It feels like I’m about to Launch. I think with a few contracts clarified, a production assistant can meet me any time, in Portland, as easily as Southwest offers pretty darn cheap flights to here. I almost even got my nails done today. I have a number of projects going, taking on more of the archetype of the performer, that has seemingly wanted to come out for a few years now. But now, chakra-synthesis literature, by request.
On the chakra level one: basic needs; food (covered)/ shelter (mostly covered)/ safety (mostly covered), but given the “mostly”, that means that I am still in need of this level of support, thus the job interviews/auditions of chakra level one work, which ties in closely with advertised-dollars per (sponsor) presence that can run in the millions (chakra level 7) and ‘any minute’ in the circuits that I roll with, who might recognize my talent for drawing people in better than others. It is curious the level of competition on this level of functioning.
On chakra two, anatomically located in the reproductive organs and symbolized by the color Orange, and qualities of Domesticity and family, I bought new jewelry for my navel piercing today, for the first time in 13 years. And boy is it sparkly. 5 black and white stars attached by sapphire ball to 14G purple metal barbell with purple opposing ball. I love it. I have offers for chakra level two up the wazoo. My current partner understands this system better than most. ~Sacred and Dangerous~ was a term that came up in a stage communication today in the astral living room. I like the folks I’m domesticating with at the moment.
Chakra level three is about the community. Symbolized by yellow flowers and the solar plexus, this is the spiritual organ that Rudolf Steiner connected as lotus with 10 petals. People functioning on this level are able to work. People too affected by social stimuli and other “mental illness” are not seemingly able to work very well. This is usually service-industry folks, not that that isn’t just their day job as they aspire to utmost heights in an art form. I feel loosely connected with my community here. There is some fracture on the issue of permanence. In LA, I’m chakra 3’ing just fine. I love you too, LA.. And if the Amero thing happens, It’s likely gonna have some very logical structure around the value of human labor tied in with agriculture and other economic standards tied in as well.
Chakra four is identified as the 12 petal lotus, in spiritual science terms. Love is the emotion most commonly associated with the heart region. There is a lot of interesting anatomy in the chest region that correlates with the pathology of the leading health risks in our culture. There are various emotional~spiritual~mental exercises that one can do to activate this spiritual organ. I think of the love on chakras 1, 2 & 3 as different than level 4. Vocationally, people who function on this higher chakra level are more educated, more bureaucratically distributed, and teachers, nurses, higher service work.
Chakra five is represented by the 16 petal lotus, the color blue, is centered at the throat, anatomically symbolized by the thyroid, which is shaped like a butterfly: a common image for creative energy. This is the creative will. People functioning on the level of the creative will are often working and involved in entertainment, politics, higher education, research & development. Interestingly, this is represented by the voice and in higher paced industries, people are in constant communication. Intricately tied with the Pituitary Gland, a gland that isn't as clearly understood in the chakra system I've been describing.
Chakra six is located at the Pineal gland, represented by the 3rd eye in a variety of symbolic systems and active on the surface of the body on the forehead. This is the spiritual level of Insight, represented by the color Indigo. People functioning on the level of seeing into systems are likely Intelligence operatives and other well-paid consultants. I heard that creational ability was about linking the spin of the 5-6th chakras, and in this way, it looks like the pituitary is functioning as a 5th chakra center (perhaps 5 1/2?) in a figure 8.
After learning about astral projection, I put together these concepts of esoteric anatomy, "will" = intention, creativity and control, and walking through a barrio one day, I taught some random 9 year-old kid how to hold his mom up like a dog by the scruff for self-defense. There is also sacred geometry associated with the chakra energies and the pyramid is the form associated with the 6th. In Steiner’s system, he said this is the two petal lotus.
Chakra 7 is likened to a 1000 petal lotus, the color purple and the spiritual concept of knowing. The highest pharoahs, priests and similar cultural archetypes would be expected to function on this level. It could also be likened to the presence of royalty and celebrity that inflates that socio-economic group to a very high earning potential. Living Art is what I theorized once.
The first three chakras are sometimes grouped together as the ‘lower’ functions and “other animals” can socialize and mate on these other levels, but it would seem that humans become unique, in consciousness terms by the functioning of the 4th-7th chakras. And survival is reasonable when the first three layers of being are taken care of, but survival doesn‘t require higher functioning and this is an issue in society not working as well as it ideally could. The higher functions are often underdeveloped or extinguished in psychosocial circumstances that are common, leaving people functionally/mentally less equipped to handle the challenges of life.
In my synthesis work, of understanding the multidimensional system of existence, as I have learned about human nature from Biology, Shamanism and Spiritual Science, I have also trained a bit in psychology. I have found much to learn from the Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, as I see how the layers of his psycho-social model correspond to levels of spiritual and emotional development according to spiritual science, that is influenced by eastern concepts through theosophy and the chakra system. Understanding these layers to how people operate and make decisions is interesting, as I people-watch and contemplate on what economic level a community might be functioning according to the services it is able to support.
So I think there is a way of objectively quantifying human labor resources along lines of value of a service to a community, taking into account the difficulty in educating to higher levels and giving to the community on rare levels, attained through psycho-social and spiritual development. The actual available resources for supporting a level of development vary and the same person can function on a 5-7th chakra level and suspend other activity, in energy-shunting ways, to achieve more on those levels. Or someone can devote themselves to a physical movement practice and ground into the body, when they may have previously indulged on creative insight for a project that required a lot of energy in the higher centers.
