Level 6 of the platform, focusses on ‘Aesthetics’. This is an opportunity to develop aptitude in mental clarity and then go on to address perception and a level of understanding of all that is around us in the bigger picture.

Before we do that we need to have all of the previous levels at a very competent level, such that we can almost do things on a sub-conscious auto-pilot mode. This gives us the headspace for mental clarity and perception.

Level 6 Aesthetic skills is a pre-runner to being ready on the next level, which is self actualisation where we look beyond the self and our surroundings to a spiritual world of existence.

The equivalent ‘sixth’ level of the elements is beyond the wider known boundaries of what many call the ‘Five Elements’. It  is called ‘Light Element’, and runs far deeper than any of the others. While there is no specific element widely written about at this level, Hikari 光, appears to be a great candidate. Hikari is about light and hope, and this is so relevant and essential for all warriors and warrior communities.

In many stories and beliefs, we find readings of ‘light’ and ‘dark.’ By seeking the light in all that we do, on the previous 5 levels, we can develop hope in the present and the future, on the sixth level element.

The equivalent of the chakra system is called is  ‘Ajna’, which focuses on perception and spirituality. Ajna, is known as the third eye chakra. It is written in sanskrit as आज्ञा

Ajna supports us on the aesthetic level to harbour a deep and ‘Commanding’ understanding of ‘Perception’.

The virtues of this chakra are vision, intuition, dreams, insight, perception, equanimity, (balance) and clairvoyance. All of these virtues, are closely linked to opening the third eye chakra.

 Achievement on this level has little to do with anything physical or the community, and yet all of these things need to be in balance, or at the very least within reasonable boundaries of acceptable control. Great personal discipline is needed, with massive concentration, yet a relaxed state of mind.
