The last of the Crown Chakras.
Probably my favorite of the video's I've done although probably not as interesting because there was so much that I covered in the Govern's section. Here is the Mountain Top Chakra. An intimidating prospect but if you've worked through the prior levels you should be ready to meet your Higher Self. I really enjoyed making the Chakra series. In some ways I'm sad to see it end and on others I am ecstatic they are over. I think they are a tremendous contribution of the experience and knowledge I've learned. Of course, these are the Chakra's according to me (and I'm not someone trained or certified by someone else...just a lone wanderer for whom this approach worked) based on a few resources. I know to the major skeptics and to the people who think the Chakra concept belongs only to the Eastern Belief System don't really care about the resources but, hey, when I earned my degrees if I submitted a paper with only one Source or, heaven forbid, based on opinion I would have gotten an F. I agree there is safety intellectually in numbers but as Thomas Campbell points out in his Big Toe series...the fringe are usually the ones who actually create innovation...when you're in the mainstream ideas move extremely slowly. Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed this Journey through the Chakra Systems. I had a lot of fun making these detailed videos and a lot of great Feedback from people which was totally awesome. I appreciate those who take the time to express their appreciation for what I have done. The next Map of the Pyche that we are going to explore is the 7 cards of the Tarot that Represent the Spiritual Path of the Seeker. That's going to be a fun and unique journey I haven't really seen anyone cover on YouTube. Thank you again for Joining me on these adventures and have a wonderful week!

Commonly called the Third Eye Chakra this chakra is not as exciting as people think.
To really reap the benefits of this chakra people need to work on the other chakras first. Sometimes, this chakra is open and functioning, as was my case, but because of other issues I had not dealt with (Shadow issues and inner child issue originating in the lower chakras that were closed) it lead to a lot of misunderstandings...and fear. At this point, when you can see clearly you're no longer letting your emotional attachments dictate to you how to interpret your subjective reality. The old baggage that you had learned or picked up earlier in life that gave your life context to interpret has been stripped away. Now you can look at a situation for what it is...not what you think it should be or how it would be ideally...but as it is in reality. When you see a situation clearly it can help you become detached. Again, detachment is not a bad thing...it just means that you don't hold onto ideas or things that are unnecessary or bring you grief. Most of us hold onto ideas that are negative because they are familiar and have been the primary way we have interpreted our reality. Since we have done our work with the previous chakras that is no longer the case. Take for example a typical work situation. I used to get so caught up and freaked out when something changed at work. Once I did some inner work I realized that those changes had nothing to do with me. I couldn't and shouldn't resist those changes...but instead learn to go with the flow with a flexible and adaptable approach. Then I realized that the company I worked for had a tendency to change everything every three months. Core items stayed the same but the layout changed every three months (this is typical in retail) so there was no reason to get excited or upset about it...that was simple the normal ordinary boring cycle. When people complain now I just shrug...that is how it is and if someone can't accept it they simply should get a new job. On a business level it makes perfect sense as they keep things interesting for every season on a superficial level so that the customer is engaged mentally by a changing landscape every time they come in ...but to the people on the ground level that have to do the grunt work it appears to be an exercise of futility. When you can detach and step back from a situation to act as an observer you see the situation more clearly. As long as you are emotionally involved you cannot see the picture clearly or logically. If you haven't dealt with your shadow you may even run away from looking at some situations. The ability to step back into the observer role, in effect, is the super power of this chakra. Now when I say super power...I'm just saying it's a heightened sense anyone can develop in an exciting format. I would never have been able to create my YouTube videos if I hadn't done the work on the other chakras and developed this chakra. No can I also 'tune in' and read people's energy when I look at them? Yes, and I'm note sure if it involves this chakra or not. This is just something that spontaneously occurred. I always knew I had the ability but I didn't have clear enough sight to understand what I was sensing. I would project all sorts of other stuff onto people.
Each time I make one of these videos it's a journey in and of itself.
I think that's why I enjoy these so much and as I go through and unload my knowledge of these topics I find that I have a tremendously lighter burden. Almost by sharing it in this space and on my YouTube channel I feel lighter. Part of that is because I love to share these on websites and what not when people have questions. They become tremendously helpful to refer others to when they are asking for help. Strangely, when working on this YouTube video I experienced a bit of a block. This block didn't really come from anything in particular. I just didn't even know how to begin this chakra and then when while working on it I had a heck of a time recording the audio. There is a low buzzing sound in the background because the one opportunity that I had to record was while my husband was running the AC. I also had one of the nightmares about fish that I mentioned before while working on this video...I continue to work on expressing my truth which is a *huge* lesson in this life for me and will probably continue to be something I work on in personal relationships. This is such a powerful chakra. There is so much that can be accomplished and can transform a person's life when they work on this chakra. I can't even express how amazing it is to me how my life has changed by working on this chakra and realizing that I need to speak up often and constantly so that people don't trample me to get their desires met. The last two weeks have been transformative for me as I shift into a new gear and a new way of being. I hope all of you are having similar experiences and I am sending you a lot of love.
This video was a bit hard to make this week.
A terrible tragedy occurred that nearly obliterated my ability to think straight. Luckily, that situation is improving dramatically so for now things are stable. To discuss Will Power and not really discuss Free Will is very difficult! Yet, the two concepts *Are* different in some ways. Will Power is the freedom to choose how to apply energy. So it is like Will Power where we use our energy to reach the outcomes we desire. Yet, will power is a given. Most people will admit exists. Free Will, however, is the question of whether or not everything in our life is Pre-Destined or if every thing was meticulously planned by God so that even though we think we're deciding something for ourselves God made it so we had no real choice. That is an age old philosophical question. In fact, it's one that doesn't have a very good answer and may never be resolved to the point where everyone can agree on it (but that's a tough goal in general- especially in a society trying to seek it's identity right now). I have resolved the question for myself in my personal belief system. The essence of that question lies in comprehending that we are all One. As for the 'Source' there are two parts...one is a latent part that is and will always be the same that exists outside of time often symbolized by the void (Brahmen) and then there is the part that is the active principal (Atman) of which we are a part and that does have it's own conscious awareness that we are plugged into when in Spirit but shut out on purpose during Human life through the process of forgetting. The Atman or active principal part or All-That-IS as Bashar calls it...is learning about it self and always adding to it's information much as Thomas Campbell described it's like a computer system that is the in process of evolving and learning. This two part configuration would cause someone to answer the question, "Is it Free Well or Pre-Destination?" and the answer would be both. If you add to that...that in spirit according to the book Journey of Souls that we, as Souls, before we come into the material realm use a 'virtual reality' system. Much like playing a multiple ending RPG videgame we go through every possible variation of our upcoming life before living it (hence the reason we can have deja vu) as a way to choose the path we prefer to follow and try to remember certain things (such as the person we wish to marry in this life commonly referred to a 'soul mate')...you realize it is almost pre-destination on the soul level but as soon as we get into the material realm and have the block of forgetfulness there is a real unpredictable outcome. I know, that's a lot of information and I could break it down in more detail and perhaps I will do that in a future post. Yet, for me, that the conscious part that knows absolutely everything isn't an active participant in creation solves that issue. Anyways, I hope this video helps you to grow on your personal Spiritual Path.
I'm sorry this was a day late. I had some delays that set me back this week.
I really enjoyed making this video. I am very passionate about the meaning behind the spiritual concept of blending the male and female. I have heard this idea completely misunderstood by the Doomsday Christian Conspiracy Theories. They make it sound as though the male has to become completely female or the female completely male...that's a secret gnostic teaching I remember one Christian railing on about like it would trigger the Apocalypse and when I was working on this I thought of that quote. I thought of all of the people lamenting that there has been too much gender bending recently...especially with transgender bathrooms. Here is my theory which I did not share in this video. The thing is that our world became overly dominated by the straight white male energy. This was completely neccesary at the time for the lessons we were learning in the flesh. Also, it's a by-product of the overly obsessed society we live in that's convinced that *we are our bodies* and not our soul first and foremost. That frightened state of being that gives us *way* too much power as a species and not enough to the One Creator has led to all sorts of dysfunctions and purely animal like tendencies. With the long vision of reincarnation and that we are both male and female this information that I have provided is easier to accept. At the time of Jesus and the early gnostic Christian teachings that were psychological in basis but was completely cut out by the Catholic churches meeting in a very democratic way (we know democracy run rampant can lead to censorship and councils are primarily democratic- just look at the fact Mark Twains Huckleberry Finn is banned from schools). Since we went through a phase where the Catholic and the European Christian Countries killed and conqured all those who disagreed with them (Muslim Terrorisim in these countries sure seems like karma to me) that original state of mind disapeared. Leaving us only with this extremely patriarchial narrow minded short sighted dogmatic literal (meaning not based on the scripture) point of view with which to try to understand these esoteric teaching. Well, why then the surge of recognition in the gay community. Why does Ru Paul have to be out there and be popular (I love Ru Paul by the way- that's one spiritually evolved person!)? Well, women weren't enough to rebalance the energy after the patriarchial domination. We needed a little help and that came in the form of beings that predominately incarnate as female coming in as male. This is why there is so much confusion and unhappiness for these souls. They provide a key balancing agent at this time but it's easy to then go the other extreme and become more overly the top feminine then male which can cause a lot of discomfort for everyone because our society has experienced such strict gender roles for so long. I have stumbled onto this subject, more or less, in the course of my Spiritual Path. I know that it will upset some but I think the beauty of the greater plan is just amazing. Once people lete go of the idea that their physical body with it's physical attributes is not them in any way shape or form it opens an entirely new dimension of viewing reality...of viewing human relationships but for some that's an extremely upsetting prospect. As with all adjustments our society is going to extreme and overboard with trying to even out the energies. That will only happen to a short period of time and for everyone who realizes the bigger picture it will make it easier on the whole.
Well, this is a longer video then I normally do but this subject merits that length.
I thought about breaking this into two different videos but couldn't quite see myself doing it as I couldn't prioritize the information that would make sense and link the two. There is so much material that I covered in here and concepts I didn't really mean to do in this video. I think I will explore the idea of the Shadow a little bit more in depth in a YouTube video of it's own. So, that should be a great deal of fun. I had to pick through -A LOT- of information. I have several pages full of information that I wrote down in my journal about the Root Chakra. Having a week to pick out the major themes was a bit intimidating. I had never really sat down and put it in order but new just a general outline. This YouTube video, however, really wrote itself and at one point when talking about how the Shadow is the opposite gender of the Hero I very much felt like I was channeling. I had to re-record that portion three times so that it sounded like normal human speech. That's a subject I really want to get into on it's own, especially since Abraham Maslow and Joseph Campbell have fascinating quotes on the subject that I have marked in their books. I'm delighted in how this came out. I wish I had taken the time to draw the picture of myself and my inner child instead of just cutting/pasting photos of myself. However, it is strangely effective in what I was trying to get across and for me drawing is a long drawn out process that takes weeks! I'm very satisfied with the end result of this video. There was one thing I would change which was to move Colette Baron Reid's name so it was more centered but after spending several hours on this video and wanting to hit my deadline I chose to let that error go. I also had a error in writing the name of the book by margaret Ann Lembo- It's Crystals, Minerals and Stones. I also misspelled Crystals as Crystals...but again after spending hours on that I was going to be too picky and I figure it just indicates that I'm human. I don't want to be too perfect or high quality. I prefer to look human and have errors. Finally, I forgot to include that in Edgar Cacye On The Revelation by John Van Auken this chakra is symbolized by the calf. That is a foot note. I could go into depth on the entire take on Revelation that Edgar Cacye had but that's been done in other YouTube videos and more importantly the book which I prefer people to read. I hope you enjoy and next week we will be talking about the Sacral Chakra. |
