Seven Aspects of Knowing

The Blind Spots (and associated chakras)

Not recognising AUTONOMY (which implies connectedness) we see ourselves as steered by outside influences, look outside ourselves for security, notice aloneness and fragmentation and promote monoculture as a false togetherness rather than respecting diversity and connectedness. [Base chakra – physical, material connection]

Unaware of CLOSURE we mistakenly assume that meaning is transferable, see mostly misunderstanding, worship information and connect casually rather than sincerely. [Belly chakra – relationship, honour one another]

Misunderstanding PERCEPTION we blame the world for how we see it and waste ourselves arguing about an external reality, value objectivity instead of our connectedness and strive unrewardingly to obtain information. [Solar plexus chakra – personal, self-esteem]

Denying LOVE, our biological birthright, and the primacy of emotional connection we disconnect ourselves by favouring the rational over the emotional, misrepresent knowledge and undervalue art. [Heart chakra - marriage of body and soul]

Avoiding SURRENDER and the freedom of complete acceptance we focus on cause and effect, sabotage trust and meet resistance all the way. [Throat chakra - trust and will]

Misrepresenting KNOWLEDGE we underestimate the effect of everyday conversing, not realising how it creates our changing culture, and we don't create conditions that promote respectful conversation. [Brow chakra - mind and wisdom]

Forgetting about UNITY we shut out the glory, settle for petty worship of false idols, keep trying to solve problems (which are emotional and spiritual) technologically and deny our own perfection. [Crown chakra - spiritual connection]
