Hello Jacksun, welcome to the forum.
Please note that we appreciate new members posting a brief intro about themselves in the
Newbies section. No need to share personal information, just give us a general sense of what led you to this forum, how long you've been reading it and/or the SOTT page, which of Laura's books you've read to date, etc.

Mate, I will do just that, thank you for the opportunity. I have rather jumped ahead, but I will try to be relevant and minimise the introduction of "noise".
I was going to quote from the "clues" at the start of this post, but it would be messy. Here is my current take on them. I hope it will add "signal".
Connecting the 7th chakra is connecting oneself to a state of unified consciousness of a transcendent nature. It comes about only by an act of willful alignment to Being as opposed to non-being. It is a state of consciousness where we know what to do. It is a state of consciousness where our true self is observed, where our original nature is understood. As our origin, it is our ORION. It is that transcendent identity that unifies us as one soul, with one will. It is us before the fall. It is the fragmented diamond re-made whole.
The C’s are saying, “choose your step and rise accordingly”. In 1995 they advised us to “just let it happen when it is ready”. Now they are pointedly saying that perhaps for many of us, now is that time.
These clues together lead me to think that there is a timely advantage to achieving a unified consciousness now. The clues tell me that this unified consciousness will come about through the individual’s connection to it’s crown charka. The clues tell me that this can be helped through prayer but that an act of conscious agreement is required before that rise can occur. This rise through the charkas is natural and happens when one is ready, but it can be accelerated through various methods, one of which is Sudarshan Kriya.
Kriya Yoga, in all its forms, is but a method to learn to utilize prana, the highest expression of which is thought. It is an act of pranayama, a breathing exercise that accompanies the mindful use of thought.
As we raise this prana up our chakras, we consciously assimilate the energies and thought centers each charka represents. We proceed though this process of frequency tuning to the utilization of the transceiving apparatus that the crown charka is. This then, allows us to connect to the “network” and we effectively become one with all other transceiving units that have attained that frequency. We have metamorphosed. We are one. To me, this is the “return of Christ”. This is our emancipation from the youthful folly of Lucifer. In its light our personalities dissolve, if we will but allow it.
Here are some more excerpts from chapter III of Raja Yoga by Swami Vivekananda.
“The Yogis say that behind this particular manifestation there is a generalisation. Behind all particular ideas stands a generalised, an abstract principle; grasp it, and you have grasped everything…So all forces have been generalised into this Prana, and he who has grasped the Prana has grasped all the forces of the universe, mental or physical. He who has controlled the Prana has controlled his own mind, and all the minds that exist. He who has controlled the Prana has controlled his body, and all the bodies that exist, because the Prana is the generalised manifestation of force…
each man must begin where he stands, must learn how to control the things that are nearest to him. This body is the nearest thing to us, nearer than anything in the universe, and this mind is the nearest of all. The Prana which is working this mind and body is the nearest to us of all the Prana in the universe. This little wave of the Prana which represents our own energies, mental and physical, is the nearest wave to us of all that infinite ocean of Prana… This Prana is the vital force in every being, and the finest and highest action of Prana is thought.”
