Multidimensional Human; the 'Crown Chakra' - Climbing the Consciousness Ladder

The Sixth Chakra - ‘The Third-Eye’, (governing center of consciousness).

This dynamic spinning wheel of energy sits firmly within undifferentiated awareness.
Here the dance of mind and body move in rhythmic patterns. To enter this portal we
must identify a vehicle that will open the door to comprehension. Tibetan Buddhism
is such a vehicle, it’s practice paves the path to awakening planting the seeds of
self- realization and stimulating intricate qualities inherent within each of us.

Attributes; 6th Chakra:

location; between eyebrows,

sacred geometry; 5 pointed star,

physical connection; pituitary gland,

planetary connection; our Moon,

sound; ‘aum’, (C+)

The Sixth chakra is critical yet merely one link on this daisy-chain of self-
exploration.

Soma Chakra

- is veiled in the shadow of the ‘Third-Eye’. This chakra provides the framework
within which the great seat of Shiva/ Parvati consciousness resides. This impelling
energy represents our inherent animation to create, preserve
and dissolve; the embryos dormant within the ‘Root’ Chakra. The Shiva/Parvati
union is the expression of ‘Knowing, Feeling & Doing’; the emanation of truth,
beauty and goodness. Shiva provides the stimulus to awaken the Shakti and draw
her wisdom into union. When first awakened she is a furious serpent but as she
proceeds upward via the path of ‘Sarasvati’ the ego soon subsides. Sarasvati is the
goddess of transcendent-knowledge, sound, wisdom, cultivation and determination.
The fully awakened ‘Soma’ is the ultimate union of Shiva/Shakti within which non-
dualistic realization is achieved. Such potency is pooled within us in the energetic
union of two brain glands; pituitary and pineal. The pituitary governing the physical
incarnation (method); the pineal establishing transcendent awareness/ awakening
(wisdom).

Attributes; Soma Chakra:

body location; middle of forehead,

sacred geometry; inverted triangle,

physical connection; pineal gland,

planetary connection; the Moon,

sound; ‘aum’,

The Seventh Chakra

Completes the ‘Crown’ triad matrix; physical, mental and spiritual energetic
characters. When these components are
fully awakened they merge into Tantric harmony - all action stops and balance is
achieved. Within this state of unconscious consciousness the complete being is
unified and liberated from the illusion of an individual self. The ego loses it’s
stronghold on the mind and is replaced with compassion and wisdom. Such
understanding naturally provides a context where joy, harmony and serenity can be
experienced and expressed. Techniques to stimulate this chakra vary but whatever
path you choose it is essential to allow this spiritual connection to open naturally.

Attributes; Crown Chakra:

body location; top of cranium,

sacred geometry; a lotus whose petals are fully opened,

planetary connection; Universal,

sound; ‘aum’ (the universal cord),

The Eighth Chakra (transpersonal)

Enter the realm of transcendence and the consequence of descriptive conundrum.
Any word or concept used to describe this state of realization will ultimately
diminish it’s understanding. It can only be defined in approximate terms, ‘that-
which-it-is-not’. To willingly step into such an undefinable realm requires a ‘leap of
faith’, yet it is just such a step that provides freedom from the suffering. The
conscience mind falls into six categories. A Being’s point of departure on the path
of transcendence is depend on where his/her reality dwells: Hell-Being, someone
living in a torturous reality; Hungry Ghost, a being that is confused/empty; Animals,
beings not processing human self awareness; Human, just enough identity to
question existence; Titans, powerful beings in a constant state of dissatisfaction;
Gods, a blissful experience within the perimeters of phenomena. Debarkation onto
the path of transcendence is therefore realized within six emotional states;
destruction (death, guilt), entrapment (desire, fear), release (courage, trust),
transformation (acceptance, harmony), revelation (unconditional love) or
transfiguration (joy).

The character of this sublime journey is elementally the same; a natural unfolding:
Earth Element; here the edges of our conscience are hard, viewed through veils of
fear and frustration. As awareness matures this melts into Water Element; fluid
patterns of opportunity and trust intertwine with experience. Water dissolves and
Fire Element ascends, knowingness without sensory impute in turn merges into
Wind Element were energetic packets of boundless compassion take flight and fuses
with Luminous Element a realm of vastness devoid of matter. Here harmonious,
inexhaustible love of bless evolves into Radiance. Within this province spear energy
disappears into Dark Light. Description no longer applies as conscience of Self ends
and vanishes into Transparency; The Buddha Mind. This is our collective destiny, the
pure land we only catch glimpses of from our time/space learning tree but from
where we have come and to were we are evolving to.
