Hi Open,

This exploration is very intersting - it brings up questions about the 8th and 9th chakra. Of the inner paternal and maternal frequencies - Metatron and Quan Yin.

It would seem to me that they are something to be especially worked with and integrated to make sure not to fall into the trap of subtly needing a paternalistic or maternalistic energy to 'do it for you' or settle into comfort and ease.

I was wondering then, are there also distortions to watch out for in these chakras? In expressing those energies in our own lives?

As parents or carers for others but also as leaders. For me, it's important to watch out for when I might say 'here, let me do it for you' - it happens when I perceive that the situation would become quicker, easier and less complicated - a distortion of my own.

A paternalistic expression might want to be overly protective or impose a 'higher' truth on someone before they've had a chance to explore it themselves. Instead, providing guidance or focus to someone on the path they're already on, only stepping in with protection when needed (with kids for example).

A maternalistic expression might want to cosset or overly empathise, causing some inertia in how something is processed - a person feels very seen and understood, but never challenged to break through or see how it might be distorted. Instead, to empathise in a way that keeps the focus on someones internal process. To express the energy but keep it moving.

What would you suggest?

I wonder if working with Metatron especially would be an antidote to interference from Ra. Perhaps we can explore this more?

Thanks for the exploration,

Rich
