Chakras, vortices, are consciousnesses.
Thus, we have a C1 (the consciousness of the everyday, the “I” most people think they are), and a C2, the second, fully-independent, decision making consciousness which runs a little faster than the C1 (it’s a C2 world, we only live in it; with veto power over the C2 suggestions even when we do hear “the little voice in the back of our head”), both of which have access to the same memory banks. (The brain is a just a hard-drive with programs on it.) In addition there are 9 housekeeping consciousnesses, or housekeeping chakras; left foot, right foot, left hand, right hand, groin, spine, belly, thyroid and mouth and also the heart chakra or consciousness.
