Chapter 1: The Essence of the Seventh Chakra

In W. B. Yeats' play "On Baile's Strand," which debuted during the Grand Opening of The Abbey Theatre in 1904, the character of Conchubar, the High King, resonates deeply with me as I once portrayed him. This work is relatively unknown to American audiences, but Yeats’ masterful language creates powerful imagery. One line that has lingered in my mind speaks of the King sitting on “a throne too high for insult.”

This phrase evokes a vivid picture. I envision the majestic white cliffs of Dover—or their Irish equivalents—soaring into the sky, with my throne perched atop. Below, on the sandy shores, stand those small-minded critics—akin to today’s social media influencers—hurling their envious barbs. Their harshest insults can barely reach the height of those cliffs, leaving only a faint stain. I remain composed and centered, focused on my responsibilities, unaffected by their negativity.

This notion has endured in my thoughts over the years.

As a dedicated Yogi, I strive to embody this ideal. The King’s throne represents the Crown Chakra, the energy center atop the head that connects us with Cosmic Consciousness. When an enlightened individual maintains awareness at the Crown Chakra, earthly slights lose their power. Renaissance artists often depict such enlightened figures encircled by a radiant aura.

But is my focus always directed there? Those who know me might chuckle and say, “Not at all! Are you serious?” Fair enough; perhaps I need to rein it in a bit.

Yet, this is the goal we all seek—the Holy Grail of spiritual practice. Achieving this state allows us to transcend the physical realm and step into the spiritual, ultimately overcoming worldly challenges.

Imagine the bliss of residing perpetually on a throne too elevated for insult.

The throne represents an aspirational state of being, where one rises above negativity and embraces a higher consciousness.
