Excerpt
CHAPTER 1
Part One The Meaning of Life
"You are not a human being in search of a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being immersed in a human experience." — Teilhard de Chardin
There is a wonderful story that has been told for generations about a man who stepped out for an evening walk, only to come across a man searching for his keys under the streetlights. He offers to help him search and so they get down on their hands and knees. After a long while, the passer-by asks the man, "Are you sure you lost them here?" to which the other man replies, "No, but there is more light out here under the streetlights."
It is common to only give our attention to areas of our lives with which we are familiar, rather than to grope around areas that are foreign and uncertain, even if they hold the answer. What prevents us from moving forward, is our lack of understanding our true identity, and fear of what we might become if we allow ourselves to embrace the unknown.
So where do we begin? Knowledge is the key. Every great leap in human development has come about through a new understanding. This book deals with the fundamental questions we must resolve, in order to set a new intention for the evolution of humankind. No matter who you are, which country you live in, or what beliefs you hold about life, the one mystery that all humanity and all generations share, is one of identity and purpose.
ChakraKey provides us with a wondrous yet logical explanation of who we are, and why we are here. Our purpose in life is clearly found in our human spiritual design.
Who am I?
Who are you?
What is the meaning of life?
I am ... you are ... we are all spiritual beings having a human experience.
As spirit beings, we all have a body.
We are two dynamic creations within one body; one is seen, the other is unseen.
The human body provides spirit with a vehicle for its expression, and a medium through which to shine. We are spiritual matter, drops of Divine energy seeking to shine the light that is within us through our physical/spiritual existence.
Our exquisite bodies are animated by the unseen electromagnetic energy of our spirit selves. We are so completely perfectly made; that we are often unaware of our Divine nature.
What is the meaning of life? As spiritual beings, we are here as students and teachers for the purpose of inner personal growth, spiritual evolution, and to be expressions of our Divine nature. As a diamond has many unique facets of light, we are many unique facets of spirit, manifesting light in our own unique ways.
Knowledge is power. We are empowered by spiritual awareness. Once we discover the truth of our human identity, we can understand why we behave, feel, and act the way we do. It is only after we understand the nature of our physical / spiritual relationship that we can take control of our bodies, our emotions, and thus our lives. It is through spiritual awakening that we can establish new motives and objectives for our lives. This recognition begins the real point of change in our lives. Once we know, we begin to grow.
Black, white, red, or brown, we are all made with the same building materials; we feel the same pains and strive for the same love. It is time for us all to realize the unity we share, that we might increase our radiance through an ever-expansive love for one another. Our common goal is to raise consciousness within the human family. We are all here for family; to love, to be loved, to learn, and to grow.
We come into this world as students and teachers, each with a unique perspective and lesson plan for our life. As we grow in life, love has her way of crafting us into the unique flowers we are destined to become. We are all in transition. As students, we accelerate our lesson plans by:
• Understanding the nature of our bodies
• Understanding the nature of love
• Understanding our spiritual nature
• Choosing to love and to be loved
• Making decisions based on loving intuition
• Discovering God's love in all things, every minute, and everywhere
The goal is to expand awareness.
We do better, when we know better.
The Menorah: The "Divine Pattern"
"And in the midst of the seven candlesticks, one is like unto the Son of man." (Revelations 1:13)
The menorah is the Hebrew term for the seven-branched lampstand. The Bible tells us that God revealed a specific design for the menorah to Moses and describes its construction. (Exodus 25:31-40)
31 "Make a lampstand of pure, hammered gold. The entire lampstand and its decorations will be one piece – the base, center stem, lamp cups, buds, and blossoms. 32 It will have six branches; three branches going out from each side of the center stem. 33 Each of the six branches will hold a cup shaped like an almond blossom, complete with buds and petals. 34 The center stem of the lampstand will be decorated with four almond blossoms, complete with buds and petals. 35 One blossom will be set beneath each pair of branches where they extend from the center stem. 36 The decorations and branches must all be one piece with the stem, and they must be hammered from pure gold. 37 Then make the seven lamps for the lampstand, and set them so they reflect their light forward. 38 The lamp snuffers and trays must also be made of pure gold. 39 You will need seventy-five pounds of pure gold for the lampstand and its accessories. 40 Be sure that you make everything according to the pattern I have shown you here on the mountain.
The menorah the Bible described has many features not shown in the above illustration. There was more to that menorah than we may ever know. What we can see however, that is meaningful, is the Divine pattern illustrated by the branches. The significance of the menorah design becomes apparent, when an image of the lampstand is turned sideways and placed next to an image of the human chakra system. The center mast of the menorah clearly aligns with the heart chakra, and the branches align with the upper and lower chakras. When we apply Hindu wisdom of the chakra system to the candles, we are provided with an educational tool we can use to gain a better understanding of the energetic design of our human spiritual body. In essence, we are given a picture of how the spiritual body interlinks with the physical body.
Arch of Titus
The Arch of Titus, shown above, is home to one of the earliest stone carvings of the menorah. The relief can be seen in the upper right-hand corner of the arch.
The Roman soldiers above are shown carrying the seven-branched candelabrum or menorah through the streets of Rome after the Jewish defeat in A.D. 70. It is one of the earliest recorded menorah designs available today. Note the large central staff supporting the six branches.
The menorah is the key to one of the greatest mysteries of our time, and it has been hiding in plain sight for thousands of years.
Chakras 101
The man sitting above illustrates the general location and color of each of chakra. ROYGBIV is an abbreviation for each color. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet
What are chakras? Chakras are unseen energy centers within each human body.
Unlocking the mystery of the ChakraKey begins with understanding the basics of chakras. While modern seekers have some intuitive sense of our inner design; our knowledge is but foam on the ocean. As energetic human beings, we are very powerful; so much so, that new imaging systems are able to photograph the human aura and chakra system. (For more information about these systems see Chakra Imaging Systems.)
The word chakra is Sanskrit for the word "wheel," so named by Hindu mystics who were able, during mediation, to observe spinning vortices of light energy within their bodies.
• Each human has seven major chakra centers.
• Each chakra has a resonant energy. We are able to measure this energy as a color.
• Chakras are not part of the physical body. They can move around as our energy moves.
• Chakras are intersecting energy points of the subtle body the masters call, "nadis."
When a human body is healthy, energy or prana from the seven chakras runs freely throughout the body, just as water runs through an irrigation trough. If one of the channels is blocked, we can become very sick and even die. While the chakras are a mysterious aspect of our human nature, they cannot be denied. We can measure chakra energy with electronic equipment and see them with sensitive cameras; however we cannot identify a physical part of the human body and call it a chakra.
"Prana is the basic component of your subtle body, your energy field, and entire chakra system ... the key to life and source of energy in the universe." — Shumsky
Where are the chakras? The spinal centers, or chakras, are found at the points where tributary streams of energy (prana or life force) from the body, join the awakened, upward flow of energy in the deep or astral spine. The astral, or energy, spine is not the backbone (those knobs that can be felt along the back), but runs more or less through the center of the body. Energy flows through the central nervous system and through the astral spine. In our un-awakened state, the main energy-flow is downward, away from the brain, and outward to the organs and limbs. — Savitri Simpson, Chakras for Starters
Understanding the human chakra system is fundamental to personal development. While some things in life are obvious to us, such as our five senses, some very important functions of our bodies fly below the level of our consciousness. The chakra system is one of the most important features of our bodies, yet the subject is not covered within our institutions or acknowledged by doctors.
Could you imagine trying to fix a computer control system on a new car without a blueprint or any knowledge of how it works? Our chakra system is like a computer control system in a modern car, only much more complex. As a car has many systems for the engine, brakes, and lights, a human body has seven major systems.
The ChakraKey and ChakraSynergy symbols provide us with new information about the design of our energy bodies that is beyond intuitive reasoning, until you see the design and then it all makes sense.
How does the chakra system affect the body? Each chakra is associated with one of our seven glands. Glands secrete hormones into the bloodstream as directed by thought, via the chakra system. If our lives are in danger and our greater thought is to run, energy is channeled into the root chakra, energizing the adrenal glands to secrete adrenaline into our bloodstreams so that we might run to escape from harm.
Each of our chakra centers serves our bodies for a specific purpose. Each color carries a unique wave pattern and intelligence. Together they enable us to survive and to flourish as human spiritual beings. We are designed to be the accumulative expression of our chakras. As we evaluate our physical and spiritual design, it becomes clear that love is at the heart of the matter.
Chakra Awareness Exercise
Although chakras are invisible to our physical senses, we are able to perceive each chakra center if we take a moment to consider them. Use the exercise below to feel and experience each chakra center. Direct your attention to each chakra to feel the energy.
Crown chakra – Close your eyes, bring your attention to the top of your head and feel the energy. Rest for a moment in prayer with gratitude for your life and say, "thank you." This high center is our spiritual antenna and point of connection with the Divine.
Brow chakra – Once again close your eyes. Bring your inner gaze to the space between your eyebrows and visualize a waterfall. Can you smell the mist and hear its sound? All of the activity of seeing, hearing, smelling, thinking, imagination, and creativity happen in this center.
Throat chakra – Now bring your attention to your throat area and say something, or sing a melody for a moment. Feel the energy in your throat chakra and chest area. How vital is this center to our life experience? Our inner power is manifest through our voice.
Heart chakra – Now think of touching or holding someone you love. Can you feel this energy in your heart? The heart is our most powerful center. We know love because we can feel it. You can send anybody love energy even if you do not know them. All you have to do is just think of them with your loving intentions.
Solar plexus chakra– The Solar plexus is located just below your rib cage. Bring your attention to this area and imagine you have a pocket full of money. Think of the security and confidence this energy brings you. Money equals power and security and feels good.
Sacral chakra – One only needs to mention the word sex, to drop into this low center. Feel the energy here. Can you feel its power?
Root chakra – Now bring your attention to your lowest center, and imagine having to run for your life for some reason. Can you feel the energy of fear coming from this area? We are mostly unaware of this most important and powerful center, yet our greatest drive is to survive.
Finding your chakras is like finding a new group of friends; one primal, one sexual, one powerful, one loving and compassionate, one communicative, one thoughtful, and one spiritual. The ones we give our attention to, get our energy. As we grow in awareness of each center, we can chose to spend time in centers that best serve our greater health, wealth, and joy. We can consciously choose love.
Where your attention goes, your energy flows.
Manage your attention, manage your energy.
What are Chakra Drives?
It is only after we understand the nature of our human spiritual design that we are able to transform ourselves into fully integrated spiritual beings.
What are drives? The term drive gives us a word picture to help us understand the driving propensity of each chakra. Each chakra is a powerful energy system for the body, and each system serves a specific purpose. Like a hard drive within a computer system, each chakra carries resonant energy and stores memory. Given our great drive for balance, each center records everything associated with each particular drive, so we might survive and thrive as a species.
It's hard to fathom the nature of our inner programming. While we are here on Earth to live, to love, to learn, to grow, and to express, we first must survive in what is sometimes a hostile environment. To do all of this, our creator has given us a control system with seven primary drive systems. Below is a list of each chakra's natural drive.
Root chakra – Drive for survival
Sacral chakra – Drive for sex and pleasure
Solar plexus – Drive for social power and to maintain resources for survival
Heart chakra – Drive for love, compassion, harmony, and balance
Throat chakra – Drive for communication, inspiration, logical understanding
Brow chakra – Drive for intuition, knowledge, wisdom, perception, and balance
Crown chakra – Drive for spirituality, freedom, wholeness, and enlightenment.
We are complex creatures, yet we manage seven powerful centers without much effort, awareness, or difficulty. We are only able to ascend into the higher chakras once we are safe, fed, warm, healthy, and in a loving environment. These basics are fundamental to inner personal growth.
What Are Human Preferences?
A preference within a computer system is a setting that allows one to establish a preferred method of operation for a particular piece of hardware or software. A human preference is something we prefer for some reason. Our preferences become our habits and our habits define our lives.
Early in life, we begin to determine what we like and dislike. Some of our preferences are established for very good reasons and others are based on bad information. For example, imagine for a moment that you are a young child who is given milk with sugar in the baby bottle. While the sweet milk tastes delicious, the sugar in the milk can lead to tooth decay and other health problems. Your mother unknowingly has helped you establish an unhealthy preference for sugar. Not all things that taste good are good for us, even though they may seem so on the surface.
