The Fire of the heart.

Part I

Once upon a time in a universe just like ours...

I AM Fire!

These were the first true words the fire being really understood.
It was more of a declaration of identity and with it came the most exquisite feeling of love and joy. It was good to Be Fire! Very good indeed.

Although this was a major event in the Fire Being's short life he soon accepted it as part of who he was and got on with life. There was much work to be done and even more play to be had and so much joy to express.
But time didn't bother Tinna - in fact he knew nothing about time or space or universes or stars. One thing he really did know about though was Fire. And energy. Oh yes this was who he was, literally speaking.  Fire was his life. And not just physical fire in the density of the physical realm, but etheric fire, mental fire, emotional fire.
Each fire an extraordinary expression of intense energy. And he loved them all with a passion. Entering a flame was like becoming one with all of life - it filled his being and barely left room for anything else.

And such were the early days of Tinna's existence.
Joy was unending and playing and working with his fellow fire beings was a daily thrill. Though he didn' realise it at the time, he was growing each day with each new immersion in the knowledge of fire and energy and how if flowed and worked and created anew all it touched. His enthusiasm was unbounded and he filled each day with new things and new experiences letting the vastness of Being Fire flow thru him unhindered, unbridled in its flow  - he becoming More thru the Fire and the Fire becoming More thru him.

And then one day he noticed that he noticed things. he noticed things about himself and his fellow fire beings. he didn't have a word for it just yet, but what he was being introduced to was awareness. He was becoming aware of his life, of who he really was and the grander scheme of all life.
Patterns apepared to him as he went about his joyful day and he absorbed them and let them teach him. he flowed in and thru these new ideas and they shaped and moulded his being. Now when he spoke in his being those words. "I AM Fire" he understood more. More he became and much more was before him.

One day as he helped his fellow fire beings organise a new mandala of energy in a vast field of light, he felt a presence like nothing he had come across before. it was powerful yet unsophisticated. It had a strong sense of identity and even felt intimidating in its emanations. the sense suddenly faded as soon as it had come and he was left intrigued yet a little disturbed. This was so beyond his understanding that he knew he needed help to absorb this new energy thoughtform.

the angel deva was busy.

There was physical fire under way in a vast forest on the west coast of the middle continent and even though Tinna knew what a forest fire was, he was too young to participate in helping control and manage these furious energies.
So he bided his time and when the intensity fo the light surrounding the Deva diminished somewhat he sent a gentle call to him for help.
The Deva had observed Tinna and could see the knot of energy in his being and knew that Tinna was nearing a watershed of his existence. He drew Tinna into his being and absorbed his vibrations of energy and let the knot untie itself in his energy field.
"So, my young friend, waht have you been up to?"
"Oh grat Deva, I felt this strange energy and I don't know how to absorb it or manage it or create with it, or anything!"
"Young Tinna, you have great vision in your young being and you have drawn yourself up into a vibration where you can see something beyond our kingdom of fire. Something your young mind cannot fathom just yet. Most fire beings will throw off this vibration and carry on, unable to absorb it, but you and your intense curiousity and fiery heart want to grasp it and take it into your self.
Well, so be it, I can see that you are ready to move on to something higher and to a greater level of love and service in the fire kingdom. it is time I introduce you to the Great Deva of the Mountain. Tell no-one of this visit and I will come to you when the time is right."
Tinna gasped and barely contained the fireworks display of energy ricocheting thru his aura. Of course he had heard of the Great Deva and knew of his depth of love and wisdom and how he guided the Devas each day to new and greater heights of creation and renewal, the hallmarks of Deva achievement.
The Deva withdrew from Tinna's firework display and let him absorb this new level of energy which had suddenly opened itself to him. To help him deal with this new infusion, Tinna created a mighty spiral of light like a Catherine wheel of rainbow colours and many colours never seen in a rainbow or elsewhere in the physical realm. After many hours of joy expressing himself he dove deep into the phsyical earth and into the great furnaces of fire therein and steeped himself in the great meditative energies of ancient fire, fire that had been blazing for millions of years and had fed an entire planet for aeons.This was one of his favourite places to be. And truly he could really Be here. It was his spiritual home, the place where he had been created thru the heart of a Angel. There was such love for his being here and he reciprocated with his own love and gratitude for the gift of Being.

After some cycles of activity, for that was how he measured progression he resumed his daily chores and joys and felt a deep and abiding peace. As he helped his fellow fire beings complete the  great mandala of coalescing energy in the deepest part of the second great ocean, he sent love and gratitude to all around him, to the playful undines who wandered by to see the fire beings at work and play, to the immense water beings who only lived at this depth and carried great reservoirs of energy to feed the inhabitants of the vast ocean. Amongst the rocks the   cute gnomes who tended them gazed at the light that the mandala brought and as they were wont to do at the drop of a hat, started dancing and making music on the ocean floor. A great sight and as he released his fire and love to them he could feel the growth and expansion of their beings as they absorbed his energy. The energy was like a injection of fire and all that came with it, giving each being a renewed sense of joy and a strengthening of their identity.
It was therefore quite unexpected then that he received the call to the Mountain in the midst of this outpouring and he almost lost his place in the mandala. He passed this energy field position over to the nearest fire being and made his excuses and left.
