Simple reconciliation.

[Patrick]

...Thank you! In your opinion are "we" in danger of regression by entertaining this notion of "the other?"...

Not at all.  I find it very helpful to contemplate the concept of "other-selves".  Accepting that each of us truly is the One Infinite Creator helps me greatly along my chosen path.  Each of us being not lesser, not greater, but all equals in importance.

...Is it sufficient to focus on Self love or do we need to re- create "an other" in which to do well by?...

You did create others, so you must have desired it.  Whether you focus on your current self alone or focus on all is the same thing, unless your focus on self is at the expanse of other-selves.  Because to reach one is to reach all.

You can better serve your self and others when you love and accept your self just as you are.  You will know, intuitively, what is the right focus for you at this time.

"...One cannot become able to love others unconditionally until one has forgiven the self. We encourage each to press on towards self-acceptance, self-forgiveness and that feeling that each day is a new one, each moment is a clean and untouched thing..." ~ Q'uo

...can the chakas be resolved by the mind or do I need to actually get in there and create that scenario of blockage to work through?...

The most efficient way of balancing our chakras is by processing everyday happenings (catalysts) in a manner congruent with what we believe is the "right" way for us at the moment it happens.

In other words, there is no need to create the scenario.  You are already living the scenarios you prepared for yourself, based on what you wanted to learn before incarnating.  Every single little things that comes your way is part of your scenario and all you need to do is interact with it, with events, with your self and with others.

It is not the things that you do, not the actual helping of self and/or others, that acts on your chakras, but why you do these things (the reason, the intent).

You may find this session interesting.  The question was: "...we seem to need a sense of self in order to know what it is we have as resource to serve with, and secondly, we would ask if it is even appropriate to concentrate on serving others in our daily round of activities, or is it more a part of our beingness to serve in a less directed effort? What is the true nature of teaching when it comes to serving others?"
