The problem with the crown chakra

The crown chakra is the highest, divine
center, the center of the divine spirit, the absolute, impersonal, cosmic
consciousness. A highly developed master has realized this cosmic consciousness
and so he is able to let the Divine Spirit speak through him with total
authority and absolute power.

Such a high self-realization takes a very
long spiritual training and is rarely accomplished even by serious
practitioners. Now, when you take a look at normal humans, then we can see that
the crown chakra is active to some degrees, more or less. Some students on the
spiritual path might have a better developed crown chakra. This depends on
their former spiritual training in past lives.

When we go back to the master with his
cosmic consciousness, then we see that it is an aspect of a perfectly refined
and developed divine personality. This means inter alia that his divine authority  and absolute power from the crown chakra is
balanced by the heart chakra with its virtues of compassion, wisdom, love and
understanding. And this means that normally, the master does not use his
authority in a pure way but wraps it into love, making it smooth and good to
take. Normal people and spiritual students simply cannot take the full power of
the divine authority and so it must be “prepared”, so that it fits
individually. Therefore, students feel comfortable with the messages of their master.
They feel understood. They feel the love and compassion which the master has
for them. And they feel that they can take it and process it in mind and soul.

If a master would not work in this way, the
messages of the divine authority could easily destroy or damage students and
normal people.

Now, we can see these destructive effects
when normal people and students make subconsciously use of their crown chakra
without using the heart chakra to balance it. And this is a real problem.

It starts with parents or teachers at school
who are in a situation where they appear as authorities with power over
children. From their crown chakra, they subconsciously draw energy and then
unleash their messages towards the powerless individuals, here the children
with penetrating and destructive effects. “You messed up everything! You are
stupid! Shame on you!” and so on. The child has no protection and feels broken.
It will take a lot of effort to build up the self-confidence of the child again.
The adults who behave like this are not aware of what they are doing. It is a
misuse of authority, of the crown chakra.

We know such examples also from all kinds
of people in positions of power, – the boss in the company, doctors, educators,
teachers, etc.

A special situation is when spiritual
students get into states of a certain activation of the crown chakra and then
give “messages” to others, to fellows or people. The power of authority is
higher and more penetrating, more powerful and with this certainly also more
destructive. The results are, that they easily damage good relations with their
spiritual fellows or in their own families, etc.

The authority “style” in communication is
probably the most hated and least tolerated way of delivering messages. So, if
you communicate like this, you can easily grow the number of real enemies.

The hidden message, intended or not, is
that the “authority” is better than the receiver of the message. It is not a
communication on eye level.  

Exactly this problem, we can find on social
media platforms like Facebook where people discuss topics, feeling like
superior authorities. It just causes a lot of hate and damage, instead of a
nice exchange of experiences and points of view for growing together in
understanding.

As you can imagine, I recommend becoming
aware of such behavior and to balance the crown chakra activities with the
virtues of the heart. In this way, you will grow the number of people who
appreciate and like you. It is also a necessary step towards real mastery.
