FIRE + EARTH
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 phenomenon of Fire+Earth in the natural world:
Unrestrained Fire. Volcanic eruption. Wildfire. Lightning striking the ground. The place where such events occur can never remain the same. Everything living there either dies or is forced to change its life — style, appearance, form. The Earth is deformed under the influence of excessive Fire — this is the main property of the Fire-Earth realm.
Fire has found its food and consumed it. Consumed, meaning it changed, transformed, reprocessed. It transformed abruptly, breaking the Earth’s static nature in an instant. The process is irreversible, and as a result, a new matter emerges — a new form of existence that cannot be reversed.
Are such natural effects lasting? No. Such a phenomenon is always finite in time.
The emergence of Fire-Earth realms in the human world:
The Fire-Earth space is always a catastrophe for the human world, which can be predicted if lucky, but cannot be stopped or prevented.
In the human mind, the state of Fire-Earth does not have a permanent address; it arises spontaneously and inevitably passes. We call such people impulsive precisely because of the property of their elemental parent: Fire also manifests itself in impulses, discreetly. It initiates the process, makes the necessary (or inevitable) changes, which then can exist without such a Fire current, but in a new quality and never as before.
The unrestrained state of a roaring element within the mind corresponds to a revolutionary impulse, an explosion of emotions, but these emotions are not expressed in screams, tears, or words—they manifest in action. Action that cannot be stopped or undone. And if we talk not so much about an individual state of consciousness but about a space, we realize that this state is common for many, like a crowd united in fury, sweeping away everything in its path, unable to stop before anything until the rage subsides on its own. This inevitably happens after some time, but while it rages, the consequences are as inevitable as they are irreversible.
The Fire-Earth realm is a space of violent imposition. Revolution, uprising—these are the strongest effects, but also the most primitive.
As diverse as a revolution can be, so can be the spaces of its manifestation. The Industrial Revolution, the Intellectual Revolution, the Digital Revolution manifest differently, but with the same fundamental effect—destruction of the old foundation, global change of space, a new dimension of the future. Change without an attempt to negotiate; the introduction of changes is total and global, not selective and half-hearted. But just as a fire cannot last forever, as a volcanic eruption cannot endure indefinitely, so too can fury not last forever, even the most global changes are always finite.
People whose consciousnesses shape this elemental realm stay together as long as there is a subject for the application of interests—there is land, food, that which is absorbed by inner rage, that which is destroyed or transformed in essence, not just in form. However, the space quickly disintegrates if the food—the point of implementation, the purpose of destruction—runs out. Such a space is never stable. Where it arises physically, it shows passionarity, but following such manifestations, a scorched earth area emerges, where nothing grows for a long time.
People of the Fire-Earth realm exist to initiate processes. They “awaken” only when Fire reaches its maximum strength and becomes stronger than the natural Earth. While Fire gathers strength, consciousness sleeps in the state of Earth-Fire, which you are already familiar with, adhering to its closed realm. But as soon as the internal Fire is amplified by external one, a metamorphosis and sharp transformation occur in such a person’s consciousness: an unnoticeable inhabitant becomes a leader who infects everyone within reach with his own Fire.
For a forest fire, a single spark is enough, and for a revolution – just one word spoken with the right intonation. For human reality to change beyond recognition, just a spark of Prometheus is enough, one thought, one idea that enters the consciousness of just one person, but captivates him entirely, allowing the chain reaction of an irreversible process to rage as long as there is fuel, as long as there are consciousnesses to change, until the process becomes fully autonomous.
During your research of the FIRE+EARTH elemental realm try to answer the following questions:
- What is possible in this elemental realm, and what is impossible in general?
- What mechanisms do the inhabitants of this elemental realm use to access the resources available to them in this world?
- What are they entitled to, and what are they not?
- What results can you personally achieve in this space if you use the same mechanisms that the “local residents” show you?
- What effects in this elemental realm are inaccessible to you under any circumstances?
- What happens to your mind in this world?
- Is there a high probability of getting stuck there for a long time? What needs to be done to exit this space at any time?
- Is there a high probability that the space will recognize you as a stranger? What needs to be done to prevent this? What needs to be done to stay in this space for as long as necessary for your task?
- What tools does your consciousness need for quick switching between spaces?
