I'll say it again. All ideology about a Supreme Being Creator, by any name, is based on the elemental nature powers. This is so because that's how it was in Africa and all ideology has roots in Africa, not just side shoots, but roots, no matter how far and wide the ideology has traveled. Even what is presented below is a snapshot re-introduction, a small portion of the picture that changed many times in Africa before it left Africa and then continued to change.
Seven Elemental Nature Powers
(AE1 6/16) 1. Water2. Air
3. Darkness
4. Lightness
5. Earth
6. Fire
7. Blood In terms of being recognized as nature powers, the order is not exact except for 1-2, 7. The order of these elementals are not important at the moment until we move deeper into understandings of them. These should be viewed as occurring more simultaneously than consecutively. (NG1 345-6/363-4, 483/501, 520/538)
Seven Souls Of Life
(AE1 6/16,68-8/78-9, 86/96, 122-3/132-3 ) After the elementals were recognized as powers, they were then recognized as life forces that possessed the soul of life. These nature powers were reckonized as containing the soul of life, thus they were interacted with reverently continuously. The process of understanding moved from the first elemental power to the seventh, with seven being last on each list. Humans recognized there was a Soul of Life in:1. Light (Fire), evidenced by stars, heat, moon
2. Air, evidenced by breath, wind
3. Water, evidenced by fish
4. Earth, evidenced by food and periodic renewal
5. Plants, evidenced by food and periodic renewal
6. Animals, evidenced by food and periodic renewal
7. Blood, evidenced by birth (AE1 124/134 ) Each of these three set of seven elemental nature powers (power, soul, evidence) are forms of each other. They are the sem-same thing in different forms, using different words, and that sometimes have different functions and are in different stages of the process of life and existence.
As you can see, nowhere in this discussion am I talking about any type of God in human form. Yet, all religions today, are based on Gods in human form, even though the originating basic basis of those religion is not based on Gods in a human form.In other words, life and existence has always been primarily based on that which is non-human in form. Eventually, the seven elemental nature powers were recognized to be both life-giving and life-taking, thus possessing the powers of life and death.
Not understanding this has been a fatal contextual flaw in our logic. So when we are reading about any religion or any spiritual practice that has existed from today all the way back to human origins, we must keep in mind, that the names being used are sources of confusion, that distract us from the real underlying meanings and messages, which is basically this: all supreme beings, at their root, represent the elemental nature powers that bring forth, change and sustain everything in the universe and are the fundamental drivers of all thinking and behavior of all creatures, everything in existence. When it comes to the elemental nature powers and their souls, who can escape them anywhere? They are all in your brain. They are the substance and the energy of all that is. Their principles and characteristics are the basis of everything. And this is why the more we understand the fundamentals of all else, the more we will understand self and know what we need to do and not do with the elemental nature powers in the form of our genetic potential which is a collection of natural resources inside us. Elemental nature power and their souls of life and their evidences: here they are everywhere.
According to Plutarch, "They do better who believe the legends told of Sut, Osiris, and Isis do not refer to either gods or men, but to certain great powers that were superhuman, but not as yet divine." (AE1 123/133 )
