Introduction
As we know water is one of the four elements and really they
are all special, without either one we would not have creation and life the way
we have it now.
We know that water is akin to life, it is what life comes
out of and it is what sustains life. Earth provides the platform for life, fire
is the energy of life and air is like the movement of life. All the elements
fulfil a role in sustaining life. However, water does something a little extra.
The following excerpts from Gurdjieff and Master Samael tell
us what this extra function is and why water is so important to the formation
and especially the sustaining of life.
Excerpt – Gurdjieff
Water and the Trogoautoegocratic Law
“The said pearl is
formed in one-brained beings which breed in the ‘Saliakooriap’ of your planet
Earth, that is to say, in that part of it which is called ‘Hentralispana,’ or, as
your favourites might express it, the blood of the planet, which is present in
the common presence of every planet and which serves the actualizing of the
process of the Most Great common-cosmic Trogoautoegocrat; and there on your
planet this part is called ‘water.’”
Water and the Three Primary Forces
“In this bread the
crystallization of cosmic substances is also obtained according to the law of
Triamazikamno, the substances from the following three relatively independent sources
serving as the three holy forces of this sacred law, namely: the holy affirming
or active principle is the totality of those cosmic substances composing what your
favourites call ‘water’; the denying or passive principle is the totality of
the substances composing what your favourites call the ‘flour’ obtained from
the divine wheat grain; and the holy reconciling or neutralizing principle is the
substance issuing or obtained as the result of burning, or, as your favourites
say, from ‘fire.’
“For a better
elucidation of the thought I have expressed concerning the significance of a
permanent fusion of diverse-sourced cosmic substances, let us take as an example
the said relatively independent totality of substances which in the formation
of this prosphora or bread is the active principle, namely, the relatively
independent totality which is called by your favourites ‘water.’
“This relatively
independent totality of cosmic substances named there on the Earth water, being
in itself one might say, a ‘natural mechanical mixture,’ can be preserved
exclusively only in conditions of conjunction with common Nature. If the
connection of this water with common Nature is cut, that is to say, if a little
of this water is taken out of a river and kept separately in a vessel, then
after a certain time the water in this vessel inevitably begins to be gradually
destroyed, or as it might otherwise be said, to decompose, and this process, to
the perceptive organs of beings, usually smells very ‘malodorously,’ or, as
your favourites would say, this water soon ’stinks.’”
Excerpt – Master Samael
“What will we say now
of the element water? Obviously it is through this element that the eternal
common cosmic “Trogoautoegocratic” process is cryatsllized, making possible the
reciprocating nourishment of all the creatures. If the Earth were to remain
without water, if the seas were to dry up, if the rivers were to disappear, all
the creatures that inhabit the face of the Earth would die; with this concrete
and definitive fact it is completely demonstrated that water is the agent
through which is crystallized the eternal common cosmic “Trogoautoegocratic”
law.”
Conclusion
So water receives cosmic forces and transmits them to us
all, and water absorbs things from us and transmits them to the cosmos.
Gurdjieff said something interesting that when water is cut
from nature and bottled it begins to degrade. He also says that water is an
active principle corresponding to the first primary force of nature.
