THE FIFTH CHAKRA.

  1. Chakra Too Open - Over talkative, dogmatic, hyper-critical, self-righteous, arrogant, controlling (needs to manage everything).

  2. Chakra Blocked - Holds back from self-expression, unreliable, reluctant or unable to self express, unreliable, holds inconsistent views, submissive, non-critical (hands over management of life to others).

THE SEVENTH CHAKRA.

  1. Chakra Too Open - Tendency to 'drift off', non-worldy, 'not here at all.' Does not tend to the other chakras of the personality. Possibility of being a drifter or mystic. A master is not a mystic, because a master understands and has control over all the seven chakras, whereas a mystic may not be able to operate in the world or communicate their experiences.

  2. Chakra Too Closed - Stuck in the world of name and form with only disease, old-age, and death. Identification only with the 6 chakras of Mind. Is totally identified with the play, with the actor, and the part. Possibly takes their part too seriously at times. Non-transcendent personality. Cosmic alienation - feeling totally alien to life and heavy attachment to the life of names and forms.
