Saturn Chakra
A great many peple you will meet will be stuck in this chakra, and having a rough time of it, at that. As for keywords or phrases, they are simple. Does the person have a job, preferably, a vocation, that is more or less satisfying? if they have learned to make their way in life( have a vocation), then you can probably move onto the next chakra(Jupiter) and start checking out keywords there. Life in the Saturn chakra is tough, and what is wanted there, are things as basic as some way to get through life, which may boil down to a job, or at least way to make a living. If the person is just trying to keep their head above water, then the Saturn chakra may be where they are at. They need to hear about the Jupiter chakra, for that is the key, or the way through the chakra they are in.
Jupiter Chakra
Theose who live mostly in the Jupiter chakra have solved the equation of making a living and have found a way to manage(handle) Saturn and Survive. So, in the Jupiter chakra, simple survival is not what is needed. They have that, and know how to manage their livelihood. Woth their vocation in place, they begin to look around their life for something more than just making a living. They begin to pick up on the next inner chakra, which is the Mars-What moves us.
Those living in the Jupiter chakra tend to be smart,skillful in manipulating life, and able to think and use their head. These mental skills are common to them, so this is not what interests them, not what they value.
Instead, what will interest those in the Jupiter chakra has more to do with meaning- what does it all mean? What is life really about? What is the purpose of life-beyond just surviving? They have learned to survive.They want more out of life. They want feel and be voved.
As pointed out, life in the Jupiter chakra is very mental, clever and pretty much devoid of feeling-Devoid of meaning. Lawyers tend to spend a lot of time in the Jupiter sphere, because they are adept at handling the law(Saturn)- They are great manipulators.
What drives the Jupiter chakra person is the wish to find meaning and sense- What it all means. They search through all the books and traditions…
Jupiter Profile
Let's profile a typical Jupiter Chakra Person
They are successful, ,atleast minimally. They know how to survive and make a living. They tend to use their heads, are thoughtful, and may possess all kinds of manipulative skills. For example, often they are great students very learned and can show off these skills by being witty, clever, funny, etc. You get the idea. They tend to be very good with words, great talkers. They would prefer to talk about something rather than do it.
What is missing for the Jupiter chakra person is any deep motivation or feeling. They yearn for meaning and may spend most of their free time trying to puzzle out the meaning of life-searching. Most of all, they are lonely, and either cannot find a partner or cannot maintain relationships.
So, one of the earnmarks of this chakra is that the person is not married. Marriage is beyoned them at this point, something to look toward and yearn for. So in a nutshell, the Jupiter chakra person is successful, but either single,unmarried, or already divorced. They have not found the inner drive and motivation to push them beyond mental gymnastics into the realm of real emotional care and feeling- marriage- which is the main sign of having entered the Mars chakra.
Mars Chakra
And I am talking about a successful marriage(Mars), the same way we talked about being successful at making a living (Jupiter), not just dabbling in relationships. Please keep in mind that we are speaking here about the most common path or way these various chakras are encountered and mastered, not the only way. It is not uncommon, as we all know, to find some folks more-orless happily married, but unable to gettheir careerin gear. They have it just backward to the usual way of things, which we all knpw from literature is: the yound man first eastablishes a career, and then looks for a wife. It can happen vice versa, but this is not the recommended route. This is why , in the literature of chakras, ther are all kinds of discussion as to the way the chakras are opeded. But most of us open them in the normal order, from Saturn into the Sun, one by one. As pointed out, those in the Jupiter chakra yearn for a partner, or , if it is their wish not to marry at all then they at least wish to bring an end to yearning, by being married to their work, ,or whatever it is they are moved to do in life. Mars is what moves us deepl, what drives us to search for unity, union, or yoga; and the most common form of union(or yoga) is marriage. When we have a successful marriage we have mastered the Mars chakra, not the easiest thing to do these days. We should point out here, also that each inner chakra is progressively harder to accomplish. There are fewer adepts on the inner chakras than there are on the outer ones.
Mars is all about following out inner feeling and meaning to its logical conclusion, which is experience itself-taking the plunge. Those active and successufl in the Mars chakra have harnessed meaning, and have 'made' their marriage, be it to a partner or to their work in the world. They know what life means. So, what do those in the Mars chakra go after? What interests them?
The next chakra inside the Mars is Earth, as all of us know. If Mars has to do with feelings and emotions-with what drives us- then Earth represents
The Earth chakra is the heart center, what has been called the Christ Center itself, the" I AM THAT I AM, "and for no other reason. We are done with reasoning(Jupiter); we are done with meaning( Mars). We become our own meaning this is the point of life here on Earth or as the philosopher, Hegel wrote " We go behind the curtain of the Self, to see what is there, but mainly for
there to be something to be seen. " In the Earth chakra, we become the answer, ourselves, the end of our own questioning, and the end of any question: 'Quest-I-on". It is all right there in the words, "earth" and "heart". These two words have the very same letter: earth, and, heart.
The
The Inner Chakras
Those individuals who reach and master the Earth chakra become mentors and teachers fir the rest of us.You would think that each of us live in the Earth chakra, but this is not the case. While most of us learn to master the Saturn chakra( to make a living) by invoking our Jupiter, and many more master the Jupiter chakra and prove a successul marriage(Mars), fewer are there that master the Earth chakra and become miniature Sun/Earths, shining in the sky for all to see and beguided by.
Even fewer people master the inner chakras, Venus and Mercury, and this writer can only describe, briefly, what these chakras are having had no real experience there;moreover, that description I can offer will be very high-toned, at that. We are taking about something beyond our experience, something we might find in saints and holy persons, ehich I am not : So, please bear with me. What follows is what I understand the literature to say:
Venus, the Key to the Earth Chakra
The key to the Earth chakra is Venus, the next chakra . And this should not come as any surprise. Our poets, mystics and philosophers have been telling us for centuries, in every way they can, that the key to life on Earth is love and caring-and this is the province of Venus, as we all know from Valentine's Day. It is all right there in front of us.
Venus is the inner essence of the Heart, and thus the Key to Earth. In the esoterice literature, Venus stands behind the veiled Sun of the Eath-is of the Heart Center-and there is no material here. Venus is a rendering or loving of all that is- irrespective of personalitites, It is beyond the personal. The idea to understand here is that Venus is beyond and material world, which ends with Earth. There is no way to grasp through our material senses what Venus represents. We can only experience it as we come to know our inner self- as we, ourselves, find our inner sense of compassion and love.
Venus is all the love there is, is the mother of love, and- the Immaculate Conception, for it endlessly conceives in love all that is. This great mother or spiritual force has not ever, does not now, and never will matter in this world, for it is itself beyond the reach of matter. It is the support or womb of all matter, the matrix. It is the uncreated or unborn cornucopia out of which all life endlessly pours, itself forever immaculately conceiving all life. It is total appreciation or Love.
This chakra is the key to our earth-life . It is the essence, or divinity itself, from Earth's viewpoint. In the Christian tradition, this chakra alone is the key and the mother of Christ,forver giving birth to the Christ within us. It is for divine love, that we pray and worship, for this love is the key to our life. Venus is divine love and compassion.
Mercury-The Light of Love
Very few words here, for this is where words cme from. Mercurry, the key to Venus, is itself beyond even love. Mercury( Called Buddha in Sanskrit) is the very Buddha-pure awareness itself. Mercury is the light of love, the pure light of eternal truth, the eternal corona, and the radiance of the Sun Center itself. Mercury is the Voice and Direct Word of the Father Sent forth-God's messenger, what we call the light of consciousness and awareness itself. Pure awareness. Words fail here.
The Sun Center Itself
We could say that the Sun is the key to Mercury, since it is inside Mercury, but that would not be correct. The Sun is the Key not only to Mercury, but to all of the Chakras, and to all creation. It is the center itself, and only 'nothing' can be said here. " It was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be.What we mean here is the Sun as it exists in itself(timeless)- itself the eternal messenger of all time. The sun represents the whole process of life, from alpha to omega. If I had to sum it up, I would have to say:
"The Sun Is Shining"
That's it!
