He Who Was Not

[manjusri]

Myess, you and I are saying the same thing although I was much more cryptic. The 5th gate is that of communication, that of the voice, so as you said choosing the "higher" vibrational choice and thus expressing it externally we can effectively transmute internal negativity in to external positivity, which will influence more external positivity.

Indeed, much of which we each feel and think is in fact only picked up from the environment and so we need to be extra careful to be aware of that which is our own.

Earlier I got what you meant by the 5th gate, the throat chakra, but more than one chakra are involved in the work of transmutation, for me it would involve the whole being.

I do not see the need to be careful to know which is of "mine" or "others" because at this point in life I strongly feel that "they" are a part of "me", in all creeds, colours, and orientations. The ancient Hawaiian healing practice Hoʻoponopono keeps popping up in mind regarding this. It was quite difficult at first but when I got the hang of it I just couldn´t stop lol... Cause it really works.
