Chapter 4 THE MAGICAL FORCE OF THE ELEMENTS

The study of atomic and deva life reveals their central role in the practice of Organized Magic, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all forms of life and the spiritual essence within every atom. This understanding forms the foundation for magical work and the redemption of matter.

  1. Atoms as Spiritual Entities:
    • Atoms are not merely physical units but intelligent lifeforms with consciousness, geometric structure, and a spiritual essence.
    • They are supported by deva forces or elemental builders, which construct the forms and molecular structures that manifest the phenomenal world.
  2. Devas and Elemental Builders:
    • Devas and elemental forces operate at all levels of the Universe, from the physical to the mental planes, constructing and maintaining forms for all lives and consciousnesses.
    • These entities are integral to the magical process, responding to the Magician’s will and facilitating the creation of forms.
  3. Redemption of Matter:
    • The goal of planetary organized Magic is the redemption of matter, achieved by liberating the spiritual essence within atomic and molecular structures.
    • This process mirrors the initiation of planetary and solar Logoi, where spiritual light is introduced into material substance, resulting in its purification and irradiation.
  4. Initiation and Magical Work:
    • Initiation is essential for magical work, as it purifies the Magician’s expressive bodies and aligns them with higher spiritual planes.
    • Each initiation grants the Magician greater control over deva forces and elemental lives, enabling them to perform increasingly advanced magical operations.
  5. The Role of the Elements:
    • The elements (earth, water, fire, air, and ether) are deva entities with specific functions in planetary evolution. They are vital to the construction of forms and the expression of consciousness.
    • The Magician works with these elemental forces, invoking their cooperation through mantras, clairvoyance, and telepathic control.
  6. The Spiritual Triad of Atoms:
    • Just as humans have a spiritual triad (Spirit, Soul, and Body), atoms are believed to possess a similar structure, with a monadic essence that grants them life and intelligence.
    • This analogy underscores the unity of all life and the presence of divine intelligence at every level of existence.
  7. The Magician’s Role:
    • A true Magician must possess psychic faculties (clairvoyance, clairaudience, and telepathy) to perceive and direct deva forces in the invisible worlds.
    • Through these abilities, the Magician creates “environmental effects,” shaping the material and spiritual conditions necessary for evolution.
  8. The Magical Force of the Elements:
    • The “magical force of the elements” refers to the responsive capacity of deva hosts to the Magician’s will, enabling the integration and projection of consciousness through material forms.
    • This force is essential for the continuation of human evolution and the manifestation of all life within Nature.

In summary, Organized Magic is deeply rooted in the understanding of atomic and deva life as spiritual entities. Through initiation, purification, and mastery of the elements, the Magician becomes a co-creator in the divine process of redeeming matter and advancing planetary evolution.
