How can I cultivate peace in the midst of chaotic moments?

This was stated by Brother David in a ‘word of the day’ last week. I will post it below and also add the corresponding [Angel] and [Archangels] beside the element within the quote.

Br David is pointing to a very important universal symbol, the “cross” used long before adopted by any religions. Simply put he is referring the four elements, earth, water, fire….. ( the fourth being Ether , some traditions say ‘air’, for what ever reason Br David did mention this one ) of creation.

“Only if we become calm as earth [Shamal] , fluid as water [Gabriel], and blazing as fire [Michael] will we able to rise to the task of peacemaking.

BR. DAVID STEINDL-RAST

We Essenes perceive the symbol of the cross in detail this way………..

Gradually we will make progress through incarnation in matter, on the cross of the four elements: Earth, Water, Fire and Ether. This is the way towards real life and redemption. This is the way to the real resurrection -living in a fully awakened, Self-Aware state. This is a kind of life that cannot be compared with the life most people are living now in the shadows of their illusions instead of the light. And this light will rise from within each of us. But unless you forsake your egoistic self-you should not expect your personality self to be resurrected as the Soul-Self in Self-Realization.
