As Pluralone said in another thread, it isn't, and only living all of it will make us whole and help us integrate all parts of ourselves. We need to be firing on all 7, not spluttering along hoping that we're doing better by ignoring the parts of our engine that are holding us back.
Good point... We should definitely let go of these types of prejudices. Not just in chakra's by the way. There's the conception that our angelic nature is somehow better than the animal nature. And the conception that our rational mind or ego is somehow less than our spiritual intuition...
Only when all systems are integrated and working together in unison can the individual truly approach wholeness... And only from this personal wholeness can universal unity be approached. Any sort of preference or value judgment in my opinion is in the end an imbalance.
Music and play is an excelent and safe way to explore the parts of us that we are prejudiced against. I loved your story Alex, that Deicide was really extreme in your mind. But that this is also one of the qualities that caused you to really dig it. Opposites just attract.
And yes, it is really extreme from a theistic point of view.
Homi cide means killing a man. Dei cide means killing a God. There's no way around the extremism of the music. Then again... It's just art. I would personally not invest too much time on learning all the chakra's and correspondences. They're just a system. There's at least 5 different chakra systems. When you're writing you're not focussing on your hands. When you're walking you're not focussing on your feet. It's good to know how they work. But knowing this is not relevant in actually using them. If you want to learn how to use your hand... Just do it...
If you want to psychically see something. Don't focus on your third eye... Focus on what you want to see.
