Yes we are!

Oh I think some are more than happy that many dwell there! It does make for rather loyal consumers!

Its a great site thanks again for the link, you are so right to remind us of the lower chakras, I tend to think of light and dark but all the same there is much suffering on this planet because of this and it is certainly not wise to forget to bear all elements in mind whilst practising.
Many a yogi has wandered from the path.
The thing with the lower chakras is that we may well believe that they are the upward ones. It is far from black and white.

More like shades of grey.
