In my opinion, both over active chakras and under developed chakras cause a diminution in upward flow, the first by sequestration of energy and the second by restricting capacity for flow.
Quote:I believe that opening the lower three chakras would be equally important for both STS and STO. The difference is what happens at the next higher chakra. STO would try to open the green ray next, and have all balanced; while STS devalues the green ray, and tries to skip over it to the higher centers.
Yes, but important for different reasons. Here's my take this, stretching out the analogy: In the red ray garden, an STO aspirant would try to maintain an adequate balance of sunshine, water, earth and the like. For a skillful STS type, the red ray is one of the most important because it provides the greatest amount of raw energy. Therefore the goal would be to exaggerate the flow and learn to ride the imbalances. The problem there is that insanity is a very likely outcome of such efforts because unbridled unconscious power is a lot more disastrous than it looks. For the STO adept, this area is enhanced as needed in conjunction with work higher up. (This acts as a safeguard.)
In the orange ray garden, where the STO entity might be growing veggies and such (fruits, nuts, flakes), the STSer will have a pot & poppy garden. This is to say, STOers will be working on lessons of harmonious self-definition while the others will be seeking ways to manipulate and gain advantage. Anyone can be given to putting too much energy into interpersonal conflicts (with a parent, for instance) and either type could be closed down interpersonally. Again, the STOer will use this as catalyst to learn about harmonization (acceptance, etc.) and the other, lessons of self-supremacy. In between, the majority will be running from pillar to post, lured by sweets and fleeing toads.
Meanwhile, in the yellow ray patch, similarly, the STO entity will be using socially-oriented catalyst to learn lessons of harmonious, collaborative being while the other will be busy manipulating his fellows as much as possible to feed his need for power. Again, most of us will be rooting, planting, watering, etc. in a disorganized fashion. (Does the latter sound familiar? It does to me.)
As for the green ray center, STSers do, actually, use this--for fun and profit--but in a different way. They may play on love of the tribe or country or on loyalty to the group. Ability to do this can add significantly to their magnetic appeal. If it's there and it has power, why not exploit it? Of course, in playing their hand ("HH") this way they're throwing away the most satisfying card. But they'll have a chance to pick it up off the floor at a later time. According to Ra, once they plug that "card" into their system and their circuits recalibrate, they become hyper-active zealous converts immensely excited to share the good word of more clearly approximating the vibration of the one Creatrix.
