Solar Fire, 1964

The Ageless Wisdom teaches that we live in a spiritual, electrical universe. The sun is threefold in nature, radiating three distinct energies, or fires. The outer, physical sun radiates fire by friction. This essentially cold fire produces heat due to friction with the Earth’s atmosphere. The second aspect of the sun radiates that fire which flows through every atom in our system, uniting and holding together in equilibrium the strucgtyure of our universe. This is Solar Fire, the energy we call Love. Both of these fires flow from Fire Electrical, which embodies the Will and Purpose aspect of Deity. In the painting, the blue fire at the top represents Fire Electrical from which the other fires emerge. The fiery red form below is Solar Fire, the energy of Love.
