Angels & Devils part 3
The Life of an Elemental

Virtual Circle Lesson December 25, 2002

We stated in the  previous lesson that the personality of a man or woman is the sum total of the elementals he or she expresses.  These elementals are formed of etheric substance by the emotions, desires, thoughts and behaviors we express.  These shape the personality defining our character with weaknesses and strengths in various degrees.  

If we are happy or unhappy in life is directly related to the quality, quantity and strength of the elementals we harbor and express.  Our character is either debased or dignified by our expressions.  Negative emotional based elementals of fear, hatred, jealousy, envy, possessiveness and meanness create conditional hells within our personality.  Their influences torture our minds and hearts and can in many cases result in illnesses to the material body.  They live and thrive on our etheric vitality.  In cases where their withdrawal is excessive, our material body is deprived of the energy it needs and becomes weakened. 

Consider what happens when a person becomes angry and enraged.  During these fits of anger, aggressive war loving elementals gain access to that person’s etheric double.  Anger consumes and wastes great quantities of etheric energy needed by the body.   An angry person becomes red in the face, the body temperature goes up and reason goes out the window.   Sometimes they shout, threaten, slap and in extreme cases kill.  A person under the influence of anger is convinced that they are rightly justified in expressing anger in these ways.   When the person eventually calms down again, they feel weak and exhausted clearly revealing the loss of their etheric vitality.  It is said that one outburst of anger can waste more energy that we get from eating a month’s worth of food.  This excessive withdrawal of vital energy stresses and weakens the body.  This year the American Heart Association did a study and found that: “People who are highly anger-prone are nearly three times more likely to have a heart attack.” 

There is a popular method offered today by psychologists for dealing with anger that is very dangerous and should be avoided completely.   Some psychologists who do not know about elementals advise that when you feel anger to go and beat your pillows with your fist or a baseball bat.  Beating the pillows you sleep on to discharge feelings of anger may give a momentary release of pressure.  However, the process greatly strengthens the aggressive elementals and the habit of expressing them.  It also leaves the pillow you sleep on tainted with vibrations of anger.  Never express anger in the bed and area where you sleep.  Hitting pillows is better than hitting people but it is a poor technique for real healing.  

I knew a woman whose anger resulted in a divorce.   She went to psychologists for therapy.   One of them advised her to hit her pillow to release her anger.   She liked this idea because it gave her an illusory sense of power over her problem and a temporary relief of pressure.   She regularly and enthusiastically would beat her bed pillows with her tennis racket freely expressing her rage towards her ex-husband.  She continued this “anger therapy” for a long time.   A couple of years after her divorce, she was driving by her ex-husband’s home and saw his new girlfriend’s car in the driveway.   She became very angry.  She felt the urge to strike something to express her anger.   So she smashed her new luxury car into the girlfriend’s car.  Some time after this incident we crossed paths again.   She announced that she had started a new career – teaching anger management techniques in workshops.

There are many methods offering healthier ways to deal with angry feelings today.  One of the more effective ways is through breathing.  By watching your breath and maintaining a calm deep regular breathing rate you gain control of your etheric double.   In gaining control you deprive aggressive elementals from accessing this vital energy field.  You gain control over the violent psychical vibrations known as anger.   In gaining control you become the master of these fierce elementals and not their prey.

Harmful elementals are spreading like plagues through all the nations on the planet today. Everywhere, people are in confusion…not because of what God has made of man but what man has done to him self.   We confuse, will power with obstinacy, opportunity with temptation; and our greatest mistake of all is in confusing our real Self with its reflection in time and place - the personality.  Our semi-conscious personality is the sum total of all the transient feelings, thoughts, and behaviors we express.  These contradictory strengths and weaknesses create a distorted and dim reflection of our real Self.  Yet it is this reflection we mistakenly identify as our self and life.

The life of most personalities is eighty percent subconscious living. The common person wakes in the morning and dresses; and then habitually goes about the day struggling with the issues of their existence.  Then at night they eat dinner and talk briefly with the family and maybe passively watch TV.  (A recent study in the US showed that the typical working father spends and average 7.5 minutes talking with his wife and 3.5 minutes talking with each child per day)   At the end of the day sleep comes. They then linger in a dream state for a while and then passing into a kind of temporary non-existence during dreamless sleep.  The next day they get up, recompose their personality exactly as it was the day before, and the cycle continues day after day.  By sleepwalking through our daily patterns; are we really living life?  Or is this the life of the living dead? 

Christ once said to a man, “Follow me.”  The man’s father was still alive so the man said to Christ “First let me go and bury my father.” And Christ replied “Let the dead bury the dead” Luke 9:59-60 (NIV).  This was not a comment that we should not care for our family but a commentary on the condition of people existing like the living dead.  It is also a persuasion for each of us as a personality to wake up right now and enter into the kingdom of the heavens which is within our own divine nature.

We are not asked to abandon our life and relationships and cloister ourselves away from the world.  Everyone is in their divinely appointed place to get their life lessons.  What is asked of us as personalities is to wake from our subconscious slumbering and become more and more conscious of what we do and what we really are.   This leads us from sub-consciousness, to consciousness, to Self Consciousness and eventually to Self-Super consciousness.   

To do this, we must understand and learn to use the Mind consciously.  Mind is the greatest gift given to man and its magnificent treasures are waiting to be discovered and harnessed.   So far we have been mostly using this great gift sub-consciously in the creation of desire type elementals.   But, when we use the Mind consciously with reason and love we can construct powerful thought type elementals.  These positive human in nature angels become allies and guardians. 

Of course every loving feeling, every noble intention and every heart-felt prayer automatically creates an angelic elemental.  However, when created deliberately with understanding these benevolent elementals gain real power. In creating strong benevolent elementals for those we love it is helpful to be consistent.   It is also beneficial to energize the angelic elemental repeatedly for some days.  It is best if you can do this practice at the same time each day and in the exact same location.  Choose someplace where you will not be disturbed.  Before beginning any spiritual practice or exercise it is important to be relaxed and calm.   This means calming our physical body, quieting our mind and silencing our emotions and desires.  Then it is good to do some simple breathing to fill your self with ample etheric vitality to empower this prayer.  (See the Basic Breathing Technique in the Esoteric Practices book – page 49) 

That must be prayer -
creating angelic elementals, constructive elementals, praying for the health of others, helping our fellow-men.
~DASKALOS

There are many forms this practice can take and it is advised that you refer to the Esoteric Practices book before attempting more advanced ones.    To create a simple angelic elemental for a loved one we will use the white light.  In a meditative state with eyes closes see your hands with fingers tips touching and palms apart.  (You can place your physical hands in this position too if you like.)  Breathe deeply and calmly.  See and feel these etheric hands fill with pure white light.  With every breath, the snow-white light becomes brighter and brighter.  Continue breathing deeply and comfortably. Now feel and see the white light forming into a ball of light between you palms.  You may feel a tingling sensation, warmth or slight pressure in your hands as the sphere becomes brighter and more substantial.   Breathe again and see the ball of light become brilliant as its light emanates through your fingers and hands.

Now see clearly the face of the loved one you want to help.  Send this ball of light to them with the sincere wish that it helps and protects them.  Visualize this sphere of luminous white light going to them wherever they are.  See it entering through their head to become a white egg shaped form encompassing their entire body in sparkling white light.  End with the affirmation: “Thy Will Be Done”.

The exercise can be done for about ten minutes each day for a few consecutive days using the law of repetition to empower it.  It is very important to keep in mind that our motivation and intent must be pure.  This creation is to be a humble prayer offered from one fellow human being to another.  Never are we allowed to impose our will on others or to manipulate and interfere with their free will.  Once you have finished the prayer, forget about it completely.  It must be allowed to do its work.  If you keep remembering it, you hold the elemental to you and do not release it to fulfill its purpose. 

God’s speed to all in the New Year, 

Daniel

Daskalos Exiting the Stoa

From a Stoa Lesson By Daskalos

Now you start with "What are elementals? What are thought forms. Can I see them?" At the beginning - no, but, you can feel them. They can be your torturers, these elementals. When they become fixed ideas as the psychologists call them, they really start crushing that personality. By not being seen doesn't mean that they don't have a life of their own - torturing. Only torturing? If they are good elementals, good thoughts, why should we see this side only?

Instead of creating what you call the devilish elementals, create angelic ones. Of course you can. Definitely you can! You must learn how to do it. When you dis-energize an evil one replace it with a good one. Don't leave its place empty.  This is an art which every Seeker after the Truth belonging to our Circles has to master.

Meditation means creating or revitalizing elementals. Our whole life is the creation of these elementals on the planet. The greatest art one should learn is to create good elementals, good thought-forms for himself or herself and for the others in his family or outsiders.    ~DASKALOS
