The Levels and Layers

Four of the "rings" that go to make up the Cosmic Egg are called "The Elements". The Names of each of these Elements is based on the heating and cooling of water - Fire, Air, Water and Earth, although Earth is not the 'earth' but might be better thought of symbolically as "ice" - frozen or crystalline Water. Despite the symbolic names, every level is regarded as being ‘terrestrial’ and not ‘celestial’ . And only the Earth level is capable of being perceived with our 5 senses, which means a great deal might be defined as "dark energy". These Elements are found as the Suits in the Tarot cards. Here they are called Disks, Swords, Cups and Wands and in turn these eventually find their way into playing cards as hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades. In other words, the Elements form the backbone of many esoteric symbol systems , so that colours, architectural [masonic] patterns, the vowels of the alphabet , even the so called continents of the T-O maps are related to the Elements by their correspondences. And the Spiritual Path has as its objective the rise above all things terrestrial, and thus a rise above the Elements, to get to the celestial. Symbolically to stop being just one of the suits and become a King or Queen. ==================== CREDITS Paintings Millais - ferdinand-lured-by-ariel-1850 Hilda Koe – The Goblin market ArthurRackham Cicely Mary Barker Edward_Burne-Jones_-_The_Beguiling_of_Merlin Sir Joseph Noel Paton – The Quarrel of Oberon and Titania Robert Fludd – images from Ultriusme Cosmi etc VIDEO AND AUDIO EFFECTS AND FOOTAGE Fire Stock Footage | Royalty Free | No Copyright Video https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=RMyhFoMaiBQ Waterfall Tilt Up - 4K Royalty Free Footage https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=y90b5D22CbI Cloudy Sky Timelapse 4K Free HD Stock Footage https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=IyMnq0fuxfo Snowfall Winter | Free Stock Footage | Free HD Video - No Copyright https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=SDzl9uB7j0s Heigh Ho - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=HI0x0KYChq4 4K Abstract Dark Background With Moving Particles | Free Stock Video Footage HD 4K https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=pAvIZfYa28A 4k abstract particle animation https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=BslOgLh4soc Partikel https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=6p0-Zp8JptU Free Slow Motion Footage: Falling Cards https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=tV7roJveR1c&list=PLiSCWpFv3DTZKXlbKUa3LL7xX_t0qtOpR Playing Cards 01 - Throwing Cards on White Surface / Free Stock Footage (4K) https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=-TlQBTM2MBs Timelapse inside a cathedral in Rome, Italy - Free HD stock footage https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=haT4tGRM9OU Crackling Fireplace Sound Effect HQ https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=lQPdYRh3CME 10 Waterfall Sound Effects NO COPYRIGHT (Huay Kaew, Chiang Rai) https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=qboB585cmsk MUSIC 00:00 Beneath the Moonlight - Aaron Kenny 02:04 Dreamy - Alexander Nakarada | Emotional Cinematic Music (No Copyright) Free Download: https://bit.ly/341yz0E​ Music promoted by No Copyright: https://bit.ly/33JkJQc​ 04:56 Poisoned Rose - Aakash Gandhi 09:08 Night Snow - Asher Fulero 12:43 Earth Appears - Brian Bolger
