An excessively selfish mentality, characterised by preoccupation with grinding one's own axe, deceit and frauds, is nourished when one's consciousness predominantly resides in the lower centres of the body.
When consciousness habitually descends to the lower parts, it encourages in the individual a spirit of self-aggrandizement, hatred, etc. Such a person is never truly grateful, he would never acknowledge a kindness shown to him. hen consciousness resides in the higher centres, in the upper parts of the body, it serves to refine and sublimate instincts and passions!!!
