antí sthénos > Antisthénēs
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Antisthénēs (Ᾰ̓ντῐσθένης),” composed of two elements: “antí ‎(ἀντί)” (against, hostile to, opposition, prevention) plus “sthénos (σθένος)” (strength, might, power). In turn, the name means “restless force, the one who is opposed to the use of force.” Antisthenes was a Greek philosopher and a pupil of Socrates. Antisthenes first learned rhetoric under Gorgias before becoming an ardent disciple of Socrates. He adopted and developed the ethical side of Socrates’ teachings, advocating an ascetic life lived by virtue. Later writers regarded him as the founder of Cynic philosophy.

It is located directly behind the eyes, attached to the third ventricle. This chakra is also known as the upper dan tien. The ninth chakra is an interesting chakra in that it is in this chakra that all the Christ abilities lie dormant, waiting to be released and used in the outer and inner worlds. The shift in focus at this time is toward that Christ energy and the accompanying abilities that go along with it. Hence, a great deal of work and energy is now being sent into physical reality to help the individual open up and expand this energy center.
