Hildegard von Bingen has captured that so nicely in one of her visions:
a blue Jesus like figure in an oval halo. (Cosmic Christ?)
In my case I did not at first see an 'identifiable' picture of a person in
my brow chakra.
Instead I first noticed myself saying to myself, "There is the blue man!"
Then I saw "the little blue man", and I *vaguely* thought of Krishna, the
blue guy.
Some days later I discovered Hildegard's 'Cosmic Human' picture on the front
cover of a book by Matthew Fox and I said "Hello!?" That was the trendy
thing
to say in those days. But I knew I did not see Jesus, I did think of Krishna
and
Christ though, (which is not necessarily the same as Jesus.)
Later I KNEW it was the proto-type of my integral self as caught in my brow
chakra.
At one point somebody 'taught' me it was Christ consciousness,
I thought: "O well , whatever..."
I do talks on chakras and when I get to comment on the brow chakra I mention
that it is the blueprint chakra, where our
imagination/inspiration/anticipation/intent
foresees and premodels our ideal and original self , kind of an end result
of our reintegration. 'End result' in Greek 'teleios' which also means
perfect
or holy. "Be perfect ...." (teleios) Jesus said.
The inner guru
>The actual physical persons that are given the label "guru" by themselves
or
>others are just that - still very much physical persons with shortcomings
and
>occasional nasty characteristics -
Hey! That is my kind of guru. Being just that, shortcomongs and all,
naughtily nasty at times, and ready to make a mistake or two... merrily
admitting it.
Up with the guru, off with the pedestal.
>And the divine part in the "guruperson" is the same that's divine in all of
us...
>Does this make sense ?
Oh yes, it does.
Wel said, Michael.
(My wife, just last night saw the angel Michael in her heart chakra)
Every chakra has a prototype figure (It is documented in old Tibetan chakra
scrolls)
Love, Wim
