THE FOUR ELEMENTS AND THE “CHRISTED” SELF

By Valarie Anderson

The principle is as the higher substance, personified here as the Son of God- operates on the lower substance, personified here as the Son of man- the degree to which the lower is manifesting the One Substance is transmuted to a higher degree and the lower substance in turn becomes a higher. (Christlike)

The basic elements used by the Mystic are: earth, air, water and fire. In each of the elements the others are also found. (I and my Father are One). For instance, in air there is also moisture, or water, known as humidity. There is also fire in the air because light is present in the air, and the light and fire are one. Earth is to be found in the air as there are tiny electromagnetic particles everywhere in the atmosphere. Water, fire, air, earth, and so on through the elements. These four elements, when combined in an unusual manner, establish the difference between the Son of Man and the Son of God.

Consider it in this fashion: When the earthy seed is implanted in the water, or “the material sea,” then the process of transmutation upon the physical vibratory level begins. The Son of Man, or the physical vehicle is evolved. A physical form is thus created by father and mother.

Upon a higher and spiritual vibratory level, when the fiery spark becomes implanted in the maternal air, then the Divine Flame is the result-another and higher process of transmutation. The physical vehicle is created when the physical seed is implanted in the sea-the Son of Man. The spiritual nature bursts into its Divine Flame (or Philosopher’s Stone) when the inner spark becomes implanted in the airy substance-The Son of God.
