Mental, Air
Thinking, Speaking & Seeing the creation, these are the aspects of air element and they relate to the upper chakra system of the throat, third eye and crown. It is these abilities that we transform inspiration/desire and emotional strength into something definitive. It’s through speaking, seeing, and thinking something that we give it form and shape the details into it. At this point it ceases to be Magik and moves into the realm of science. Once something becomes so clear you can taste it, it has stopped being imaginary and is moving into the realm of physicality.
People often describe a goal just out of reach by saying they could almost taste it. Many years ago I was switching jobs and there was a snafu in my plans. I had already given my notice at my old company and there was no way I was going to take it back. I was at the end of my ability to stay on at the previous company. One of the Major department heads I worked for was verbally abusive. I was happy to have given notice and by doing so had reclaimed my strength that I didn’t have to work in a hostile environment. I thought it had shown great strength on my part and I was happy with my progress. So I gave 30 days notice and left.
However the job I had tentatively lined up offered me more hours and less pay so I politely told them I would have to think it over. It was so close I could taste it, I feel and see myself working there. I didn’t understand it. I knew that I couldn’t work harder for less… Luckily in the midst of all this I was at a summer rental on fire island had come back into the city just for the interview. It was disappointing but I grabbed the next train out to Saville for the ferry to the island and left the worry behind me. Sometimes a little releasing works wonders.
Two days later I get back from the beach to a message on my mobile phone to call a different guy at the company. He was one of my original interviewers and had urged them to hire me. I had a great new offer and I wouldn’t have to work under the guy who low-balled me on salary. So in the end not only did I get the job but also I avoided another abusive boss. Life was good.
I had worked very hard towards my knowledge and abilities in that career field but also when I closed my eyes I could easily see myself working in that office. My gut told me to not accept the offer even though it was in conflict of what I so easily saw happening. Most people, me included, would think that my vision and gut where in conflict. But in fact they were working in harmony. By trusting my gut I got a cooler boss and more money, and the vision came to fruition. Life was good!
When you have energy and passion for something, and you feel good about it. Then it is time to work on creating the vision of it. Think of your thoughts, visions, words, and the abilities to smell and taste success as your chisels for the forming and shaping the energy into a living sculpture. That’s what you’re doing; you’re giving shape to energy.
If you think this shape will be complicated and hard then be prepared for a struggle but if you start seeing and speaking forth that the struggle is avoided and all falls into place easily and in peace. Then things will start to fall into place with ease and grace. Often when we desire something and work it up through our emotional body and then start giving it living breathing details, we will run into snags. This is normal; it’s part of any creative process. I will use the car scenario on how I worked backwards and ended up with a very cool Jeep 4x4.
I was living in Vegas and only had a motorcycle for transportation. I loved my motorcycle but keep seeing in meditation that I was going to get in an accident with it. So it was time to move onto a cage (car). I also had a large house and two dogs, I needed 4 wheels. So I did some meditation on the subject and I kept seeing an old red Jeep Cherokee or a bronco sort of vehicle, but this one had mag wheels. I had a lot of misgivings about get a car but needed to do so out of necessity so I started dialogging with myself to remove my emotional blocks. After all I had said some prayers for help getting a vehicle, I now needed to do my part of the work. So I talked to myself how much fun it would be able to bring big stuff home from home depot and I could take the dogs for their shots with out having to borrow a friends car. I started feeling much better about getting a car within days.
I had very little money to purchase anything, so I thought I wouldn’t have success at getting a vehicle. I let it go.
A few days later I get a call from a really good friend. He says guess what. I just bought a red ‘77’ Jeep Cherokee. I got cold chills. “does it have mag wheels?” I asked. Long pause… yeah how did you know? Oh I’ve been seeing it in mediation. I could hear the excitement in his voice and I was happy for him. His happiness tends to be contagious anyway. He explained that he didn’t need it but had wanted to restore it. It ran great but looked beat up. Since he didn’t need another vehicle he was wondering if I wanted to drive it. He said every time he looked at it he thought of me and if I wanted it all I had to do was to help him drive it from Arizona into Palm Desert then I could drive it back to Vegas.
I drove it for a while and then bought it off my friend after I selling my motorcycle. He wanted to restore the Jeep. He kept seeing it restored, every time he looked at it, but he didn’t really need another project. So he gladly sold it to me. I too kept seeing it restored as well, but I didn’t have the time, energy or resources to do so. Eventually I sold the Jeep to a clients husband. The funny thing is she first saw it in the parking lot of my old office not know it was mine, and when she saw it, she immediately said, “there’s my husband’s truck.”
Her husband loves old Jeeps and really enjoys restoring them. Guess what the vision of the Jeep being restored is now taking place.
In the case of my Jeep I had the desire and then used vision to see it and start forming it but had to go back and clear out my emotional blocks to allow the vehicle to come in. When all three became aligned it found me. Like a piece of metal being drawn to a magnet.
“Speaking your truth and making it so!” This is the other part of air that often gets lost in the process. Many people think because they aren’t good at visualization that they can’t create, although visualization is highly important it isn’t the only way.
There are two wonderful books you may wish to read for further information on shaping your creations with words. The first is titled your ‘Word Is Your Wand’ and the second is ‘What You Say To Yourself, self-talk’ (second title look up?). Modern man thinks creating through talk is new, but man has been verbalizing his creative force ever since s/he could grunt.
This or something better NOW comes to me is usually said during master mind sessions along with so shall it be. They are both great aspects of affirmation and getting the particulars. But the other great aspect of master minding the person leading the visualization speaks forth the visual in descriptive detail. Allowing for others in the group to better see the goal. Many people who can’t really hold a complex picture in their heads just allow themselves to feel it and to know it while it is being described.
What about just speaking forth things into creation and/or completion with the word alone? It happens all the time. I had 4 shaggy conifers that needed to be taken down so I could plant Oleanders in their place. It was going to be a messy job and I didn’t want to do it myself. Every time I pulled up into my drive I would look over and just be disappointed with the appearance of that side of the yard. Finally one day I said, “The divine solution now comes to this problem!” as I pointed at the 4 offending conifers. Two hours later a guy comes knocking on my door to ask if he can take the 4 offending trees down. Now that was quick!
