And so coming to the chakras, you might ask yourself in what kind of way this actually facilitates true spiritual awakening, meaning Self-realization or liberation. And how we usually look at the chakras is as these very subtle, energetic centers. So they pertain to your energy body. But also actually, if you are aware of your multidimensional structure, they are also actually pertain to your mental body and to, uh, even more subtle causal body, uh, and an even more subtle great causal body. So all the different structures actually that you can influence if you are working on the chakras within this regular relative form within this, your, your your structure in a way and in, in, in that way they are all karmic storehouses. Like each one of them holds these distinct themes. Actually, they start to, to show up as you focus on them, as you place your awareness on them. But also there are these distinct karmic storehouses because you're delving deeper into causal and great causal levels. Also more causal karmic structures start to start to show up, start to, to become revealed to you start to, to, um, actually also be seen so that this karma can, can can burn off quicker in a way. Now, if we look at the chakras, they are actually part of this subtle, energetic body. And both Buddhist tantric schools as well as yogic tantric schools talk about the chakras actually. And then they are embedded in distinct energy channels and distinct nadis. Now, if you look at at those ancient depictions, and if you if you study them, then you will also see that at the third eye, these dual channels of the moon and the sun end at the third eye. Duality was meant to be transcended. You were meant to actually start realizing yourself beyond this relative construct. So in a way, they were already also depicting that your, your, your relative story, your relative soul's journey, your relative investigation ends at the third eye. And in a way, then there was also the proclamation that the third eye should become the first chakra because duality is transcended. Now obviously as as you can look at my course, my course actually depicts the chakras already from your true self as awareness and then this discovery becomes about a true liberation process in the sense that it's an unraveling from your sense of self. It's an unraveling from what you perceive or perceived is you. Now, all of you that are sincerely actually inquiring or meditating or, you know, just investigating, uh, interested in non-duality, interested in self-realization. Uh, for many of you, even as you are deepening this understanding of what you are as pure being, there are often these very strong identifications in place that are simply where there's it. It isn't that, you know, that you are consciousness already. And you can also simply realize this at every moment or in just an instant of stopping everything. It's also always a possibility. For many people, there are these distinct obstacles that have to do with an identification that's still very rigid. And that's that's the rigidity is no longer something you have to work on, like an attainment kind. There is a clarity that is lacking, a clarity in seeing a clarity in, in simply coming to a place where you clearly realize this isn't you. And so there are these, these, these different aspects. For example, your body, the body has not been seen as perceptions arising within awareness or for other people. It's that they are still very caught up in emotions, you know, and, and the whole drama that, that, that comes with, with emotional, uh, identifications, taking emotions or sensations to be you or the egoic construct is still very strongly in place that this is there's usually then this struggle, you know, between, uh, wanting self-realization but still wanting to hold on to the person, then it's not possible. The person will collapse. You're handing yourself over to what you truly are, this inherent divinity. So there's no that. You cannot just step one toe into this. It's like stepping one toe into the ocean. It's not really possible, you see. And in the same way, you know, all these chakras can become agents for true spiritual awakening, actually, you know, unhooking you from distinct belief systems. Also, for example, into what is love? It is actually the love that comes from your divinity. How does God see? Other than this, personalized and often very rigidly selfish kind of love that is often generated or told to be love. So each one of these chakras can just offer you this unhooking. It's like a, it's like a, you know, you have this, uh. And again, the unhooking is more about these moments of clarity, moments of recognition, recognition, what you are. But also then this, this tumbling of the card house, you know, recognition of what's not you. This has to become experientially seen clear. That's why self-realization is so much about clarity. Clarity between what you are, clarity about what you are not. And also this, this, this, this tiny unhookings that take place. Now the chakras are also so potent because again, you are working on very, you can work on very subtle energetics and then you are also actually working already in a way that unveils truth much more often than than it would be possible you know, uh, if if we just worked, uh, without any knowledge actually, because what happens also is, is distinct states of samadhi actually are also arising for you. What does that mean? It means that you are actually coming already in an experiential, uh, wisdom or experience of the Self. And that means that separation collapses. It means that usually first objects that are seemingly outside of yourself, you know, whether that's the earth or plants or animals or other human beings or whatever objects, you know, the elements that are usually only perceived to be outside, you know, from that perception of the senses. Now, it is never the true perception, actually. You know, you're already looking from consciousness. You're just identified with the sense perception. But what starts happening is that you are actually experiencing those objects as you. You could say you are already widening yourself back. Now if something is revealed to you as you. It means that the subject is gone. There's no longer a. You there. The object of focus solely shines. This is yoga in its purity. Actually, you know when this starts happening. So there's no more I. There's just the object of focus. That also means there's no more dualistic perception in that moment either. It's not that you're seeing someone else. You are this object of focus. You are the earth. You are the water. You are whatever you are focusing on. So this can also just happen. And what this obviously does to you, this kind of unity experiences. But I would rather refer to them as samadhi experiences because there's also a progression, you see. First, there's no more subject. So what only shines is objects. It reveals to you you're not separate from whatever you are actually thinking is outside of yourself. It's not in a deeper reality. And then the objects are also at some point, this was the progression that yoga, yoga actually stipulated. You're no longer interested even in looking at that, you're turning away from. And then you're turning towards what is aware. The seer, the seeing, I call it. This happens also. Then automatically, there's some form of inner maturation that is usually happening, you see. So yes, can you instantly realize what you are. Can you directly realize what you are? Yes, you can, but if you don't, and you also are still in this life somehow, relatively speaking, then this path is really helpful for you as an unhooking of these different identifications. There is a just a continuous turning towards the self. And there are these insights are exceptional clarity that can arise through this maturation. And this is simply becoming more and more clear to you also obviously due to you practicing doing certain kinds of meditations, doing certain kinds of practices. And also because again, you and I and not separate something deeper here beyond even energy. The self is talking to you as the self. It even bypasses, you know, it bypasses your, your, your, your intellectual mind. It is simply what is spoken to and what is also already listening, already here, waiting for you to discover yourself again. Waiting for you to start placing your awareness back on to that. So from very relative kind of workings that are also helpful, you know, gaining more subtlety, removing some karma, becoming aware experientially that this world is not separate from you. All these can also just prompt point continuously actually knock on your door. How is this possible if you are only a person? And it couldn't. And so this also then, you know, helping you on that level, letting go of these very identified ideas. And in that way, then also as you, as you, you know, deal with certain identifications as you let them go, as you, as you learn to, to stay with the self. And increasing clarity about what you are. So this is the power of this path if done no longer from a perspective of the relative self, but if done from an understanding of what is the true self and what you actually want to realize and what it is that you want to liberate yourself from. And also, these, these distinct markers are that come from this realization. The stillness. That is already here. The peace that is undisturbed. The love. That is no longer. Personal. The truth. That is. Absolute. The oneness. That is. The expression of itself
