Re: The Mind - The "Reptillian / Avian" Mind
Good insights in the last two posts! Yeah, energy in its purest sense would have to be love.
Boris Mouravieff wrote a great deal about the various manifestations of love in his three books (Gnosis, volumes I, II, and III), how there are different manifestations of love depending on how many "filters" it goes through. The purest form of love streams from the Creator itself, and is what allows existence to "exist". According to the Cassiopaeans, it is this level of love that our sexual centers (solar plexus chakra) is in direct contact with and thereby draws its sexual energy from to sustain our metaphysical functions. From there, the energy flows to other centers as directed by circumstance or choice.
Lower levels of love (those with more filtering) include Christ-love and carnal love. The latter is necessary for the perpetuation/evolution of physical life, while Christ-love is necessary for the spiritual evolution of life. So, one basic energy with different manifestations depending on filtering.
Just as if you were to do an exercise dealing with a higher vibrational energy center, you would tap into that type of fragmented energy, and have a more objective understanding of it. And what would you call it, just energy? or intelligence?
There must be a difference between energy and intelligence - maybe intelligence is what modulates or filters energy and is activated by it?
Another thing Mouravieff talked about was that love is the basic emotion, and all other emotions are various distortions upon it. So each thought pattern would filter and distort this basic emotion to give rise to other emotions. Take basic love of all, and filter this through a thought pattern of selfishness and survival, and then you may get the emotion of hatred against those who threaten your survival - for example.
This shows that sexual energy can be diverted away from expression as physical libido and toward things other than higher creative functions. So if you're stressed, paranoid, angry, etc... that would be sexual energy filtering through the negative halves of the intellectual and emotional centers. It's still a creative energy, but perhaps applied toward destructive ends.
Love also manifests as the desire to preserve life, in order to preserve a creation. But really, you are manifesting "love" every time you create, every time you cook a meal or draw a picture or dream a fantasy. Love is simply the opposite of destruction and separateness.
Well put, and this shows a good way to make use of sexual energy: toward higher forms of creation. If you send energy up through your higher centers, then it would make sense that these centers would grow or alternately, the energy conduits between your 3D self and these higher centers would multiply and strengthen.
Actually, this brings up a good question: it's obvious that using your higher abilities helps develop them. That's basically sending energy into your higher centers. Now, what is the difference between sending energy into your higher centers via creative/inventive/learning acts, and doing a meditation exercise where you merely visualize sending energy into those higher chakras? Are both equivalent?
