THE CHAKRAS AS FOCI
OF GOD CONSCIOUSNESS
Only the light-bearing consciousness of the heart
will carry the subtle body into the higher realms.
—El Morya, Heart
The chakras are the sacred centers of light in our electronic light bodies that are keys to our health and vitality. They are foci of God Consciousness, of our higher Solar awareness, which allow the light of our Presence to be anchored within and flow through our auric fields. When we have balanced and humming chakras, there is a greater flow of energy and light within our auras.
How and why do chakras become imbalanced? There is a tendency at times, through entropy and spiritual boredom, for us to sink to the level of mass consciousness. It takes a thrust of energy for us to be constant in our spiritual practices so that we can return to our native state of oneness with God. When we are in the state of eternal beingness and harmonic balance, our chakras are aligned and energy flows freely through our auric fields.
The auric field is meant to be a resonator of God’s virtues and qualities. Each of the seven major chakras is meant to focus the expressive qualities of a divine virtue. There are also twelve sub-virtues associated with each of the twelve primary chakras, for a total of 144 virtues in all. These are quintessences of the Spirit that the Great Central Sun emanates and which we may accept and assimilate through our chakras and within our auric fields of light.
If we have worked conscientiously to develop ourselves spiritually, a balanced quotient of light courses through our chakras, which then spin fluidly, vigorously and rigorously. As our chakras are oiled by our devotion, we experience an action of higher, more refined frequencies within us. These in turn allow us to attune to the vibrations of our Higher Self, the ascended masters, great cosmic beings and ultimately the Great Central Sun.
At the core of each chakra is a sun. This tiny sun’s radiance facilitates the oiling of the axes of light that extend to the outer regions of the chakra. These axes are like the spokes of a wheel, and they relate to the different petals of the chakra. Through the spinning of the petals, a natural harmonic field is created within and around each chakra that can be heard as a subtle humming sound. The toning of our chakras helps us attune to higher frequencies, fields of divine energy in the etheric worlds.
Benjamin Franklin sought to embody thirteen virtues that were inspired upon him. He worked diligently on each virtue until he felt that he had become its highest essence. These virtues are:
  1. Temperance: Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation;
  2. Silence: Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversations;
  3. Order: Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time;
  4. Resolution: Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve;
  5. Frugality: Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; that is, waste nothing;
  6. Industry: Lose not time; be always employed in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions;
  7. Sincerity: Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly; speak accordingly;
  8. Justice: Wrong none by doing injuries or omitting the benefits that are your duty;
  9. Moderation: Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think you deserve;
  10. Cleanliness: Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes or habitation;
  11. Tranquility: Be not disturbed at trifles or accidents common or unavoidable;
  12. Chastity: Rarely use venery but for health or offspring; never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another’s peace or reputation;
  13. Humility : Imitate Jesus and Socrates. 1
I include these for our meditation and reflection. When we lovingly embody these and other virtues, there is an engagement and acceleration of the spin of our chakras within the auric field that is beautiful to behold. This is the natural, divine estate of every son and daughter of God. From time to time, though, we may pick up anomalies that can become lodged within our auric field. These dark matrices may reside within our subconscious minds or within an area called the electronic belt, and they are antithetical to the divine virtues. We may even begin to experience a state of stasis, lethargy and depression. It’s incumbent upon us to work on ourselves to transmute and dissolve these almost imperceptible negative engrams and patterns within our auras so that we can again vibrate in synchronicity with our great God Presence.
In Intermediate Studies of the Human Aura by Djwal Kul, there are illustrations of what occurs in the aura when people are engaged in various dark activities. The book depicts patterns that appear in the auras of black magicians; in those whose energies are concentrated in the mental sphere; and in those with a sympathetic heart whereby the light droops from their heart down to the solar plexus. When I notice someone engaging in sympathy rather than empathy, I get a sinking feeling in the area around my heart chakra that, indeed, descends to the area of my solar plexus.
How do we get beyond this and remain tethered to our divine state of beingness and love? How do we avoid the pitfalls of negative activities and undesirable relationships that do not serve us well? The sun within each chakra is the key. Attuning to the essence of each chakra, within its core, connects us to its purpose in facilitating our spiritual growth and development. When our chakras are open and spinning, we can receive the light from our Source to deal with and overcome the darker elements of our not-self yet remaining to be resolved.
This is why solar gazing and the solar sciences are so important. When we look upon the sun and meditate upon our God Presence, there is delivered to us, within the sun presence of each chakra and within each cell, a ray of intelligent energy that activates the natural processes of our spiritual growth. Our highest potential may be accessed from within these sacred centers of light, for they are portals to the Divine Us. Being closed off from the sun and not focused on our God Presence is like having a shade down on a window—we are not able to truly see or feel the full intensity of the sunlight with its revivifying energies that may help heal us and bring us peace.
Many people have been conditioned to think that wearing sunglasses is necessary whenever they’re out in the sun. Various well-meaning practitioners tell us that too much sun is detrimental, and they are partially right. However, shading our eyes completely from the light of the sun with filtered sunglasses prevents us from receiving all of the beautiful and beneficial rays and frequencies that we require for life itself. To me, wearing sunglasses constantly signifies that someone desires to cover over his inner eyes and avoid gazing upon his true identity, his Solar Presence, his eternal Self.
I encourage you to consider spending more time in the sun without always using sunglasses. Of course, at times it is essential to wear them, such as when you’re driving directly into the sun or when you must shade your eyes to protect them from damage. But in general, it’s important to allow times when you refrain from wearing sunglasses to allow the divine streams of God’s virtues to make contact with the retina—not looking directly into the sun but slightly away from it, closing your eyes as necessary while still drinking in the light of God. When our chakras are spinning and vibrating in the beautiful energy field of our aura, there is the natural nourishment of all of the cells that abide within our energy body, our light body. The chakras are foci for the feeding of our entire electronic field with these beautiful virtues and streams of awareness. They are our true spiritual food.
As aspiring adepts, we are destined, in an energetic sense, to eat fire and to drink light, as the Master Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov says. When we accept within us the virtues from the Great Central Sun—stepped down through galaxies, solar systems, our own God Presence and the ascended masters’ causal bodies—we feel enlivened and enlightened. We meditate upon light and all of its beautiful gradations that flow through us for the blessing of life. We feel free and clear.
Our auras begin to glow like the aura of the sun. This is our goal: that our auras fully reflect and resemble the sun. Our spiritual Godfather-Godmother live within the sun—perfect examples of vitality, longevity, beauty, harmony and grace. We are reenergized when we lock into the sun’s divine currents and embody our own Son consciousness—both S-o-n, as the Son of God, and S-u-n, as the Solar beings who we really are.
If we desire greater light, we can open a greater flow to tap into God’s divine resources by having an open heart, mind and soul. We can be mindful to keep our vision open. This openness will allow us to receive inspiration as illumination and wisdom from our higher mind and from our God Source. The rays from the sun that shine upon us also carry visionary messages for us from our Real Self because our Solar Presence is one with the Sun. Our job is to discern their meaning for us now and to interpret how we may apply them in practical ways today.
Some of what I’ve shared in this chapter may seem esoteric. Yet, as you meditate upon your God Presence and use the solar sciences in your life, you will begin to access greater and greater spiritual resources from within yourself. Understanding will flow to you through all manner of beautiful revelations and flashes of divine knowledge and wisdom. I hope that when you experience this, you will record your revelations through journaling. Allow them to resonate within your mind and dance within your heart for a time so that you feel fully empowered by that which is newly unfolding from within you. Your vibrant chakras within your quickened auric field are now beginning to hum in resonance with the music of your soul, the symphony of the sun, the music of the spheres. You are living in a wonderful new world of divine glory and solar joy!
