Greetings,
Thank you very much for these ideas and comparisons. They do all seem to be different culture's ways of pointing out the same thing.
Having a complete figure as that chakra's intelligence metaphor is probably better than just a head or brain, especially when talking with it.
No one's remarked on why it would be male while I'm female, so guess you don't see that as unusual, since it is a metaphor for intelligence
. It could be androgynous, I suppose.
I've dialogues with it/him a couple of times, Rob. He said there were a couple of other figures with him. They are holographic-like and stay to connect me with my strongest loves, one, my other soul-half / soul-mate ( with whom we come into our series of incarnations, in my belief system anyway) and another, an ethereal lover with whom I've experienced bliss.
Soul-mates were a belief I rejected for a long time so I asked 'heart-man' about it. His take on it was it's true (since I now believe it?), and he told me about mine since I haven't been with him for about four lifetimes and won't for a couple more. I then asked to meet soul-mate and shortly I could see him as I assume he is in this life. I startled s-m by asking questions about how he was doing, and eventually he answered a couple while muttering that he must be going loco. As his image faded his answers came more directly and then we did that soul-meld where two merge into one as sort of a field of electrified jello. (I would prefer descriptions from 19th C
poetry but so many guys read this I didn't want to alarm them.
)
I notice I'm overly gender-sensitive in this post but I'm talking about what's in my heart. You all and this site have made it possible to talk about soul and spirit, but I just found that heart still a protected area.
So dave_a_mbs, does every chakra have the possibility of an intelligence figure that we can talk with?
Love you all,
Bets
