The Nature of things : Part 3

WATER ELEMENT

The water element is the next element in the series. Representing the feminine component of the universe it is  the complete opposite of the fire element.
See the tides, see the rains and see the waves....you will know that water can be as much gentle as it can be ferocious...yet it has something of a rhythm...a continuous up and down movement..a continuous vibration...just like the human emotions..

And that is what the water element in human body is..the human emotions, the intution....the imagination.

Water element used to be a very important element alongwith the fire element in the ancient cultures. Whil;e there were fire temples in Japan and Persia....there were huge water baths in the cities of Indus valley civilization used for purification rituals.

Purification, of body and mind - can only be achieved by the water element.

Now the reason why ancients considered the water element to be a feminine element and why it is said to be ruled by moon...

After how many days  the next full moon day comes after a full moon day

28 days..

and for how many days does a female ovulation cycle is...

28 days...

Now you know how the water element, the feminine element and the  moon are connected to each other...see the dots connecting...

one alchemical element, other a "psychological state" (as I had said earlier gender has nothing to do with masculanity or femininity...they are more a state of mind), and a heavenly body...

And this is not faff...see ...the life originated in the sea itself..so life forms need to be aware of the lunar cycles in order to survive, otherwise they would have been thrown into the shore, where they would not have survived.

Over the years , this lunar cycles embedded into the surviving life forms...becoming an important part of the biological rhythm of animals.

Now another angle...what is the surface area the water bodies occupies on earth...roughly 72%

about how much water is contained in human body...around 70%

So when there is maximum disturbance in the water bodies(i.e. in sea) there is also maximum disturbance going in the "human mind". This disturbance is maximum during the full moon days and the new moon days.

No wonder most of the mental patients, go berserk in full or new moon days and for that reason only the mentally unstable people are called as"moonstruck" or the "lunatics" (lunar is"moon").

Now there are zodiacs also which represent this element in the sky too.People born under the zodiacs of cancer, scorpio and pisces are thought to have dominant water personalities. Water personalities tend to be emotional, deep, nurturing, sympathetic, empathetic, imaginative and intuitive, however, they can also be sentimental, sensitive, escapistic and irrational.
Water Elemental Charecters are commonly described as kind, timid, shy, and commonly weaker.

Water element however  the mind..and for transformation, this purification is  very important

The Nature of things-Part 2

THE FIRE ELEMENT

Whole world is made up of the combination of male and female components. The element which represents the masculine part of the universe is FIRE. the most active, lightest and movable of all the elements. It represents vitality, passion, power, ascendence and the most important thing which is

...........FINAL TRANSFORMATION!!!!!

Though all the elements prepare the body and mind for transformation through cleanesing them, the final transformation does not happen without the fire element.

It is the element of transformation.

No doubt therefore that in oldest traditions and religions on earth, the fire is worshipped in various forms. From the havans of India to fire temples in shinto religion, to the candles lit in a church....

the presence of god is exemplified by the presence of the fire.

This fire element is not only the physical form only, but is also present in the covalent bonds of the atoms of organic molecules in your food.

Fire is all around us in either all visible or invisible forms...
But fire need to be controlled....if it is too much it will burn you, if it is too low it will be useless...

Therefore ancients worshipped its controlled form. This fire element is represented in the sky by the aries, leo and saggitarius constellations. Therefore the people born under these constellations are truely

.....Masculine...

they are leaders, brave, truthful, active and aggressive....irrespective of the fact that they are man or woman(masculanity or for that matter feminity has nothing to do with gender, it is more of a state of mind).

People born under these fire signs are generally have warmer bodies than others and are quick to get angry. But fire element is not determined by stars only, it can be augmented by the states of mind also, like circumstances in flight and fight situations

There have been instances when people have lifted cars in order to save their children. Here you see that transformation...the transformation to the superhuman ability...the  presence of extreme fire element in a fight situation...( see how your body warm up in anger...it is sign of fire elemnt building on you)

Thus I equate the fire element in the body to the adrenaline hormone. If adrenaline is pushed down through the body, both mind as well as the body can go "superhuman" if only for few minutes. That's the power of fire elements.

The people born under fire signs have genrally more fire element than others, so they are quick to undergo flight and fight response... thus relating to their low tolerance threshold...or high passion for things which is again influenced by the fire element.

By altering the quantity of fire element one can undergo the transformation in order to become-"SUPERHUMAN"

I will give you more details on how to make this transformation happen.....but first I want to go the "antagonistic" element of fire i.e. water element

The Nature of things-Part 1

Everything living in this world is made up of combination of four elements i.e. Fire, water air and earth.

 In the absence of any of these elements life ceases to exist. Moreover, the true nature of the living entity can also be explained by the presence of these elements.

Though in Hindu alchemy, a fifth element called as Akash or ether is also included, but I could not find enough evidence on its infuence on things. Probably they must have been talking about the soul when taking about the fifth principle. I will therefore restrict my study to the four elements only.

Each of these elements have unique properties. Combination of the four elements in different proportions can explain the nature of things.
Transformation: in both the materials and the living things can be attributed to the changed proportion of the elements.

So alchemy is this transformation of materials by changing their central componenet i.e. the proportion of the various elements in the materials.

Now connecting the dots: does this elements are on earth only?

NO!!!!!!

These elements are very much part of the sky too...

There are 12 zodiac signs in the sky. A combination of 3 zodiac signs represent one element in the sky..

So Aries, Leo and Saggitarius: Fire element
Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces:Water element
Gemini, Libra and Aquarius: Air element
Tauras, Virgo and Capricorn: Earth element

The similar elements are therefore ruled from the sky. So thus these element are only represented in the the tangibles only or they are part of intangible things such as emotions too????

The elements are represented in the states of the mind too. Have you ever felt the rage and suddenly you were feeling heated-up body, or in love -and blushing or feeling butterflies in your stomach..

It is simply the movement of fire element in your body.

Or when you felt really  cheerful , you were jumping in the air---it's movement of air element.

Or when you are logical--movement of water element

Similarly when you feld depresseed or extereme fear, you must have felt that your body has been cooled down. This is the movement of the earth element.

 Thus elements are not only in things but are movable and can be infuenced by the states of mind.

The ultimate aim of alchemy is not only to achieve transformation of the things, but also to achieve real alchemy i.e mastering transformation of mental states in the mind of the alchemist.

So as you can see that elements are not only in the stars, but also in the human mind. The more we will be able to understand the nature of elements(through movement of stars), the better we will understand the nature of human mind and how to make it undergo transformation.

 In next post I will tell you more about the properties of the individual element.

So as you can see the elments are represented in sky as in human mind: They are as much part of the sky as they are of human mind

AS ABOVE, SO BELOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The three pillars of human transformation

Melancholia-the word is Melancholia, which explains the latent desire of human species.
The desire to transcend what is limited,
to transcend the vagaries of nature,
to transend the boundations in order to become what is the true destiny of man--the true nature of man--the ultimate transformation of man to

GOD!!!!

Yes, it is true desire of humans, to transcend its animal nature in order to become something bigger than himself.

But first of all let's see the reason why nature created humans in first place..Every other animal is just an animal. It survives just for the sake of it, and that is to survive only. But nature created human in altogether a new sense. It is to form a species which can truely marvel at the beauty of nature. No other animal can understand the beauty of nature, its laws, its working so well. Why so?????

Because  nature wanted to create the mirror image of its powers...That is why it is said that God created man in his image.....now you know why?
The real god is nature itself...tell me any power that can counter its effects. It has developed our species in order to make a new set of masters .

Only apes suvived in order to transform in humans, no species in the sea or the sky transformed to our levels.

If that is the truth and that is the true destiny of man , why we never realized it?

 It is not that we never realized the true transformation to God. Read Bible, read Vedas, read Koran and you will find the stories of supernatural powers?

so is it a figment of human imagination?? NO

we indeed had those tools for that transformation. The science of that transformation can be divided into alchemy, astrology and psychology. Each one when connected to each other properly possess the key to transform of man to God. These are the three pillars of human transformation. These three pillars are celebrated in the engravings of Pyramids, the temples of orient, the cities of Indus valley, the fire temples of Persia,

And it is celebrated every day...in the sky , in the dance of stars, in your prayers which you address to yourself...in your rage, in your modesty, in your mood swings...the key is the true source of your power...of your true happiness. Unless and until humanity knows how to transcend its limits, it will keep injuring itself like a ferocious tiger in a cage...now it is time to break that cage


Well enough of sulking...enough...

we will have to start with whatever we have...whatever little knowledge we have...I am on that path and my dear readers I would like to see your inputs. It is not a just another pouring of views.

I want your support. I want sharing of ideas. We together can learn much from each other- (believe me ou know much more than  you think)

let's walk together towards a great future for humanity........
