The Second Chakra: Abode of The Lower Self. |
It has been said that the second chakra is the Abode of the Lower Self, because when it has a high proportion of control over a person's life, then we may expect to experience the following behaviour.
- Excess of Pleasure seeking.
- The seeking of selfish pleasure giving objects and events.
- Attention seeking behaviour.
- Sensual pleasures for the sake of the senses.
- Emotionally immaturity.
- Living whole of life for selfish pleasure and avoidance of pain.
This is the nature of the lower self and its seat is the second chakra. Once the second chakra has taken the majority of control of the organism, then we can expect to find the above qualities in abundance.
We can view the chakra system in terms of proportional representation - percentages. At any one time the behaviour of the organism will be acting under the statistical average of the workings of the chakras. For instance, making a sense pleasure meal may use the chakras in the following proportions: the heart chakra (10%), the ajna chakra (10%), base (10%), 2nd (70%). Whereas producing a health conscious meal may involve using the ajna chakra at (80%) - Thinking about what we are doing and the best possible outcomes. Giving up our seat on the bus to an old person will involve using the heart chakra as perhaps 70% - enough to override our selfishness.
We need to understand ourselves as we are - here now. Being honest about our current position is the best policy for any further evolution or change. If we can admit to ourselves that we are currently governed by various behaviour patterns then we are in a very powerful position to do something about it. Whereas, if we are too arrogant and self-deceiving to even criticize ourselves, then we will make no positive and lasting evolutionary change.
If we can understand a thing, then it no longer wields any power over us. By understanding the nature of the chakras, then we can use them to the best advantage for One and for All - instead of being ruled by our lower self instincts.
Humility is the gateway to success, knowledge, wisdom and happiness.
