The Sacred Battle in the Inner Space

" Where does the true power lie?  Is it in the pull of the senses or is it in the call of the spirit?  The greatest power within us is really in our spiritual being. So on this journey of evolution of consciousness that we are on, we need to explore more and more the spiritual consciousness that we have, and spiritual power that is available to us, to deal with this battle of the instincts that we have in the human experience.  The human pull, the material pull, is a very strong one; it is a basic instinct. 

This spiritual journey to our true power is a journey of stages.  In the Yogic wisdom, these stages are called Granthis, or knots.  There are three stages: Brahma granthi, Vishnu granthi, Rudra granthi." Day 25

Each granthi is a doorway into the consciousness:

Brahma granthi - the first stage of the journey - involves the first two chakras, there is a strong pull by the material world, but the spiritual instinct is awakened.  We know that there is more.

Vishnu granthi - the second stage of the journey. This consciousness involves the Manipura chakra, Anahata chakra and Vishudha chakra. Our worship becomes different: we begin to worship the God of love; we begin to worship the God of vitality. But we are still associated with the lower centres; the human world still drives us.

Rudra granthi- third stage of soul development where we pierce a knot between the eyebrows. We begin to be able to see the world differently. For the first time, we begin to look from a different space, a space of co-creation, where we can be involved in the co-creation or we can identify with divinity.  This step is the most powerful step on the journey because it allows us, in the soul consciousness, to bring in soul power that can help to manage the lower chakras.

We are drawn on one hand by the material world and we are pulled on the other side by the spiritual being within us.  This is the human experience. Sometimes it can be a battlefield in the inner space. 

When we begin to understand the journey and give attention to the soul power within,  we begin to work with that Supreme Power inside of us.That is when  intellect and intuition work in harmony.  Then we can hope for the greatest energy, the greatest consciousness in the human experience that takes us to the state of true well-being.  Then we can weather any storm in  life.

Learn to manage the journey with all forces working in harmony.

Take responsible steps on the journey

"This journey to true well-being is a journey of steps. Day 23

On the journey of the chakras, isn't it wise to learn how to improve our vitality as we begin to use lower chakras in the physical experience? Isn't it important to learn all the physical steps to improve our vitality? Isn't it important to learn how to breathe well to improve our vitality? Then as we ascend the ladder, isn't it important to look at our emotional being and try to improve our emotions? Isn't it important as we begin to open up our emotions to learn how to manage them with the help of higher thinking? Then isn't it important as we get into higher thinking to learn how to be stable in the region of higher thinking, by going a step further to that Source within?

Therefore, shouldn't we start with keeping the body healthy and fit with all the information we have? We don't need to have a university degree to keep the body healthy and fit. The body itself tells us how to do that. It tells us how much rest it needs. It tells us how much food it needs, if only we would listen."

This message reminds me of how important it is to listen the body and the steps we can take to bring it to optimal health.The lower chakras help us to keep the body strong, manage our sexuality  and improve our vitality. The higher chakras  help us to manage the mind and emotions.When our inner guide is awakened,we can follow our intuition and work with the intellect to make the body a worthy vessel and a good chariot.

 The journey begins with the first step. Build on it and become stronger.

Make your body 'lifeworthy'

Another interesting message about the human body Day 16  We need to remember that the body is there for a purpose, to serve the soul on its journey to learn and grow in the human experience – to become free. In the same way, if you are on a journey on land you need a roadworthy vehicle, and if you are on a journey on sea you need a seaworthy vehicle, when you are on life’s journey, you need a ‘lifeworthy’ vehicle

The human body is intelligent; it can be trained to be fit , to be strong, to be healthy, to serve our needs as a soul in the human experience.We have to become more aware of our soul power in the chakras and use them to drive the human experience.

We can begin to give attention to our everyday activities such as breathing, walking, speaking,singing, dancing and observe how the energy feels in the body. If you give a little more awareness to what is  happening, and there is any awakening of spiritual consciousness within you, you will begin to realize that more is involved in these activities.

This should encourage you to want to explore some more to really understand and use the powers in the soul to achieve optimal health. It is the most important thing we could do for ourselves, for our greatest wealth is having good health and well-being.

From the ordinary to the extraordinary

We all exist in a Supreme Consciousness that has limited itself and has become us. This is known as the involution of Consciousness which takes place in seven stages. Every chakra holds us in a self- identity and a certain spectrum of energies that we can manifest.Day 13

Chakras are usually described as  lotuses because they open up to light and close in darkness.Each chakra opens up in stages and different qualities are expressed when the chakras are opened as compared to when they are closed.  If we understand the chakras and self-identities generated and their possibilities,we are then better able to manage the human experience in a more powerful and enjoyable way.

Each chakra can be a path to freedom. I think  knowing and working with the chakra system will open up our awareness. It provides us with steps to explore our inner world and to align it with the outer world. I believe that it represents the full spectrum of human possibility that leads  us from the ordinary to the extraordinary.

Over the years, I  have observed changes in myself  and I know there is so much more to explore.I  have realized that I was giving a lot of attention to the upper chakras: the brow, the throat, the heart and neglected  the lower chakras : the navel, sacral and base. Every chakra is important on the journey. So, I have to learn to tap into the power of each chakra to bring about balance, healing and well-being. 

I leave you today with the following:

He who knows others is wise,but he who knows himself is enlightened. ~Lao Tzu
