4. [Thereon] out of the Light […] a Holy Word (Logos) descended on that Nature. And upwards to the height
from the Moist Nature leaped forth pure Fire; light was it, swift and active too.
The Air, too, being light, followed after the Fire; from out of the Earth−and−Water rising up to Fire so that it
seemed to hang therefrom.
But Earth−and−Water stayed so mingled with each other, that Earth from Water no one could discern. Yet
were they moved to hear by reason of the Spirit−Word (Logos) pervading them.

The Corpus Hermeticum

The quote above is from The Corpus Hermeticum, and although it wasn’t the text I was reading that day I saw the Good Shepard building, it’s the perfect intro for our Seal of Solomon.

I turn your attention to the sentence before the last in the Corpus Hermeticum. “But Earth-and-Water stayed so comingled with each other, that earth from water no one could discern.

I’ve also heard several young rappers sing the lyrics, “straight out the mud,” because they were proud of themselves for achieving this.

No one could discern the difference between earth and water. What does that mean, why is it so important, why is it something to be proud of?

Leo, Sagittarius, and Aries are fire signs. Fire is emotion.

Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra are air signs. Air is intellect.

A person with a lot of fire, literally and in their chart can be highly emotional. Emotions are good. They’re indicators about how we feel about certain things, but a person with too much fire (too emotional) can be forceful, impatient, erratic, and definitely not thinking before they take action. A fire imbalance, as we’ve just seen, can be brought into balance with air, it’s opposition. Air is intellect, but too much air can put the fire out. Just the right amount of air can keep the fire burning forever. So, within us, we bring our emotions into balance with intellect. That takes a lot of self-work, you knowing yourself, and you being honest with yourself. The goal is to have control over your emotions, and not letting your emotions control you.

Virgo, Capricorn, and Taurus are earth signs. Earth represents our senses.

Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are water signs. Water represents intuition.

Seeing, touching, smelling, tasting, and hearing are the senses. We judge the things around us by how we perceive them. We want the things we like, the things we love, and the things we find valuable. It looks good. It smells good. That’s pleasant sound. That feels good. That taste good. As we navigate our way through life, we’re more often led by the things that appeal to our sense. We want everything we perceive to be good, and herein lies the problem because not everything that sounds good, tastes good, looks good, feels good, or smells good is good for us.

When we can’t have what we sense to be good we get emotional. Even if it’s bad for us, we still get emotional. Some of us can be led astray by an imbalance of fire, which is often the case when it comes to violence and other crimes.

Intuition, which is represented by the water signs is feminine. We you hear about the sacred feminine being suppressed, they’re partially talking about women and partially talking about intuition. By suppressing the legacy of Mary Magdalene and the truth concerning her personal life and life with Jesus, they suppressed intuition in men. So, the men responsible for that only hurt themselves.

God is both male and female, and the goddess is both male and female. They’re both positive and negative. Suppressing the sacred feminine actually means that you’ve taken water out of the equation, and at this point, you all can see that water is absolutely necessary. Intuition is the only real way back to your source, higher self, or god head.

Intuition is the inner voice within you and only you that will lead you and guide you in the connection of heart and mind, and if Mind is the Father, then the heart is the Mother.

Earth and Water was so comingled that people couldn’t discern the difference means that people were unable to separate the senses from intuition. We were led astray by the things that appealed to our senses.

Those rappers who sing about coming straight out the mud are proud of the fact they were able to separate earth and water, and then bring the two into balance. Having intuition means having the ability to discern the difference between what feels good and what’s actually good for you. Turning down those things that seem good to our senses is probably the hardest thing to do, but look at what we’re sacrificing for them.

Look what you sacrifice for that nice ass. Look what you sacrifice for that big dick. Look what you sacrifice for that paycheck. Look what we sacrifice for comfort and convenience.

We sacrifice our intuition, our connection to our creator and source.

The Seal of Solomon, or the Star of David represents control over the elements.

The symbol above represents the perfect balance and inclusion of all four elements, and when you achieve that within yourself, your reward is the Key. The Key to life is Mastery over death. It gives you the power to turn the warden (Saturn) just enough to break out of form (out of body) so you can see what’s beyond him.

This is the final article that I’m going to write on this topic. It’s the end, but for you, it’s the beginning of your journey.

The perfect balance and inclusion of all the elements means that you’ve first balanced fire and air and earth and water. Then, you brought perfect positive (fire and air) and perfect negative (water and earth) together, which is represented by Solomon’s Seal.

When you achieve this, you’ll see the signs.
