Meditation On Fire
Fire doesn't look like an element at all. It's somewhat different. More like an activity or emanation. Remember what Ra said about Love? "This then may be seen to be an object rather than an activity by some of your peoples, and the principle of this extremely strong energy focus being worshiped as the Creator instead of unity or oneness from which all Loves emanate."
Light and warmth. Fire warms, glows, kindles. We are most aware of this in the winter when it's cold and dark. When we move beyond physical this light and warmth is understanding and love. The light of fire illuminates the darkness of ignorance. For humans vision is the dominant sense - we recieve 90% information about the world around us through eyes. Fire also warms the heart and kindles the flame of love. True love is spiritual - fueled with spirit (air) - it's free - a decision of will, more than just a momentary feeling or drive, more than a calculation ...
Burning also reminds me of something intense, strong, energetic, dynamic. Like passion, desire and anger or a fiery and decisive personality ...
Offering/sacrifice is also connected with fire. People used to burn animal sacrifices to gods. A candle burns itself to give light. For fire (love) something (of earth) needs to burn. Something needs to be sacrified/offered.
A spark (also fire) burns a fire. Besides air and something offered we need a spark or another fire to ignite a fire. One saint said: "If you want to fire up others you yourself have to be on fire."
Change and test. Fire affects the very chemical structure of the burning material. Iron is forged in fire. A test with flame was used to indentify metals.
Danger and protection. Fire was respected from the olden days. It's dangerous and it can protect against wild animals. You can burn yourself. It requires carefulness. "Don't play with fire." This reminds me also of the kundalini that I experienced as an inner fire.
