The Mother / Mater is created from the four basic elements -- Fire, Air, Water and Earth. It is the lessons of these elements that we, as children of the Mother -- which means God´s children on planet Earth -- must master. We must experience and master the challenges that the four elements present to us.
Influences Of The Elements
A short resumè of the influences these four elements have on humanity are as follows : The Fire element teaches us about "Unconditional Love"; the Air element will teach us how to exist and behave with "Brotherly Love and Compassion"; the element of Water is to teach us "Self Control over our emotions"; and the Earth element will teach us "Service unto others in a spirit of goodwill".
The four elements are also connected to four layers of consciousness. These planes of consciousness belong to and function in our "mater cosmos". But we can achieve the necessary mastery over these elements by experiencing, acknowledging and expressing God (or goodness) through their challenges and qualities.
Four Planes of Consciousness
The four planes of consciousness are : Unconsciousness, Subconsciousness, Consciousness and our Higher Consciousness. All these levels of consciousness are "part and parcel" of the same package -- God Consciousness!! This God Consciousness begins to unfold within us as our spiritual development expands.
To achieve the freedom and advancement from Earth´s schooling, it is necessary for each soul to experience and master the various disciplines the elements of this planet will teach us. In this way we can grow and expand our consciousness further. And this is why we continue to incarnate here on planet Earth.
We must understand that God has given a portion of "Itself" into our material world. Just consider now the word "Mater--ial". Mater = Mother. Our world is the world of "Form" and thereby the term the Mater / Mother Cosmos. The Father aspect of God is Spirit, and is therefore known as the Spiritual Cosmos.
Our Teacher
It is quite natural that one would first identify with the Divine Mother´s aspect and Her principles. Before we do we won´t be able to understand the Father aspect of God. The Mother is our teacher, filled with compassion, intelligence and wisdom. We identify with Her in our hearts, where the Mother Flame (or the God Spark) burns constantly. In the heart chakra and base chakra (over tailbone) God has placed this Feminine Energy or part of Itself.
Having placed a portion of Itself in every human body, it should go without saying that we should respect our "temples", keeping a high standard of purity both within and around us. In this way we can radiate and manifest the Divine here on the Earth plane. With a close and conscious contact with the Divine Mother we will achieve the wisdom and enlightenment necessary to break our karmic wheel and "imprisonment" here on Earth and, by doing this, enabling us to continue our evolution through God´s eternal Cosmos.
The Mother´s Function
The Mother is the personification of the basic elements. She is the Holy Spirit itself that moves across and influences all life on our planet. This Divine Mother´s very essence are the waters of life, wisdom, love and peace.
Now the Mother will show Herself in many disguises. She is our teacher and examinator. She will appear in many forms and situations to test us, and yet to strengthen our souls through these tests. She does just this out of Her Cosmic Love to prepare us for our final initiation. This final initiation is our "at-onement" or union with the Light or God, known as the Sacred Marriage with the Cosmic Christ. This sacred union is the result of our achievement of Cosmic Consciousness, and that is the final victory over death and rebirth.
The Greatest Task
The Mother´s greatest task is to teach us not to become attached to earthly things or relationships. Not to become reliant upon life on this earth plane or third dimension under any circumstances whatsoever... and that includes even the effect of Earth´s four elements and their corresponding levels of consciousness.
The Mother would like to teach us how to achieve complete dominion over these basic elements with their corresponding challenges and "lower bodies". In this way we will be able to master life in the material world -- the world of form -- and thereby complete our schooling for the soul here on planet Earth. We will then be eligible to continue our soul´s evolution throughout God´s fantastic creation.
The following will illustrate how the four elements correspond with our four lower bodies which make up the aura.
Element: Fire -- Body: Etheric/Memory -- Lesson: Unconditional Love
Element: Air -- Body: Mental -- Lesson: Brotherhood / Co-operation
Element: Water -- Body: Astral -- Lesson: Selfcontrol over Emotions
Element: Earth -- Body: Physical -- Lesson: Service with a Goodwill
