Good Noon Bruce!

You have certainly given us some beautiful diagrams, questions, pondering, possibilities, and issues that I think we can, together, eventually answer and streamline as a model for going further.

I remember when I used to sit on Local Spiritual Assemblies (composed of 9 elected people who lived in the Community) in the Baha'i Faith to deal with all the situations and problems within the Community, the process of consultation was very interesting. I probably attended at least one thousand.

There weren't many times that we had the "Spiritual" principles all in place to come up with the best solutions and legislation, but when we did ---- it was magic!!!! and you could literally see the Light Atoms and Love rays bouncing around the room. So I know it is possible to do some of the things you are hoping to bring into reality.

I won't mention all the prerequisites of consultation here; but list a few that must be in place before the consultation begins (without these in place consultation is just man-made talk):

1. Love for Source and one another

2. Detachment from ego and one's ideas and outcomes

3. Unity of Spirit (a must)

Often as we brainstormed together, I wouldn't even remember what piece of information flowed through me which would lend towards the final decision. We were tuned into what the very best and truest decision could be.

Regarding the Hara Line (which you brought to my attention) I will never forget the day that one of the members of the Tahirih Group (several years ago) and Myself sat on a bench overlooking the Indian Ocean and began to mediate. She said, to begin the meditation, now with your feet flat on the earth imagine a straight line of white Light going into the Earth and growing roots (grounding), and suddenly I shot up and said: "We must also envision that Light Line connection straight to the Heart of Source". As we did that, and made that connection, A light came from the clouds and our bodies were "Electrified with Knowing" the Truth of this Alignment - even though it was a strange idea for my friend at the time. Thus Direct Connection is an essential element of moving forward.

Re your questioning of Chakra's, at this stage, although I don't think it will be the case as humanity moves further into the Ascension process (which could happen quickly) I have some ideas, ideas which even are different to the ones in my own book on Chakras (energy centers in our bodies which reach beyond our selves). These comments are in the context of the world in which we are living presently (a construct that *can transform* to being one with Source Plan).

1. Firstly, I would agree that it is of great assistance to our Physcial and Spiritual Bodies to "align and balance" our spines by sitting straight and seeing/visualizing the Hara Line within directly connected to the Absolute Source. This allows for the flow of Truth to move through us.

2. Sadly, in our world, and in other spheres at present, Beings have learned how to influence the energy that connects to human Chakras, which can bring in waves of misinformation or feelings that affect us, or beliefs that control - sometimes it is just the electrical information floating around in our atmosphere through media and the like (I have seen so many spiritual people change negatively overnight that I have come to wonder what is causing these dramatic changes). I acknowledge that our own inner Self affects the Auras - but energy does flow in two-way directions.

So I am proposing, in answer to your query, to keep the Chakras closed, while aligning the spine with the Light of the Truth (Hara Line) and moving that Purifying Light into the cells and all the Chakra areas. As such the body will be purified, filled with the highest Divine Energy in a way that permeates the atmosphere wherever you are and throughout.

We may be past taking in Energies from our surrounds because the I AM Self is beginning to Live more fully within our holographic bodies, and the times are changing. When ever we visualize Spiritual Teachers they have beautiful Halos ---- but they are of the White-Golden Light that comes from the Direct Connection Hara Line -- at least their Energy is Purified from Source Energy.

I know this is radical, but with the question, I felt compelled to share some of my observations and findings. I will be interested in all comments.

Living Love, Starr*

"I AM The Vine - Ye are the Branches...."

Good morning. I am just beginning to explore this mystery of whether or not it is really possible to create a stable and consistent diagram of this "basic psychology of spirit" -- or what Wilber called in his Carolyn Myss review "the architecture of the castle" ("the castle" being the "interior castle" as described in the book "The Interior Castle" by St. Teresa of Avila)

I am just getting the hang of how to draw these pictures and get the "parts" labeled. This image below is just a start, a first little piece to consider. It shows some "levels" -- and I would like to explore whether it is possible to accurately and consistently characterize these levels. This is not so easy to do, and I am not aware that there is any single existing "map" or diagram of these levels out there in the world that is widely accepted. Ken Wilber and his students have put out hundreds of related diagrams -- but none of them that I have seen try to combine all these elements in one "integral" form. Maybe it is not possible -- or maybe it is. I want to push this a little bit and see what we come up with.

Thanks.
