Under the 'proper authority ' it might be permissible and you could end up a saint (if you tow the correct religious political line ) ... practice it by yourself ? Well then, magic is work of the devil .... and so are you .

Salvijus Posted August 1 (edited) The 6point heart chakra is made of 2 triangles, one facing upwards another downwards, symbolizing that this is where heaven and earth meet. All the lower three chakras and upper three chakras meet at that place. It's a chakra that contains all the spiritual possiblities and doors to existence. There really isn't any yoga system in christianity. Because Love is not a technique. Nor is there any magical breathing technique to boost its power within you. It's much more like zen. Acceptance of what you already are. Something you allow to flow through you rather than something you try to generate. The one who abides in the descending glory of Light by attuning their heart to the will of God by conciously placing their attention on the energy of desire (that's what prayer is btw) will naturally find himself/herself in Christ conciousness. The presence of Light and glory. The Messianic/Prophetic consciousness. Because all the possibilities are inside the heart chakra, depending on your inclinations and what the Lord wants to use you for, certain gifts will begin to blossom. Clairvoyance, psychic perception, ability to read the soul of another, ability to leave the body, ability to communicate with angels and disembodied beings, channeling, healing abilities, abilities to do miracles, exorcisms etc. All these abilities and possiblities are inside that one simple practice of prayer and communion with the Lord. The fundamental principle in christianity is that what grace can descend upon you is many times more than what you can reach by your own efforts. So any technique becomes children's toys by that point. Because doing nothing is the highest "technique" so to speak. But this doing nothing is slightly different than zen in the way the energies manifest inside the body. And the type of initiation (baptism) that you go through.

But this doing nothing is slightly different than zen in the way the energies manifest inside the body. And the type of initiation (baptism) that you go through. That is similar to another symbolic meaning ; 'Grace descending and aspiration rising - the active and the receptive . One rises and the other descends to join it . The descending triangle is a water symbol , and that grace descending can be likened to baptism (or lustration ) . The ascending triangle is a fire symbol and represents the force of aspiration , it's 'burning ambition. It can also represent higher and lower aspects of the self ; When fire and water come together it creates 'air' ( gas ) ; a powerful force potentially but if not contained, nothing but 'mist' , when contained and directed ; very powerful . That is obvious when we look at a physical process like steam . But here I am looking at it as 'air ' the 'other element ' ( other than the fire and water symbols in the hexagram ) ... 'higher' air ... that is, 'pneuma' = spirit , life , etc . The fourth element missing ; earth ? Thats the effect this conjoining brings . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When that concept is used in 'research' its called 'fishing for a specific' , a very different form of research .... the 'other type' does not put the answer first and then seek any reference that might support it .... it looks at information and facts first and then makes conclusions . On my history forum ,putting a solution first and then searching for a 'back up' can actually get you modded or suspended for such an invalid and biased approach to research ... but this aint no history forum ... so I am going to quote Mathew 7 : 7 at you now ....
