Elemental Teachings 2

Water was the first element upon this planet- this at least according to what is written in your Holy book the Bible. It is the balancing element, always has been and always will be. (Just think of the water scales which you are using to test whether an object is hanging/standing evenly.) Water was at the beginning of your evolution and will be at the end, since according to the Divine law, the beginning is at the same as the end, too. All life coming from the same source and returning back to into it. This being the case the state of the Water inEarth and your world is showing the imbalance best, or rather most explicitly. Even though to most of you this may not be obviuos because you are still viewing life as if it were a book compromised of zillions of  different pages in which each one has nothing at all to do with any of the others. Water is the major sustainer of your physical life and simultaneaously the distroyer. That is in a mainly Ego-driven world, the Mind being a manifestation of Fire and Water possesing the power to extinguish it. In the balancing up of the elements, if there is too much fire, or if it gets out of hand, Water must be applied- regardless of possible human comforts.
Our universe, and in this particular instance Mother Earth, is like a game of call and answer on every level. Thus the natural elemental forces are only reflecting the human state of Mind. An authority which has of old been too power-seeking because it is its nature. However, nowadays with the scientific technologies available the Mind of some has become a lethal weapon not just for the indivdual it belongs to, or an entire army or continent but for the planet as a whole!

Today is the last culmination of energy before the cycle upon Earth goes into its annual decline. Another period of budding, flowering and fruition is about to reach its end. Afterwards, the time will come for you to withdraw into your-self in order to look at your harvest and to take stock of what has been achieved and what you have learned. Before deciding upon and preparing the right seeds and to plant them in preparation for the next period of growth. Roughly said, the year can be devided into two halfs. One of out-ward learning(active) and the other of inward studying(passive).

Beloved friends, fellow children of Mother Gaia
We have been hearing the question often asked, why is it now, that we are coming to the fore and more and more people are becoming aware of us. Well, we have always been here, long before you have but in earlier times it has not been necessary for the human population to personify us, because they have still been living in touch with the natural intelligence of Nature and this is what we are, really, the intelligence of the Nature. Also, to say that we have only in recent times become popular is not strictly true, because Shakespeare knew and wrote about us and there are age-old feary-tales and sagas about us. But it is a new developmnet that we are becoming more and more acknowledged by you as entities which are as real as your-self are and not just objects of superstition and fantasies of mad people like we used to be in the past. In order to believe in us you have had to give us set forms, because this is they way your mind works. We do not mind this, although in truth we are actually formless from a material view-point, percievable as energies and Light only by your higher senses. On the contrary, the forms you have given us render us happy,  because we can see you being enchanted by them. For you, looking at images and figurines of faeries and dwarfs and the like, have the effect to endow your everyday life with a magic touch and this is fabulous. They actually teach you to see the magical side of life and by so doing you are finding lightness and joy. However, there is a disadvantage to your imagery, too, because we see many of you desperately wishing to see us, but not being able to because they are trying to see us physically, shaped like the images their mind knows about. The way to come into touch with us and to perceive us is to make your mind free from all that is known and imagined. (And we are using the verb "to perceive" here with deliberation, because you might not necessarily see us, but most probably rather sense us, especially in the beginning. ) By just observing your-self and the reactions of your body to the atmosphere surrounding it, you will, by regular and devoted practise, learn to sense us. Because we are to be found everywhere where there is Nature, being Her invisible parts it cannot be otherwise.

If you feel weak, if you feel restless, unstettled or uncertain, hold on to a piece of stone, or sit/stand still upon a rock. (For some even just looking at stone or seeing it before their mind's eye might do.) Immerse your-self in it with your mind and senses. You will gain from this encounter stability, strength, certainty, patience and trust in life. Since human-kind has inhabited this planet, stones and rocks have always been there, too. And they will always be there for at least as long as you. They are the most reliable and concrete representatives of the Element Earth and have always been there for you as protectors and friends. They have helped you along your evolutionary path from being weapons and tools and providing dwelling, later houses up to this present day and age, where they are serving you also as decoration material, jewellery and talismans. Remember their importance to you and learn to use them once more for your own good.

In Nature upon Earth you know four different seasons and twelve months inside each solar year. Currently you are experiencing a shifting of the seasons from their ususal position to a new one, an up-set of the old more or less predictable pattern into a new unpredicatble one. You are putting it down to the phenomena of global warming. This is only half the truth or rather the reason apparent to you on the surface. But the root lies hidden somewhere else. The way we see it, the drastic change is due to your society in which the natural rythm of day and night, summer and winter, time of fruition and decay, young and old age etc. have been disregarded and highly disturbed. To give you a few examples: You stay up during the night more and more going after day-time activities like shopping, working, eating etc. You travel to places where it is Summer to you while where your roots are there is winter and vice versa. Or you build places where you can experience so called "nature" in an eternal state of one season only. This also being the case with the cultivation of fruits of the soil and the plants. You cannot accept that there is a period necessary in between the fertile ones for the earth to degenerate and rest in order to maintain the natural balance. Aging people are superficially boosting them-selves up to live the lives of young ones and the young ones are being forced to behave like grown-ups. In short, your modern society completely lives out of the natural rythm of life in all respects. And still you expect the planet you live in and the Nature around you to remain exactly the same as it has "always" been? You want the elements to behave in a balanced fashion and demand harmonious yearly rythms in Nature? There cannot be. It is an impossibility because all Life is ONE. Every part of it is connected to everything else. This applies not only to you human-beings amongst your own kind. Hence, you are co-creating the world you live in by your own existance - this compromises your thoughts, actions, words etc. And since you are Mother Earth's inhabitants of the highest intelligence, endowed with a creative imagination and a feeling heart, naturally you are the ones bearing the greatest influence upon her - and with it the greatest responsibiblity, too! Even though many of you have not realized this as yet.
Another reason for the shift in seasons as you know them, is that all Life is subject to the eternal law of change, - the smallest part of it, as well as the biggest. Since evolution in Earth is at present experiencing a general acceleration the changes are becoming more apparent to you in so far as that they happen much faster than they did only cenuries ago. All change is natural and inevitable. What is unnatural and the cause for great worries and fear among you and sorrow for us, is that there is an imbalance which creates unnecessary destruction upon the surface of the Earth and wreaking disastrous chaos in her natural rythms. Generally the situation getting out of hand to either you or us.
Therefore we are entreating you to wake up to the Truth, Light and Love behind and within all Life- your-selves included! Once you have done so universally- there is no way you will be able to continue the road you are on further and further away from Mother Nature- but turn back and integrate the good things you have acquired into the re-union with Her.

Many of you suffer from headaches. You have probably noticed that they mostly occur when the weather conditions are extreme or just about to change drastically. Your headaches might be influenced by other factors, too, but even so, they are usually worst, when the elements outside are especially strong- high winds, hot still air or excessive dampness or aridity. At any rate, in particular two elements, mostly air and water, or air and fire, are the factors causing the temporary weather extremes. Have you ever wondered why they might be affecting your health? We see it in the way that in those moments the elements are calling you to pay attention to them and to Nature around you. For in those moments they are easier for you to perceive and approach than usually because they are raw and open. They are reminding you to get back in touch with Mother Nature and the current of life force flowing trough you - instead of loosing your-self in your illusionary worlds of thoughts, preconceptions, - all of them purely focussed on and around your material existance and devoid of any real life. But usually you do not heed their calling and turn the opposite way, taking fast-relief pills that kill of your sensitivity or shutting your-selves inside even more by closing windows, shutters and in extreme heat even turning on the air-conditioning.
We see it that in those moments you should venture forth out-side in order to move with the wind, dance with the rain or feel the still air by standing still and firm upon the naked earth and feeling the hightened energy moving beneath and around you. If thisshould prove impossible due to having to remain at your work-place- at least opening windows, looking out-side and breathing the air consciously, feeling its invigorating effect upon your body and mind. And who can say, maybe your headaches will disappear or you might even forget all about them.

There is a right time for everything. The more you become attuned to the natural rythm of life the more you will come into the power of action supported by the Elemental Forces. This is something you cannot touch and know with your minds but only understand with you intuition. But since you still generally function and act guided by your minds, intellect and thinking, it is usually easiest for you to approach something new with via that authority. Once your minds are satisfied, believing to be in charge of a situation, it is much easier for your intuition to come in. Therefore we will start with an example comprehendable to the intellect.
Let us look at your seven days weeks. The names of the respective days give you some clue as to their meaning, the energy they contain- although not in all of your languages their roots are equally easy to derive.
Monday (lundi in French) is the day of the Moon. The Moon is a subtle influence, can be equalled with you intuition and feelings, ruled by the Element of Water. Because you may feel rather more sensitive than on other days, this is a day for quiet introspection and calm past-times. The ideal day also to learn to listen more to the voice of your heart, the intuition.
Tuesday, mardi in French, is the day of Mars. This on the other hand, is a day suited for out-going action, meeting responsibilities bravely and tackling to-do lists. Energy runs high and if you are in harmony within your-self and your life, much can be achieved on such a day- but on the other hand, if in disharmony the opposite applies.
Wednesday, mercredi in French, is the day of Mercury. You will find that on those days you often have many things to get done, many change of places, travelling to and fro. Also new people might appear in your life, be it by meeting personally, phone calls or e-mails.
Thursday, jeudi in French, the day of Jupiter. This day stands under a positive influence, a benevolent star, making it ideal for new ventures, going out or just simply working at home- suited for anything, really.
Friday, the day of Venus, vendredi in French, stands for beauty, art, Nature, Love. Therefore whatever they mean to you is suited for that day of the week.
Saturday, the day of Saturn. Although this day of the week is generally keep free from work, being part of the week-end, actually it is a very good day for diligent and productive working and business meetings- given that one is in a state of reasonable inner harmony.
Sunday, being the day of the Sun, make sit the ideal day for restorative past-times that feed the soul. So very much a day to be spent in a warm familiar/family atmosphere, but anything that makes you feel happy and contented with your-self is suited to that day.
We have now given you a general out-line, the original meaning and some associations to each day of your week. By reading up on some background literature on the planetary beings involved and by being observant of your-self each day of the week, you will find out a lot more about them, which in turn will enable you to design your weekly schedules much more efficiently. Respecting the days inherent energy is going to render your every-day life more harmonious. Of course, this system is a lot more complex and by looking at the day of the week only is a simplification because there is the monthly rythm of the moon plus the yearly gradiant of the sun to be taken into the account, too, plus your own horoskope... But to start with observing the week-days in relation to the respective phase of the moon as well as your-self is quite enough. Buying an accurate moon calendar might also help you to sensitise your-self further to the natural tides of cosmic life energy. But as a rule: never just believe what someone else has written or said- even if it comes from a well-studied person- because every single one of you is different- make it a rule to always counter-check with your own observance, experiences and awareness. You never know- maybe the author or the printing-press has made a mistake?
