Energy centers (the basics) [and advanced]

[dreamoftheiris]

Good stuff.  To me, the act of balancing is to make oneself more capable of increasingly higher and more refined amounts of intelligent energy.  

Our consciousness acts as a type of prism for intelligent energy.  As the energy flows through you, you decide how to direct it.  For most, the energy becomes stuck at orange / yellow and doesn't really move past that.   The light is filtered through our energy centers and our consciousness, acting as a prism, directs the light and displays the energy centers influence.

Once one becomes conscious enough of this process of balancing and energy flow, the choice to move into positive or negative polarity becomes possible.

For the positive, the choice is to open the green and blue ray, leading to the indigo and violet.  For the negative, the choice is to balance the lower enough so that a strong foundation is made, then making the conscious choice to ignore the heart and throat and open the indigo.

I believe this is because compassion and honesty is seen as a weakness for the negative polarity.  

Once an individual makes the choice to go along a chosen path, they then begin their work as an adept.  The work of an adept involves not so much the balancing of the lower (though this still occurs) but more so the exploration of the higher.  For the positive adept, the goal is to clear the blockages to allow the infinite One to move through them.  For the negative adept, the goal is to become as powerful as possible.  To literally become their own god.  


This is where the study of the archetypes becomes useful, in my opinion.  As the archetypes tell the story of initiation.

I agree. I also think the archetypes aid in deepening the understanding catalyst and how to use it properly while also speaking of the necessary changes that take place within the mind as a complex, the body complex and then the spirit complex.
I am not sure which archetypal study you are currently using and I do not think it entirely matters as all three of them are useful for the work in consciousness and for practical living as I apply my study to practical means. Which study are you currently into? May I ask?

I'm using the Tarot currently. I am interested in learning astrology and kabbala at some point as well. Recently, I've been learning more about Alchemy and I've found it amazingly helpful, particularly for the Body archetypes.
