The Law of Responsibility

[Infinite Unity]

That does not describe how things have gone for me over the years.  It's not been an ad seriatum advancement.  Most often I've been tossed back again and again into the same territory (organized around themes such as green ray activation), only my conscious perspective (and ability to participate) has broadened slightly each time.  As the perspective broadens, elements on many vertical levels can mature or unfold simultaneously because the greater the balance in my heart, the more effectively the pre-existing higher level activations can be supported.  Therefore, the stage I am in currently (just to specify an example) is pretty darned close to where I was in the previous cycle awhile back and pretty close the where I'll be in the next one.  What seems to develope over time is my ability to encompass and balance it consciously.  Although one could view it as a linear progression, it feels more like adding rings of growth, like a tree, except that the next stages are here already, all wiggling next to all the others, invisible to me, but simply further reaches of the by-now-apparent design.

No doubt there are larger scale stages of growth beyond this, but on the scale of this particular incarnation, this is how it's been thus far...more or less.

Going back and forth would simply mean that the lessons were not properly learned and their meanings manifested. OR, alternatively, the walk forward was rushed. Which then, in itself, would become another lesson - not to rush.

Then again, varying in between this and that imbalanced states and learning to balance things is a lesson in itself.

As always, spiritual pathways and progress are complicated and specific to each person.

However law of responsibility always in effect.

Yes, that was my point.  If the energy is not being heavily expended at orange and yellow levels and there is an interest in allowing it to vivify the green, then one's perspective on the inter-relatedness of all things becomes, not an abstract concept, but a moment-to-moment guiding principal in one's experience of Creation.  Perhaps.

Each energy is a valid, fundamental part of nature and they must be learned and manifested properly. the purpose of orange, yellow, is not to raise to green and vivify it. the purpose of orange and yellow are to manifest exact nature of these energies, and even when vibrating in green, the meanings of these energies will still be present in the now active green ray. and so on.

each stage of existence must be acknowledged and manifested properly and fully.

I agree, activating green does not de-activate lower chakras. Those energies are still apart of the marmalade, and it is wonderful. Trust me, when those lower rays are balanced and flowing. You will love them, and want more.
