Theory
The Elements:
The philosophy of Elements is, obviously, a human construct. It is
one way in which we humans have attempted to describe the workings of the
universe. But even though it is a human construct this does not negate the fact
that it describes a real thing. To my mind, it is a description that works well.
It gives me a tool by which I can work with the actual forces that it tries to
describe. Granted, it is imperfect and does not exactly match the reality of
things, but then again, an exact match would be impossible.
The forces that underlie the Elements do exist regardless of whether
or not we try to describe them and regardless of whether or not humans are
around to perceive them.
There are two very important things to keep in mind when working
with the Elements. First is that the Elements are not the same as the physical
phenomena whose names they share. For example, the Element Fire is not the
same as the physical phenomena of fire. The names of the Elements are derived
through the "law" of analogy. This means that the Element Fire possesses
many of the characteristics of physical fire, such as expansiveness,
heat, brightness, and the ability to transform what it touches.
All to often the student falls into the trap of drawing too close a relationship
between the Elements and their analogous physical phenomena. This
tends to obscure the deeper significance of the Elements and should, therefore,
be avoided.
Second in importance regarding the Elements is the fact that in our
physical realm, the Elements never act alone. All physical things are a combination
of the Elements. For example, the physical phenomena of fire is not
composed solely of the Fire Element. Instead, physical fire is composed of all
four Elements working together (plus the fifth -- Akasha). A physical thing
may show a predominance of one Element over the others, but it still contains
all four.
The Elements exist in their pristine, separate sense only in the most
rarified reaches of the astral and mental planes.
The Electric and the Magnetic Fluids:
Bardon does not write extensively about the Electric and Magnetic
Fluids in the Theory section of IIH. He does, however, speak of it in the ten
Steps and in his other books, especially KTQ and Q&A. But in no one spot
does he clearly and exhaustively define these terms.
Probably the first question that arises is what does he mean by
"Fluid"? By Fluid, Bardon indicates an energy or essence that manifests mo31
tion and handles in a manner similar to water. Both Fluids are dynamic
things. IIH teaches the student how to manipulate or wield these Fluids, form
them into whatever shape is desired and impregnate them with any corresponding
wish.
These two Fluids are the primal polarity and are effective in every
plane of existence. The Electric Fluid is the positive, expansive pole and the
Magnetic Fluid is the opposite negative, contractive pole. As with a physical
magnet, these poles cannot be separated -- they are manifest through the continuum
that unites them in their eternal embrace. Both forces are equal and
interdependent, and have been described in every culture in one way or another.
At the highest level, these poles are expressed through the two faces of
The One.
The Fluids are the root of the Elements Fire and Water. This is why,
in the course of IIH, the student looks within the Fire Element for the Electric
Fluid and within the Water Element for the Magnetic Fluid. It is in fact, difficult
for the student to at first differentiate between the primary Elements and
the Fluids. But there is a difference -- it's just difficult to explain.
Within the Fire Element, the Electric Fluid is found in the Fire's expansiveness,
heat and light. The Magnetic Fluid is found within the Water's
contractiveness, cold and darkness. The Magnetic Fluid gives form to the
Electric force and everywhere in our world, they act in unison. The Fluids are
the two primal forces and the Elements are their extensions or modifications.
Each of the Elements can be said to have a specific ElectroMagnetic
charge. The Fire Element is predominantly Electric and the Water, Magnetic.
The Air represents a balance of the two Fluids (the continuum which connects
these two poles) -- the perfect hermaphrodite, capable of accepting the influence
of either Fluid. The fourth pole of the quadrapolar magnet, Elemental
Earth, represents the combined action of these three ElectroMagnetic charges.
This is often difficult for the novice to understand. It requires careful
consideration to see how, at a philosophical level, the combination of parts
can sometimes equal more than the sum of its parts. In this case, the amplification
of effect occurs because the parts which combine are each dynamic
things. Their dynamism makes them interactive and together, they make
something new which does not exist at the level of their independent parts.
Thus the Elemental Earth contains not only the Electric and Magnetic balance
of Air, but also the raw polarities of Fire and Water. Together, they work in a
dynamic, rhythmic and cyclic manner. It is the combination and interaction of
these three dynamic parts that causes things to manifest solidity in each of the
three mediums or substances (Mental, Astral and Physical).
The serious work with the Fluids doesn't begin until the eighth Step
of IIH, so there is little point in listing too many correspondences for the Flu32
ids here. Between now and Step Eight, you'll have plenty of time to become
familiar with the Fluids on your own. In the mean time, here are a few notes
from Bardon's own comments as relayed by his direct students in the book
"Questions and Answers" --
MENTAL: "The Electric Fluid fills abstract
thoughts with pure Electric Fluid, warmth, expansion and dynamics. The
Magnetic Fluid fills them with pure Magnetic Fluid and the opposite attributes.
For example, the Electric Fluid expresses itself through its attributes in
willpower, while the Magnetic Fluid expresses itself in the antipole of the
will, that is, in manifested belief, an aspect of the productive universal
power."
ASTRAL: "Clairvoyance is an Electric ability of the
astral body; clairsentience and psychometry are Magnetic abilities."
PHYSICAL "If we are under the influence of the
Electric Fluid, then the Fire Element is more effective in us. In this case we
feel hot, or we are active to higher degrees, we work more diligently, and
therefore we are internally satiated with the Fire Element. Through the increased
influence of the Magnetic Fluid we perceive coldness; should the
Magnetic Fluid become satiated within us, elimination increases."
"On the surface of the human body, the ElectroMagnetic
Fluid is effective as radiating life-magnetism. The right side of the body
is (in the case of a right-handed person) the active or Electrical side, whereas
the left side of the body is passive or Magnetic. The opposite is the case with
a left-handed person.
"The Electric Fluid, through its expansion, causes radiating electrons on the
inside of every body , which on the other hand are attracted
by the Magnetic Fluid of the earth. The
Electric Fluid is located in the Inner of everything created, therefore also in
the center of the earth, while the Magnetic Fluid is effective on the surface of
the earth an on everything created. . . The Electric Fluid produces the acids
in all organic or inorganic bodies or substances from a chemical or alchemical
point of view, whereas the Magnetic Fluid is effective in an alkaline manner."
Needless to say (but I'll say it anyway), the Electric and Magnetic
Fluids are not the same thing as the physical phenomena of electricity and
magnetism. While they are analogously related, they are not the same. The
physical phenomena of electricity and magnetism are each primarily caused
by their corresponding Fluid but they are not purely one or the other Fluid --
they are each composed of the four Elements with a corresponding polarized
predominance of either Fire or Water.
It is impossible for me to describe what it feels like to accumulate
and project the Fluids. The only way to gain this insight is through direct experience,
the key to which is to take careful note, in your daily life, of the
qualities I described above and look for them, especially as you work with the
Elements.
