Fire
- Devotion
- Purification
- Creation
Love is the flame which, when it blazes, consumes everything other than the Beloved. The lover wields the sword of Nothingness in order to dispatch all but God: consider what remains after Nothing. There remains but God.
Fire is the alchemical furnace in the center of the chest, the internal generator where the Infinite combusts with the material. It is the original paradox: the blinding Yang star that warms and illuminates, and the freezing, empty Yin of the cosmic black hole. This is the geometry of the Merkabah; the self-dual field of light and dark that forms the very core of existence. Fire is what makes your breath a sacred bellows for creation. It is the radiant vibration of your unique gifts, uncontained, unapologetic, and capable of both generating unconditional Love and naturally incinerating that which is false. It is the raw, immortal nuclear power of the heart.
Mastery of Fire is also the embrace of the deep, freezing dark. Whenever you feel a crushing tightness or panic in your chest, recognize that it is simply the immense life force of your own light asking for oxygen. When this elemental force appears, tend your inner hearth. Do not scatter your energy through anxiety or dampen your brilliant warmth just to make others comfortable. Allow yourself to use your breath as a spiritual bellows. Breathe directly into your fear until it combusts into sheer aliveness. Let the white-hot heat of your truth melt away what is not in alignment with Love, and offer the resulting warmth as a generous gift to the world. You are a supernova waiting to happen, never apologize for your light.
