Four Elements Of Akasha

Improved Essays
Akasha is the word we use to mean the Element of Spirit. The are five Elements used in magic, Air, Fire, Water, Earth and Spirit or Akasha which is the combination of the other four Elements. Without Akasha you could not have the other four Elements because Akasha or Spirit is the principal element in everything. Akasha is the source of all energy, energy that has not yet taken form or substance. Akasha is energy without form.

To me Akasha means the spirit or universal force which is the base material for all creation. From Akasha all things were and are formed. It connects all things, and is within all things. It is the fifth element used in magic. I don’t feel that you can truly work with and understand the other four Elements without

When working with the Elements or representing them in my workings I feel it’s important to keep Akasha in mind and give it the honor it’s due. I feel that by knowing and understanding this term I am given more in depth understanding of the other four Elements which is important in my practise. I feel that by knowing the term Akasha I am freed from any old associations I may have had with the term “Spirit” which may have been …show more content…
In fact through all of my reading I had not been introduced to this term or concept. Or if it was mentioned it was done so very briefly and without much substance. This makes me very sad because Akasha is such a beautiful term for such an amazing, mysterious, powerful force. A force that we are intimately interwoven with yet may not even acknowledge or be aware of. I feel it’s a very important term to know and that there is a lot of confusion or misunderstanding out there about it because it is not given the same coverage as the other Elements, if it is mentioned at all. Whether someone includes Akasha in their own practise or not I feel that they should be educated on the term. Akasha is a beautiful term meaning the fifth Element from which all other Elements originate from. It’s an important term to know and understand as I incorporate the Elements into my practice. It’s often misunderstood or confusing to many but once understood I feel it’s self-evident and important to honor. I don’t feel that Akasha can ever truly be fully known or understood but the mystery is beautiful part of what makes Akasha so powerful to me and keeps me wanting to continually learn and grow more in my

    Explaining this situation as epilepsy led American doctors to prescribe Lia with heavy medication, raised concerns from her parents due to their different conception of their child’s illness (161). Under the veil of Hmong culture, Lia Lee’s parents understood her epilepsy as evidence of “soul loss,” which further implies possible benefits for a Hmong community in question if Lia should reach the coveted position of a shaman. Her parents’ understanding of her pain and suffering in a positive manner reflects upon their belief in a larger, spiritual order in which an individual’s body cannot be separated her culture. Therefore, seeking spiritual guidance in the form of “herbal remedies and services of a Hmong shaman” heavily reiterates the underlying connection between that of Lia’s condition and the spiritual beliefs that exist within Hmong culture (161). Regardless of this specific cultural and spiritual knowledge, the biomedical approach, one that the western doctors forced upon Lia despite existing language barriers, forsakes the potential to better understand how these aspects of clinical encounters influence individual cases and how to better provide care for the suffering…

    Judaism and Zoroastrianism are similar in many ways, but have important key differences. Judaism sees their god as a combination of divine mercy and divine justice, while Zoroastrianism views their god to have a power that is a combination of 6 celestial beings. These beings are called “Amesha Spenta". Nigosian stated, “Ahura Mazda's spiritual powers (menog) consist of a group of six celestial beings (sometimes thought of as archangels), called "Amesha Spenta" (or" Amahraspand," meaning "Holy Immortal" or "Bountiful Immortal"), who stand second in rank to Ahura Mazda and who, with Ahura Mazda at their head, form a heptad.” Basically Zoroastrianism acknowledges the belief in other spiritual beings only if they considered as like a second part to their mighty God, almost like they are his helpers.…

    Good God And Evil Essay

    • 2059 Words
    • 9 Pages

    INTRODUCT ION The question of the existence of a good God and evil is by far the most important problem for philosophical, religious, and moral consideration. These two contradicting arguments have been postulated by many philosophers like Richard Dawkins, William Rowe…etc. Though the intrinsic presence of suffering is the most obvious feature that determines the character of the existence or non-existence of God, it is an empirical fact, and the truth or falsity of these facts can only be established by observations and experiments relating to the real world. It would seem that the best arguments against the nonexistence of God is based on the logical argument of evil in the world and the attributes of an all- powerful, all knowing and all good God.…

    A Human Experience Analysis

    Part of your most recent plan was to be here now, you chose this human existence that you are currently experiencing, you pre- planned every detail of your life in order to gain the maximum learning and adventure, and you choose to exit when you have completed all the experiences you planned for yourself. The world away from this world (the universe) is not separate from us, it is not some far away mystery; it is a logical, functioning, populated, progressive, divine place! Much like here on earth (without all the stuff), except here on earth we have temporarily forgotten the divine and infinite bits of ourselves! If I can be a bit honest here, as humans we have become self-obsessed, self-absorbed and rather blinded by our own self-importance.…

    The word ‘Moksha’ is derived from ‘moksh’ which can mean emancipation or liberation etc. Sometimes it might also refer to salvation but salvation may not do justice to the word since it has a kind of Christian connotation to it rather than a Hinduism one. But it is frequently used to translate the word moksh. So instead of it meaning only freedom from sin, it includes freedom from the human life itself. In soteriological terms, moksha means freedom from samsara, the cycle of birth and death.…
