What the hell are chakras? Are they real? Are they made up? Is there 7? Is there 9? 12? Maybe even 3? Are they like internal organs, are they like positions of the assemblage point? This has bothered me for years.

If the maps are fundamentally useless because what you REALLY need is an enlightened master to tap you on the forehead and send you into hyperspace, then why do we even HAVE a book of maps? What are they for? That's my real question. Surely floating in hyperspace all the time while our body slowly dies isn't the point of being alive. We've put a LOT of effort into a project where at the end of the day you just burn your maps and start over.

Chakras are totally made up, much like the entire Marvel collection. It's as fictitious as Noah's ark. Don't spend another moment wondering if you missed you something.
The mystery has ended and you may live out the rest of your life in peace.

One can even do all three simultaneously. The books are for the mind (the tell). The eye-tap works as the show. People are receptive to different modes of learning, hence, enlightenment comes in all forms.

Ok, ok, I can work with this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1211837/plo ... l#synopsis
Maybe I should read more comic books. First, I'll repeat what I said elsewhere in different words, which is that watching blockbuster Hollywood films that billions of other people are watching is a very curious way of deprogramming yourself from the Habitual Position of the Assemblage Point. Seems like quite the opposite, but whatever, ok. Maybe the HAP is not as bad as people think it is if it's busy assembling big budget Hollywood movies like THIS. That said, I'm having a hard time following this. He journeys to Nepal because he wants to HEAL HIS HANDS, or something? Then he finds a mysterious woman in Nepal (who is caucasian for some reason but never mind) who initiates him into the Mysteries, and it turns out the Mysteries of How to Heal Your Hands are only the tip of the iceberg and he finds himself immersed in a self-transcending archetypal battle of Good against Evil. Is that basically the message?

The answer is AND isn't "to heal your hands", I see.

My general take away from this is you think you have problems, and that's valid, but the real problem is THE WORLD IS ON FIRE AND ONLY *YOU* CAN SAVE IT.
Like an Army recruitment poster or something.

I heard it more like: hey, we have cookies, come join our book club. Optional. Do it or don't. We don't give a sh*t.

Personalized invitations--I hadn't considered that until now. Or maybe it's the same memo and you're just being a drama queen.

Considering that the carrier for the signal a big budget special effects driven Hollywood film about a probably billion dollar comic book franchise, I acknowledge, but I do not take any credit for the volume being turned up to 11.

What is this double posting you're doing? Is your VPN not up to par today? Have you annoyed the angels of the internet to such a degree that they've given you a stutter? What is this magic you're doing?

http://www.collective-evolution.com/201 ... al-states/ I think there are different schools of thought on whether the chakras are just there, like you're born with them, like organs, or whether you PUT THEM there and build them up over time. The second theory would explain why different systems have different numbers, or why they're different colors. But if they did this study on people who'd never even heard of chakras and then the study measured them all in about the same place anyway that would be very significant. But what actually stood out about that article is that this the kind of science they do in RUSSIA, and I wonder if it's maybe a left over residue from Cold War era psychic experiments.
