… ‘chakra’ … They are conceptual structures yet are phenomenologically based, since they tend to be located where human beings experience emotional and/or spiritual energy … … there are a few centers which are found in all [chakra] systems .. lower belly or sexual center, in the heart, and in or near the crown of the head, … … all associations of the chakras with psychological states is a modern Western innovation that started with Carl Jung. … THE SEVEN-CHAKRA SYSTEM POPULAR TODAY DERIVES NOT FROM AN ANCIENT SCRIPTURE, BUT FROM A TREATISE WRITTEN IN 1577. … TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH IN 1918. https://hareesh.org/blog/2016/2/5/the-real-story-on-the-chakras

Me, I followed the flow of awareness. The alternating was between red and blue.

Yes I agree, that has been my observation too.

Hi Lidolon, welcome to the forum. Enjoy

Nice to meet you too. Welcome to the forum, enjoy.

Some “auto suggestion”, taking on culturally determined forms, seems very visible to me as I come from another culture.

I didn’t look at the link, so the like is not for that. It’s for the quoted bit, that made me laugh. Ha, ha, “Almost in the now”. Yes, very recognisable that. Good luck with the work issue. : )

It’s very kind of you to say so, thank you.

It made me laugh, hence my like. But to be fair to @awaken I totally understand the need to ignore some people. Due to time restrictions, I too have to set priorities and skip certain people/threads.

Count me out, I have little interest in Buddhism. I’m not knowledgeable enough to qualify as “brainwashed”.

Yes exactly, that’s why I’m trying to read the DDJ from characters.

I think so too.

Imo it’s quite difficult to master the art of talking to people that disagree with one, but worth learning.

I did not say that.
