Chakra Rights: 8th

Patreon 2.16.23

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 Rose Thymus Chakra, and explore these Rights. The Right inherent to this eighth chakra is:

To serve.

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

Does every part of you believe in your right to serve? Does every part of you believe in your right to serve where you are called to serve — by your own determination? Without qualification. Because that’s what this is: if you’re here, we might say, you are allowed to serve 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 serve? To listen within, and act upon inner knowing that leads to service?

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 serve or to pay attention to their calling to serve, stop. Make a full stop. Really? Are you questioning your own? I thought not.

Tell yourself: oh right, this being has a right to serve, to seek and own their instincts for service, just like me. And, conversely, I do not have the right to tell that being toward whom or what their service is to be 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 serve as they determine to be appropriate for themselves.

You’ll find that it gives you more space to serve from the inside-out as well.

P.S. So often we limit our ideas about serving to what we ourselves determine as need. Why? There’s definitely a right for you to discern where you need to serve, but it will not be likely that I am called to serve in quite the same way or quite the same place. True service, the kind I reference here, is serving from the inside out without external reasons. No one has limitations on serving except those we agree to ourselves. Do your best to refrain from limiting the service callings of others. Who knows what life-saving, or earth-saving, or you-saving notions they might be willing to share?

I’ll be back tomorrow with more wisdom based on the Chakras.
