End Monologue: “The Batman”
I suppose this blog entry is kind of an origin story for me. I don’t want to pretend that I’m some sort of ‘Batman’ character…oh no. First off, I’m to old for that shit. In fact, today is my birthday, and I now have 48 years on the books…God Bless! Secondly, I don’t have that “Bruce Wayne” type money…at least not yet. I have chosen this clip because it is a prime example of this “ksatriya mentality” of ours…this ‘hero attitude.’ Heroes in our own ways.
While ‘Batman’ is a fantastical character, I am more grounded in reality. Truth be told my spirit is more akin to another fictional character, named by Ayn Rand as ‘John Galt.’
Now, this origin story can not be truly understood without understanding certain key philosophical constructs. Those main constructs being (in order of importance) ‘The Identity,’ ‘The Personality,’ and ‘The Human Elemental.’ If you have read though this blog, at some point you were exposed to these concepts. In Theosophical terms, they represent ‘the trinity’ most of you recognized as Spirit, Mind, and Body.
Let us begin with an interactive exercise. I would like you to ask (copy & paste) Chat GPT the following question:
In regard to theosophical beliefs, tell me about the 'human elemental'?
So, if you trust this definition from an independent A.I System, then I can further explain its purpose. Thus, I have extracted the abstract key component from my personal query (ChatGPT may give each person a slightly different explanation):
“It is seen as a part of the overall composition of a human being but is generally considered more closely tied to the physical, emotional, and mental energies that make up the individual's personality.”
So from this quote you should understand, that there is a direct link between ‘The Human Elemental’ and ‘The Personality.’ Theosophy teaches that reincarnation is an effect of “The Law of Reciprocation,” or in simpler terms, everything in nature is cyclical such as time, planetary revolutions around the sun, and of course karma.
Without over complicating this lesson, as this is a complicated subject, let me just say this simply. ‘The Human Elemental’ (yours) is responsible for the construction of your vehicle in this physical, earthly life regardless of the nature of the vehicle. It is deemed a human elemental only because it has traversed a wide range of vehicles through its extensive evolution. All elementals begin from the the Three Gunas (sattva, rajas and tamas). From this trinity all dualities are created. In regards to elementals the first four being Fire & Water, Earth & Air or Wind. ‘The Three Gunas’ themselves arrive from ‘Prakriti’ or “Material Nature.” I prefer to think of Prakriti as a binary construct (True or False, On or Off, 1 or 0) also known as an XOR (Exclusive Or Comparison).
Binary is a counting system that uses two digits, 0 & 1 or True and False. All other numbers can be created from just these two numbers. In the same fashion, Prakriti creates the totality of matter. Now for a bit of fun…I will send you to:
This little game uses a comparative query algorithm (XOR) to eliminate objects from an array of objects by using known attributes. Akinator can guess an infinite amount of objects, Prakriti does the same but in reverse. It creates objects. Instead of narrowing the field, Prakriti broadens it. Prakriti is a system that move from general towards specific, the human elemental being one of the higher order specifications. Pretty cool yes?
So to wrap up this lesson, The Human Elemental is the end result of a long history of spiritual evolution. There is a hermetic axiom that describes this evolution:
“Atom to Stone, Stone to Plant, Plant to Animal, Animal to Man, Man to Spirit, Spirit to God”
I will stop here to allow you to catch your breath.
