Recently I've been having an interesting experience with my chakras during meditation. namely, that there have been extra ones. Now, I had read about extra, or 'higher' chakras a while ago, and eventually sort of settled on the idea, by observing my own chakra system outside of the physical context, that te Sahasrara, or Crown, chakra was the beginning of the Ego, the point at which divine consciousness, kethric light, the force, etc., becomes funneled into a 'singular' being, becoming ever more refined from a pure subtle matter into the gross physical existence that we commonly experience.

Well, at the time, I theorized in my own mind that if the distance from the 'Pure Gross Manifestation' point and the 'Pure Subtle Origin' point were an infinite distance apart outside of space and time (which, at that point, is synonymous with being the 'same point') then there must be a seemingly infinite number of chakras, each chakra being in reality a waypoint for the shifting of subtle energy towards either the gross or subtle side of existence, respective to the direction the energy is going.

Well, I have been working with my chakras since I started meditation in earnest, when i was in my preteens somewhere. The past sort of flows together at this point so it's hard to say when, but it was before highschool. At first it caused me a bunch of problems, and then I found a teacher and some good books that set me straight, and since then it's been a fascinating journey into the nature of consciousness. Well, in the last month or so, I've been able to sense very distinctly an additional chakra above my crown. When I center my consciousness there, which I can only do for moments at a time before losing concentration, I shift into a heightened state of consciousness that defies my previous definition of expanded consciousness. I'm used to the crown being my 'peak' experience in expansion, which is in itself still something profoundly different than my normal awareness. But this eighth chakra is outside the ego all together. I don't identify as individual in the normal sense of it when I move myself there. I identify myself as, paraphrased, 'the human race'. Already I can sense a ninth chakra above the eighth, but I cannot effectively center my consciousness there.

Well, I went digging around and found this site: Psychic Children

It lists three higher chakras. It also has a lot of other information which makes for an interesting read, namely a particular bit about genetic mutation. Now, it wasn't until recently that I was able to accept the theory of 'extra DNA', because I couldn't find a consesus on the issue from a medical or scientific point of view. Narrow of me, granted, but if people are going to talk about matters that are disprovable, then they ought to be able to back it up with research.

Well, I still have to dig up the names they list here, but some time ago I theorized to my friends that we would one day discover that HIV, Cancer, these sorts of diseases, while killing off a great many people, are in reality altering our DNA where it can be done. Lo and behold, they mention just such a sort of thing on this site....

Anyone have any supporting or disproving research they know of? I'm trying to track down as much as I can, in addition to my own method of personal research that of course no journal would ever publish. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/witch.gif)

I'm in a hurry, but I'll come back, with force!
