Quote:i dont think its right to call downflowing energies energy of the adept. its the emanations that are flowing in from everywhere within creation
The crown chakra is the chakra of the totality of self, where one in microcosm is a god.
The root chakra is, as has been explicitly said, where energy comes in from cosmos in macrocosm.
Thus, the energy downflowing from the crown chakra is conscious, of the self, wheras the upflowing is unconscious. In fact, there's another quote even more explicit than the ones I've shown.
Quote:73.8 Questioner: Then will you speak of the difference between the spiraling light that enters through the feet and the light invoked through the crown chakra?
Ra: I am Ra. The action of the upward spiraling light drawn by the will to meet the inner light of the One Infinite Creator may be likened to the beating of the heart and the movement of the muscles surrounding the lungs and all the other functions of the parasympathetic nervous system. The calling of the adept may be likened to those nerve and muscle actions over which the mind/body/spirit complex has conscious control.
Thus, even if you do not accept my other logic, that because throat is the primary chakra of spirit, and the function of spirit is to integrate the downpouring and upflowing energy,
There is still the fact above, that downflowing is conscious, upflowing is cnoscious, and the function of spirit is to integrate these two energies, and as wikipedia says, the breath is one of the few bodily functions controlled both consciously and unconsciously.
