Everything in the universe holds multi layers of symbolic meaning that can inform and teach us how to live more abundant lives in this short lifespan. Every physical thing has a spiritual or ethereal significance. Flowers, for example, teach us that beauty is a transcendent quality of existence. They bloom in extravagant splendor for a very short time just for the joy of expressing 100%. Can we learn to do the same? What a world it would be if we could.
Can we find any life lessons in the nuclear disaster unfolding in Japan? What do the various components of a possible nuclear meltdown symbolize for us? Other than the apocalyptic doomsayers’ interpretation, there is a positive pearl of wisdom hidden in the symbolism of the situation. The deeper symbolic meaning of fire, water, and earth reveals a hidden lesson we can apply to prevent a global cataclysm; and instead, advance and grow as a world community.
In symbolic language fire represents heat, light, action, and male energy. It is primarily the element humanity has been favoring for the past 5,000 years. Water is fire’s polar opposite. It represents cool, dark, receptive, female energy. It has been primarily repressed for the past 5,000 years. Earth of course is a symbol of life itself in all its aspects as a unified whole of the masculine and feminine forces. Because we are made out of the same ‘stuff’ as earth, we are healthier when we are in balance with earth’s cycles, seasons and rhythms.
Everything in the universe is continually moving toward balance including our body, mind and spirit. We have been out of balance for a very long time because we have been living almost exclusively in a fire element and abusing the water and earth element. Endless wars, pollution air, sea and land, inhumane slaughter of animals and repression of women or the feminine aspect in men and women have brought the planet and humanity to the brink.
Symbolically speaking the nuclear threat of meltdown of overheated fuel rods and reactors (good ‘male’ words) tell us we are at the end of living with an unbalanced fire element. The cooling water element is needed in great abundance to balance the out of control fire element. If the cooling water doesn’t overcome the fiery overheated reactors, the end of many worlds may be the result.
Symbolically speaking, our world as a whole needs the feminine/water element to cool the overheated masculine/fire element before it heats to a point that it can’t be controlled. Over the past thirty plus years we have begun to address the need for the feminine attributes to have a seat at the table in order to bring balance. Men have been able to open up to their feminine aspects, and they have found great relief in being able to express their feelings. They don’t have to implode from overheating like a nuclear reactor without cooling water.
We need the balance of the water/feminine to maintain life. Water always flows to the lowest level. It doesn’t flow up hill. It is the opposite of fire, which seeks the highest level and devours everything in its path. The nuclear crisis is demonstrating what happens when fire and water get out of balance. If civilization continues to live primarily from the fire element it will consume itself. We must realize we are both masculine and feminine. We can adopt the symbolic lesson of this nuclear crisis and apply the water/feminine aspect to squelch the explosive fire/masculine of our personal and public lives.
In order for this change in perspective to occur the perception of the feminine needs to be redefined and elevated to be equal with the masculine. It has been demeaned and discounted. The feminine is not weak and impotent. It is incredibly strong, resilient, wise and measured. It is not impulsive or headstrong. It operates through cooperation, not control. It rests in quiet power, not gregarious loud control. It strives for unconditional love, which is the true power that gives life to all.
Neither the masculine nor the feminine should predominate. They need to be equally on board and working in tandem. It is not ‘either/or’. It is ‘both/and’. All of creation operates on this principle. Mankind has a choice to align with it or not. Hopefully we can choose wisely.

EARTH INSIDE OUT

Our living planet is demonstrating how it also lives its life inside out. Everything that is alive is continuously changing. Each of our trillions of cells changes every nano second. Mother Earth is no different. We tend to forget that part. If the normal stress and pressure build up and isn’t able to vent in small ways, earth makes a quantum shift to restore balance, which is what we’ve seen in the horrific earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
There is a way to view this and other major catastrophes in order to learn some valuable life lessons. It feels as though everything on earth as well as in earth is being turned inside out. And it is. It is a universal creation pattern of life, death and rebirth. It is occurring constantly. We just don’t see it on such an immense scale as we have in Japan.
Solar flares are increasing affecting the electro-magnetic field on a planetary level as well as on an individual level. All life is electro-magnetic and resonates to the vibrations of the earth as well as the solar system. Our position in the Milky Way Galaxy also affects the electro-magnetic/chemical balance of man and earth. If we live in such a way that we are oblivious to these realities we will feel victimized by earth’s changes, as well as our own individual physical changes. If, on the other hand, we recognize that our bodies and earth are constantly seeking balance of all systems, then we can work with those changes by discerning what areas need to be balanced.
We have earthquakes, physically and emotionally also. I’ve been known to have a couple Mt. Vesuvius volcano experiences as well. Stress builds and builds until the container of all that energy can’t hold it any longer and it lets go. In many instances our explosions cause devastation that can never be repaired, as in Japan. If the stress can be released incrementally over time in a controlled manner, then major disaster can be averted. But when it is continually suppressed and ignored, it festers into crisis.
Earth is demonstrating that powerful pressure held inside must be addressed and brought to the outside before it explodes into unmanageable chaos. We hold fiery anger and resentments within to the point of exploding. It isn’t always visible on the outside, but major adjustments are being made inside and show up as organ failure, cancer, arthritis, etc. Our biography becomes our biology.
The other lesson to be learned from Earth is that nothing can live unless something else dies. We stay alive by eating life. Without the life giving food from Earth’s body we wouldn’t exist. Everything is moving in cycles of life, death and rebirth. In reality nothing is actually dying, or ceasing to exist. Energy cannot die. It just changes form. So the food we eat dies to its current form to become reborn as living tissue and blood in our bodies. Plants give us oxygen so we can live, and we expel carbon dioxide so they can live. What is death to us is life to them.
Earth has demonstrated to us that it is a living planet with fiery magma inside that erupts to create continents for human, plant and animal life to inhabit. We know which parts of her surface are likely to shift in earthquakes or volcanoes so we can choose to avoid them. The process of life, death, rebirth isn’t going to change just because we want it to or think it should.
Unlike plant life human beings choose how and where to live. We fall into hubris by thinking because we are special these types of disasters won’t happen to us. Or we simply act like the ostrich and put our head in the sand. The wiser choice is to acknowledge the universal process going on inside Earth and ourselves so we can flow with it instead of against it.
Living inside out incrementally is best. We prevent major upheavals by transforming negative energy to positive energy as it rises up within us. It may seem dark and deadly, but it holds the stuff of life within it. The old must die to birth the new.
