Creative Element of Air
Oxygen/Atmosphere Cycle
The Creative Force of Earth and Air acting upon the first matter and energy, formed the “Atmosphere,” the air we breathe. Atmosphere is symbolized by an ever-expanding circle with no center. The circle also represents the first energy of creation or what is called Niter.
It is the air of the atmosphere that humans first breathe that causes the physical organism of the body to start its metabolic functions and create internal heat. Many world beliefs teach that the Soul enters the body during the baby’s first intake of breath and leaves during the body last exhalation. No matter what one may believe, this amorphous energy drives our physical creation until we exhale our last breaths and our body grows cold and decomposes. It is involved in the animation of any potential physical creations by some intangible energy.
Atmosphere is the “Breath of Life” that animates all creation.
Atmosphere is represented by the color yellow. In the progression of the colors around the color wheel as it falls in between the Red of Creation and Green of Physicality. It is a secondary creative factor that is involved in the physical manifestation of our living planet or Nature. Air as a Creative Force and Atmosphere is the Creative Element.
The alchemical symbol for a circle would be an appropriate symbology for the attributes of atmosphere; as the atmosphere surrounds a planet with elemental gasses which provide the living nourishment of all living organisms.
A prosopopoeia is an avatar that speaks on behalf of the Creative Elements as they are represented in the mineral kingdom. Regardless of all explanations and mystical qualities that a stone may exhibit, the Law of Suggestion best explains their energetic properties; a simple seed planted within the subconscious.
Any repeating pattern of behavior can be defined as a ritual. These procedural routines developed by an individual in regards to a stone, carry with them a message developed through subjective experiences and education. The act of consciously using a stone in acknowledgment of those memories and lessons contribute to an inward unfoldment of consciousness.
