The Holographic Rainbow … Part 4 – The 4th Heart Chakra Vortex

“The yearning for wholeness and freedom that all of us feel reflects our individuated consciousness longing for greater interaction with universal consciousness…  

The Heart-field plays the role of gateway to universal consciousness.” ¹

 Master Charles Cannon

Since consciousness is the substratum of the universe (all universes, imagined and real), the densification into polar opposites is the vehicle for creating experience. Without “heat”, we can’t fathom “cold.” And so it is with universal and individual consciousness, mirrors of each other, reacting “as above, so below.” In reality, all is one. In this play of consciousness, they are separated yet attracted in a never-ending search for equilibrium, borne of light and always in motion.

“Quantum physicists state that the material world is really variable fields or frequencies of energy. 

All energy is ultimately reducible to light.” ²

Emory J. Michael

In “The Synchronicity Key,” David Wilcock agrees, writing that “light is alive. Photons are the most basic form of life in the universe … the universe is made of light and love… light being the masculine force that projects outward and provides raw power in the photon, and love being the feminine force that shapes, molds, and directs the light.  The offspring of light and love are matter and biology, all of which is ultimately alive.”³ Quoting the Law of One material, he writes: “You are everything, every being, every emotion, every event, every situation. You are unity. You are infinity. You are love/light, light/love. You are.” ⁴

And, according to Master Charles Cannon, “loving kindness is the very nature of consciousness. It is in love with itself because there is no other. There is only one blissful consciousness.” ⁵

The fourth, heart chakra is about love, the center of our 7 energy channels and the gateway from the lower to the upper chakras. According to Master Charles, the dense dimensions (chakra vortexes 1-3) tend to be fragmented and mired in illusion while the subtle dimensions (corresponding to universal consciousness, chakra vortexes 5-7) are more unified and truthful in their expression. “Self-awareness is minimized in the dense dimensions and maximized in the subtle dimensions.  We are all constantly downloading information from the all-possibility of universal consciousness into individual consciousness and thus, self-referentially, we create our experience moment by moment-by-moment.” ⁶

“We came here to learn better how to love and to be loved …

to know ourselves well enough to accept and love ourselves genuinely, especially

the “shadow side” we like to keep hidden.” ⁷

Carla Rueckert

The heart chakra form of love is not the passionate, transitory love of the second chakra or the lust of the first chakra … but rather unconditional love. That is, there are no conditions to loving and there is more of a constancy that is palpable. The “loving” is not about “another” but rather a state of being in harmony with oneself. This is called by numerous names, like “balance” or “coherence”. The human journey is about bringing the Mind-field into coherence and removing its disruptive influence on the heart.

When the Mind-field yields through consistent balance,

the Heart-field is actualized and individual and universal consciousness

interact to deliver the experience of true holistic reality

as one blissful consciousness in the here and now of its happening. ⁸

Master Charles Cannon

When coherent, the heart chakra perceives the world as a unity, an interlocking puzzle of relationships perfectly creating each moment for our maximum growth. “It is necessary to remember that the universe is one of vibration and motion, not solidity … each piece of the universe is affecting each other part, all the time.” ⁹

According to Anodea Judith in Wheels of Life, “Relationship is the interface between matter and information, and plays a part in all the levels that lie between. In fact, all information could be regarded as awareness of relationship. These patterns give us the concepts which form the basic structure of our thoughts, communication and perception … The fourth chakra level of consciousness perceives the world as an intricate web of relationships, bound together by the force of love.  Once we perceive objects and their activities as relationships, we begin to perceive the perfection, balance, and eternal nature of these relationships … When we understand the perfection of the relationships around us, it beckons the heart to open.”¹⁰

Excessive characteristics in the heart chakra are demonstrated by:  Codependency (focusing too much on others), poor boundaries, jealousy, being a martyr, being a pleaser. Deficient characteristics can be:  Antisocial, withdrawn, critical, intolerant, lonely, isolated, lack of empathy, fear of intimacy.¹¹

The Synchronicity Socratic Process of Inquiry has been created by Master Charles Cannon as a method for recognizing and disempowering the illusory “stories” in our lives. As he often says, “events happen and then there are the stories we tell about those events.” This explains how our stories – whether they are accurate recollections of something that happened in fact or not – are turned into illusions by our minds.

With increased will power developed in the third chakra, we can focus our wakefulness to dismantle the stories along these lines in the heart chakra: Self-acceptance & Self-forgiveness. The first leads to the second and the  second leads to forgiveness of “others”, creating the openness to love and harmony.

“Love is the attraction exercised on each unit of consciousness by

the center of the universe in its course of taking shape.” ¹²

 Teilhard de Chardin

We can practice opening ourselves to experience universal consciousness’ motion of love as it shapes the light as we described at the beginning of this blog. Maybe that’s why the heart is considered to be the center of our “e-motions”, since it where we experience love. The heart is where the cosmic force of love shapes the light into a vibration that we can perceive as a homecoming, a welcoming to enter and rest in joy and peace. We can experience this love in motion even more when our minds and bodies are “still and open” such as in the practice of meditation.

The element represented by the fourth chakra is air. Our breathing keeps air traveling through the body, giving life, “burning toxins, releasing stored emotions, changing body structure and changing consciousness.“¹³

“If your breathing is in any way restricted, to that degree, so is your life.”¹⁴ 

 Michael Grant White

“Breath, as related to the element air, is one of the primary keys to opening the heart chakra … The breath can actually change the body structure, and once changed, the body hungers for this increased oxygen supply. It is an evolutionary and healing-oriented process … The mind also can be calmed through control of the breath,”¹⁵ and all ancient wisdom traditions have techniques for calming and controlling the breath. Conscious, balanced breathing raises the subtle vibrations within the entire human organism, since breath circulates throughout the entire body and acts more quickly than any other bodily function.

In all of his presentations, Master Charles Cannon encourages everyone to focus on their breath and balance the inward and outward flows. He has also explained how lengthening the in-breath can increase the positive energy which helps to balance the default negative. Also, holding the inward breath at the heart with a focus on flowing feelings of love can expand the amplitude of heart chakra frequencies and increase the experience of blissful reunion with one source consciousness. As Master Charles has often said, “if you want more love in your life, be loving.”

Further exercises to help calm the Mind-field and activate the Heart-field include asking  yourself the questions below. Using the Synchronicity Socratic Process can reveal their illusory beginnings and habitual maintenance. Once this awareness dawns, we see that we have co-created the movies of our lives, with all their harmony and conflict. This can leave us awestruck in the presence of one source consciousness, experienced as love itself. At that point, all that’s left is to ask: “What remains in the stillness of a mind?”
