In exploring life as an Earth Citizen – I have taken up a Science of the Spirit which gives me clues & keys to unlock the open secrets of Natura. Putting down roots in the rolling hills of Wisco - the big sky Dairy State of the Heartland recently, I have developed a whole new relationship to the essence of Spirit which animates Nature. The wonder & reverence which I cultivated in my city-life, has deepened into a communion that manifests as a reciprocal co-creation.
And the reality that I am living into more & more is that the Elements of Earth, Water, Air & Fire are inhabited by ‘Elemental Beings’ – knowingly named by occultists & in the classic fairy-tales as: Gnomes, Undines, Sylphs & Salamanders. The very clever Gnomes are in charge of the Earth Element fostering mineralizing forces & root growth in plant-life - for they are bearers of the ideas of the Cosmos inside the earth. The dreamy Water Sprite Undines live & work, swimming & floating, in all the fluid activities - They are the invisible chemists binding & releasing their dreams of the singing stars, which is at the same time their own form in a state of eternal metamorphosis – giving shape to the leaf system in the plant. The Sylphs populate the air element. They inspire the song of the birds with light, with which they vibrate into the air to create the flower. As bearers of cosmic love into the atmosphere, the Sylph embodies the human wish for Love & Light. The Salamander Fire Spirits or Spirits of Warmth channel the candescence of the Sun into the fruiting & ripening, by empowering the flying insects, especially the pollinators, enveloping the bee & butterfly in their effulgent aura, to convey radiant warmth to the reproductive organs of the plant in a sacred marriage that spiritualizes substance – promoting an out-streaming - a cosmic shimmering - that also attracts the human being to descend again into incarnation. So, yes, the Elemental beings are of the essence of the Elements they work thru, a refined gossamer woven from astral & etheric forces - which dwell in space, producing fundamental effects, especially in the plant world, but also in the mineral, animal & human kingdoms - as well as in the astral & etheric realms which we all share, manifest thru the Seasons & thru weather patterns, etc… But they aren’t visible to the untrained human eye since they don’t hold any mineral content of their own.
The super-sensible Etheric or Vital ‘Life’ body which every living thing has, choreographs matter into living form – without it, our physical form would fall into decay & the body die. The more rarefied Elements of the Etheric Realm with its Light Ether (connected to Air/Sylph ) - Tone Ether (connected to Water/Undine) - & Life Ether (connected to Earth/Gnome) – with Warmth Ether as the intermediary bridge between the physical & ethereal elements held up by the Fire Beings (the Salamanders). These higher Supernal expressions arisen in the Ethers of these Elements must be taken into account if we are to get a true understanding of the Elemental Beings. What is becoming crystal clear thru the study we have been striving to make practical with the Zinniker’s, our Biodynamic farmers, is that IF these beings are ignored by humanity – IF we do not cultivate a Spiritual Cognition – IF our understanding stops with the external material aspect - IF we as human beings don’t consciously engage with them - then there is a strong possibility that these Spiritual Beings will be cooped by adversarial powers that seek to inhabit them – to take them over & use them for destructive purposes. Could this be one of the many occult causes behind the violent weather patterns? IF the Earth is to become what it was originally Divinely Destined to Become, Humanity must consciously choose to acknowledge & work with these Spiritual Entities - Ever awakening to the dangers that threaten our evolution IF we let the adversarial powers take possession of these Supra-Natural forces. It is essential that our knowledge reach beyond the physical – so that we can, in good Faith, work with the Formative Forces which shape the form wherein Spirit dwells.
The sooner we realize the significance of Spirit in every thing, the sooner we will be able to understand the world & its happenings – there is nothing more important in our time now, dear Earthlings – for these relationships are the foundation that will allow us to co-create benevolent change. If we do not, then we are like ostriches who bury their heads in the sand when confronted by something they fear - or those who stand by as the bully attacks their neighbor – or those lukewarm muggles who only care about their own comfort…
Elemental Beings are always entering into our souls whether we are conscious of it or not. We are always sending out ‘feelers’ into the sense world, & the Elemental Beings that are enchanted into all the things of the world slip into us. IF we are not working with them redemptively this causes three things: It is the source of fear (& anxiety) -The source of hatred (& distrust, war, racism, bigotry…). The source of doubt (& an inability to distinguish between illusion & reality). Fear & anxiety arise when an unconscious hatred of the Spirit kills something in us, & causes a paralysis of our will. This fear arises in our thinking because the specter of hatred which wishes to stamp out Spirit has become entangled in our feeling life. Hatred arises when doubt of the Spirit pushes down the thinking life – burying the head in the sand - laming our will. When we are in fear, hatred or doubt, our soul forces of thinking, feeling & willing are co-opted - firmly tied to the physical body - this is the consequence of the soul always perceiving the world only with physical organs.
The first step to breaking the cycle of fear, hatred & doubt which work to enslave our soul forces, begins with Faith, which begets Love, & Hope. Thinking, as one of our soul forces, can be transformed into a Spiritual organ, it can free the entire soul from the physical body, because in thought we don’t need to be bound to physical laws. We can use our thinking to create concepts that apply Imaginative Cognition – conceiving something that does not rely on the physical sense world. The moment we do this we are already freeing our souls – We don’t need to be a clairvoyant to understand & apply Spiritual Science. We need only use our thinking in a way that creates inner pictures which free the soul. By freeing our thinking, we can access the Etheric Realm where the Christ imbued formative forces work. The moment we free our thinking, it is objectively outside us - there before our meditative gaze, & in this way we can begin to discern the essence of the Elemental Beings – especially those that have been enchanted inside of us personally.
This brings us the experience of our ‘double’ – where our etheric body is full of Elemental Beings, which we have unconsciously taken in. This allows us to become aware of what has been causing our thinking, feeling & will impulses – the good the bad & the ugly - giving us a glimpse into the karma we carry within us, now made conscious. When we ennoble these Elemental Beings by acknowledging them, sending them blessings, working with them, we release them from their incarceration - although they always remain with us. Thru our Faith, Love & Hope, we become a haven for these Beings - a 1st step in the Redemption of all life on Earth - as we work to Spiritualize matter. See you in the Garden ~hag
