Chakras

The line and the circle – the building blocks of chakras

One of the best ways to understand chakras is through the relationship of the two fundamental geometric shapes, a straight line and a circle.  Chakras are circles aligned along the vertical axis. We’re going to look at this relationship is in a couple of ways. The first is simple geometry.

The line starts off as a dot.  When using a compass, we find it in the middle of the circle. The dot can stretch from the center to the edge creating a line. Or it can move vertically upward establishing a sphere and by going beyond the edge create a spiral. The. se are the basic structures of chakras.

The skeletal structure or scaffolding of our chakras starts with quasi-material known as ether. Ether is self-luminous and intelligent and sentient. It is the bridge between pure consciousness and matter itself. Without ether matter could not organize itself on any level from molecular to galactic. All life-forms started out as ether: crystals, plants, insects animals, and humans. All are based on sacred geometry that starts with the circle a line.

The circle has always been the ancient basis for architectural design. It is from the circle that we see the creation of what is known as sacred geometry. The best example is a beautiful pattern of interlaced circles commonly referred to as the flower of life. This design is the basis of ancient architecture from Egypt to China and over centuries  European churches and cathedrals.

 

The entire universe is contained within our chakra system: the outer and the inner and the mirco and the macro reflect and support each other. To understand this in depth, I can offer you the reader my perspective that is grown over the course of five decades that I divide into three sets:   7 body, 7 transcendent and 5 super cosmic chakras. They are thus 19 plus that we can access. I say 19 plus because there are more than seven personal chakras in the body.

One very important fact has to do with the way we perceive reality and brain function. As I present my ideas you the reader are using both hemispheres of your brain. We know that the left cerebral cortex analyzes things and perceive them logically on as if on a straight line going from one point to the next. And this is how we think of the future that we are going forward from moment to moment and place to place.

The left cortex is a driving force as to how we set goals and achieve them. This is also the side of the brain that is developed through literacy. The influence of reading itself, looking at little dots along a horizontal line, a line that is not smooth and continuous, made up of broken dashes that appear as letters and words is a major influence in how we perceive the world. We project a linear concept horizontal flat line from birth to death that did not exist in preliterate cultures. Unfortunately this creates a sense of disconnection from life. It is this level of abstraction and disconnection that dominates modern life. It that nagging logical part of us challenges the experience of the circle which is wholeness and interrelatedness that is a domain of the right side of the brain.

The obvious conclusion is that in order to experience our chakras system we need to fully enter the circle by activating the right side of the brain.  This side of the neocortex has a direct relationship to your midbrain and to the physical heart.

three sets of chakras

the body chakras

Your major chakras work as a system. Everyone has stronger and weaker chakras. We can work with them individually it is best to work with the system as a whole network. Chakras run along the vertical axis. This is the first polarity to strengthen.  Start by opening your root and crown chakras. They create the flow of energy in the vertical axis that feeds the other five.  Scan your chakras to see which one or which ones are deficient, because chakras influence each other.

the Transcendent chakras

The transcendental chakras are set of  centers above the body.  These are the chakras of your Higher Self.  Imagine a holographic version of you standing on your head with another set of chakras not affected by daily life. Each of these chakras is paired with one of more body chakras and can expand and re-energize them. It is through these chakras that we experience ourselves is more than this incarnation and indeed one with the universe.

the Supra-Cosmic chakras

Here we begin to experience the raw material of both consciousness and matter. They operate in curvalinear and truly  magical ways.

The infinite point

The unlimited creative potential with many names:  Source or God or Creation. It is like an intensely brilliant fixed star just that arms reach above you and at the same time in the very center of our universe.

The window of Allness

The Window of Allness surrounds our universe suspending the Infinite Point in its center.  It expands outwardly beyond our universe into parallel time lines  and inwardly manifesting as “mind over matter”, instant healing, teleportation, and trans-dimensional shifts.

The inner chamber of the heart chakra

This is the Hridya chakra, a Golden Temple.  This is the residence of  Divine Consciousness found in the center of the chest a bit below and just behind the Anahata Heart chakra.  Like gold itself, it is “undefileable” and thus a refuge.

Chakras differ from culture to culture

The term chakra, wheel,  comes from India.   Their yogic system recognizes seven major chakras and five minor ones. All of them look like flowers that face forwards.  They contain geometric shapes, Sanskrit, and images of deities.  Tibetan Tantric Buddhism utilizes five or six flowering chakras pointing up or down along a central channel.  Their chakras have different number of flower petals than in India.   Qi Gong in Chinese Taoism acknowledges three dan tien. These appear as energy filled spheres that are vertically aligned: two inside the body and one in the head.  All these systems are valid.
