While generalizing on ages, I am reminded of the rarely spoken of (very
roughly) seven year cycles of the seven chakras.*
Counting from conception, +/- a year or more, 42 is arounde ending of
the 6th cycle - third eye chakra - things mystical coming to attention -
and beginning of 7th. Hang on around 49! Boom! Then the return trip-
revisiting and deepening of experiencing (note many who awaken do not
teach much for 10-15 years - when in another throat cycle. A profound
awakening before 7th cycle may reset the timeline and kick off the
descent - but once open none "close' - but rather they describe an
emphasis rather than an evolution as on ascent).
Not coincidentally it is traditional in India for some men to set aside
worldly affairs (ideally when business matters are mature/stable,
children are grown) and begin a more contemplative existence around 48.
This has more to do with available time/resources than anything - but so
it is in the West today.
1. 0-7 - Root - Sensuality/security/stability (infancy to early childhood)
2. 7-14 Sacral - Emotions/pleasure/reproductive functioning (Childhood
to puberty)
3, 14-21 Solar plexus - Personal power/growth/metabolism/energy (puberty
to young adult)
4. 21-28 Heart - Union male/female, love, compassion (fist marriage,
career development)
5. 28-35 Throat - Communication/Expression (professional/relationship
development
6. 35-42 Brow/Third eye - End of duality (interest in more 'spiritual
matters' - also divorces/major changes)
7. 42-49 Crown - Pure consciousness (increasing maturity/clarity)
Then back 'down'
-6 - integration
-5 - teaching writing managing
-4 - compassionate interaction
-3 - transfer/shift of 'personal' power (semi-retirement)
-2 - "Golden years" (2nd childhood - good & bad!)
-1 - Dependency, loss of bodily stability, death
Oops, wrong forum! More off topic BS! *L*
