Chakra Rights: 5th

Patreon 2.13.23

I bet you didn’t know that having an energy system gives you certain rights. Few of us do. However, I am intent on healing this omission in human education, even if I have to do it one person at a time. It makes little sense to me that we are not taught at all about the system that powers every other system we have!

The easiest way to access the human energy system is through the chakras — the spheres of energy that exist at the core of each one of us. The germ of human energy is what I would call the Divine Spark. It’s a flash of brilliant light.

If you’ll look at the Divine Spark through a prism, you’ll see the eight major chakras. Each one comes with Responsibilities, yes, but also Rights.

We’ll move today to the Turquoise Throat Chakra, and explore these Rights. The Right inherent to this fifth chakra is:

The right to speak and hear truth.

Now before you dismiss this notion wholesale, stop. Think a minute. Well, no, connect a minute.

Does every part of you believe in your right to speak truth? Does every part of you believe in your right to hear truth? Without qualification. Because that’s what this is: if you’re here, we might say, you are allowed to exchange truth here. No exceptions.

Think of the many social constructs both explicit and implicit in our civilization, and in civilizations through time. Has everyone always even had the right to speak truth? To be hear truth?

Um, as hard as it may be to hear this, no. There have been divisions and hatreds and wars and vilifications and demonizations as long as there have been humans. Ouch, right?

One of the great metaphysical secrets of life, Beloved, is:

If I don’t want equally for you what I want for me, then I myself limit what I can be, do, and have.

On this hangs the law and the prophets.

So, the next time you question someone else’s right to speak or hear truth, stop. Make a full stop. Really? Are you questioning your own? I thought not.

Tell yourself: oh right, this being has a right to speak and hear truth, just like me. And, conversely, I do not have the right to tell that being toward whom their speaking or hearing truth are directed, or ought to be (and neither does that being have that right over mine.) Then scootch over metaphorically and make a little more space for that entity just to speak and hear truth as they determine to be appropriate.

You’ll find that it gives you more space to speak, to hear, and to know truth as well.

P.S. So often we limit our ideas about truth to what we ourselves express. What we express absolutely has something to do with truth, hopefully. But we usually forget about the hearing part of this fifth chakra. You have the right to hear truth, beloved. With that right comes a certain level of responsibility. One of the best things I’ve ever written can be found in my Tao for Now. “Two ears, one mouth. The ratio matters.” Yep, you must discern what truth is for you twice as often as you speak it. Think on that! Most rights come with responsibilities, dear one.
