Elements (four)

Steeped in the quintessence of the divine

June 25th 2022
Life, what is life? What tells us that creatures are alive? The fact that they are able to interact with the world around them from which they draw the elements essential for their survival. Usually they do so unconsciously – very few people go out in the sun or breathe, eat and drink in full awareness of what light, warmth, air and food give them. But this is precisely the consciousness that disciples must acquire. For thousands of years, the greatest masters of humanity have taught us that the spirit of God permeates the whole universe, and that through the matter that surrounds us we can make contact with this spirit. Human beings have no idea what they miss by failing to understand that the elements around them – earth, water, air and fire – are filled with the quintessence of the divinity, and that by means of meditation, respiration and conscious nutrition they can capture this quintessence which will vivify all the cells of their body. In this way, not only will their physical health improve, but their rejuvenated, purified, illuminated cells will no longer tie them down to the lower, opaque levels of matter; rather, they will become good servants and support them in their work of inner creation.
