ELEMENTAL PHILOSOPHY..

  Here below are philosophy and meditations based on the 'nature' of the four Basic Elements.

  Here you will find four profound philosophies, each of which gives you a deep insight, a cosmic viewpoint, and a way to deal with the difficult situations one may encounter in life...

The First Teaching: The lessons we learn from the Air..

The Air teaches us the conquest of hatred and anger - it teaches us love, acceptance and understanding.

Here is an ageless truth:

The enemy of yesterday will be the friend of tomorrow. For the rule of the world is change - thus, there is NO enemy.

Now feel your soul gather deep within you, and be like the air.. that blows over rich and poor, over the grass and the great tree alike.

Accept all - love all. Your enemy is an illusion, and will vanish with time. There IS no enemy.

"When hatred and anger fill your heart, hear the wisdom in the song of the wind, and desist."

"For you cannot hate - if you are one with the Air."

The Second Teaching: The lessons we learn from the Fire..

The Fire teaches us Purity and the way to Freedom...

When you feel chained by society, by narrow-mindedness, by the opinions of others, by the petty struggles of daily life - when the heavy chains of all these drag you down..

  ..Do not turn away into gloom.

No - be like the Fire! Concentrate, and let the energy shine forth from beneath your ribs.. and become a bright flame that provides heat and light to ALL.

"Like the fire, provide warmth, and light and confidence and comfort to all those around you..   ..and you will find that your own chains will disappear, will melt away - burnt away in the warmth of your personality."

"For you cannot be chained - if you are one with the Fire!!"

The Third Teaching: The lessons we learn from the Water

The Water tells us of the Strength that lies in Flexibility.

When all the world seems against you, when you are faced with overwhelming odds, when you face certain defeat..

  ..concentrate your spirit in the pit of your stomach, and be flexible, like the water.

  Watch how the mighty river seems to bend before the great rocks on it's banks - yet it is those same rocks that the river, with patience, with time, wears away and destroys.

"When faced with terrifying odds, or persistent and overwhelming attacks - remember the water and be flexible, be patient - evade calmly, until the energies of your attacker are spent."

"This is the lesson of the Water."

The Fourth Teaching: The lessons we learn from the Earth

The Earth, with it's deep-rooted mountains, teaches us Stability.

When your thoughts are disturbed, when you cannot find peace - in your mind, in your thoughts, in your heart and soul..

..lower your hips, become one with the unshakeable Earth.

Imagine that your roots go deep like those of the very mountains, and that you are as unshakeable as a mountain - a mountain that is not affected, not moved by minor happenings.

"Imagine that you ARE a mountain - calm, utterly calm, rooted to the very earth, unshakeable, stable - so stable."

"When your own mind, your own thoughts.. would overwhelm you, when you feel shaken, ANCHOR yourself to your UNSHAKEABLE world, and remember - you are ONE with the very EARTH!!"
