The Philosophy of Water - A follower of water does make the same fast progress as that of fire, they do not break through blockages quickly and do not speed towards there goals. But a follower of water know to go with the flow, that not everything can be achieved right now or very soon, like the tide they work at there blockages and goals and then withdraw, rest and take stock before returning to further there ends. Water works away reducing obstacles and blockages in this manner reducing them until they can be achieved or overcome. Like water the child of water is flexible and looks to flow where the surroundings allow whilst over time re sculpting those very surroundings and making slow and subtle differences that over time slowly forges a new path.

The Philosophy of Fire - Fire is a powerful tool in energy work, a fire follower breaks through blockages in there energy body and wont be stopped in there life by obstacles as they burn through anything in there way. They seem like powerful people that nothing can stop.

The advantage of following the path of fire is that it is strong and very little will stand in the way of self improvement and achieving your goals as you burn through obstacles and progress like the flame in a forest fire. The disadvantage of fire is the you only burn as long as you have the fuel to continue, an example of a fire animal is a Cheetah, 0 - 60 Mph faster than a Grand Prix car the not much gets away from a Cheetah, but once it has burned its fuel required for that burst of speed the Cheetah physically must rest or die from its system being overwhelmed by its own activities and at this time it is vunerable to over creatures taking what it has earned or chased down. This is so with anyone that uses the fire perspective, progress comes in quick bursts of speed but afterwards there needs to be rest. Like Autumn and Winter following the Summer before Spring when the energy wakes again. Fire is a natural part of the cycle but holding onto the fire perspective for to long and you may deplete yourself so much that all other progress will have to cease  whilst you rest, listen to your body and its energy in this matter are it may force you to rests when you do not want to.

Show as much revenance for the Earth as you do for Heaven. For the Earth is everybit as important. It is like Adam and Eve in the bible. This is not a literal story but one of metaphoric significance. The Earth was created from the Father Universe just as Eve was created from Adam. The two form a bond, that without one the other would suffer and life would cease to exist amongst you. So show revenance to the Earth as you do to the Heaven.

Be still in your mind when you feel anger. Search for its source WITHIN, not without, for anger is not something that can be attributed to another. Anger comes from within you and has its roots in past hurts and fears that are todays pain. Blame no other for your anger, instead be still in your mind and look within.

Be aware of your nature as Human beings, as souls on your human journey. You are creations of Heaven AND Earth. A conduit of the two, Your top three chakras are that of heaven, your bottom three are of Earth. But we have seven I hear you say? The centre Chakra "The Heart" Centre is you. You are the bridge between the energies of Heaven and Earth an equal balance of both. To be strong and connected in your human form work from your heart centre, breath from your heart centre, love from your heart centre. Only from here can you do the work you incarnated to do. Only from here do you reach the true balance of Heaven and Earth.

My Teacher in one of our latest meditations

Meditation is a calming of the mind, in your mind you have an incalcuable amount of information. Like a Large building with thousands of rooms connected by a vast amount of corridors. When your mind works flat out to find a specific kind of information it is akin to running around these corridors and checking each room individually, you will find your answer eventually but how many rooms will you have to look in? How much time will be wasted and how much stress will you put yourself through? The meditative mind is akin to walking in the foyer and having a well laid out directory to look at.

Change is constant and infinite, influence is subtle and measured

The room full of arguements has been getting worse of the last few days, no one listens to anyone and a chasm is forming. I need a walk....

The Teacher smiles as I approach, sat against his signpost, taking in the warmth of the sun, the blue sky and the gentle breeze. I sit down opposite him.

"Perspective" I say

"Perspective" He beams.

"You cant change perspective" I say, sure in my conviction. He smiles warmly and closes his eyes.

"Change will always come, like day and night and the seasons change is inevitable and infinite. Yes winter is still winter, but mild winters, long winters, short winters are many parts of a long gradual change." I nod not quite understanding but seeing that things dont stay the same. "But how do you change, change?" He laughs a hearty but warm laugh. "you cant change, change. You cant stop it and you cant start it, you can slow it or speed it up. You can influence its direction but it will happen regradless of your permission."

"How?" I ask, "How do you influence it?"

"You remember the valley? A traveller comes to the four valleys and his insatiable curiousity drives him to explore the four faces of the mountain. On his travels he comes into contact with the four tribes, he stays with each one for a number of days learning from them and passing on what he has seen and learned. All four tribes have a long history that drives there perspective and once over the shock that there are others around the mountain they all become adamant that the only way of life for them is there own. The traveller does not argue with them, he listens and shares stories and for a long time he walks through the four valleys in this way. Eventually the travellers presence becomes normal, the younger members of the tribes listen to his stories and want to learn more, they ask questions and eventually some of them ask to travel with him. He allows it and these youngsters grown up seeing all four perspectives until they reach into adulthood when they have children of there own. They learn of what is around them and change spreads it wings and flies faster. Sometimes there is conflict and argument but the seed is planted and it will grow, whether slowed or sped up it will grow and come to fruition, you understand?" "I do. Change is all around us, it will happen, you cant fight it. In fact you dont have to fight at all with anyone, just be the influence." He smiles and pats me on the shoulder. "you learn well my friend".

I laugh "You are a good teacher".

"No such thing as a good teacher, bad teacher, good pupil, bad pupil. Just right teacher, right pupil. See you soon" He says as he places his hand on my head. I feel a gentle downward force and Im falling. I open my eyes and begin travelling around the room of conflict between the camps...........

A mountain has many faces, no two are exactly the same.

I first met the teacher whilst walking. The sun shone and the sky was blue, the countryside lush. I felt his influence before I saw him sat upon ground marvelling at the life around him. He often does that, just sits and watches. As I drew level with him he looked up and regarded me with the kind eyes that are used to seeing to the centre of every situation.

"Perspective" He Said.

"Perspectvie?" I questioned.

"Is the at the centre of all." his smile was infectious and I found myself smiling and the stress and worries of the day fell away along with my anger that had set me out on my walk. Its hard to look at the teacher without being dragged in to those eyes, my perception seemed to go from his outline to his face. He wore robes of some description and sat cross legged but leant against a signpost.

"There is a mountain, it has four faces north, east, south and west. Each face has a valley that leads up to it." he looks at me to see if I understand. I have no idea what is coming next and find myself curious for him to continue so I nod. "The North face is cold, and strong winds scour its surface. The valley funnels the winds and is constantly cold and hostile. In its hostility it provides both predators and prey all suited  to the environment. The tribe that live here are used to living in cold and hardship and depend on the the animals around them for there meat and there fur coats. They offer thanks to the great spirit for the animals which provide the very means of there survival." I Nod, the environment sounds harsh but livable. "The East face was once the scene of a volcanic erruption, hot lava forged a trench to the valley and made the ground fertile, this face sees a lot of the sun and the spring thaw brings fresh water in a river down the trench from the melted ice and plenty of fish and wildlife. The seasons are gentle and there is not much telling them apart. The tribe that live here consider themselves blessed with fertile ground, fresh water and an abundance of food. They farm and fish and are happy with the lot in life." I nod again, this village seems ideallic and a good place to live."The South face was also stricken by a volcanic erruption but here great rents in the earth of the valley brought to the surface minerals and metals, some good but some very toxic to life through prolonged exposure. Life is often cut short here and is harsh in its existance. Sickness is a constant battle, but the healers of the tribe have developed some very potent medicines as well as blacksmithing has been developed to allow the more advanced use of metal tools. This tribe fights to survive and life and death are celebrated all to close to each other." I nod saddened by the situation this tribe is in. "The west face like the east gets plenty of sun and fresh water and lives a good life. This face of the mountain though has seen much activity from the weather and has many fault lines and weak points where an avalance can begin. At irregular periods an avalance may come and many may die, sometimes most of the village can be covered and will need to rebuild. These people are a hardy people that live a determined life of abundance and destruction, death takes people on a whim." He looks at me for understanding and I see the outlook of these people would be one of stoicism. I nod.

"So you see, if one mountain can bring so many different experiences and persepectives to people then what a can a whole continent do? Or a world? Or a universe? You see?" I saw. We all have a different view based on our experiences of the universe, its the same universe but different at the same time. "I understand" I smile at him. "that others are different from there experiences, it doesnt make them wrong. Just different." I felt a knot in the pit of my stomach come loose and fall away. he leans forward and says "A friend of mine once said that holding on to anger is like holding on to a hot coal with the intention of throwing it at another, you end up burning yourself." I have heard that before.......where "Wasnt that Buddha?" I say "Buddha is your friend?", He smiles and says "We are finished for today, time to go home" and his finger gently pushes my sternum. I feel the world fall away and I open my eyes back in a room full of arguements but with a smile on my face.....
