The Rights of the Chakras: Red Root

Patreon 2.7.23

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 start today with the Red Root Chakra, and explore those Rights over the next week or so. The Right inherent to this first chakra is:

The right to exist.

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

Does every part of you believe in your right to exist? Without qualification. Because that’s what this is: if you’re here, we might say, you belong 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 exist?

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 exist, stop. Make a full stop. Really? Are you questioning your own? I thought not.

Tell yourself: oh right, this being has a right to exist, just like me. Then scootch over metaphorically and make a little more space for that entity just to be.

You’ll find that it gives you more space to be as well.
