Significance of the Petals

[Plenum]

in the following passage, Ra describes the appearance of the chakras when they have been 'crystallized'.

is there any significance to the shapes/facets?

51.8 Questioner: What do you mean by crystal structures?

Ra: I am Ra. Each of the energy centers of the physical complex may be seen to have a distinctive crystalline structure in the more developed entity. Each will be somewhat different just as in your world no two snowflakes are alike. However, each is regular.

The red energy center often is in the shape of the spoked wheel.

The orange energy center in the flower shape containing three petals.

The yellow center again in a rounded shape, many faceted, as a star.

The green energy center sometimes called the lotus-shape, the number of points of crystalline structure dependent upon the strength of this center.

The blue energy center capable of having perhaps one hundred facets and capable of great flashing brilliance.

The indigo center a more quiet center which has the basic triangular or three-petalled shape in many, although some adepts who have balanced the lower energies may create more faceted forms.

The violet energy center is the least variable and is sometimes described in your philosophy as thousand-petalled as it is the sum of the mind/body/spirit complex distortion totality.

Ra offers this in the previous question:

As the entity develops the higher energy centers, however, these centers will then begin to express their nature by forming crystal structures. This is the higher or more balanced form of activation of energy centers as the space/time nature of this energy is transmuted to the time/space nature of regularization and balance.

I am still wondering if this 'regularization and balance' quality from time/space has any significance in and of itself.

ie, do the 100 facets of the blue energy center mean anything in and of itself? or is it just what it is?

[Plenum]

one may also classify these energy centeres according to their female qualities (numbers 2, 4, 6) and the masculine qualities. (the rest)

The 'Feminine' Energy Centers

2) The orange energy center in the flower shape containing three petals.

4) The green energy center sometimes called the lotus-shape, the number of points of crystalline structure dependent upon the strength of this center.

6) The indigo center a more quiet center which has the basic triangular or three-petalled shape in many, although some adepts who have balanced the lower energies may create more faceted forms.

here we have a repetition of the number 3 in two of the chakras. The heart chakra seems to be indicative of the number of connections (the strength) that one has to others.

The 'Masculine' Energy Centers

1) The red energy center often is in the shape of the spoked wheel.

3) The yellow center again in a rounded shape, many faceted, as a star.

5) The blue energy center capable of having perhaps one hundred facets and capable of great flashing brilliance.

7) The violet energy center is the least variable and is sometimes described in your philosophy as thousand-petalled as it is the sum of the mind/body/spirit complex distortion totality.

the theme of multiplicity seems to be common here.

I've not been able to find any source of info that is similar to Ra's description of the chakras, even though the sources I have found describe their color/shape/petals at the same level of specific detail. Anyone know of a match?
