The Fiery, Etheric World is a process of creating something, and the natural phenomenon that arises from such an elemental combination also speaks of processes, but says nothing about the results—they can vary greatly and be perceived in many different ways.
There is plenty of Fire, little Water. There is so much Fire that Water changes its state and turns into steam. Fire does not derive nourishment from Water; on the contrary, Water somewhat restrains Fire but pays for it with its nature, its natural existence.
There’s plenty of Fire, less Earth, significantly less. For Fire, Earth acts as food, support, and assistance in manifesting its properties uniquely and without losses. To see such a reflection in the human world, let’s try to find analogs in the natural world.
The physical plane is formed by an elemental combination where the primary element is Earth, and the elements of Fire, Water, and Air complement it. This complementation allows only certain properties of the Earth element to be highlighted, restricting specific functions within the designated space.
The etheric plane is formed when there is a strong dominance of Fire over another element. The main properties of Fire are expansion, mobility, and absorption. These features are also present in the subspaces of the Fire element, but each accompanying element allows Fire to manifest in a unique quality in each individual subspace.
When the Elemental Cross forms in consciousness and the process of mutual elemental pursuit is initiated as the eternal engine of the first kind, it instantaneously brings all elemental indicators into a state of natural equilibrium with each other. Such a state in magical practices is referred to as “nullification through the elements.”
Elemental combination of the FIRE—EARTH vertical axis predetermines the structure of the Buddhic body in order to control one’s will, regulate the flow of time.
n the cross, it forms horizontal movement, where Air gives motion to Water. Air is independent and infinitely mobile. Water, on the other hand, tends towards stability and exhibits properties of inertia. The conflict generated by the interaction of these two elements is a conflict of a forced directional movement.
The Air Element is represented in the human understanding of qualities as a masculine quality. Like Fire, the Air element is incapable of permanence; Air directs, infiltrates and penetrates, giving form to matter. Air responds to pressure and is capable of compressing several times over, acquiring new properties.
The element of Fire corresponds to the etheric plane. The vibrations of Fire are rapid, ever-changing, absorbing all organic matter into itself that Fire can penetrate. Fire is the necessity of penetration both in depth and breadth. If Earth is the force of tranquility and stability, then Fire, its opposite, is the force of movement and development.
