The first person in Western civilization to describe the four elements in writing was Empedocles (495 – 435 BC), known as a Greek philosopher but who lived in Agrigento, in modern-day Sicily. When Aristotle came along a century later, he speculated that there could be a fifth element called aether, but he got that wrong (just as Aristotle got many things wrong). Empedocles had said that matter was composed of four elements. Aether is not matter.

Everything that exits in this material world has a pre-existing counterpart in the non-material world.  Hence, I suggest that in the case of Earth, Water, Air and Fire, their pre-existing non-material forms are Aether, Spirit Energy, Vital Life Force and Divine Light. Modern science identifies Plasma as being a kind of fifth element of matter, because it does not quite fit in the other categories. Likewise, some metaphysicists speculate that Darkness may be considered a fifth essence of the non-material plane.

The important thing to know is that, here in our solar system (or Heliosphere), the Sun is the source of the four elements we find on our planet. Likewise, the “Sun-behind-the-sun” is the source of the non-material essences. And each of these components can be found within you, as a physical and spiritual being.

I believe that what is being sought by scientists now is not so much the “fifth element” as the “unified theory.” Likewise, spiritual seekers continue to quest for their own version of a “lost chord.” I suggest that missing element of unification is: Unconditional Love.

Spheres are central to your very existence and, in case this has not occurred to you before, we can look at some examples of their significance. Leonardo Da Vinci, who is accepted as having been ahead of his time with his inventions, and also widely regarded as having possessed special insights into ancient truths, purposefully wove one of his enigmatic messages into the Salvator Mundi with its non-refracting sphere.

From the stars, moon and planets of the macrocosm down to atoms, photons and cells, the predominant shape that occurs in the natural universe is the sphere. Our Earth, along with the other orb-like planets and moons of our solar system, exists inside a spherical bubble known as the Heliosphere. New Age teacher Drunvalo Melchizedek has correctly pointed out: “Every known form of life begins as a sphere […] The ovum is a perfectly round ball […] the sperm’s tail breaks off and … becomes a perfect sphere, which is the male pronucleus.” Leonardo Da Vinci, just like the ancient Greeks, held that the universe itself was spherical.

So, why did Leonardo depict the sphere of Salvator Mundi as he did (without refraction) and, if he gained secret knowledge, where did it come from? He has been claimed to have been a Rosicrucian and, more controversially, also appears on the now-disputed list of Grand Masters of the Priory of Sion from 1510 to1519. When he was still in his early twenties, he disappeared (or ‘went off the grid,’ if you like) for two years between 1476 and 1478. In one of his very few written personal diaries, he tells of finding a vast and mysterious cave that he was drawn to enter and spend some time inside. It is speculated that he had an encounter with someone, or something, in there that enlightened him.

I suggest that the globe held by Jesus in this painting represents both the aethereal sphere that surrounds the world, and a communications portal to the higher realms. The three white dots in a triangle are the key which opens the portal. (The X across the front of his body with a jewel embedded above it would have held significance for Leonardo as well). If he had incorporated refraction into the crystal/glass ball, it would have meant it was only reflecting what is in this lower mundane plane.

I have written a lot about spheres and orbs, for example – in my article on this website, The Way of the Golden Sphere. In that piece I quoted the words of Drunvalo Melchizedek: “Every known form of life begins as a sphere […] The ovum is a perfectly round ball […] the sperm’s tail breaks off and … becomes a perfect sphere, which is the male pronucleus.”

Two further interesting revelations about spheres have come to my attention recently.
The first was as I was reading the book Vibrational Healing by Dr Gary Buchanan (whom I had the pleasure of meeting last year) and he wrote the following about spheres: "Essential to this understanding is that sound actually propagates as spheres − not as lines, or flat waves, so to speak." So, the phonons of sound travel in spheres.

The second noteworthy point I came across was in the book The Secret Teachings of All Ages, by Manly P Hall. He relates ancient teachings that angels, archangels and other celestial creatures resemble small suns – that they are spherical and it would be impractical for them to be humanoid in shape. Elsewhere, he reminds us that H.P. Blavatsky stated that “Man is a little world – a microcosm inside the great universe.” Consider that humans, when dis-incarnate, might appear as spheres rather than in our present form.

The photos at top are just two of the many taken during my visit to Uluru in January 2018 where spheres appeared over the heads of attendees of the Cosmic Consciousness Conference.

During this time of “lockdown” caused by the Coronavirus, most people find themselves with more spare time for reading, while many are prompted to re-evaluate the purpose of their past pursuits and consider what they might do differently when the pandemic is over.

This is an opportune time to explore the teachings and system offered by Cosolargy International. You are invited to subscribe to the free, no-obligation monthly newsletter.

Those who do so by the 1st May 2020 are eligible to receive a complimentary GIFT OF LIGHT, which consists of some sample sungazing principles and techniques. Eight lectures from an 18-part series of lectures titled "Project X: Secrets of Immortality" have been chosen to give you a glimpse of Cosolargy’s practices.

With the GIFT OF LIGHT, you will receive an email each week for the next four weeks with links to two audio files, recorded by the founder of Cosolargy, Gene Savoy Sr., some 40 to 50 years ago, which introduce you to some of the basic concepts of the system. Each audio file is about ten minutes long and contains esoteric knowledge known to the ancients that will help support your practice of the solar spiritual techniques that are included in the talks. You can listen to them whenever you choose and practice the spiritual growth techniques they contain.

The first two audio files introduce a central theme in Cosolargy: Light carries information, which we call Information Factors (IF). These Information Factors are a source of energy, knowledge, and act as nutrients to enhance our physical, psychic, and spiritual natures.

Here at Solar Ancestor we are always interested in the phenomenon of spheres and orbs, especially when they approach the Sun. Some see them as space vehicles refueling from our star, but they could just as well be inter-dimensional intelligent plasma spheres.

And below is the You Tube video from Paranormal Crucible’s website, see HERE
As you can see in the short (1 min 50 sec) video, a huge planet-sized object flies into the frame before stopping and remains there for several minutes before departing to the right, it then parks again briefly at the edge of the frame before heading off into space. It is estimated to be about the size of Neptune.

After decades of reading and studying what learned people have to say about the quest for spiritual enlightenment, or Self-realization, I have concluded most are saying the same thing in different ways, or with different terminology.

Basically, when humankind underwent the great “fall” several millennia ago, we started incarnating into physical bodies and, as we did so, we divided the two main components of our non-material selves. We divided Consciousness and Life, according the Taoists. Or, to use other terms – following the same order as those two words, Consciousness and Life – we split our Spirit and Soul, our Head and Heart, our Human Mind from our Divine Essence. Thus, we fell from the Undivided Tao, or the Way, tasting the fruit of good and evil, learning the Duality, or Yin and Yang. And in the process our conscious sense of “I Am” got lodged in the brain – which is not where we want it to be when we die, because the brain dies too.

To reunite these two, and end the continual cycle of reincarnation, our Human Spirit or Consciousness must dive into our true Heart, the Soul, where Life dwells. This is not achieved by being clever. We need to lovingly restore the relationship between identity-self and soul-self. The way we bring our Light and Life together is through Love. Self-Love.

When the illumination of the Sun is received into the head through the eyes, (and, as we have noted before, the eye is the most Sun-like organ in the body), we consciously and lovingly circulate it into our Solar Heart, which is the non-material counterpart, or force centre, behind the physical heart. Yes, it is easier said than done, and it takes practice!

According to the Book The Secret of the Golden Flower (Translated by Richard Wilhelm with commentary by Carl Jung), each individual contains a central monad, which, at the moment of conception, splits into Life and Consciousness/Human Nature (which I call Soul and Spirit). To quote from the book:

“In the personal bodily existence of the individual they are represented by two other polarities, a p’o soul (or anima) and a hun soul (animus). All during the life of the individual these two are in conflict, each striving for mastery. At death they separate and go different ways. The anima sinks to earth as kuei, a ghost being. The animus rises and becomes shen, a spirit or god. Shen may in time return to the Tao.

“If the life energy flows downward, that is, without let or hindrance into the outer world, the anima is victorious over the animus; no spirit-body or Golden Flower is developed, and at death the ego is lost. If the life-energy is led through the ‘backward-flowing’ process, that is, conserved, and made to ‘rise’ instead of allowed to dissipate, the animus has been victorious, and the ego persists after death. It then becomes shen, a spirit or god. A man who holds to the way of conservation all through life may reach the stage of the Golden Flower, which then frees the ego from the conflict of opposites, and it again becomes part of the Tao, the undivided great one.”
 
The book explains that to initiate the process of generating our immortal Light Body and unifying the two within us, the Vital Breath must first “stir” and for this, Light is necessary. I believe we should use the Light of the Sun.

According to Eskimo people living in the Arctic, the Sun is no longer rising and setting where it is supposed to, and the day is longer than is used to be - they claim that the Earth has changed its position to the north. The Native Elders of the Arctic say changes in the Sun, the moon and the stars are affecting the weather. See the 4-minute video clip below.

Ancient Cuneiform Tablets Predict Solar Flares (CMEs)
A research team led by the University of Tsukuba combined observations from ancient cuneiform tablets that mention unusual red skies with radioisotope data to identify solar storms that likely occurred around 679 to 655 BC, prior to any previously datable events. This work may help modern astronomers predict future solar flares or coronal mass ejections that can damage satellite and terrestrial electronic devices.

Humans have been looking to the skies for as long as we have been around. Some of the observations made by ancient Assyrian and Babylonian astrologers more than two millennia ago survive in the form of cuneiform records. These rectangular clay tablets were messages from professional scholars to kings who had commissioned astronomical observations for the purpose of discerning omens–including comets, meteors, and planetary motions.

Now, a team led by the University of Tsukuba has matched three of these ancient tablets that mention an unusual red glow in the sky with the carbon-14 concentrations in tree rings and demonstrate how they are evidence of solar magnetic storms. These observations were made approximately 2,700 years ago in Babylon and the Assyrian city of Nineveh, both of which are mentioned contemporaneously in the Bible.
