well-being..

I should clarify that what I mean by 'communication' is that an individual is capable of talking to their chakras.

ummm chakras can immediately tell me what something is like right my my yellow still feels really urpy

power and control, just woke up and i'm having basil seed with rose drink flavor.. and i'm thinking becausei 'm not getting up to shower to eat breakfast i'm not necessarily in control.

of what it is i want to get done, cause i'm sitting here writing this. but i enjoy reading what people say.. it's a connundrum

I feel that a good metaphor for the chakra system in our biological body is like a crystal dividing White light in to a colour spectrum. the power of Consciousness is like universal electricity. It is neutral in nature, and depending on the appliance you get different expressions. This is reflected in astral body as well as biological body.

Butterfly expresses butterfly consciousness
Donkey expresses donkey consciousness
Human expresses human consciousness

so i was watching this movie called life of pi and in one part of the movie i think it was like why did god create all these imperfect manifestations of himself

automatically to experience all facets of itself is the answer i knew. i wish it was in the movie but. oh well

[Hototo]

Cant wait to tell you about the liddle people who popped out of my chakras and I spent several weeks talking with. Oh wait. I already did.

[BlatzAdict]

you guys can't forget that the orange builds on top of the red, yellow builds on top of orange, green to yellow, light blue to green, indigo to light blue, and crown to indigo


now if i can play a little mad libs here: you guys can't forget that self love builds on top of the security and survival, power and control builds on top of self love and security, unconditional love develops after power and control, self love, and security.

Communication and wisdom as a result of unconditional love p and c, self love and security

spiritual awareness develops as a result naturally past the level of the 5th cycling or activation into the 6th

and the connection to intelligent infinity is ultimately matching your individual vibrational frequency to the creator frequency more and more

it's a soul thermometer...

adonai you're right in the sense but it's not one or the other it's the balance found with the knowledge contained in both sides.

[We are God]

It is useful to note that the chakras become less material and more empty the further from the base they are, all the way from completely material to completely void.

And as Blatz notes, the higher chakras are built upon the lower ones. You can't work on the higher ones without the lower ones, too. If you're stepping on the 7th step of a ladder, also step on each step below it at the same time, so to speak. I hope this makes sense.

My old boss had little black demon things come out of his root area. Just like everyone else that knew about it, I mocked it. Years later I come to understand a logical explanation for the things that I am not always aware of, and find that he is actually not crazy at all.

X-Character
Also known as batsu-chara.
If the egg's owner is burdened by worries and doubts, the egg will turn into an X-Egg and eventually hatch into an evil and aggressive X-Character and go rampage with its powers. Their owner is usually their first target. These characters are usually much stronger than their egg incarnations.

Because they are still connected to their owners, they can sometimes express their depressions through the X-Characters.

I bet they went all black and repeated "impossible impossible" where ever they went... Muri Muri (Been hearing lots of Muri's lately)





Though they are easy to clear with an open heart. Anyway, carry on.

Intense focus on one type of work is not optimal (like JUST chakra balancing). It'll be like only having a hammer in one's tool bag and so all problems look like nails and you start hammering everything.

In therapy, for example, we look at the problem/issue, needs, and readiness (for change) to consider appropriate intervention for the client. In this moment in time considering the factors involved what is the best and highest good for client? Having several avenues or tools for healing/balancing seems like a good idea. Someone from this forum found balancing chakras to be significant in his healing. That is great.

Working with chakra reminds me of a type of treatment called BioFeedback, which is commonly used for treatment of physical pain and anxiety disorders. The key being awareness of what is happening to mind and body (psychology is still mind-body dominated).

Two thoughts:

1) I don't know the exact behavior "chakra balancing" refers to as used by all of you guys, but ray balance and un-distorting as described by the Ra material is a fundamental aspect of spiritual evolution. You can stop at rough balance, but you also can continue to balance and brighten your rays infinitely, and this can be a primary means of evolution. Certainly however, directly attempting to balance your rays via energy isn't as long lasting as attempting to balance your rays by incorporating the appropriate beliefs concerning the particular sub-aspect of love the ray entails. It's definitely good to have more than one tool, however, as I'm learning as I'm going through the tarot. The easy of use of any given tool is also particular to an individual. I've found it super easy to tell energetic differences in my rays, whereas some others can find it more difficult. Thus, I'm naturally drawn to picking this tool more often than not, due its effectiveness and ease of use. But I'm also looking to add more tools, and gain familiarity with them. Variety is the spice of life, right?

2) In individual cases, chakras can be much more than feedback devices on balancing. In my case, I definitely have some sort of pseudo-psychic/pseudo-channeling green ray ability. I don't think I'm supposed to know who exactly is communicating through it, but I believe my green-ray energy activates when I'm getting a message from my oversoul.
