I agree with what you said!
I didnt want to advertise letting go of "higher energies" chakras and whatever.
I felt it necessary to advertise lower chakra work, since this seems to be strongly under-represented here.
So my post was biased by this (as are most posts i write actually).
I think the "higher work" is beneficial and to a degree crucial, otherwise there cannot be enough understanding for doing the lower chakra work and one can get lost completely in it.
I found however there is a strong refusal to "ground" oneself, for many seekers, also for me.
Then all the higher work can easily serve as an excuse.
The teason i advertise my points so heavily are:
Between 20 and 30 i was very head-heavy, i was heavily on a spiritual path (i thought at least), playing around with ideas, reading, thinking.
I made some progress. Some.
After i turned thirty, i started therapy, started doing breathwork, kriya Yoga and the likes.
I made significantly more progress in weeks then formerly in ten years.
It took me several more years to realize that my intellectualization was my biggest defense mechanism and my by far greatest obstacle in spiritual growth.
It took a while to find the roots of this, to reduce the need for that much control.
I realized that i knew nothing about me. I thought i did, but what surfaced in the following years painted a completely new picture.
I was still very keen on "higher experiences" (and still am).
At some point i opened the gateway to intelligent infinity the first time, which was completely life changing. Throughout the years this was happening more and more often.
It was however mostly by using substances, by means of trance induction or sometimes in meditation.
At some point it would occur quite regularly and reliably.
Then came the point when i realized, yes, i have these experiences. But my everyday life still was an emotional mess, it had improved a lot since i was 30, but still so far away from all these higher states.
At that point i realized how important the lower chakra work is. By doing this work, which i now concentrated on, my life would greatly improve in all areas.
Better relationships, better job, better emotional state and so on.
I discovered and dissolved so many blockages, so many hidden facets of me, that i didnt think would exist.
And slowly my everyday life would be really affected by my spiritual practice. Many of these "higher states" would occur while taking a walk in nature, and by other non-suspicious activities.
I found, a lot of what i was actually seeking (and attributing to "higher chakras") was actually a matter of lower chakras.
Also, i found opening the heart has (for quite some time on the path) more to do with lower chakras than green ray alone.
There is aboslutely no way whatsoever to open green ray if one is unwilling to deal with lower chakras, since every single reason why we in the first place CLOSED the heart lie all and i believe without exception in the lower three.
When we do only "higher work" we will not be able to embody this energy and we will become more and more detached from this earthly plane of existence.
To me its not a question of better or worse, we habe seven main chakras, for a good reason.
My left arm is no better than the right.
In fact i wouldnt want to miss neither of them
So, thats the reason why i heavily advertise
-a more emotional than intellectual approach
-the taking into account that we have hundreds of ego facets we dont even know
-that these ego facets rule us completely until we become aware of them
-some more humbleness, taking into account all the above
As for the difference in the "spirit" part of mind/body/spirit:
Thank you for pointing this outto me. I never thought about ghat. This could be right, i guess.
I will have to investigate it.
I hope i could clarify the meaning and background of what i wrote above a little!
