The Dual Nature of Fire: Evolutionary Tool and Spiritual Symbol
Fire becomes spiritual because it goes up. Gravity can't pull it down like it can with water. And if we stop breathing within minutes the light goes out in the human body and the spark goes on to the source.
Fire has always been a double-edged sword, both a life-giver and a destroyer. In this episode of the 'Kind Mind' podcast, Michael Todd Fink takes listeners on a fascinating journey through the history of fire. Ever wondered how fire shaped human evolution? Or why it holds such deep spiritual significance in various cultures? Michael covers it all, from the early days when fire was a crucial survival tool to its symbolic presence in religious rituals.
He even dives into the concept of 'inner fire' and how meditation practices can help us connect with this powerful element. Michael’s storytelling brings a unique perspective, blending art, science, and spirituality to show how fire isn't just an external force but also an internal one. This episode is perfect for anyone curious about the deeper meanings behind everyday elements or those looking to find their own inner light.
So, sit back, relax, and let Michael guide you through the flames of history and spirituality.
