Chakras and Psychic Centers: Are They The Same?
Chakras and Psychic Centers: Are They The Same?
A student, rises to address the Forum as follows: "When I first joined the Order I made the mistake of using the term chakra, not knowing that the Rosicrucians use the term psychic center instead. The member to whom I was speaking tried to convince me that what Rosicrucians call psychic centers are not the same as chakras. However, I am not convinced. Is there really a difference?"
In approaching an answer to our student's question, it is important to realize that from the beginning of time, all creation has been supported by two great principles. These two principles are known under many names but for purposes of our present discussion are referred to allegorically as the Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Life. In the human body, these two principles are associadated with the brain and nervous system on the one hand, and with the heart and circulatory system on the other.
According to Rosicrucian philosophy, there are certain points in the human body at which the enormously high frequencies of the psychic self are stepped down in order that the energies of the cosmic realm may become useful to man on the physical plane. Insofar as the human body is concerned, these points of contact between the psychic and physical worlds are referred to collectively as psychic centers and are associated with the activities of certain glands.
From a physiological point of view, glands are of two kinds, namely exocrine and endocrine. All glands produce secretions which have important influences in the workings of the body. Exocrine glands release their secretions directly onto the surfaces where they are to exert their influence. Endocrine glands, on the other hand, release their secretions, known as hormones, into the bloodstream which then takes them to all tissues of the body. There is no function of the body, no activity within the cells of the body, including the replication of DNA itself, that does not come under the direct or indirect influence of hormones. Psychic centers are associated with endocrine glands and are, therefore, the governors of all activities in the body.
On the other hand, chakras are defined as centers of force at which energy flows between the psychic and physical bodies of man. On the strength of this limited definition it would appear that there is little or no functional distinction between psychic centers on the one hand, and chakras on the other. However, according to the experts, chakras are seen as "saucer-like depressions or vortices" in the surface of the psychic body. Each chakra gives the appearance of being composed of petals with a stem extending inward from the surface of the body and finally making contact with certain nerve ganglia of the sympathetic arm of the autonomic nervous system. The overall appearance is, therefore, that of a number of flowers having their stems firmly rooted in the sympathetic nervous system.
From an esoteric point of view, the nervous system is a vehicle by means of which man may eventually gain mastery over the forces of Nature. By the phrase "gain mastery over" we do not mean to imply dominance in the sense that man will learn to use the forces of Nature in no matter which way he chooses. Rather, this phrase is intended to mean that man will learn to bring his personal, individual will into harmonious relationship with the Cosmic so that "the forces of Nature will be happy to do his bidding," as is promised to each Rosicrucian Neophyte.
The physical body, as a manifestation of the law and order of the Cosmic, is therefore the great crucible in which this Great Work is to be wrought. And the nervous system is the vehicle through which we will each eventually learn how to bring our individual consciousness into harmony with the Cosmic Consciousness manifesting in every cell of every tissue of the body.
For purposes of our discussion, the nervous system of the human body may be divided into three functional segments, namely cerebrospinal, which is associated with the objective/subjective phase of consciousness; the sympathetic nervous system which is associated with the subconscious phase; and the parasympathetic nervous system which is associated with the cosmic phase of consciousness. According to this scheme, then, chakras are associated with and reflect the workings of the subconscious phase of mind which, according to Rosicrucian philosophy, is the essential mind of the psychic body. This subconscious phase of mind is amenable to suggestion and it is by faulty reasoning that we, through autosuggestion, unconsciously interfere with the harmonious functioning of the subconscious phase of mind.
The challenge to each student on the Path is to so organize his or her relationship with the activities of the subconscious phase of mind that it becomes a true vehicle for the Cosmic Mind which is immanent within it. The discipline leading to such a harmonization is called mysticism. Naturally there are different paths. In the Hindu system of chakras, the path to illumination involves a technique commonly referred to as "raising the kundalini."
Kundalini is considered to be a force or energy which resides in the chakra at the base of the spine and represents the basic energy of the body. It is referred to as a fire which is in striking contrast to the energy or vitality entering the body from the sun. Kundalini is, therefore, an energy of negative polarity as compared with the positive polarity of Nous which enters the body with each breath. From a Rosicrucian point of view, then, kundalini is predominantly spirit energy which we know is not absolutely negative but only relatively so. Strictly speaking then, kundalini has little to do with so-called sex energy with which it is associated in the minds of some people.
Kundalini is conceived as being dual, consisting of a positive, masculine polarity, and a negative, feminine polarity. When the kundalini is raised, the negative polarity is thought to travel up the left-hand chain of the sympathetic nervous system. This left-hand chain is referred to as the Ida. Analogously, the positive polarity of kundalini is considered to travel up the right-hand chain of the sympathetic nervous system, while a mixture of the two polarities travels up the canal or chamber in the spinal cord. The right-hand chain of the sympathetic nervous system is referred to as the Pingala while the canal in the spinal cord is referred to as the Sushumna.
In their raising, the three streams of kundalini are considered to travel upward from the chakra at the base of the spine to make contact with, and to vivify in turn, each of the other chakras along the path, and eventually resides within the crown chakra at the top of the head. In this process the entire nervous system, including the brain, becomes highly sensitized, with the result that the individual becomes receptive to a greater range of vibratory frequencies than before.
However, because of the dangers inherent in this "rite of passage" from one level of psychic sensitivity to another, the neophyte requires the guidance of a guru who is experienced in such matters. The Hindu approach to enlightenment, therefore, concentrates upon improving the sensitivity of the nervous system, thereby expanding the activities of the Tree of Knowledge. What, then, of the Rosicrucian approach?
The Rosicrucian approach to enlightenment is reflected in the ancient injunction: "Science without conscience brings nothing but ruin to the soul personality." Science here refers to acquired knowledge, while conscience refers to that inner knowing, that cosmic knowledge that resides within each of us and is reflected in the activities of the Tree of Life. For this reason the Rosicrucian way is referred to as "The way of the Heart" and begins with the God of our Heart.
From the Rosicrucian point of view, enlightenment is irrevocably linked to one's conception or experience of the Infinite. Thus, rather than focusing exclusively on direct sensitization of the nervous system, we bring our efforts to bear on how best to harmonize our individual consciousness with the Cosmic Consciousness of which we are a part. It is this constant striving to evolve the character and soul personality that leads inevitably to the necessary and concomitant sensitization of the nervous system and the accompanying increase in psychic sensitivity. In this way the Tree of Knowledge is harmonized with the Tree of Life. This process of harmonization is directed by the God of our Heart, the ultimate guru, rather than by someone external to ourselves.
Thus, a second point of distinction between the Rosicrucian system, based on psychic centers, and that of the Hindu, based on chakras is as follows: While the Hindu approach requires the guidance of a personal teacher or guru, the Rosicrucian depends only upon the God of his or her Heart. In this manner the neophyte takes conscious control of his or her evolution and develops a partnership with the Master Within which is the only true guide. It is through the Master Within that the functions of the psychic centers are harmonized, with the concomitant increase in the sensitivity of the nervous system.
Is it to be taken then that in the Rosicrucian approach there is no altered flow of energy among the various branches of the nervous system? In order to approach an answer to this question, let us take a brief look at the polarities existing in the autonomic nervous system.
First of all, it should be realized that the various segments of the nervous system manifest an inherent duality. Thus, there is the right-hand chain of the sympathetic system which is associated with energies of a positive polarity, and the left-hand chain which is associated with energies of a negative polarity. The parasympathetic nervous system is likewise dual, consisting of nerve fibers which arise within the upper portion of the brain stem, and nerve fibers which arise within the lowermost portion of the spinal cord. Hence, the parasympathetic system manifests a vertical, top-to-bottom division while the sympathetic system manifests a lateral, right-to-left division. The two sympathetic chains are located between the top and bottom sections of the parasympathetic system, and appear to be associated with the body's right-side-to-left-side electrical polarity. In an analogous manner, the two poles of the parasympathetic nervous system may be associated with the body's well-known head to foot electrical polarity.
Many members who follow only the Rosicrucian approach report experiencing an energy flow starting at the base of the spine and rising up the spinal column. In some cases the energy flow is experienced during the meditative state and travels up the spine to lodge at a point in the forehead between the eyes. In no case has there been any report of fear or discomfort associated with this energy flow. This energy flow may be a reflection of a greater harmony or increased resonance between the two poles of the parasympathetic nervous system. On the other hand, there have also been reports from students who have attempted to mix the Rosicrucian and Hindu approaches. Such students report a sudden, violent flow of energy starting at the base of the spine and rushing toward the brain. These students invariably report fear, sometimes terror, and generally seek the aid of the Council of Solace.
Thus, a third point of distinction is that, insofar as enlightenment is concerned, in the Rosicrucian approach not only is the nervous system of the student sensitized, but the consciousness of the student is gradually and naturally expanded so that evolution of the soul personality occurs in an orderly, harmonious manner. This gradual, orderly approach reflects the Rosicrucian point of view which holds that there is no quick way to mystical illumination, for true knowledge is to be found in the Tree of Life which is not amenable to sudden and violent shifts in its activities.

The energies of the 2014 Horse Year
The energies of the 2014 Horse Year – celebrated on Chinese New Year this Friday – began coming in soon after January 1, initiating a new cycle that will impact you and everyone you love.
Decisions you make in any new cycle are important, for they can have a profound impact on the rest of the cycle. The decisions or choices you make now, as the Horse Year begins and unfolds, can be even more significant than those you made in 2013 – impacting you in big ways throughout 2014 and beyond.
In this article are some tips to help you make these crucial decisions with empowerment, and to begin the year on a high note.
What you will find in this cycle are many new opportunities and doors that were not open to you before. Choices involving new people, new projects, and new directions will be coming fast and furiously.
~ Noticing Open Doors
The key to accessing them is staying awake and conscious – noticing the doors as they open so you can take action. That action will always involve choice and you want that choice to come from conscious awareness. Remember: even taking no action at an open door is a choice.
To make the best choice, you must be clear about what you want. That takes mastery. You are learning to differentiate between what your conditioned ego-self wants and what is in your highest good to want.
You must be grounded and in your heart to make the optimal choices. It’s not enough to mentally say that you are in your heart – you must truly reside there and operate from there. That sounds easy, as though intent were enough. In fact, it involves great skill and lots of practice.
In 2013 you may have become impatient, frustrated, or perhaps disillusioned with your pace of progress. Even the most advanced spiritual practitioner can become impatient at times!
Indeed, over the past year, patience has been an important quality for divine changemakers like you. If you are like most people, you had a roller-coaster ride of stops and starts and waiting in between.
~ The Difference in 2014
There is a lighter, more inviting tone in 2014. This year, it will still pay off to be patient, but you may find forward movement easier to contemplate and achieve.
The contemplation part is important – you must know in a clear way specifically what you want! It’s not enough to say you want abundance or a new relationship. Also, it’s useless to approach intentions by noting what you don’t want. Be specific and positive.
Compared with previous years, the energies of 2014 will involve more movement. That means more ups and downs, more twists and turns, and more peaks and valleys. The energy of the Horse Year is all about movement, journeys into new territory, and an intense desire to be free of past limitations.
~ A Relentless Undercurrent
In fact, you may often experience this desire as a relentless undercurrent – feeling that you and the world simply cannot change fast enough. To sure, it will be a time when you will feel passionate about changing the status quo – whether it’s involving your work, relationships, your body, or how you live.
Passion is a good thing, of course. The key will be discovering how to channel that passion in positive, constructive ways. After all, a Horse Year comes with a lot of fire and this energy must be managed or it can become destructive – either to you or to others in your life.
~ Riding the Waves
As you look around, you will notice that most people are not good surfers of energy – they do not feel comfortable riding the waves. When a spike of energy occurs, they are thrown off course.
What you want and need now is a way to ride the waves with confidence and courage – even though you don’t always know where they will take you next.
Of all the years to date, 2014 is the one when you have the most opportunities to make significant changes that alter the course of your life.
What will make these shifts so important is that they are foundational, addressing the root of your being and how you express it in the physical world. This is the kind of change you have longed for – it is what spirit is nudging you to dive into with both feet. No halfway diving – you are a divine changemaker!

VIBRATIONAL THOUGHTS
Your vibration is not just the thoughts in your head
Many of you are encountering some difficulty applying Law of Attraction. Perhaps you are getting success in some areas and limited success in others. Some of this confusion comes with the use of the word “thought.” And so it is important to know the thoughts your (LOA) teachers are referring to are not just the thoughts in your head. That verbal, analytical, heady kind of stuff is only a small part of what you are thinking. There is a swirling vortex—an amalgam—of thought-modulation of Source energy that emerges into the physical world as you. The part of it that makes its way into your gray matter upstairs is more like an imprint of what’s really going on with you. Your brain is more like a receiver of thought rather than a generator of thought in this regard, and it receives only a limited slice of what you are thinking in total.
And when you try to alter the course of your total-thought-being with just the stuff that’s going on in your head, then you are trying to steer with the tail. It’s like trying to move a chair across the room by grasping its shadow, or trying to board a boat by stepping on its wake. The thoughts that you are consciously aware of in your head are more like the wake of a boat that has already passed.
“But how do I access my thoughts then if not by thinking them?” You access the deeper levels of your thought by engaging your whole body in the process. Your body is a billion points of consciousness that have agreed to be you. You cannot just think the thoughts in your head; you must think them with your whole body.
So when you visualize, imagine, script—whatever is your process for conscious creating—do it vividly enough that your body is engaged. You have to feel those thoughts. Imagine so thoroughly that your body loves to be there too. Just saying a few words in your head won’t cut it. You’ve got to feel them at the depth of your soul, with the very core of your being, deep in your gut, the hara center of your body. Then the signal you are sending out to the Universe is unmistakable. “Ahhhh! That’s what you really want,” the Universe says. And the Universe will yield to your vibrational request every time.
Namaste,

MY ABUNDANCE
Thank you angels for the signs , ideas, and guidance for me to fulfill my life purpose at the same time I prosper.
I give service to the world promoting heaven on earth (wisdom, love, freedom, peace...) and I receive a fair share of abundance to maintain my basic needs.
I am a channel of the divine! I am abundant! I live a life of service and joy!

WAKE UP
Are You Ready to Wake Up?
Wake up!
Those two words encompass an entire philosophy of life. According to the ancient seers, we are asleep, dreaming that our day-to-day world is all that is. And that who we are – who we really are – is much more than our familial and societal roles, much more than our occupation, bank account, politics, gender, marital status, or sexual orientation. More than our history as a victim or perpetrator.
There’s a wonderful little story about Buddha:
One of his students asked him, “Are you the messiah?”
“No,” answered Buddha.
“Then are you a healer?”
“No,” Buddha replied.
“Then are you a teacher?” the student persisted.
“No, I am not a teacher.”
“Then what are you?” asked the student, exasperated.
“I am awake,” Buddha replied.
What does it mean to be awake? It means that you have done the inner work to clear out the old beliefs you unconsciously absorbed while growing up – the ideas you may unknowingly hold about yourself and the world around you.
It means that you know how to process and release the emotions that flow through you rather than trying to ignore or bury them. When you don’t acknowledge your jealousy, anger, shame, guilt, and all the other emotions we all experience, they fester within and turn toxic; the distorted energy can affect your ability to be healthy, to be fully alive.
You are awake when you are available to experience all that life holds.
It means you understand presence – the state of being where you live in the present moment, the here and now, rather than being bogged down in the past or wary of what the future may hold. Presence is the ability to listen with full attention and compassion. The Dalai Lama, who radiates presence, has said that his religion is kindness. How simple, and how totally present!
Waking up also means that you awaken the innate gifts you have… and yes, you have the ability to go beyond the veil of illusion that is the seemingly rock-solid wall of physical reality. You can nurture and practice seeing more than the eye can behold, hearing sounds that the ear cannot hear, sensing beyond what can be touched. Haven’t you ever had a strong “gut feeling” that kept you out of danger or helped you to avoid a destructive relationship? Or knew who was calling before you answered the phone, or thought of that person before the phone even rang? Where did that come from?
Most of all, wake up from the dream of separation. You can awaken to Oneness. We are not separate from each other, or from any other part of the universe. Humanity desparately needs to wake up from the collective nightmare of “the one with the most toys wins.” Greed, on a personal and corporate level, and the arrogance of mankind in believing we are somehow the top of the evolutionary ladder, has brought the world nuclear catastrophe, endless war, environmental distress, and a host of societal ills like homelessness and starving children.
In the words of a little three-year-old friend, who has clearly heard her pre-school lessons: sharing is caring.
It’s time to wake up to who you are. You will be happier, healthier, more content with your life, more aware of your purpose here on earth, and a blessing to all around you.

GROUNDING
The Gabriel Messages #26
Dear One,
Grounding excess energy means being aware that any time you are feeling anxious, angry, fearful or over-excited, you are experiencing excess energy in your body which can be consciously redirected. This energy is very potent and can be used in a constructive way.
A metaphor might be useful. In electrical terms, it is necessary to have something called the "ground." For instance, in a house there is a grounding wire which connects to the earth so electricity flows in the proper circuits. It is similar with your body. You are receiving energy from the Divine Source at all times. There are perfect channels in your body for the energy to flow through. If you are not grounded, that is, if you are so caught up in your mental activity that you are not consciously aware of your connection to the earth, this energy can flow into channels that may feel uncomfortable. It can then circulate through your nervous system, over-stimulating your mind and causing anxiety and other mental imbalances. When you notice yourself feeling upset and anxious, it is very helpful to remember that you have feet as well as a head.
Practice
Your feet are in touch with the earth, a place of bountiful supply and nourishing energy. When you are aware of the earth's presence, you feel supported and nurtured. You can visualize energy leaving your feet or from the base of your spine like moving beams of light into the earth. This will allow the excess electrical energy in your mind to dissipate.
It is also important to calm your emotional body. Just as the mental body is electric, the emotional body is magnetic. This means that your emotions have the power to attract to you what you are experiencing through the Law of Attraction. Many times what you attract is the opposite of what you think you want to have in your life. It is important to ground these excess emotions as well. On the electrical beam that grounds into the earth, you can wind a coil for the magnetic energy of your emotions. With your intention, you can send these excess emotions into the earth.
If you have trees, mountains or bodies of water near you, it can be useful to see these as places to ground excess energy. You can visualize light beams radiating from your feet, powerful light cords from the base of your spine, or pillars of light from heaven to earth; whatever image suits you. This is a very simple but powerful tool for you to use.
As you become more aware of this grounding process, you will begin to be more present in the moment. Being present means bringing an open heart to wherever you are and whatever situation is challenging you at the time. When your heart is open you are able to make decisions from a place of love and not fear. As more people do this, the consciousness of the whole planet is raised. As more minds are consciously connected to the One Mind, all are blessed and can live more freely in love and peace.
You can be a part of this peace-filled evolution with the choices you make every day. Choose to live in love, not fear. Notice when you are running anxiety or anger through your body and are feeling "over-amped." Take the time to send this excess energy into the earth with a prayer asking to experience only love. Know that all on earth are blessed when one person chooses to open his or her heart in love to another. Know the earth is blessed when you give energy to her, so in turn, all will be blessed as this great planet gives back in sustenance and life.
In these simple ways you can bring peace to the world when you...
Ground any excess energy such as fear, anxiety or anger into the earth and bring an open heart into the present situation.
