That's an interesting idea, though I'm not sure how you'd "pair off" the sins with the chakras. Pride, lust, and gluttony seem straightforward, but envy, anger, covetousness, and sloth? Perhaps a bit of a stretch.

The problem with trying to characterize God is that God is, by definition, beyond characterization. God is "the all". There is nothing that God is not and nothing that can exist apart from God. So immediately we find ourselves in a "hall of mirrors" dealing with infinite recursions when we try to describe the divine. CWG observes that the terms "God", "Love", "Life", and "Freedom" are interchangeable and that God may perhaps be better appreciated as a process than an entity.
