Sub-Dividing the Chakras

[Ankh]

What I was wondering about for some time is what this "chakra system" really is... Carla refers in her books to it as "energy body". So is it a body? Or is it located in the body?

Ra speaks of it as "energy centers". But where are these energy centers located? In the mind? In the body? Or in the spirit? Cause they can't be located outside the *mind/body/spirit complex* (which would then not be called mind/body/spirit complex, but the mind/body/energy centers/spirit complex or something :p).

My current understanding is that these energy centers are located in *all three complexes*: the mind, the body, and the spirit. What I am trying to say, is that we don't only have "sub-colors" to our main energy centers, but also three so called "chakra systems": one in the mind, one in the body, and one in the spirit. These focuses, or energy centers, channel the light energy, and it is this channeling, or blockages of it, in each complex (mind, body and spirit) which Ra speaks of in the second quote in the first post in this thread.

To back up the above theory, I offer this quote:

Questioner: Thank you. Would you define mind, body, and spirit separately?

Ra: I am Ra. These terms are all simplistic descriptive terms which equal a complex of energy focuses; the body, as you call it, being the material of the density which you experience at a given space/time or time/space; this complex of materials being available for distortions of what you would call physical manifestation.

The mind is a complex which reflects the in-pourings of the spirit and the up-pourings of the body complex. It contains what you know as feelings, emotions, and intellectual thoughts in its more conscious complexities. Moving further down the tree of mind we see the intuition which is of the nature of the mind more in contact or in tune with the total beingness complex. Moving down to the roots of mind we find the progression of consciousness which gradually turns from the personal to the racial memory, to the cosmic influxes, and thus becomes a direct contactor of that shuttle which we call the spirit complex.

This spirit complex is the channel whereby the in-pourings from all of the various universal, planetary, and personal inpourings may be funneled into the roots of consciousness and whereby consciousness may be funneled to the gateway of intelligent infinity through the balanced intelligent energy of body and mind.

You will see by this series of definitive statements that mind, body, and spirit are inextricably intertwined and cannot continue, one without the other. Thus we refer to the mind/body/spirit complex rather than attempting to deal with them separately, for the work, shall we say, that you do during your experiences is done through the interaction of these three components, not through any one.

Any thoughts??
