Law of Four - (534)

Introduction

There is the well known Law of Three and the Law of Seven, and there is the Law of Four, which is not so well known but it exists. Lets have a look.

The Four

There are the four:

•          Kingdoms of Nature (human, animal, plant and mineral)
•          States of consciousness (sleep, vigil, self-consciousness, awakened)
•          Elements (air, water, fire and earth)
•          Seasons (spring, summer, autumn and winter)
•          Colours of the Alchemy (black, white, yellow and red)
•          Ages (Gold, silver, bronze and iron)
•          Yugas
•          Cardinal points (North, South, East and West)
•          Worlds (mineral, cellular, molecular & electronic)
•          Bodies of sin (physical, vital, astral and mental)
•          Tetra-sustainers of the universe
•          Kabirs
•          kayas (Dharmakaya, Nirvanakaya, Sambogakaya and can't remember will look it up)
•          Worlds in Kabbalah
•          States of matter (solid, liquid, vapour and plasma)

Function

So, the law of four has a function just as the law of three and seven does. The law of three creates and the law of seven organizes. The law of four sustains. Just like something that has four corners or pillars is something stable and sustainable. The fact that we have four limbs means that we can sustain ourselves in life. It is like the law of four covers the possibilities or states or qualities or densities in which created things can be in.

Conclusion – Practical Application

The way we can use the law of four in our life is by finding four elements to stabilize and sustain any possible endeavour that we undertake. If we are missing one of these elements we will falter. So we need in any element or end endeavourer activity: action, mind, emotion and will. If we miss one we will soon give up or it will be too difficult to sustain if we lack one of these four elements of action, mind, emotion and will.
