The more attention is given, or the more it is crystallized, the more resistent to contrary forces the fortress is, so that It would take quite a heavy blow or blockage to inflict any substantial damage or change. Am I misunderstanding?
From my perspective, yes, this is a distorted construct. I prefer the analogy of the flute. Each energy center is like one note of the scale. The unskilled player can only play a few notes, and play them crudely. The more adept player can play any note in service to its sense how the Creator would flow through him/her at any moment and not simply rely upon predictable, simplistic patterns.
Say a stranger suddenly approaches you. A less skilled response would be to simply honk out notes of distress and alarm and fear and nonsense. A more skilled approach might be to allow feelings of self-preservation to arise and fall while also sounding notes of concern for the other, social decorum and so forth. So, more free participation of more chakras allows for more articulated participation, and the more poised and penetrating the chakras, the more graceful the response. The main point here is that the idea of a fortress implies non-participation, while the other model implies active participation in the mess of worldly life. Even though it's often a mess, we try to make it a beautiful mess where we can.
