Fire - its different aspects

01/14/2018

It was in a burning bush that God first appeared to Moses, and in most religions fire is the most powerful and revered divinity. But the fire celebrated in these religions and cosmologies is not the physical fire we know. This fire, which we kindle for the light or warmth of its flame, is only one aspect of universal fire. There are many kinds of fire: the fire that maintains life in the heart of man, the fire that slumbers at the base of the spine, the fire of the sun, the fire of hell, the fire concealed in minerals, metals, wood, water, air and so on. Fire in itself is neither luminous nor hot; it becomes so only under certain conditions, and this is why its origin remains a great mystery to us.
