Confused Wrote:Spectrum, thank you for making that illumining statement. As I was meditating on your words, I felt I should submit the following link for this thread. I personally believe the link speaks to many of the issues that we all are grappling with here, though a prima facie reading may make it look off tangent (imho). I got the link from our b4th member, 3DMonkey (3DM). The link --

Great link! Thanks for that 3DM, I love the analogy of the pools (representing the chakras) connected by waterfalls and channels, and the algae and muck (representing an individual's own emotional debris). We all have our fair share of emotional debris.
Looking at the chakras in that link, the base chakra is of course based on survival and fear, and without opening that chakra, none of the other chakras can be opened. Do you see how detrimental fear is to spiritual evolution? That's why I have this issue with fear mongers and prophets of doom, not to mention the news business, with their slogan "if it bleeds, it leads". All fear.
