Putting Out Negative Fires – (1675)

Introduction

The egos make use of the elements within us. This is because our constitution is made up of the elements. Some egos use one element more than others.

If we know how to manage the elements we can actually help ourselves in the dissolution of the egos that predominantly use these elements.

Egos that Use Fire

The egos that use the fire element are egos such as: anger, lust, irritation, annoyance, intolerance etc.

When such egos are very active in us, the element of fire is burning intensely. But of course in a negative way.

Put Out the Negative Fire

If we know a bit about how the element of fire works, we can use that knowledge to put out that burning fire that is polarised negatively.

Reduce Air Supply

If we starve fire of air it dies down and goes out. As air in us is our thoughts, the less we think the less we feed the fire and the sooner it dies down and goes out.

Add Water

We know that fire goes out when we add water. Water in us is adaptability, calm, life giving nourishment, love, emotion, flow etc.

So if we flow on in life, bring to ourselves the emotions of benevolence, kindness to others and ourselves, flow to where there are calm circumstances, people and spiritual nourishment we can reduce that burning fire. Even go to a river or the ocean to clean and clear the solar plexus and bring the fresh cooling qualities of the ocean and river into you. You can swim or just sit by the water and meditate on the water.

Enclose in Earth

We know also that if we put fire into a clay oven or a confined space we can control it much better. Earth in us is routine, discipline, action, firmness, steadiness etc.

If we submit ourselves to our routine, to an activity, to exercise, to work on something we can help curtail the burning fire in us. The more we persist with the work, routine or activity we will see how the burning fire begins to come under control.

Conclusion

Every negative burning fire in us is finite. It will always burn out by itself. This is definitely for sure. The above very simple techniques will help along this putting out of the negative fire.
