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.
