Elements – The Work of the Kabbalist
Posted on Feb 03 2005 under Diary of the ONE | Tags: body, elements, kabbalist, levels, psyche, spirit, work
The first step is to know the body, which is the malkhutian vehicle for psyche & spirit.
The body contains four basic levels…
1st & densest is that of solids (Earth) including any structure that supported, carried or operated according to the mechanical laws, the skeleton, certain organs and muscle’s. Sense the weight and material composition of the body, how it hangs on the carefully designed structure of bones which are held in position by connecting tissue, the balance and counter balance of the muscles. Observe how the body moves with great subtlety and precision through every movement in a flow of positions that are held in momentary equilibrium.
2nd that of fluids (Water) which encompasses blood, sweat, urine and anything that flow through the organism. The fluid saturated tissue and organs are perceived as they hold and guide the slowly percolating fluids from their intake at the mouth to their exit in excretion and sweat.
3rd in the gases present (Air) in the blood, organs and lungs and cavities of the body, seen through controlled breathing and observing the reaction of the body as various qualities are absorbed and penetrate the tissue. The atmospheric balance in and out the body is crucial to its well being.
4th that of (Fire) the heat and light of the body, which is generated by the body and radiated out from within, as emitted by the body. By diligent practice one can glimpse or see the field of light that hovers just above the skins or perceive the various lines of the aura as they shimmer around a person.
The purpose of this awareness is to acquaint the person with the manifestation of the four worlds in their most physical form.
FIRE – Representing CONSCIOUSNESS
EARTH – (Solidity) Representing PRACTICALITY
WATER – (Fluidity) Representing MOODS
AIR – (Gaseousness) INTELECT
