Aríes og Þór

Sem stjórnendur loftþáttarins þjóna þessir tvíburalogar með tólf sólarhelgivöldum Hrútsins, Nautsins og Tvíburanna til að kenna mannkyninu að ná valdi á huglíkamanum og með helgivöldum Tvíburanna, Vogarinnar og Vatnsberans til að kenna hvernig ná má valdi á loftþættinum.

Ástkær Aríes og Þór stýra uppljómunarvirkninni sem kemur frá huga Krists, innblástri og blæstri, innöndun og útöndun heilags anda, hreinsunar loftþáttarins, andrúmsloftsins og hugræna beltisins.

Loftandarnir (loftdísirnar) eru náttúruvættir og frumþættir loftsins sem aðstoða Aríes og Þór við að stjórna vindunum fjórum, andrúmsloftinu og skýjafarinu. Þar sem allar náttúruvættir eru í raun eftirhermur, þá eru loftandarnir engin undantekning, og móta í skýjunum þær myndir sem þær skynja á efnislegum, geðrænum, hugrænum og ljósvakasviðum jarðarinnar. Þegar við sjáum myndir af englum í skýjunum vitum við að þeir eru í nánd, því loftdísirnar hafa séð þá og mótað skýin eftir mynd þeirra og líkingu. Á sama hátt eru skrítnar skepnur og óvættir, sem gnæfa sem dökk ský, eftirlíkingar loftandanna af óeiningu mannkynsins sem geisar í geðheimahafinu. Það æsir upp náttúruvættaríkið og kemur í veg fyrir að það starfi samkvæmt samstillingarlögmálinu. Þannig má lesa tákn tímans í athöfnum náttúrvættanna sem skrá trúfastlega fyrirmæli engla og manna sem kemur fram á yfirbragði náttúrunnar.

Mark L. Prophet hefur lýst loftöndunum á þennan hátt:

They’re beautiful. These are the type of fairies you see with the long golden hair and the rather thin, seraphic-type bodies, and they’re very curvaceous. They float through the air, and they’ll bend their whole body in different shapes. Sometimes the body is bent with the legs behind, trailing like a garment, and their arms are in graceful ballerina poses.

They have beautiful faces like the most beautiful women you can imagine, except that they are faces of purity. There’s nothing carnal or hard in their faces. The only exceptions are that certain sylphs take on the more human form and human attitudes when they are subjected to them.

Now, when the sylphs take on negative human attitudes and qualities of discord, they will desire to rid themselves of these by the use of centrifugal force. They will throw off the human vibration of hatred and anger by starting a whirling action in the air. They can whirl so fast that they can develop winds of a hundred and fifty miles an hour. That’s the power behind the hurricane.

Theosophist E. L. Gardner gives this vivid description of elementals, and sylphs in particular. He says:

The natural “body” used by elementals seems to be a pulsing globe of light. Streams of force radiating from this center build up floating figures, “wings” of radiating energy, and filmy shapes of vaguely human likeness. In the more evolved forms the heads and eyes are always clearly distinguishable; often the whole figure is there, with a “center” of light blazing at the heart or head.

A sylph of this type might materialize into a beautiful male or female form for work ... among plants, animals, or even human beings, but its natural body is ... iridescent, changing, pulsating ... but not limited to a fixed or definite shape.

The sylphs are bearers of the “prana of the Holy Spirit that is the very life breath of the soul.” They stand “with the Lord Maha Chohan as he breathes the breath of life into the newborn soul and as the threefold flame is rekindled once again upon the altar of the heart.” They are “the great transmitters of the currents of the Holy Spirit from heaven to earth” and they are “giant transformers, conductors of the currents of the mind of God unto the mind of man.” The sylphs wash and purify the atmosphere and aerate the mind and heart and every cell of life.

It is important for mankind to give heartfelt prayers of gratitude to the sylphs and to call for their protection.
