Rediscovering the Essence of Aether

Exploring the Science-Spirituality Connection

Hello, beautiful Souls,

Today, I am talking about the wondrous element, Aether and how its presence was suddenly cast aside and nearly lost.

Before jumping in, I want to share this snippet… Aether as an element was removed from the periodic table in 1908.

Let’s embark on a fascinating journey through time as we unravel the interplay between science and spirituality; all centred around the enigmatic concept of Aether. It’s like delving into a treasure trove of mind-expanding insights and cosmic revelations, so buckle up for an exciting ride!

Aether, the quintessential essence of existence, is a paradoxical marvel—it simultaneously encompasses everything and nothing. Imagine it as the cosmic glue that binds the fabric of reality, from the vast reaches of galaxies to the minute of everyday life. In ancient philosophies like yoga and Ayurveda, Aether takes centre stage as the primordial element, known as ‘akasha’. In Vedantic philosophy, the word acquires its technical meaning of “an ethereal fluid pervading the cosmos.”

Unlike the tangible elements of earth, water, fire, and air, Aether exudes an ethereal, subtle, pervasive essence like the gentle hum of the universe’s heartbeat. It permeates every corner of existence, providing the canvas upon which the fabric of creation unfurls. 

And guess what? It’s not just out there in the cosmos—it’s also within us, inhabiting the spaces of our bodies, from the caverns of our sinuses to the expanses of our lungs.

In the bygone era, medieval alchemists were captivated by Aether’s transformative potential, believing it held the key to transmuting base elements into precious treasures and unlocking the secrets of eternal life. They bestowed upon it the respected title of ‘quintessence,’ envisioning it as the celestial elixir of life that imbued stars, galaxies, and enlightened Souls with the divine essence.

Few more points on what Aether might be:

  • Aether (one of the classical elements), in medieval cosmology and science, the fifth element that fills the universe beyond the Earths sphere
  • Quintessence (in physics), a form of energy, postulated to explain the accelerating expansion of the universe

Meanwhile, the ancient Greeks perceived Aether as a divine force—an “ethereal” bridge connecting the material world to the realms of spirituality and higher consciousness. A Cosmic Mother that nurtured and guided humanity on its spiritual journey.

For the ancient yogis, Aether also represented the ultimate manifestation of the Cosmic Mother—the nurturing, all-encompassing energy that sustains and nourishes all life. Through meditation and spiritual practices, they sought to attune themselves to Aether’s subtle vibrations, transcending the confines of the material realm and merging with the cosmic embrace of the Divine Feminine.

Now, let’s infuse a touch of archetype magic into the mix. Picture Aether as the all-embracing Cosmic Mother, in essence, the Living Goddess—the divine creatrix who breathes life into the universe and guides humanity on its evolutionary journey. With the power of creation in hand, she offers a potent fragrance of potentiality, releasing it into the vast expanse of the cosmos, where it unfolds into multitude forms of existence.

At this point I am also reminded of the movie “The Fifth Element” where this fifth element is depicted as L O V E, highlighting its creative and somewhat feminine nature.

One of the central themes in “The Fifth Element” is Love and its transformative power. The film highlights the idea that love has the potential to transcend time, space, and even species. The character of Leeloo, the supreme being and the fifth element, is sent to Earth as a representative of love. 

As the story progresses, she develops a deep connection with Korben Dallas, the protagonist. Through their growing bond, the film explores the idea that love can inspire individuals to overcome their limitations and embrace their higher selves.

As we contemplate the profound mysteries of Aether, we are awestruck by its dual nature—a boundless void teeming with infinite potential. From the alchemical dreams of transmutation to the yogic quest for spiritual enlightenment, Aether weaves its magic through our human experience.

But before we lose ourselves in a cosmic trance, let’s set the stage. Picture a world before the 1920s, where scientific inquiry and spiritual exploration walked hand in hand, seeking to unravel the mysteries of existence. Aether is the celestial superstar in the scientific arena, with luminaries like Maxwell and Faraday promoting its significance in understanding the universe’s fundamental forces. It was the golden thread weaving through the fabric of scientific inquiry, guiding humanity towards a deeper understanding of the cosmos.

But then along came Einstein, with his groundbreaking theory of relativity, shaking the foundations of scientific thought and debunking Aether to the backblocks of history.

Meanwhile, in spirituality, Aether continued to shine as the Cosmic Mother—a guiding light illuminating the path to spiritual awakening and higher consciousness.

As science progressed and spirituality evolved, Aether faded from the forefront of human inquiry. Still, her legacy is a reminder of the intricate dance between pragmatic observation and spiritual exploration. Sadly, this story is reminiscent of the denial and dismissal of the feminine aspect of the whole.

So, let’s embrace the spirit of curiosity and wonder as we journey through the realms of science and spirituality. Let’s continue to explore the mysteries of the universe, guided by the majesty of Aether and the wisdom of our Cosmic Mother, The Living Goddess.

Participating with Purpose #2

The Spiritual Purpose of Life

In the sixteenth century Isaac Luria a renowned Kabbalist used the phrase Tikkun Olam, usually translated as repairing the world; this is the correcting and transforming role of humanity in the ongoing evolution of consciousness. Luria taught that the Creator; the Divine Living Presence created the world by forming vessels of light to hold the Divine Light. But as the Creator poured the Light into the vessels they shattered and tumbled down toward the realm of matter, the lower worlds. Thus, our world consists of countless creations of the original vessels, which are entrapped with the holy sparks of Divine Light. Humanity’s great task involves helping the Creator by freeing and reuniting these scattered holy sparks. By helping in the raising of these sparks back to the upper worlds, we are purposefully participating in divine restoration.

We meet similar concepts in other religions. The Christ; know as Jesus promised to return with the Kingdom of Heaven and encouraged people to prepare through love, wakefulness, and charity. In Buddhism, the Bodhisattva vows to forgo final liberation until all beings have been freed from suffering. The Gnostics held that a spark of Divinity resides entrapped within the soul of humans.

These concepts encompass both outer and inner work, both service to society by helping those in need and service to the Divine by liberating the spark within us – The Light. It’s learning to add value to the world through our generosity of spirit, and finding heaven in our heart. As we are, the Divine spark lies hidden beneath our layers of egoistic self-centeredness. That spark of light is our true value, through which Divine Will flows toward us. By pursuing spiritual inner work to strengthen our soul and purify our heart, we grow more able to bear that spark without shattering.

The work of transformation and building of a soul creates a sound vessel for the Holy Spark, which then returns that spark back to the service of The Divine Living Presence. Working to perfect our self and our soul through serving society, we contribute to the perfecting of the world. This is our creative expression, duty, and our calling as human beings. 

To contemplate and enter the process of repairing or perfecting the world, we need to understand the concept of the world. All the major religious traditions present a hierarchy of worlds or levels of being, from the one we ordinarily inhabit to the ultimate world of Divinity.

For example, the worlds are Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, and Celestial. Beyond all these is The Divine Living Presence; the Mother-Father Creator, the Boundless and Absolute. Each of the worlds corresponds to a progressively higher level of cosmic energy that relates to the levels of one’s soul.

  • The Physical realm utilizes the energy from which the soul can grow more.
  • The Emotional realm is built on conscious energy, the basis of awareness.
  • The Spiritual realm works with creative energy, which is brought to life by the Light.
  • The Celestial realm, which is Divine Purpose, brings with it the energy of Radiant Love, which forms greater coherence with The Divine Living Presence.

The basic principles are that the seeker pursues spiritual practice to transform his or her being and rise through the levels of the realms/worlds, to bring his or her own will back to Divine will, while opening a way for the higher energies to flow down to this world, and thereby advancing the great process of restoration.

For millennia many spiritual masters have sought to serve this process by meditating on, and opening to the higher energy of Divine Love and Light this is the Light of the Radiant Self. They allow the Light to spread through them as if sitting in its midst and draw the Light down for the Earth, for life, for their own soul. The possibility of opening to the Divine Light stands within reach of us all if we are prepared to do the necessary inner work.

For those who can, yet another possibility presents itself, with a pure heart and a quiet mind, the person creates contact with Divine Light and raises the Light up into the Radiant Self, then offering the Light to the Creator in a sacred act of service, which is hidden (Higher Chamber) in the higher worlds. Only then does the person open the channel for the Light to flow down through his or her soul into our worldThe idea of Divine Restoration places spiritual practice at the heart of this epic unfolding of the universe: it is the evolution and spiritualization of creation. With each small act of kindness, with each moment of being fully present, with each effort to see, cleanse, and integrate our inner life, with each heartfelt prayer opening to the higher energies and the higher will, we build the new world and serve the Divine Architect.

In conclusion, the outcome of the whole process remains uncertain because of the nature of free will. Truth is though serving our planet and fulfilling our highest destiny really does matter. Our personal inner work does, in fact, make a difference. If we can raise ourselves to the station where the Divine can see and act through us, then we complete the momentous work of restoring at least one part to the Whole. This story of Divine Restoration helps us discover a vision of unbounded meaning; it gives purpose to perfecting ourselves, perfecting the world and creating a genuine connection with the Mother-Father Creator.

Energy Upgrades

The Lionsgate Portal is always an amazing energetic gateway.

And this year it is particularly powerful… We have four Coronal Mass Ejections headed straight for us. (CMEs), which are large expulsions of plasma from the Sun’s corona. – This increases the incoming energies 10 fold.

You may be feeling some head pressure, and ringing ears or an electrical vibrating sensation. These encounters could begin and continue growing from 8/8/2021 and thereafter. I suggest its time to not just go through your experiences, but rather you fully G R O W through this time!

Your body may experience it as: 

Vertigo, Vision issues, Throat pain, Electrical surges, Teeth pain, Neck and Back issues, Restless legs, Nausea, and Extreme Fatigue.

Your Body and Soul Higher Alignment is going to its next level, I have now started to recognise these time of intense energy, as more of an upgrade to my whole systems body. For example, last night 7/8/2021 I was unusually, falling asleep while watching a movie. I know that doesn’t sound that unusual, but this was extremely intense. Like a total shutting down of my waking system, in preparation for a total rebooting of my system. When I woke in the morning at 10.00am, after about 12 hrs sleep, my vision was very clear(was blurred the day before), I looked out the window into the garden, where the Light on the trees was sparkling with vitality, it felt like pure bliss and full of divinity. It is so important now to listen to what both your Body and Soul are directing you to do.

Something else to consider; This month in the Living Attributes system, holds the number 8, which is also the gateway for the Archetypal Forces of The Blissful Divine Child.

If you have this particular archetype, through the act of Being Loving, you will ultimately, become a gateway for the powerful archetypal force of the Blissful Divine Child. We are indeed living through a powerful and challenging time in human history, but you can co-create with these natural forces that evolve and shape humanity.

The key in becoming a gateway, is knowing How To Be, in order to become, and when you do, your Being-ness opens the gateway for your Souls specific archetypal alignment.

Be brave beloved and embrace your Spiritual Evolution!
