So I've been thinking of the idea of "Christian Chakras" or basically just chakras. These would be places related to the body, where consciousness tends to concentrate. Of course, there are physical processes that happen in these places that may cause lots of physical energy to be expended there, or maybe these places of the physical body just have more sensitive nerve endings, or are just closer to the spinal cord and brain.
What's interesting is that:
1. Humans are made with some sort of similarity to the Deity. Some translations say "In image and likeness" in the book of Genesis. The Deity has hands (and arms), eyes ("the eyes of the Lord are everywhere", from Proverbs), a back (like Moses was shown), feet (earth is His footstool). The Deity is spirit, as Christ said. Therefore, humans, with their physical bodies and spirits, may have these as spiritual body-parts.
2. Specific parts of the body are mentioned many times in the bible: feet, hands, eyes, arms, belly, heart, etc. Christ mentions living water coming from bellies, and eyes being lamps to shine light on the body, and things coming out of hearts that can defile people. These bodily parts seem spiritual; it would be strange for people's physical bellies to start spouting streams or rivers of living water from them. It would be strange for physical eyes to begin to shine light and illuminate the physical body to which they're attached. It would be odd for a theft to emerge out of a physical heart. Or even physical heart to speak through a physical mouth. (Although there may be something to these ideas).
Although I'm still trying to understand the hands' and arms' place in this, I am here proposing a model that needs development:
7 (midline) Chakras, as some usual possible areas of concentration of qi (bodily/CC coe):
- higher head
- eyes and ears
- mouth (and possibly lungs and other respiratory stuff)
- heart
- belly/digestive organs
- reproductive organs
- feet
According to the Gospels: Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. So the heart and the mouth are probably adjacent spiritually, if the heart so affects the mouth directly like that.
According to the Gospels: What goes into the mouth goes into the belly, and then into the sewer. So I developed the idea of things/coe going UP the chakras by 1 chakra. But things/coe going DOWN the chakras going by 2 chakras (such as mentioned before: going from mouth (maybe to there from spiritual top of head also if a spiritual interface meets near the top the head) to belly (digestion) and then to sewer (ground/feet)). This DOWN 2, UP 1 idea also makes sense if interpreting Genesis 1 that way: the Deity's heart (out of abundance of heart mouth speaks) caused Him to speak (mouth), and then He saw (eyes) light and probably heard his own voice (ears) (probably like how people can hear their own voices). What's useful about DOWN 2, UP 1 is that it can be extrapolated to the other chakras, if it is an accurate idea.
Since these chakras are connected, there are likely integrative areas between chakras whereat functions of both chakras happen, and perhaps have some special "inter-chakral" function.
At least, when putting qi (bodily coe) on a chakra, it provides a reference by which consciousness, like a conceptual "hub", can transition or move to focus on concepts and things related to that specific chakra.
Possible Functions of Spiritual Chakras:
-top of head: Some spirits in the bible were said to rest upon a person or people. Was the top of the head the point where those spirits possibly rested? If oil was poured onto their head, and then spirit rested on them, then maybe the spirit rested at the top of their head. Perhaps this is also associated with interaction of better "dimensions" or distributions (of matter/energy/etc.).
-eyes and ears: virtual vision and spiritual sight. sight of other possibilities (like "dimensions" "timelines" etc.; even also while still in physical body?) And these other possibilities also include very very similar "dimensions" or distributions to the real/true one (like being in one "dimension"/possibility/distribution but seeing into another). Can use spiritual ears to "hear" spirits? Can "see" spirits with spiritual eyes? But not seeing or hearing them physically, but possibly changing (physical) sight/hearing in some way to coincide with perception of desire felt because of that spirit. More like sensing the effects of a spirit, and trying to determine the spirit due to its effects on the senses (which might be limited in attempt to do so).
-mouth: perhaps using a small amount of coe (mouth moving to speak) to direct (large) amounts of coe (things/entities obeying orders). Basically like coe that directs or commands other and sonetimes larger amounts of coe than itself, with there being fewer "directors" than "blue-collar workers" coe-wise.
-heart: A place where evaluations/accounting can happen. (Is this a numbering and determination of types of spirit?) And the heart is likely a place where spirits can be. The Parable of the Sower mentions seed being sown into the heart, and the seed grows into a plant. The seed is explained to be the word of God, and a seed likely some kind of "spiritual plant". And Christ says something like: that the words that He was speaking were spirit (and life). Maybe the heart is also a place where spirits can find definition. Ground of the heart, like in the parable of the sower, might be like a definite place for a spirit to be located/stand. It may be where a spiritual seed can be sown, or where a "spiritual animal" -like a camel- can be located. (The Pharisees in the Gospel were accused of swallowing/engulfing a camel.)
-digestion and belly: If spirits have no need of physical food, then the spiritual digestion may be a kind of breaking down of experiences that one has. Like food is broken down. And a spirit may take and absorb what it will from that experience, but toss or excrete from itself the remainder of that experience. And they may take things from an experience to give them zeal or motivation to continue living, like a physical body uptakes nutrients to continue living. If so, some types of meditation are then like a "spiritual fasting" during which a spirit retains what it already has and uses that instead of new real experiences, like how a fasting physical body may use the stores of energy it already has to survive without intaking food. And if the previous subtherory of DOWN 2, UP 1 can be applied, then the "nutrients" of "spiritual nutrition" can be moved up to the heart, whatever was taken from spiritual digestion.
-reproductive organs: A spirit's desire to reproduce itself or parts of itself (perhaps in a different arrangement?).
-feet: interaction with ground and/or worse distributions? I'm not sure if or how the subtheory DOWN 2, UP1 works with this one.
Again this is very incomplete, and doesn't integrate arm/hands/fingers (very important!!). And these are also not the only places where coe can be, obviously. However, they tend to attract coe/focus.
Also interesting: they tend to have "minds":
-top of head interacts with minds/desires of other spirits
-eyes and ears interact with minds/desires of whatever they see/hear in their environment
-the mouth ususally needs the lungs or something blowing air through it to speak. The air or whatever goes in and out of the mouth, is integrated to "the desires of the air" as a large contiguous body of fluid (with properties of pressure of a body of fluid), and integrated with whatever that contiguous body of air is touching?
-scientists may have found a neural mesh of the heart that acts like a small brain. Not to mention the independent pacemaker heartbeat that might cause the heart to beat independently of the rest of the body (like it has its own desire)
-Gut bacteria and flora living in the gut, have been found to influence the body and mood. And those may have separate desires of their own, independent of the body.
-Not sure about this one yet, but a baby in the womb, as well as semen and eggs that can live in the reproductive organs, may have desires that are their own, if only simple ones, if they are counted as somewhat different entities than the bodies that they inhabit.
-feet interact with earth/platform/ground which may have different desires/forms than the person/entity standing on it
These chakras may correspond to the creation as a whole.
- Thehu : Feet / Connection to Ground: a Thehu as a distribution (of space) that had some "sturdiness" or something to work off of; something in which space could occur. Contentment with one of the Thehus (in Hebrew ThEHUM; some versions translated the plural of ThEHU as "depths" or "the deep").
- Behu: Reproduction: reproduction of this one Thehu (a distribution) into another Moment, thereby making time. Instead of a blip of that universe or Thehu as a distribution, there were more Moments of it as it was reproduced again and again, providing temporality. Contentment with the Thehu.
- Darkness: Digestion: Then, because there was an experience, spiritual digestion of that experience became available. Perhaps it was dark because there was sight and possibly other senses, but those senses like sight didn't have any color or luminous Qualities to perceive when "digesting" the experience of the Behu. Contentment with the Behu.
- Waters: Heart: Proverbs 20:5, Proverbs 21:1, Proverbs 27:19. Contentment with Darkness or with perception of an experience without changing it (as different from the next chakra).
- A Spirit of Alhym hovering: Vocality and Breathing: John 3:8, Acts 2:2-3, 1 Kings 19:11-15. Contentment with heart (a specific entity's experiences including near and oneiric environments?)
- A Spirit of Alhym: Sight and Audition: Proverbs 15:3, Psalm 34:15. Contentment with spirit moving over something, like being content with discontentment in a limited area, like discontentment of movement of air over a defined area such as vocal cords and mouth.
- Alhym: Top of Head / Better Distributions: Alhym has power over all spirits. In Enoch, the phrase "Lord of the spirits" is related. Contentment with a spirit, as instead of all spirits? Interesting that, if this is somewhat accurate, then a Thehu comes from many Thehus, and a spirit comes from many spirits (or a greater spirit?) and they both seem to meet (at least in one place) in the middle at the heart, like a "spirit-water interface".
