The Four Elements
Hello, how are you?
Let’s travel a little and try to abstract a little knowledge based on the four elements of nature and their analogies. The human being is made up of four basic elements and these elements are part of his evolution. For those who believe, it is part of the evolution of their current incarnation.
But how so?
We are complex beings, beings that act by emotion, by reason, by instinct, which we often find no justification for the actions performed. We are beings that mix between reason and emotion, that decisions are not easy to measure, always with an emotional charge and rational attempts to justify them.
Now imagine that all of this is present in you. That to connect with something else you need balance. This quaternary formation present in many initiatic knowledge, in astrological knowledge, in knowledge of the yogis, in knowledge about the tarot, in shamanic knowledge, in knowledge of wizards and witches, in so many others, aims to understand their characteristics and seek manipulation of your strengths. However, the main aim is the individual search for a balance.
Make sure that the four elements in your body are in harmony, thus directing a search for evolution, or even inner peace, changing the state of your spirit (this can be considered with the fifth (5th) element).
Understanding the four elements can be considered an initial process for understanding how the forces of nature act on the human being, how the more subtle forces act on the human being, how the human acts in nature and as a person who wants to do magic (either in practice or even being a magic as an internal process of change) must begin. These elements are present in all our knowledge.
Before talking about the presence in our body we can verify that they are present around us.
Present in astrology with its four types of signs: Fire (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius), Earth (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn), Air (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) and Water (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces). Present as elemental forces: Fire (Salamanders), Earth (Gnomes), Air (Silphos or fairies) and Water (Undines).
Present as Tatwas (element or aspect of reality by Indian schools): Tejas (fire), Prithivi (land), Vaiú (air) and Apas (waters).
Among other knowledge that serve as a source of power or even analogies. As for example in the chakras, the first four being an analogy with the elements, the basic chakra being the earth element, the splenic chakra the water element, the umbilical chakra the fire element and the heart chakra the air element.
Finally reaching the human being.A being that has four elements in its constitution. Since the element of Fire can be considered as our motivating force, our intuition; the Earth element being our physical body; the element Air being our thoughts, our intellectuality and the element Water our emotions, our feelings.
Thus bringing the formation of personality in four hierarchies (Indian knowledge), which are:
- Agnisvata Hierarchy (Fire): Modified by the will, it brings strength, vitality and energy;
- Hierarchy Jiva (Earth): Inclined the most practical questions, the action;
- Assura hierarchy (Ar): Intellectual part, linked to intelligence, the mind;
- Barishad Hierarchy (Water): Linked to feelings, of a receptive nature.
With that, we can see that the four elements and the analogies that derive from them bring a lot of knowledge to an internal as well as an external process. Mastering your archetypes has many benefits for your training and evolution in any area of your life.
