“The intuitive magician will find a certain relationship between the earth zone and the muladhara center.” Quote by Franz Bardon
“The sphere ... which is located beyond our physical world is called the earth zone. It is also known as the zone girdling the earth. This zone has varying degrees of density, the so-called sub-planes, into which human beings enter after they leave their physical bodies. This is the astral world that individuals enter into with their astral bodies after their physical death.” WorldHumansBodyEarthIndividualHuman BeingsKnownMagicDegreesPlanesZoneMysticismSpheresPhysical BodyDensity Author:Franz Bardon

“Through a particular magical practice it is possible to modify the being that has only one element into a being with four elements and to give it an immortal spirit. But a magicial will seldom intervene without good reason, because he is responsible and must justify his actions before Divine Providence.” GivingReasonActionSpiritPracticeFourMagicDivineParticularElementsResponsibleJustifyImmortalMysticismProvidenceDivine ProvidenceFour Elements Author:Franz Bardon
“The activities and effects of the Fire and Air elements in the astral sphere call forth the astral-electric fluid, and the activities and effects of the Water and Earth elements call forth the astral-magnetic fluid. The spirit-beings use these fluids to create the effects or rather the causes in our physical world. The Akasha Principle of the astral sphere maintains the harmonious equilibrium of the elements in the entire astral sphere.” WorldUseEarthSpiritCausesWaterPrinciplesFireMagicAirEffectsActivityElementsMysticismSpheresElectricFluidHarmoniousEquilibriumMagnetic Author:Franz Bardon
“In reality, good and evil do not exist, because Divine Providence created nothing that is bad and disharmonious; this is only a human concept. From the hermetic point of view, one type of being has to bring forth positive influences, whereas another type has to bring forth negative influences. In an astral respect these beings are the tools of the effects on our physical world. They are also the cause of all effects in the astral body of every human being, whether they are initiated or not.” WorldHumansBodyRealityEvilCausesHuman BeingsViewsMagicInfluenceEffectsDivineTypeConceptsNegativeToolsPoint Of ViewGood And EvilMysticismProvidenceDivine ProvidenceNegative InfluencePositive Influence Author:Franz Bardon

“Yes, fasting is not merely a commandment from God but a godly gift, a grace and a blessing. God the creator of our body and soul knows of our need to fast for its benefit for our spiritual life, development and our eternity. He granted us the knowledge and manner of fasting. As a kind Father and a wise Teacher, He has recommended fasting for us.” KnowsNeedsKindSoulBodySpiritualFatherGraceTeacherWiseDevelopmentBlessingBenefitsEternityCreatorGrantedSpiritual LifeCommandmentsGodlyFasting Author:Pope Shenouda III of Alexandria
“Fasting, as some people speculate, is not a bodily torture, martyrdom, or a cross, but it is a way to elevate the body to reach the level of cooperation with the soul. When we fast, our intention is not to torture the body but to shun its behaviour. Thus, one who fasts becomes a spiritual and not a physical person. Fasting is an ascetic soul which takes the body with it as its partner in asceticism.” PeopleWayPersonsSoulBodySpiritualLevelsCrossesIntentionPartnersTortureCooperationBehaviourFastingMartyrdomAsceticism Author:Pope Shenouda III of Alexandria
“Fasting is not bodily hunger but bodily elevation and purity. It is not a body that hungers and longs for food, but a body that rids itself of the desire to eat. Fasting is a time when the soul flourishes and lifts the body up with it. It rids the body of its loads and burdens and lifts it up so that God may work with it without impediment to the happiness of the spiritual entity.” MaySoulBodySpiritualDesireHungerBurdenLiftsPurityLoadEntityFastingElevationImpediments Author:Pope Shenouda III of Alexandria
