Page 9 - The Separation and Reunification of The Elements
P. 9

American talks of the emergence, but also look to the stars.
               The  Native  Indian  recognises  it's  Sacred  Rivers,  and  the
               Native  Australian,  who  refer  to  their  country  as  The  Land,
               believe  that  they  were  dreamed  into  existence,  and  are  the
               masters of fire.

               It is my opinion that all elements are unique and equal and
               interdependent on each other. However, only the element of
               AIR is beneficial to the three other elements. Any of the other
               elements  can  destroy  the  others,  including  AIR.  On  the
               negative  side,  water  quenches  the  fire,  turns  the  earth  into
               mud,  and  soaks  the  air.  On  the  positive  side,  water  can  be
               used to dampen down the fire that has gone out of control,
               nurture  through  the  earth  and  freshen  the  air.  If  one  is  to
               think  that  all  these  features  are  within  the  ranges  of  our
               senses  to  experience  and  are  but  an  example  if  the  Divine
               nature of everything, yet we give them very little thought, we
               fail  to  recognise  the  eternal  presence  of  God,  we  fail  to
               recognise  the  Spiritual  significance  of  all  life  and  its
               interdependence.  The  element  of  Air  was  the  first  to  be
               defiled. In our Ancient history, this country  was invaded by
               external  forces,  our  people  subjugated,  our  customs  altered
               and abused. Later history shows how our sacred, indigenous
               ways were destroyed and replaced, first by the Celts and then
               by  the  Christians.  The  spiritual  element  of  AIR  became
               polluted. A similar fate befell the spiritual element of WATER,
               India  with  the  invaders  entering  the  Indus  valley,  again
               imposing  their  ways  rather  than  adopting  the  indigenous
               ways.  more  recently  the  spiritual  element  of  EARTH  was
               occupied by European people and the representatives of the
               element  EARTH  were  overthrown,  and  this  is  still  ongoing.
