Now you're opposing Mr. Bruce on 2 issues.
"So if the main power supply to your house isn't working properly you'd still go plugging in more electrical devices?"
This is a flawed analogy. According to NEW, the primary chakras don't supply the energy body with most of it's energy, the 3 main energy storage centers do. (sub-naval, sub-heart, sub-brow)
As for the other thing, what you're saying is clearly contrary to what Mr. Bruce teaches through NEW. Let's compare quotes:
"To pay special attention to secondary chakras you must first have all the primary chakras active and healthy. Not to do so is a sure way to bring on illness both physical and emotional." - James S
Robert Bruce in NEW Online (Pg. 2 - The Energy Body)
"The primary energy centres and their higher functions cannot properly be developed or used (barring accident or natural ability), until their underlying energy support structures have been developed to allow this. If attempts are made to develop and use the higher centres first, a great deal of time must be spent waiting for these support structures to develop in response to the new demands being placed upon them. The lower energetic circuitry will eventually develop in response to higher energetic demands but this will happen very slowly, often requiring many years of waiting time.
Early bioenergetic development work, especially involving primary energy centres, causes some pretty major disruptions and realignments to occur within the existing structure of the energy body. New energy pathways are formed and old or blocked ones are redefined and cleared. This happens in response to the greater demands placed upon support structures, through the changed requirements and energy demands of the higher primary centres. Until these support structures develop to the point where they can meet this greater demand, energy can be taken from the storage areas of the energy body. This can drain the bio-energetic aspect of the etheric body, and can even cause the physical body itself to become energetically depleted; which can cause physical tiredness.
Primary energy centre work should never be undertaken too vigorously, or at too early a stage of development. To avoid most potential problems, and before any primary centres are worked upon, supporting structures need to be developed, nurtured and conditioned to handle a greater flow of energy.
The first step in developing the energy body is to stimulate and clear individual secondary energy centres, energy exchange port clusters and connecting energy pathways. While this process may sound laborious, it yields great developmental rewards in the long term. Once this process is underway, energy will begin flowing more freely and strongly throughout the energy body. This alone promotes faster and healthier development in every aspect of the energy body, while also empowering the immune system and other self-healing processes of the physical body."
