Kundalini and Tantra: The Transpersonal Chakras

The Transpersonal Chakras
The Chakras above the crown could be designated transpersonal (although
this term has a number of different meanings, and often equated with
higher vibrations of Light and Sound. In some cases the Sahasrara chakra
is equated with the crown of the head and is therefore transitional -
either the highest personal or the lowest transpersonal chakra. In other
instances it is located above the head, and one (or more?) interemediate
chakras are placed between the crown and the Sahasrara.
Both the original Radha Soami (Sant Mat) and Ann Ree Colton refer to six
lower chakras (Muladhara to Ajna), which are personal and associated
with the body or microcosm (pinda in Sant Mat), and six higher chakras,
beginning with the Sahasrara chakra , corresponding to the higher stream
of Light and Sound.
A New Age description of Higher Chakras
Recently there has been a New Age development of the Transpersonal
Chakra thesis that seems quite profound (originally at http://www.ozi.com/qdc/evenstar/activate.html
"ACTIVATION OF THE TWENTY CHAKRA SYSTEM WITH LIGHT BODIES" - no longer
on-line - Internet Archive ). The following is quoted from the web page,
together with my own interpretation:
The chakras are: Earth Star, Link, Base, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart,
Thymus, Throat, Third Eye, Frontal, Causal, Crown, Soul Star, Stellar
Gateway, then into One Chakra, One Body.
Comment: This series clearly overlaps, but is not synonymous with, the
standard Base to Crown sequence. The lower chakras (beneath the Base
chakra) would be "yin transpersonal" and link one to the Earth, the
higher ones (above the Crown (top of head) chakra) would be "yang
transpersonal" and link to the Cosmos
Then through the Universal Gateway, Cosmic Gateway and One Chakra and
One Body.
Comment: Another reference to the "yang transpersonal" chakras
Then we move through the Light Bodies which have no sound that we make,
but the Celestial Sound within each, The Blue Light Body which
transmutes the physical and etheric blueprint.
Comment: This "Blue Light Body" seems similiar to (if not the same as)
Barbara Brennan's "Etheric Template", which is the higher octave of the
etheric body.
The Violet Light Body which transmutes the emotional and mental bodies
moving 5th Dimensional.
Comment: This and the following might be similar to or same as Barbara
Brennan's "Celestial Body", which is the higher octave of the emotional
body.
Then the White Light Body, merging all into Divine Light, the creative
fields of energy into synchronistic resonance, the masters vibration.
Then the Gold Light Body, your true essence, solar self and ascension
through the Central Sun.
Comment: Barbara Brennan's "Ketheric Template" is the highest personal
level (apart from the mysterious "eigth" and "ninth" bodies), and is
gold in colourm, and carries the impressions of past lives. It is
equivalent to the Theosophical Causal body. Alternatively it might be a
higher octave of Ketheric body, there is really no way to tell from the
limited info available.
The "Central Sun" is a Theosophical idea, a sort of divine super sun at
the center of our galaxy. Of course there is no evidence for such an
object, just the oppsoite, it is believed by astronomers that there is
actually a massive black hole at the center of the galaxy. The Central
Sun symbolically however can be taken to represent the Noetic/Atzilutic
reality. Or even the Manifest Godhead or Truth Consciousness, the
Aurobindoan "Supermind" which Sri Aurobindo describes using the imagery
of the sun.
