the brain, the mind, the chakras, and Indigo

2007-01-07

Note: This is the end of a conversation. I was asking about bi-polar. GABA is a neurotransmitter involved in the symptoms of mania and depression. In simplistic terms, it is what "speeds things up" and "slows things down."

I have felt like I have been in a long, long argument about whether "denial" or "the brain" is causal to my bipolar. I have felt that the brain is causal, with an acknowledgement that there was something causal to the brain problems. I have felt that the explanation that "my bipolar is manifest because I have denied my will" is too simplistic. Since receiving this channeling, I have started reading Ceanne's new book, Feelings Matter. It has been so helpful to me in understanding the relationship of the history of the Creations to the manifestation of Brain. It has filled in the missing link for me.

I offer this channeling as a stepping stone in my progression of understanding. I have a bigger "context" now, but I think this is worth sharing.

(me) ...explain to me about GABA. What is the OC of it? What does it have to do with denial spirits, Lucifer, etc.

(MFGH) GABA isn't "causal," but it is closer to the cause. It is a primary symptom that has many consequences. It is also the "means" to the symptoms. In other words, if you look at it inside out—if you say: "what would need to go wrong in order to get these experiences [depression and mania] to happen in some one's life?" the answer would be GABA and the other neurotransmitters. It is kind of like the argument over whether the Sun or the Earth is causal in the radiation that causes problems on the Earth. You could look at it from both sides, and create strong arguments for both sides, but it doesn't mean that you have to pick one or the other. Each sees the "truth" from its point of view. And each side doesn't appreciate having its point of view denied by the other.

It might be helpful to understand Body's role in manifesting the Truth about the relationship of Spirit to Will, as well as the History of Experience that the particular essence is holding. You have to trace it back to its evolutionary OC.

We are not done with the story. We need to set certain fundamental building blocks into place. There is much more that needs to be explained about the relationship of consciousness and brain and mind and emotions. There is more that needs to be understood about Indigo's role in this. Why did the brain locate itself in the heart of the upper chakras? Why not a brain located in the hips, like a dinosaur?

And also, what about the emerging understanding of the body-brain, of the role of vibration at the cellular level, at the neuroreceptors throughout the body? What about crossing the blood-brain barrier?

There is a lot of lower-chakra blaming rage at the brain. There is a backlash that says that "brain is not causal!" Just like you have rage that says the "brain is causal!"

All of this has to be untangled in order to get at the "truth" of causality. The charges have to be gotten through. And this does not mean that the charges are wrong, it is just that until they have their say, their release, they cannot enlarge their understanding.

A more subtle level of the above charges are the question of perpetration. From the lower chakra perspectives, anything upper is causal in terms of perpetration. But they do not want to say that life comes from the brain. They feel that to do this is to deny their role in creation. They do not want to say that the manifested form of the problem is causal; that Body is causal. This gets Spirit off the hook. They are sick and tired of the answers to life's questions coming from the Spirit/Mind perspective. They are sick of Spirit/Mind telling them that they are causal to their own problems.

Each upper chakra has its own relationship to Brain and Spirit and Mind. And remember, we are speaking in generalities to lay out the territory, not defining the truth of any one experience.

Purple that aligned with Spirit feels frustrated when the Brain won't receive its input (inspiration). But it has had a huge impact on the judgments held in Mind for many people, depending on their polarizations.

Blue wants to control the Brain, and has many Mind control techniques to offer to gain and maintain power, especially over the lower chakra's input. Inspiration is okay, as long as it furthers the Blue agenda.

Indigo… well this is more tricky to explain…

Let us start with the role of the eyes and ears in the brain and mind.

The eyes are the sensory organ of the brain (along with the pituitary gland) and they transmit Light into electro-chemical impulses. The ears do the same with Vibration (along with the skull).

As you know, perception is a multi-step process of making meaning out of these impulses. Your mind is like the projector that is necessary to make a can of film come to life. The film (recorded experience) does not change, it does not appear or disappear, but it has no relevance, no contribution until it is fed through the mind. The mind is necessary for the film to come to life.

The other elements that are necessary are 1) time/process (moving the film through the projector one frame at a time), 2) light to illuminate the film, and 3) the screen to reflect the light back to the viewer.

The sound track has a parallel set of necessities for it to be heard—time/process, the amplifier, the speaker, the air that it vibrates, and the ear drum which receives the vibration.

The mind is all of these processes in total, while the brain is the mechanical parts of it within the body. The mind "makes sense" of what happens in the mechanical processes, and includes the "reality screen" which is "perceived" by the brain.

The paradox for Indigo, is that the mind, the whole process of perception and meaning-making is greater than Indigo, but also resides within it.

This is in part because of the history of Creation. If Purple and Blue hadn't gapped, the Mind would be more integrated into the whole upper chakra spectrum (not to mention the lower chakra spectrum). But as it happened, the Place that would hold and receive Mind, the "neutral territory" was Indigo.

If the connections between the other Chakras and Indigo was stronger, Mind would be a much broader experience. Indigo's true gifts would be realized, and it would also be able to incorporate the gifts from the lower chakras much more easily.

We talked recently of the Indigo-Green-Orange Heart-channel. If this had been allowed to develop, the experience of Mind would be completely different. Essentially, Mind would not be located in the upper chakras. It would be an integrative function of all of the chakras.

Body and Mind would not be the dichotomy that they are today. Mind would be much more identified with Heart, with Balance and with Integration.

So part of the Lower Chakra objections about the primacy of mind is an objection to the primacy of the upper-chakra orientation of mind.

In men, the split between their "upper head" and their "lower head" is often made fun of, but this is pointing to a real split, and a real condition that needs healing. In women, the split is between women who allow their "lower head (brain)" to even manifest and those that do not. The Virgin-Whore split. There is no conceptualization that those that do allow for the lower brain could integrate it with their upper brains.

And the ones that do allow their lower brain to have some presence are to be controlled by the males. Females allowing their lower brain to make decisions for the species are very threatening to the males.

They are threatening to the other females as well. For those that do have lower brain presence, there is competition, and for those that do not, there is condemnation.

A big part of the problem in integrating the upper and lower brains, is the loss of the Central Heart.

Here we have collapsed the distinctions of "mind" and "brain" and "head" because of the common vernacular, but we think you get the idea.

When Indigo manifest in the Second Creation, there was no understanding or reality that the Fourth Creation, Green, or the Sixth Creation, Orange, would not manifest in full ("correctly," or "per plan"). Well this is not exactly true, but the point is, there was no accommodation made that the future Creations would not go according to Plan, or that the Plan might need to be changed. So Indigo manifested Mind as best it could, with the expectation that this was just the first "third" of the equation, without any idea that this would end up being the essence that would have to hold the entire function of Mind--because Green and Orange would turn out to be damaged by the Smack.

This ended up being a pretty heavy burden for Indigo. It was required to do much more than it's original form could handle. It did not have the input or support from the rest of the Heart Channel.

And this is also why Indigo could be so unbalanced. Essentially it "forgot" that it was not meant to be the Mind/Brain center in isolation. Parts of it were happy to have this role as it gave it power in relationship to the rest of the chakras. Parts of it felt very victimized, but didn't really understand why. Parts of it held a lot of resentment at having to carry the load for the whole Body. Parts of it ended up being "overresponsible" for the situation. Parts of it thought that it must have done something wrong to end up in this predicament. And parts of it broke down under the stress of the situation.

Indigo has a long history of feeling like it's contribution could help, if only others would receive it, but also an unwillingness to share its contribution, because others didn't receive it. To the outsiders, Indigo is a very frustrating presence—they feel its judgments that things are not unfolding correctly, but without any helpful feedback or constructive criticism. This only contributes to their inability to receive Indigo, because they have backed up rage that Indigo needs to receive but hasn't.

All sides can help if they move their feelings privately, but ultimately, there needs to be an expression of their points of view to each other. Once Indigo accepts and processes its own victimization, it can receive the feelings from those that it impacted—how it's actions ended up impacting creation.

Indigo has confusion about power—it seems to have a lot of power on the one hand, but also very little power on the other. The situation is very unbalanced. It seems to "prey" on those that admit their need for Indigo's input—psychics that milk hundreds of dollars from their dependent and even addicted clients—to compensate for the loss of status that it has in the mainstream.

Indigo has been very afraid of its power—in part because of the questions of the role of envisioning in manifesting the future—but it has also felt hugely denied in that it's input has been either diminished or "interpreted" to forward the agenda of the interpreter.

Take the "Revelations" in the Bible for example… They are ostensibly an output by the Indigo Chakra. However the other chakras have analyzed and interpreted it, and used it as evidence for their points of view. The Bible does not contain the Indigo "perspective".

On the one hand, Indigo is happy that it has at least some influence on current events--at least the Revelations is included in the Bible. It has some acknowledgement that it has a right place. But on the other hand, it hasn't been able to present it's understanding on the message, because the ones that actually have the power want the message to work in their favor, and do not want Indigo to rock the boat.

And Heaven Forbid that everyone activate their Own Indigo! That would blow the power-mongers out of the water. So Revelations is giving its place in the Church Teachings, but the power to receive revelations is relegated to the influence of Lucifer. If you are "psychic," you are under the influence of the Devil.

And only the Church that can interpret the Indigo Revelations. Only the Church can declare any particular Revelation as "sanctioned" and "safe" to listen to.

There is a lot of cynicism in Indigo. This has to be broken down into its constituent parts of rage, frustration, resentment, fear, despair, and grief. Cynicism is an orientation that feels less threatening than actually experiencing the other feelings, but it is not a loving experience for the one that feels it or the ones that receive it. It is a stuck place, and will not take you to where you want to go.

(me) wow, thank you. I hope I can integrate this into my own process.

(MFGH) we have not doubt that you will. Just move in response.
