The more enlightened I feel, the more I find the wisdom deep from within. Lifting my third eye to the heavens brings me back to some mysterious place inside and, on occasion, familiar. That is the Universal Gateway.

I have struggled to fully appreciate this chakra because its role requires me to expand my understanding of the light energy in ways that I might be able to recite but only truly understand once I sit with it for a long, long time.

This tenth, silver chakra is also known as the “collective chakra”. It lies above the Soul Chakra, which lies above the Star Chakra, which lies above the seventh or crown chakra. Each opens as we are prepared to receive its gifts and wisdom; we must prepare to accept without asking that our minds truly understand it – because they can’t. This highlights the difference between belief and knowing. 

For example, I’ve no need to believe in God because I know God. A belief is hoping that God is real. Knowing God means you have experienced grace and compassion that comes from beyond all human measure. We are asked to know things without tangible evidence as we enter these last two chakras (next week is the eleventh chakra or Divine Gateway). 

More than belief. More than understand. Know.

Think of the Universal Gateway as a library where all experience is cataloged and available to you. It is the Library of the Collective Conscious. Here we can see how the energy we emit impacts the greater whole. It also acts as a mirror that reflects our impact – the one we make and the one we wish to make.

To activate your tenth chakra, you must do the work of unlearning and clearing through blockages built from your upbringing and experiences. Everyone judges what has happened and determines how those experiences will control or not control their future. A bad experience in childhood may lead us to believe that we’re not loveable or are worth more or less than others. But none of that has power without our permission.

Take the lesson, leave the baggage.

When you have done the work of relieving false beliefs and feelings of being damaged, you awaken your abilities that are so powerful you may find you can command states of matter at will. Manifesting your deepest desires becomes easier and more quickly. It is essential to call in the heart and its many layers, which are revealed as you deepen your understanding.

Maya Angelou told us that when we know better, we must do better. April Pfender says, “When we learn, we evolve.”*

Ms. Pfender also says, “…heart coherence and universal understanding must begin to be part of every interaction to maintain a higher frequency of a singular being. Heart consciousness and the understanding of oneness and the mind are integral to our human operating system. It is always reaching out and assessing where our frequencies must be neutralized – we know that to transcend anything, neutrality is key. Neutrality doesn’t mean you don’t care; it means we discern wisely.”

It is the difference between reacting versus responding. Someone at a lower vibration may cause a reaction inside you, but with a little time, sometimes a single deep breath’s worth, consideration of the heart and mind can lead you to respond more neutrally and with greater compassion for another’s views. Agreement isn’t necessary for kindness and harmony to exist. Higher vibrations cannot be achieved or retained with lower vibration energy.

And the kicker is that this “higher” vibration is really deeper within. You vibrate outward with greater light once you unlock it from your inner self. It is all just sitting there waiting for you.

If you want to vibrate at a higher level, you must be ready to do the work, letting go of baggage and reexamining beliefs that hold you back. I would be happy to act as your guide. I am only a click away.
