God and His Four Elements |
God; being the source of All is the "All in All" and also the Fifth Element; the Akasha - the Quintessence.
One of the names of
God, the one that is often used is Jehovah. Written in the ancient Hebrew it
is spelled. IHVH. This is the original four letter word - the
"Tetragrammaton." It literally stands for Fire, Air, Water, Earth - in that
order. In the Bible believe it or not!!
Each Element has a positive and negative polarity. Not to be confused with
good and evil - these, again, being purely religious concepts because, if
God is truly the All in All, therefore all possible possibilities must exist
within God - well, put it together. Each element is an actual workable
substance born out of the original "God substance" - the Akasha out of which
all things were created. (It took me 20 years to understand this concept. (I
must be dumb. It is all around us and staring us in the face all that time!)
The words may change from culture to culture or system to system of belief
but, the principles always stay the same otherwise God is not Eternal.
Within each Element there are entities that serve the purpose of the Element
which you are probably familiar with by name. I wouldn't fool with them
though.
The Elements exist on all levels, spiritual, astral and physical. In each
level the principle stays the same but, the effect is different only in so
far as the limitations of the substance they are sustaining and working
with. Most people struggle with the Elements as they are working in their
astral body ie the soul. The soul is the turf of our emotions and virtues -
where the battle takes place and where you win your freedom or bondage and
where you become a "Child of God." This is called in Christian terms -
Salvation. Here the concept of God's Grace apply and where we exercise our
greatest love and surrender it to God, our fellow man and ourselves - in
that order - and are thereby perfected. This, in a nutshell, is the goal of
Christianity although you would never believe it to see it in action. Yet,
everything you see in a Catholic Church is based on the Elements but, the
priest is almost certainly completely unaware of it. The cross (love, in
place of the sword), the staff, the chalice, the money, the sensor, the
incense, the priest garb (Old Testament) etc. There is a very good reason
why it has survived for so long, unchanged.
The beauty of the Elements is that, whereas when people are trying to
philosophically solve a puzzle their sophistry tries to use hundreds or even
thousands of ingredients to solve it, the Elements offer only 4 plus the
fifth - the Quintessence. The fewer the variables the easier the problem is
to solve whether it has to do with the created physical world or the
workings of your soul, or spirit.
This is the foundation of the Truth of things no matter what system of
belief one chooses. Here there is also no possibility for argument.
