Introduction
Here are some reason why we need it.
Element of the Spirit
Of the four element that make up creation and which also
make us up, fire is the most spiritual and transcendental.
As the self-realisation is a realisation of the human as
well as the spiritual we need an element of the same nature as the spirit that
will help us to realise the spiritual.
The fire is overcome by the elements of earth and water. Air
on the other hand complements, fuels and causes fire to advance and rise. Air
being a subtler and more spiritual complements fire, though water and earth
being more like matter overcome fire.
Though when fire works on earth and water it enhances its
properties. Fire makes water into vapour (more subtle) and fire tempers earth
and steel, making clay into bricks and iron into steel where it is more useful
to men.
Fire is in the Being
Of all the elements the element that is more in our inner
Being is fire. The inner Being is of energy, fire and light. Our inner Being,
our Inner Father-Mother is a living fire.
As energetic and formless as fire. As light and light
bearing as it fire. As primordial and ancient as fire.
Water and Fire – Primordial Elements of Creation
The Alchemist taught that mercury and sulphur or water and
fire are the primordial element of creations. In orders, matter and spirit. For
the inner to Being to be able to master Its own creation and be able to create
anew, it must possess fire and master fire.
For this end, fire must be incarnated within the vehicle of
the Monad. The water, the raw mercury is incarnated daily in the vehicle of the
Being.
Sacrifice is Fire
Fire is sacrifice. Fire converts matter into energy. Giving
off heat and light. With sacrifice, causes are moved and new things created.
Fire renovates, creates and refreshes things anew.
To aspire to the new, to generate the causes for new effects
we need fire.
Ascending Locomotive
The fire comes down from the Absolute and reaches upwards to
reunite with its source.
Fire knows how to ascend, it always stretches up vertically.
To climb is in its inherent intelligence. It always knows how to take it and
all that it is devouring up, back to its source.
In its ascension it inspires us to feed it. And the sacred
fire is fed with the merits of our heart and the death of the ego. So, the fire
in us inspires the death of the ego and it also inspires the good and the noble
to flourish in us.
The fire is the locomotive behind one’s spiritual ascent. It
is our ascending engine. It is our power to ascend.
Fire Brings Light
Fire transmuted is light and light transmuted is gold.
Fire is temptation and triumph over temptation is light.
Fire is a kind of spiritual love.
The contrast of the two opposites is what produces a spark
and that spark is light, it is consciousness. Fire is generated by the meeting
of the two opposites: a flint and a rock for example.
Liberates and Opens
Fire in its action liberates. It releases energy from all
that it devours.
Open the mysteries of each vertebra and releases us bit by
bit from hypnosis.
Fire also liberates the fire that dwells in the waters. That
is the energy contained in our spermatic waters.
Redeems and Devours
Fire devours so to convert what it devours into things of the
same nature as it. It is the Divine element that devours and makes us bit by
bit more divine by devouring us.
When it devours us and converts us more into its nature it
redeems us.
It descends to us and raises us up. The Divine Mother and
the Intimate Christ are living fires.
Conclusion
For our spiritual work we need the sacred fire!
