Beschreibung

After her first book, The Initiatory Path to Cosmic Heart, Debora Colagreco surprises us again with this book in which, through a dreamlike journey experienced by the same author, we are in a dream within a dream until reaching  the real world (if it really is). In this work, Colagreco interacts, through imaginary dialogues with great minds such as Pythagoras, Einstein, Prometheus, Jung, Steiner etc., together with people close to her that are no longer alive. The real characters are the seven Archetypal Elements, which send important messages on what the human being needs in order to elevate its conscience. From Quantum Physics to Shamanism, from Philosophy to Psychology, the topics leave the reader with a great lesson that connect to his heart.The book contains evocative images. You can accompany reading by listening to 22 unreleased music themes composed by Fabrice Quagliotti, Marcelo Garcia, Edgar Cavallera and Andrea Pagani. Voice, Graciela Mendoza. The CD or individual tracks can be bought on Amazon, Spotify, iTunes, Google play.Debora Colagreco was born in Rome in August 1963. Graduated in Foreign Languages and Literatures at the LUMSA University in Rome. As a teenager, she studied music (guitar) and shows great love for art, nature and spirituality. She increases the study of philosophy, psychology, psychophysiology, music therapy, theology and metaphysics. She speaks and writes perfectly four languages.For business, she travels around the world. She alternates her life between Rome and Paris until, in 2008, she moves to Uruguay and, in 2011, she founds the publishing house Zadkiel.In the year 2017, together with her cousin, Francesca Romana Pistoia (journalist and writer), they decided to establish the Foundation Zadkiel Onlus.She currently lives in Rome and continues to travel around the world.

In memory of my dear cousins:

Carlo, Stefano and Marco

God’s thinking is love, forever manifested in Nature

through the seven elements whispering to man who is,

and will forever be, part of Him.

Seven is the expression of the mediation

between human and divinity…

PREFACE

Fons et Origo

(Source and Origin)

I read this book for the first time in only one sitting.

Afterwards, I read it at greater leisure, calm, detachment, searching for a common thread, a key to the reading, and I found a word: “amalgamation”

Yes, I believe that the keyword that can help and guide us in our reading, or more specifically, that can help us read between the lines of The Seven Elements and Man, is “amalgamation” (or “fusion”).

Its literary genre is both essay and storytelling.

An essay which features a reflection about philosophy and science, the analysis of many theories – the most ancient and the most modern – by connecting them, comparing them, collating them. It could be said that it is an essay on theoretical or scientific philosophy which suggests a personal and unique concept of life, the World and our place in it. Much like “Weltanschauung” (view of the world) in its most profound and philosophical meaning, but also in the most literal sense of the word intuition, vision of existence and its purpose, precisely within the “content” of the book.

It’s a story about a trip, both inner and towards the furthest corner of the cosmos, where the author narrates many encounters and finds herself. She talks about mythical places, memories and affections.

Simultaneously it’s a vision, an anchored dream which ends in reality, in our days.

At the end of the reading, this book with its simple wording and direct style, will undoubtedly wake in each reader – depending on his/her personality – strong although different feelings, sensations and emotions.

Nonetheless, in “Debora's world” we will most likely feel closer to each other, in fact, we are indeed all closer to each other.

Thanks, Debora.

PROLOGUE

Videmus nunc per speculum et in aenigmate

(Now we see puzzling reflection in a mirror)

In nature, the cyclical structure of the Infinite, the myth of the “eternal return”, is the constant movement of the Union of two Energy forces: positive and negative, or rather heavy energy and light energy. Between them, a constant interaction, always in balance, and none is more important than the other. The seven elements – Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Sound, Light and Thought – are also manifestations of this dual aspect of Energy, and each one follows its own cyclical transformation. Respectively, they represent the universal principles of gravity, polarity, combustion, balance, vibration, luminescence, and knowledge. When the two forces reach their most intense level in such elements, they begin to weaken, or to say it using a quantum term, to decay, just as things in Nature, once they harvest, they begin to dissipate and transmute themselves.

Human kind follows the same rhythms of Nature, given that it is born with an inhalation and dies with an exhalation; they follow the same patterns since every energetic meridian and every body organ corresponds to one of the seven elements of Nature. For example, the skin, our largest sensory organ, and the first formed in embryo stage, is affected by emotions. Just as emotions are directly associated with the human back, which cannot be isolated from the kidneys, nor the kidneys from will power and ambition. Will power and ambition, in turn, cannot be isolated from the spleen, nor the spleen from sexual serenity.

What does all this mean?

We are a micro-cosmos of the Universe. Our vital functions correspond to a cosmic constant and the difference is merely a matter of scale. The upper part of our body lives and functions in harmony with the movement of Earth around the Sun. The lower part of our body is related with the rotation movement of the Earth's axis around the elliptic. But there are more unexpected discoveries: follow this. Just as the piano has many octaves above the 0 octave, so does the human body's energetic field (aura). Just as the light is a wave and corpuscle, so are we. Doesn't this lead us to think that we can be everywhere in the Universe? Of course! Because we are its minuscule and perfect duplicate. The physical universe is only an aspect of the real Universe.

But, what is reality?

No one has yet provided a real answer to this question. Our reality is fictitious, completely relative and partial. If by “real” we mean all we perceive with our five senses, then reality is nothing more than an electrical signal interpreted by the brain. Stemming from our sensory experience, we could conclude that we are an advanced species. Nonetheless, we have very limited knowledge of the world around us. It is enough to realize that we lack in capacity, which in turn many animals do posses, in order to perceive infrared light or ultrasonic sounds. What else exists beyond our senses? If we know how to develop the potential of higher realms of energy, the radiation of our mind could go beyond the limits of our physical body, both in terms of time and space.

But, what are those higher realms of energy?

The new science calls it Weak force. It's a new concept which, in Philosophy today, we could define as idealist, pure and infinite, non manifested conscience, multidimensional, flowing in thought and descending into matter. In order to better understand, we can start with the theosophical concept of monads' emissions, which, from my point of view, are burning rays of solar divinity (of which our essence is part of) that descend over all spheres of cosmic life consciousness and reach their physical level. This leads us to the conclusion that all we experience is a consequence of an invisible part of ourselves. Stability (Earth), emotion (Water), intention (Fire), desire to love (Air), coherence (Sound), decision making (Light), imagination (Thought), they all stem from our soul not our brain, which is only the organizer of all of them.

Official science tells us that atoms are created from the stars and that stars are nearly extinct; that the atom is the smallest amount of matter found in a substance and remains intact in time. If indeed we are made of atoms, it means that a part of us will never die, thus a fragment of the people we loved so much, now gone, still exists and will exist forever. Death is a passage which essentially renews. Only when we realize that we are returning to the Origin and that we can never detach from God, then we will understand why we have harnessed the impression that time flows always forward, in a lineal way, towards a future which, in fact, does not exist. Only then we can understand that we live in a no-time, because the Universe is already within us. The Wave of Life, the cyclic nature of immutable events, has its origin in the One and the universe chimes from octave to octave.

In this book, through an oniric trip full of imaginary dialogues with sublime minds, emerge reflections about the Universe, Nature and Man, where the language of the seven elements is symbolic. In order to learn to identify and reflect about them means growing inwardly. The goal is to go deeper and to connect with our inner self.

In the world we live in, love seems to be disappearing. Trapped, we end up ignoring Nature’s intelligence and ourselves. The space in the sky which separates us from the Sun. The matter which separated us from Spirit. When we will be able to break our bonds and heal our unconsciousness, the real world will become known. As Saint Paul wrote in Corinthians 13:12, in the material world we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror.

Alchemy is an essential nuclear transmutation for anyone wishing to be reborn with a new conscience.

From the One, God, emerge the six dimensions

and the six phases of Time. Therein the secret of the number Seven.

Clemente de Alejandría (150 d.c.)

It is starting with this vision that we will take together

our first steps in the pages of this book.

“LOVE WHICH MOVES THE SUN AND THE REST OF THE STARS”

Divine Comedy – Paradise XXXIII, 145 – Dante Alighieri

Reverie is not a mind vacuum.

It is rather the gift of an hour which knows the plenitude of the soul.

Gaston Bachelard

It’s night. A Friday of March. Everyone is sleeping in the house. I close the curtains in the living room and peek towards my dogs sleeping peacefully in their kennel under the moonlight. A few drops of rain deepen the green of the grass. I turn off the garden lights. I drink my warm cup of milk and, after kissing my daughter’s forehead, I turn towards my bedroom. My husband is asleep. The sheets wrap his body as a cocoon while he lays in fetal position. I think: “He was a child once.” I lay down in the bed, but can’t sleep. I feel the inspiration of writing a new book. My mind, distracted, gets lost between the ideas that slowly descend upon my heart. I can feel its beating. It makes me think about the meaning of life and brings to mind the thought of you, my beloved cousin. With eyes half closed, I start to remember and mentally speak to you.

***

The relentless sound of Skype. It’s your sister trying to communicate with me from Italy. I answer the call and receive the news that you have fallen into a coma, that you are in a hospital bed, and my heart drowns in pain. The Force of Love, that energy which erupts and transmutes, begins to heat up my hands. In the distance I touch your chest and reach your stroke ridden heart. During a sport’s training activity, your Being decided to sever forever its relationship with the perceptible World.

Later that night you come to me in a dream. You look beautiful, surrounded by that clear light which I already know. You smile at me. Your gaze talks to me. You are happy. You are in the Truth you so much longed for, through your mathematical calculations and equations.

My lips hint a smile remembering the Physics lessons at the Engineering Department at the University of Rome. You were explaining me how, for you, the study of real Physics was the study of vibrations. A science which deems reality as made of Waves and Atoms, electromagnetic fields which generate sound; each different sound generates a different dimensional reality, with a longer or shorter wavelength.

With your explanation I grasp the concept that the different wavelengths are what create the differences in the diverse dimensional levels. As you ascend in level, the wavelength shortens and energy increases. However, as you descend, exactly the opposite happens, until you reach the level of existence where I still am.

Yes, Carlo, you are in Truth. You have reached the level where all space envelops you. You are there and here at the same time. Now you can listen and distinguish the space in the sky, the compound of its energy and the concept of time here on Earth; where localized events give us the collective illusion of the passing of time and movement in space. But for you now it’s clear: All is already in All. All is already alive in eternity, therefore, death is not death.

Pure Energy, you vibrate in the Universe’s Harmony. You can feel the Love that moves the universe, that invisible and immanent Energy. The Love that moves the heart of stars and stirs the heart of men. In order to perceive it you must feel the union with all, feel the Love without boundaries and know that we are immortal.

From your dimension you can see, unfortunately, the huge chaos Earth is. The corruption, the deceit fed by all the systems which paralyze all individual dreams. We live in a manipulated world, an illusion. We live in fear.

Dear cousin, you taught me to drive when I was only 14 years old. Now, drive me in finding the best way to structure this book. Yes, you, be my guide!

Carlo, I love you.

I realize that also my body is in fetal position. Outside, the rain has increased. While falling on our rooftop it sounds like music. My half opened lips suggest a smile and, I immediately fall deeply asleep.

All progress, in experience and knowledge,

means one more step in the development of our world vision.

Changing the image man creates of the world,

thinking men also change themselves.

Carl Gustav Jung

The energetic triad is associated with the three elements and its corresponding perceptive faculties:

Mind, Light, Sound

(in Alchemy they are known as the three creative principles of existence).
