CTL1 · Class 21

See participation, preserve choice

The idea at the heart of this classAura and layers

The point and the ringA seated figure with seven points along its center line, from the base of the spine to inside the head, and seven glowing petal rings around it, layer one closest to the body. The layers open in turn while a pearl of light rises up the spine; when the seventh opens, a spiral blossoms above the head.
Point: the chakra, an ability or informationRing: its layer, how that part of life is goingColors only tell the layers apart. In the course, a layer's color is something the reader looks for in each reading, not a fixed code.
Starting at the base
Reading the second chakraCan this person feel?The ability itself.
Reading the second layerHow is feeling going?How emotion and sensuality are actually being lived.

The school's own model, taught as metaphysics rather than anatomy. Class 17 corrects “chakra” to “layer” in a partner task because the two are not interchangeable.

This class’s practice

Seeing where you take part in a picture

6 steps, playing in turn. Choose a number to hold one.

Read all seven layers, twenty minutes each: where is the person inside someone else's picture, in each layer?

CTL1 Class 21, class recording, 54:23 to 54:44

Look for active participation: the person putting their own life force into maintaining someone else's picture.

CTL1 Class 21, class recording, 54:48 to 55:09

Because this is the sixth layer, emphasize clear vision: see clearly, own what you see, stay neutral, do not judge.

CTL1 Class 21, class recording, 55:14 to 55:27

Before blowing the picture, first see where you agreed with it and how your body got used to it.

CTL1 Class 21, class recording, 58:36 to 59:01

Pictures can linger when you are uncertain, such as a loved one's gift or a career built on it; seeing it all brings certainty.

When you bring the picture back up, it may show other aspects than the reader saw, and no one has to be wrong.

An explanation of attraction does not settle every cause

Ideas hereAura and layersEarth and cosmic energyGroundingRosesTrance as a class setting

Late in the course, reading can become less scripted. A reader can be given a target and still find the method from the tools already learned. Certainty is part of that shift. The reader does not need every step supplied from outside before looking.

When cosmic energy feels too open or diffuse, use a line of direction. Draw a line from where the energy is being retrieved to your side. That line is not a cord to another person. It is a guide for the flow, so the energy has direction without creating an attachment.

If the same reading message keeps appearing and you do not feel it, look at that specific matter. Read it yourself or ask for a buddy reading focused on it. Another general reading may only repeat the same surface. Sometimes an answer lands later. Sometimes a picture is covered because some part of the space believes it needs protection. Fear of asking is already information.

If you repeatedly fall asleep when you arrive for practice, run energy shortly before you enter. Do it right before arrival, not only earlier in the day. Also change the body setup if it supports dropping out, such as leaning the head against a wall. A deep sensation before sleep can mean the body needs a practical adjustment before the deeper work begins.

Attraction explains why an odd energy may appear in someone's space. Energy attracts energy. Hunger attracts a meal. A picture can attract a being, situation or atmosphere. If an apartment feels strange and that strangeness becomes the focus, the person may be opening the door to the same quality of energy in their own space.

Turbulence can also move outward. Turbulence in the person's space may manifest as turbulence around them so it can be cleared physically. That does not make every hard event a conscious creation. A person may handle energy before the physical information arrives. Feeling sick before bad news is not the same as creating the news.

When a difficulty is already approaching, non-resistance is the tool. You may not be able to destroy the future event before stepping into it. Meet it without adding friction. Resistance makes the entry rougher.

Energy that is ignored can move inward through the aura layers. At first it may be noticed as a sign or oddity. Then it may become a feeling. Eventually it can reach the level where the body demands attention. Presence matters because the body and aura are like a house: if no one lives there and cares for it, anything can get in and deterioration goes unnoticed.

The inward route is described as signs at outer layers, feeling at the second layer, and disease, tumor, growth or pain when it reaches the first layer and body. The practical answer given here is awareness, sensitivity and care for the space before energy has to get that loud.

Tools are not locked to one layer. A rose, grounding, running energy and other tools can be used wherever they work. If destroying a rose is difficult, use another tool for a while. The point is to keep energy moving, not to resist a tool because it is not working that day.

Ordinary irritation also exists. Heat, smells, food and room discomfort can light people up without needing a grand energetic explanation. Practical conditions can be handled practically.

Being seen while keeping the choice to engage

Ideas hereAura and layersChakrasGoldGroundingNeutralityRoses

The sixth reset separates several targets that can be confused:

  1. Renew grounding, enter the center of the head and adjust the lower three chakras.
  2. Notice the aura layer highlighted in your recent growth. Create a rose for that layer.
  3. Look at the rose's vibration and color, ground it, let stimulated energy drain and destroy it.
  4. Look at a picture about your sixth chakra. This is not the cone-shaped chakra itself. It is the picture of what the sixth does and what it is for.
  5. Retrieve life force from that picture and destroy it.
  6. Notice cords attached to the sixth for communication, retrieval or influence. Cut what you can see.
  7. Create a grounding cord from the sixth to the center of the earth. Drain residue and invalidation.
  8. Set the sixth spinning so it can reset in present-time vision.
  9. Look for a new picture or vibration of sixth-chakra abilities.
  10. Fill the sixth first with gold sun. Then release resistance in the sixth layer and fill the rest of aura and body.

The sixth is not intuition. Intuition belongs with the fifth. The sixth is vision, clairvoyance, trusting what is seen, being seen and nonreaction. Vision leads attention and life force. Wherever vision goes, the person's energy follows.

Neutrality changes that movement. When you love someone, you give energy. When you hate someone, you also give energy through resistance. When you are neutral, you do not have to feed the thing you see. You can see clearly and still choose whether to engage.

Being seen means your own life force is visible. If you travel the world representing Starbucks, Starbucks is being seen through you. If you repeat your father's business and image, your father is being seen through you. When you create with your own energy, something appears that has never existed before and will not exist again in that exact way.

Being seen is vulnerable because it exposes the creative part of you. It is not only about leaving a public mark. It is about what happens when your own life force receives life by being shown. Most hiding is a way to avoid that vulnerability.

Neutrality can disturb people who expect your energy. Someone used to receiving reaction may call neutrality selfish or uncaring. Neutrality does not create the separation. It highlights the separation that was already there: your space and their space are different. You still have to choose how to act, but you are no longer required to react in order to prove care.

Growth in abilities can be uneven. Neutrality may become strong while confidence in reading feels shaky. That does not make the growth wrong. Neutrality may be the foundation that lets the next level of sight develop. Clear seeing without reaction gives choice.

The movie-theater image shows the choice. A screen can be in front of you, and you may have paid for the seat, but you still decide whether to engage. From the sixth, one apparent option can branch into five more. You can see where your attention and life force would go, then choose.

Movement continues after this course. More practice can open more doors, but the next step is not forced. Support, rest, resistance to change and desire for more training all belong in the decision. The sixth gives a place to see the choice, not an order to intensify everything at once.

Dislike is not the same as hate. Hate pushes and spends energy. It creates a wall and limits access. Neutrality leaves a door. You may open it or close it. Having access does not mean you must enter every difficult situation.

Functioning from a chakra is not one permanent setting

Ideas hereAttention and resistanceAura and layersChakrasCreating and destroyingEarth and cosmic energyRosesTrance as a class setting

Functioning from a chakra means interpreting and engaging life force through that avenue. A song can reach someone through the fourth as affinity. A job can be sought through first-chakra survival, third-chakra competition, fourth-chakra love or fifth-chakra expression. The activity is the same kind of activity, but the avenue is different.

Ideally, all chakras are spinning, open in a healthy way and available. In practice, people may use only a few. Some people run mostly through the lower three, and achievement becomes the highest available expression. Others stay in ideas, dreams and concepts without bringing them to earth. The task is not to box a person. It is to understand what each chakra does and notice the avenue being used.

Clockwise and counterclockwise spin can both be healthy. The important point is movement. Trance lowers other settings so the sixth is easier to access, but trance is not the only way to use the sixth. A person can engage one chakra while the others remain open.

Lowering other chakras may help some people learn what sixth-chakra functioning feels like. For others it may light up a picture that the sixth is wrong, impossible or belongs to someone else. More reduction is not always better. Work with the picture that is present.

Being fully in the body does not require functioning only from the sixth. You can be in the body while functioning from any of the seven. The center of the head is one indicator that you are in, but it is not the only indicator.

Racing thoughts are energy. This meditation is not mainly about forced focus. It is about being present, noticing and staying neutral. A thought can appear without carrying your attention away. If attention attaches to it and leaves with it, notice that too and return.

Control can soften gradually. If the body still tries to manage every movement of earth and cosmic energy, let the progress already made count. Five months of practice can move a lot of control without removing all of it.

Do not confuse rose clearing with attacking the aura. Putting collected energy in a rose and destroying the rose is one operation. Blowing holes in the aura with an imagined weapon is another. The second can make holes and damage the aura. Clear the energy without attacking the container.

Look at participation, then decide what to release

Ideas hereAttention and resistanceAura and layersChakrasGoldMock-upsNeutralityOwnershipPast lives and the gold ringRosesTrance as a class settingWho does what in a reading

The sixth sees truth without judging it. A job title, relationship or role may be what a person is wearing, not the whole truth of the person. A clairvoyant can sometimes see what someone does not know how to show. The way it is communicated matters. Panic shuts down communication. Neutrality lets the truth be seen without making it a threat.

The "loser" picture moves through the upper layers too. If a person cannot see that they are not a loser, they cannot express success, identify as a success story, find tools for achievement or feel success lower down. Vision leads the chain. The work is to see the truth of the picture clearly before trying to change it.

The partner reading asks one question in all seven layers: where is this person inside someone else's picture? The target is active participation. Look for where the person is putting life force, attention or body energy into maintaining another person's picture. This is different from merely having foreign energy nearby.

Read twenty minutes each:

  1. Ask for the person's name and establish the reading space.
  2. In each layer, find the picture that belongs to someone else.
  3. Look for where the person is inside it.
  4. Describe how they are actively maintaining it with life force.
  5. Emphasize clear vision. Own what is seen. Stay neutral. Do not judge.

After such a reading, do not immediately bring up the picture and destroy it. First inspect participation. Where did you agree with it? Where did it become familiar? How did the body get used to functioning that way? How much uncertainty kept it in place?

Certainty moves energy. A picture may linger because it came from someone who loves you, because your whole career was built on it, or because it has been there so long that removing it feels presumptuous. Once you see the agreement and familiarity, you can retrieve life force and make a present-time choice.

Your own rereading may show other aspects than a side chair saw. That does not automatically make either reading wrong. Different positions can reveal different pieces of the same picture. Look again, retrieve your own information and decide what to release.

Matches do not always announce themselves in one way. A match may be personal, cultural, societal or old. It may not come with a clear recognition in the back of the head. Yawning, lightness, elation or movement can show energy clearing even when the match is not logically identified.

The closing practice joins compassion with nonreaction:

  1. Unmatch from the reading partner and clear the energy of the night into a rose.
  2. Say hello to sixth-chakra nonjudgment.
  3. Acknowledge access to feeling, emotion and compassion alongside vision that does not react.
  4. Create a gold bubble mock-up for what comes next.
  5. Ground it, drain others' energy, notice that you are still in the body and release it.
  6. Fill with gold sun, place protection roses around the aura, breathe, stretch and return.

In everyday life. Before discarding a familiar commitment, ask how you participate in keeping it alive, what you value about it and what you would choose now. Also ask what would change your interpretation. Nonreactivity can create room for an answer without making your first answer infallible.

Possible answers

An old picture may persist because it contains loyalty or familiarity, not only because it is imposed. Neutrality can preserve a choice while another person still experiences distance. Different readings may reveal different aspects, but a factual contradiction still needs sorting out. Feeling movement doesn't require conscious self-recognition.

Recording notes

C21: Class 21 Full.mp3

C21-01 · 00:00:00–00:01:40 · Fragmentary opening and final-course check-in

Unclear chatter then reading felt good/certain with free-form instructions.21weeks/next last class, growth leveling and sixth/seventh preview. Audio begins after some activity; opening reading not reconstructed.

C21-02 · 00:01:43–00:04:26 · Direction line and repeated reading uncertainty

Participant cosmic seventh issue helped by beam; recording line of direction explicitly not cord, supports retrieval. Participant recurring finding not felt personally; specific self/buddy read suggested, delayed understanding possible, protection hypothesis. Participant admits scared to ask; no automatic acceptance merely three readers agreed.

C21-03 · 00:04:30–00:05:17 · Repeated sleep report

Participant cannot stay awake, asks Red Bull; recording run energy immediately before arrival, avoid wall head-rest. Deep sensation then sleep described. No medical explanation or assurance of safety read from sequence.

C21-04 · 00:05:17–00:09:09 · Dragon, attraction and physical manifestation

Reader and Ken found no family/responsibility picture for apartment dragon. possible energy without connection yet usually attracting energy/picture. Hunger/Chipotle analogy; participant weird-door speculation affirmed; turbulence externalized to clear, chakra creates aura reality is source model, not external entity proof.

C21-05 · 00:09:09–00:10:27 · Anticipation distinguished from causing bad day

Participant chicken/egg asks foresight versus manifesting. handling energy before physical information, explicitly not creating it, stomach/bad-news analogy. Non-resistance for forthcoming difficulty rather than unable-to-blow future event. Tension with preceding manifestation account not harmonized into universal cause.

C21-06 · 00:10:29–00:13:40 · Inward invasion, health assertion and tools choice

Recording claims ignored energy progresses inward, second feeling then first disease/tumor/growth/pain. Unsupported causality, not established diagnosis. Mansion unoccupied analogy for body awareness, layer tour gives possible experiences. All tools for any layer; style/what works, destruction may difficult so other tools allowed until interest shifts.

C21-07 · 00:13:42–00:15:11 · Question deferred and room conflict

Non-resistance upsetting others deferred; hot room/fan/food-smell irritation/apology, move room second half. Several voices ambiguous; ordinary classroom friction is not resolved spiritual diagnosis.

C21-08 · 00:15:13–00:25:05 · Sixth reset: picture is not cone itself

New ground/head/lower-three; rose specific growth layer/drain/destroy. Picture about sixth purpose differs chakra cone; withdraw own life force then destroy. Cut perceived communication/influence cords, ground sixth to earth/drain residue/invalidation/spin reset. New abilities picture may only vibration; gold sun fill sixth first then loosen resisting sixth-layer settings and fill rest/breathe/stretch/eyes.

C21-09 · 00:25:08–00:29:39 · Vision, neutrality and what being seen means

Intuition corrected fifth, vision/trust sixth. Vision directs attention/life force; neutrality avoids automatic feeding. Being seen means unique own energy creation, not displaying Starbucks/father. Artist question shifts emphasis outward mark to effect on vulnerable creator. Not proof observer sees accurate underlying self.

C21-10 · 00:29:39–00:31:24 · Neutrality may be received as selfishness

Participant mother perceived neutrality as lack of care; others report reaction pressure/not defending. highlights existing separate spaces rather than creating separation; love/hate both feed energy, own/others space. Report does not establish all criticism manipulation or remove responsibility for actions.

C21-11 · 00:31:24–00:35:39 · Neutrality growth without expected vision progress

Participant improved neutrality but doubt/fear reading returns. Recording tentatively may need neutrality foundation for desired vision, growth appropriate, not remedial. Clear seeing without reaction offers choice, movie/branching-options analogy; own decisions versus universe sets everything. Brief no picture/no hearing response ambiguous preserved.

C21-12 · 00:35:40–00:37:55 · Continuing change and course timing undecided

Participant asks recording life constant flux; recording movement inevitable, resistance/pace and ground/release tools. Participant split July/January level2 and wants break yet dislikes losing support; empathy, no directive decision. Break/move rooms.

C21-13 · 00:37:58–00:39:32 · Dislike, hate and access

Love sharing versus hate pushing resistance distinguished from disliking. Resistance wall versus neutrality open/close door; access with choice, not compulsory engagement. Sixth-layer pictures condition ability access.

C21-14 · 00:39:34–00:42:42 · Functioning means avenue of interpretation and life force

Question all chakras engaged corrected: ideally open/healthy accessible, not always actually. Functioning from means interpret/engage through avenue, examples song/job survival/competition/love/expression. Some only lower, some float in ideas unable realize; ideals different from descriptions. Recognition not boxed, individualized.

C21-15 · 00:42:45–00:44:51 · Spin direction and flexible trance settings

Clockwise/counterclockwise both healthy in model. Lowering others supports accent sixth but not only route; can engage chakra with others open. Helpful some, impossible/wrong picture may reverse effect.100% embodied can function from any seven; head center one indicator, not only one.

C21-16 · 00:44:53–00:47:19 · Thoughts and time for relinquishing control

Racing thoughts could any chakra/energy; this meditation notice/be neutral rather than focus. Noticing thought differs attention following it. Participant micromanages running energy; recording acknowledges five-month progress, give body time, not instant failure or no active setup.

C21-17 · 00:47:19–00:48:08 · Shotgun imagery is not rose clearing

Participant imaginary shotgun holes in aura seems remove foreign energy. Recording warns may damage aura, calls whack stopped/solid energy hit. Different target/action from collecting energy in rose; garbled bra wording not repaired. Source warning retained, not physical anatomy claim.

C21-18 · 00:48:12–00:53:23 · Seeing truth without judgment and hierarchy claim

Sixth includes clairvoyance/nonreaction; hidden truth due anticipated impact. Job/relationship worn identities not whole truth; spider panic versus neutral acknowledgment analogy, judgment closes communication. Loser question extends fifth/fourth cascade to sixth vision, then achievement/feeling/money. Recording success/broke deterministic chain unsupported, not guarantee or blame.

C21-19 · 00:53:23–00:55:33 · Seven-layer active-investment reading

20minutes each40total, where recipient inside someone elses picture each layer. Clarifies actively maintaining with own life force, not mere external picture presence. Accent clear vision/own it/non-judgment.

C21-20 · 00:55:53–00:58:36 · Debrief and access when useful

Sparse congratulations/performance chatter not full reading. Recording asks how active investment/body energy visible, guilt/selfishness in own creation cultural interpretation. Explicit need not function sixth24/7; use to inspect stuck job/trip/date or new creation.

C21-21 · 00:58:36–01:00:50 · Inspect involvement before destruction; viewpoints differ

Participant asks just bring up/read picture/blow; recording first see agreement/habit/body familiarity to retrieve life force and become certain choice. Loved-one/career tenure can keep uncertain picture. Own rereading may show different aspects from side-chair, not exact replay. no ones wrong is assertion, not adjudication of incompatible readings. Gratitude and irritation possible responses, therapy-coverup quip not psychotherapy evidence.

C21-22 · 01:00:50–01:03:21 · Matches need not be consciously self-recognized

Participant recognized family match once yet lighter/elated after others; recording cultural/societal/personal/past matches feel different, particular back-head recognition not criterion. Reading communication moves energy; participant yawning/lighter report not logical matching. Instructor interpretation distinct from independent validation; refines dispute in20.

C21-23 · 01:03:22–01:11:51 · Compassion with nonreaction and next mock-up

Last Memorial-Day class logistics then unmatch/class rose, hello sixth nonjudgment with feeling/compassion accessible. Abilities engage spirit and richer-life claim; body/spirit daily sacred-space care. Gold bubble what next mock-up/ground drain others, remain body/head (face corrected), cut cord/release, gold refill/protection/breathe/stretch/return. Online final moved Saturday before graduation.
