The Crown Chakra
Through the crown chakra, we receive wisdom and enlightenment.
Education prepares us to receive our higher mind, but the intellect itself is not the mind of God.
Bill, a computer programmer, learned this firsthand. When a program grew too complex, his instinct was to give up. But centering himself as a chalice for God, an answer would arrive from somewhere he couldn't name.
Our higher intelligence can bring us answers reason alone never could.
Slowing down and stilling the outer mind prepares us to receive those impulses — enough sleep and exercise, foods that strengthen rather than weigh us down (too much oil leaves us sluggish, too much salt or coffee leaves us jittery), and real time for meditation and communion with God.
The deepest work of the crown is seeing beyond duality. As long as we relate to God and to each other as separate, we haven't touched this center's highest energies. When we recognize there are not two but one, God shares all of himself with us — because we have given all of ourselves to him.
This initiation demands we let go of pride, ego and aloofness, and live our spirituality practically, with arms open to everyone.
Pride forms a dark corona around the head rather than the gold of the illumined ones — cutting us off from the very contact we're seeking.
