Q: We have all heard the phrase, “everything is connected”, haven’t we? What is the relationship between intuition, which I understand to be our faculty of spiritual perception, and the super-conscious’ relationship with the Mystery Monitor?

My second question is this: many of the world’s religious traditions speak of seven primary energy centers that are located within the physical body. Most eastern, and some western philosophies speak of vortices that radiate light, color, and electromagnetic energy that reportedly radiate out beyond the confines of the physical body. The energy centers themselves are called chakras. Apparently this energy changes in color and intensity with the varying states of our mind.

What is the relationship between the chakra energy system and the experience we have as we climb the seven psychic circles? Is there some kind of energy, mind, or and, spiritual association, or relationship? Do our celestial visitors view the light of our “chakra energy” to ascertain the degree of our growth/development?

A: I am going to combine these two questions, since they have something to do with each other—namely, the seven adjutant mind spirits.

Just to refresh our memory, here are the names and functions of the seven mind spirits. This first one should answer your first question, about intuition. Intuition is the first of the seven adjutants, and is found in any and every living organism, from the smallest to the most complex:

The spirit of intuition— quick perception, the primitive physical and inherent reflex instincts, the directional and other self-preservative endowments of all mind creations; the only one of the adjutants to function so largely in the lower orders of animal life and the only one to make extensive functional contact with the nonteachable levels of mechanical mind.

The spirit of understanding—the impulse of co-ordination, the spontaneous and apparently automatic association of ideas. This is the gift of the co-ordination of acquired knowledge, the phenomenon of quick reasoning, rapid judgment, and prompt decision.

The spirit of courage—the fidelity endowment—in personal beings, the basis of character acquirement and the intellectual root of moral stamina and spiritual bravery. When enlightened by facts and inspired by truth, this becomes the secret of the urge of evolutionary ascension by the channels of intelligent and conscientious self-direction.

The spirit of knowledge—the curiosity-mother of adventure and discovery, the scientific spirit; the guide and faithful associate of the spirits of courage and counsel; the urge to direct the endowments of courage into useful and progressive paths of growth.

The spirit of counsel—the social urge, the endowment of species co-operation; the ability of will creatures to harmonize with their fellows; the origin of the gregarious instinct among the more lowly creatures.

The spirit of worship—the religious impulse, the first differential urge separating mind creatures into the two basic classes of mortal existence. The spirit of worship forever distinguishes the animal of its association from the soulless creatures of mind endowment. Worship is the badge of spiritual-ascension candidacy.

The spirit of wisdom—the inherent tendency of all moral creatures towards orderly and progressive evolutionary advancement. This is the highest of the adjutants, the spirit co-ordinator and articulator of the work of all the others. This spirit is the secret of that inborn urge of mind creatures which initiates and maintains the practical and effective program of the ascending scale of existence; that gift of living things which accounts for their inexplicable ability to survive and, in survival, to utilize the co-ordination of all their past experience and present opportunities for the acquisition of all of everything that all of the other six mental ministers can mobilize in the mind of the organism concerned. Wisdom is the acme of intellectual performance. Wisdom is the goal of a purely mental and moral existence.

As for the connection between these two, you might want to do some research on your own, as there are some who are of the opinion that a connection can made between the seven chakras, the seven adjutant spirits, the seven colors of the races of mankind and the epochal revelations to our planet, five of which have been realized, and two of which are anticipated. As to whether the celestials can evaluate our spiritual development by our chakra emanations, I have no idea…although I am sure that these colors are evident to many beings who possess spiritual insight. Even certain gifted humans are evidently able to discern these colors.

Thanks for your question.
