In the first part of What Color Is My Pain?, Chakra teaches us about the roots of the illness that continue to undermine all humankind's health and well-being and informs us, with sincerity and grace, that Love is the only medicine that can heal us.

As a member of 'The Team,' his spirit entity group, Chakra, offers their unique perspective on the human condition. He addresses our need to heal as individuals and as members of our cultural and racial groups.

I used to refer to Chakra as the 'Dr. Spock' of 'The Team' because of his profound understanding of our human reality and his masterful ability to strip a thing 'down to the bone' and transmute something, impossibly complex or controversial, into a simple, clear, and undeniable truth.

When addressing the issue of race, there is a tendency for people to be more reactive than open when faced with any role they may have played in the matter. We usually find ourselves either bowing our heads in shame and denial or rearing up offensively with blame and accusations.

Chakra gratefully offers each of us an opportunity to break through this seemingly eternal misunderstanding and take responsibility for the healing that we, as individuals, must undergo to end our racial disunity.

Chakra's assessment of our human condition is brilliant, compelling, and utterly fascinating.  I would suggest you listen with an open heart and allow yourself to feel his gentle offering of Love, hope, and the possibility for our lives today and for the future of the human race.
