The Power of Four

Four Stages of Life, Four Directions, Four Elements and Four Spirits.

From the very beginning of time, all people, native to all lands, recognized the necessity to have everything balanced. To have this harmony in our own lives, we must understand the power from acklowledging four elements to balance all aspects of our lives. Why 4??        Balance & Harmony.    If we have the North and South, we must have the East and West. If we have Summer and Winter, we must have Spring and Fall. We have the elements - Air, Fire, Earth and Water.    We have our four stages of life - Newborn, youth, adulthood and elders, with a Great Spirit to help us through every phase of life.    Our main colors - Red, Yellow, Blue and White.    Four basic senses - smell, taste, sight and touch.    Our galaxy - Sun, Moon, Stars and the Planets.    All living things start as a seed, establish their roots, go through a growing stage then fulfill the cycle by blossoming to their highest potential, thereby completing the cycle, to start again. Why have I never heard of this before??        Two words sum it up - Too Busy.    The majority of us never take the time to reach out to the basic elements that have kept this world revolving since the beginning of time.    We are out of balance and certainly not in harmony with the world around us. We've lost touch with the basic principles of life, never take our quite time to ground ourselves and see the Power of Four that really controls our destiny.    We are two busy chasing the all mighty dollar, accumulating material items, new cars, houses, all the latest technological gadgets we can find, all of which WE CANNOT TAKE WITH US! And all of which takes us further away from connecting with the Power of Four. How do I Connect With The Power of Four?        Slow Down.    Stop and smell the roses, as they say.    Recognize that everything around you originates from Mother Earth and is part of the living cycle.    Analyze what element drew you to read these pages, and that will tell you the others that you are missing to be in harmony.    Learn how to be grounded and call upon the elements and "The Big Guy" to reconnect with Mother Earth.    You can do surface grounding, where you become aware of nature and how we affect it and it affects us. You can take it further and study upon the ancient traditions and learn where all the fairy tales and mythology originated and how they follow through to today's beliefs.    You can go as far, or as close as you desire. But, I am certain, once you have started on this journey, you will never go back. It is similar to walking with a huge weight on one side of your body you entire life, then one day someone shows you how to shift the heavy burden, and WOW! You can walk lighter, you can lift your eyes and see! You can greet people with a smile and are not ashamed of who you are or how you look. You'll see my friend, You Will See.
