Warmth vs. Cold: analyzed via an Esoteric Approach.

Part I


Heat-Warmth vs. Cold
analyzed via an Esoteric Approach.


Warmth being alternated with heat mildly –
not too intensely,
is perceived by most organism,
particularly by the highly evolved ones,
as love and affection.

Love and affection are perceived as warmth and heat.

Most people open up to receive love, as it feels
so warm and worth of receiving.

In order to receive, one has to open up and create
space for receiving.

Heat has an ability to soften up borders and allow a
receiving mode via expansion of the structure directly
benefiting from the heat being received.

In love, whether one gives more or the other, both
receive something as expanding heat is the trigger.

In health, muscles spasm, which contributes to
so much discomfort,
can be alleviated by a simple approach.

Instead of, only massaging or manipulating the spastic
area, it is the best to use the esoteric approach.

While applying pressure to the spastic points, apply heat
to the area at the same time.

The body and mind, which usually resist any pressure,
as pain is triggering a tensing up, are confused by the
mildly and gradually released heat.

As heat is perceived as love and affection, the body
begins opening up to the incoming “love.”


In order to receive more love, as it is so desirable to a
body and mind, the releases of spasms
occur naturally since the body ordered by mind prepares more space to receive.

In this case, the muscles’ group that is in deep spasm,
becomes more relaxed,

as only being relaxed,
it can receive love.

If the muscles do not relax, they have smaller space i.e.
are in concentrated spasm, to receive the warmth-love.

Tension means that there is shortage of love, as love
releases tensions.

At the same time, pressing the surrounding structures
(muscles) we are able to release the tension that is
exposed to our touch, as heat does its job.


Usually, natural, heated volcanic rocks produce a
comfortable release of spasms.

Just make sure the temperature is comfortable, as too
much love and/or heat may hurt.

While a typical doctor may prescribe painkillers or
invasive medicine and heavy, physical therapy, there is
a very simple and effective, alternative way to release
most of muscle spasms:

a) basic massage

b) and heat at the same time.

As there is an exception to any rule, inflammations,
open wounds, and anything that constitutes “too
vulnerable to receive direct heat”
should not be exposed to such.

==========================================




Cold feels as not giving but as taking
something away from us.


That is why we tense up when feel cold,
as

we try to prevent something being
taken away from us, which is heat.

We defend our space and created borders around it;
thus, tension and shrinkage.

Notice that the area of the body shrinks
in order to conserve the heat.

Heat enlarges.

We also begin to shiver when cold intensifies, as our
body knows that friction and movement produce heat.

Nature points everything to

heat and love, being of the
same nature:

giving, expanding, nourishing, and allowing
something in us to open in order to receive.


Esoteric approach can quickly and efficiently get to the
core of almost any matter.

All answers are in Nature.

Nature is the living Bible – not the dead letters, full of
confusion and alterations, perceived by confused minds
even with more mutations of common sense.

“A living book of nature,”
said once Omraam Michael Aivanhov.

I could not agree with him more, as once,
I read enough of what he shared, it triggered, in me,
a new world and a natural ability to continue
unveiling that, living book of Nature - called Life.

Life is the answer to everything – not dead letters to,
the barely, "alive" people.

Intense life is motion and heat as both are derivatives
of each other.

Very Nice Post.

Halos

Heat is produced by not only movement and friction
but also by the understanding that “sharing” and “giving” allows that heat to flow in space.

The more we give and share,
the more we produce heat and love.

The more we take away from others,
the more cold is produced.

What is the ultimate cold i.e., taking from others?

A war!

What is the ultimate heat?

Sharing selflessly!


Which visible structure in Cosmos comes
the closest to that ideal?

Our Sun which shares its warmth and light
so selflessly giving it to us constantly
and without asking anything in return.

The people who learn to imitate the Sun
and gives love selflessly,
begin to shine like the as the Sun,
one day if not on the physical layer,
then, at least, on its ethereal counterpart.

If you think that a golden veil, aura placed
around some Saints was just a pretty picture,
know that some of them gave
so much love to others purely and selfishly
in its highest degree that that

intense heat on the ethereal level
became crystallized on the physical

and many could see an actual glow
around their head, as the brain
of a selfless person is able to enter such high
oscillations that the intense energy produce may,
indeed, become visible as the spectrum of light.

Halos around the Sun also have its counterpart
on the Earth as halos around the truly noble
and selfless people who blessed our Earth
with their presence and accomplishments.

Again, a very nice post.

ha·lo
n., pl. -los or -loes.

A circular band of colored light around a light source, as around the sun or moon, caused by the refraction and reflection of light by ice particles suspended in the intervening atmosphere.

Something resembling this band.
A luminous ring or disk of light surrounding the heads or bodies of sacred figures, such as saints, in religious paintings; a nimbus.

==========================================
A coronagraph is a telescopic attachment designed specifically to block out the harsh, direct light from a star, so that nearby objects can be resolved without burning out the telescope's optics. The name comes from the fact that the first coronagraphs were used to image the corona of the sun.

Coronagraphs are useful for imaging coronas, near-solar comets, and even extrasolar planets.




==========================================

The aura of majesty or glory surrounding a person or thing that is regarded with reverence, awe, or sentiment.
tr.v., -loed, -lo·ing, -loes.

To encircle with or as if with a halo.

Encyclopedia


halo, in meteorology, short-lived circles or arcs, and less commonly spikes and crosses, of colored or whitish light surrounding the moon or sun or in clouds as seen from above.

A halo occurs when the light from the sun or the moon is refracted and reflected by ice crystals in the atmosphere, usually in a thin layer of high cirrostratus clouds.

Under certain circumstances a second, or outer, halo appears, which is fainter than the inner one. At times white or colored luminous arcs are also seen lying somewhat parallel to the horizon and passing through the source of light, called mock suns, parhelia, or sun dogs for the sun, and paraselenae for the moon. A single mock sun, the anthelion, directly opposite the sun, may be added.

In general a white halo results from the reflection of light by ice crystals, while one which appears as colored rings results from the refraction of light by ice crystals.

Halos are more brilliant and complex near the poles than in other parts of the world. The theory attributing their formation to the presence of ice crystals was first suggested by the 17th cent. French philosopher Descartes. Similar to a halo and sometimes confused with it is the sun's corona. In X-ray electron diffraction, the term halos refers to the broad rings that appear on a photographic film as a result of the diffraction of a monoenergetic beam of X rays or electrons from a crystalline powder located at the center of the camera.

halo
n.

Properly, a luminous ring encircling an astronomical body, but not infrequently confounded with "aureola," or "nimbus," a somewhat similar phenomenon worn as a head-dress by divinities and saints. The halo is a purely optical illusion, produced by moisture in the air, in the manner of a rainbow; but the aureola is conferred as a sign of superior sanctity, in the same way as a bishop's mitre, or the Pope's tiara. In the painting of the Nativity, by Szedgkin, a pious artist of Pesth, not only do the Virgin and the Child wear the nimbus, but an ass nibbling hay from the sacred manger is similarly decorated and, to his lasting honor be it said, appears to bear his unaccustomed dignity with a truly saintly grace.





A halo (also known as a nimbus or Gloriole) is a ring of light that surrounds an object. They are often used in religious works to depict holy or sacred figures. In Christian sacred art (Eastern and Western churches), holy persons (saints) are depicted with a halo in the form of a golden, yellow or white circular glow around the head.

Halos, also known as icebows, are also optical phenomena that appear near or around the Sun or Moon, and sometimes near other strong light sources such as street lights. There are many types of optical halos, but they are mostly caused by ice crystals in cold cirrus clouds located high (5-10 km, or 3-6 miles) in the upper troposphere. The particular shape and orientation of the crystals is responsible for the type of halo observed. Light is reflected and refracted by the ice crystals and may split up into colors because of dispersion, similarly to the rainbow.

Religious iconography

The halo has become an object of religious iconography in both Christian and Buddhist traditions.

In Christianity


Simon Ushakov's The Last Supper depicts Jesus and the twelve Apostles.



Eleven of the twelve have halos, with one (Judas Iscariot) who does not.The halo represents an aura or glow of sanctity which was most prominent around the head and was conventionally drawn as a circle. It first appeared in the art culture of ancient Greece and Rome, and was incorporated into Christian art sometime in the 4th century.

Round halos are typically used to signify saints —ie. people considered as spiritually gifted. A cross within a halo is used to represent Jesus. Triangular halos are used for representations of the Trinity. Square halos are used to depict unusually saintly living personages.

The use of halos to designate Christian saints presented a problem in the translation of the Hebrew Bible. When Moses came down from Mount Sinai carrying the tablets of the law, he is said in the Hebrew text (Exodus 34,29) to have a glowing or radiant face. However, this would have implied a halo, which was reserved for Christian-era saints. Jerome avoided this by translating the phrase into Latin as "cornuta esset facies sua" (his face was horned). This mistake in translation is possible because the word for both "ray" and "horn" in the Hebrew language is "keren". What the word meant in the aforementioned case in the Bible is clear. There, the radiance of Moses's face is called "karan ohr", or "rays of light".

The description of horns, however, was taken literally by Medieval and Renaissance artists, who depicted Moses with small horns growing from his forehead. Especially noteworthy in this respect is Michelangelo Buonarroti's statue of Moses in San Pietro in Vincoli.

In popular piety, this practice has led to the literal belief that saints' have visible halos around their heads, rather than it be understood as a metaphorical representation. Some faithful believe the halo to be equivalent to the Eastern religion aura, and as with the latter, believe that halos are visible to those with perception. Of the many stories about saints, some reports claimed that a saint was literally glowing. This whole-body image of radiance is sometimes called the 'aureole', a "lemon-drop-shaped" item that appears to radiate from the entire body of the saints' being. The term "glory" may also refer to a glowing effusion —used in art to cover up depictions of genitalia. During the Renaissance, when rigorous perspective came to be considered essential, the halo was changed from an aura surrounding the head to a golden ring that appeared in perspective, mysteriously floating above the heads of the saints. This form of halo is still used in many popular depictions of angels and of blessed souls in heaven.

In Buddhism

The Buddha with a halo, 1st-2nd century AD, Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara.The halo has been widely used in Buddhist iconography as well since at least the 1st century AD. Halos are found in Buddhist sculpture and painting from the Gandharan period, influenced by Greek artists brought to India with the army of Alexander the Great.

In Zen Buddhism, ink brush paintings also commonly use the halo in depictions of saints such as Bodhidharma. In Pure Land Buddhism the halo is used in depicting the image of Amida Buddha. Tibetan Buddhism uses halos extensively in the Thangka paintings of Buddhist saints such as Milarepa and Padmasambhava.

Spiritual Significance of the Halo
Some think the halo symbolizes the saint's consciousness as 'radiating' beyond the physical body, and that it serves as a pictorial reminder to the saint's devotees of the saint's transcendence of the physical body.

A more Christian interpretation, less dualistic in its assumptions, is that the halo represents the light of divine grace suffusing the soul, which is perfectly united and in harmony with the physical body.

Optical phenomenon

Halo around moon




Sometimes in very cold weather optical halos are formed by crystals close to ground level, called diamond dust. The crystals behave like jewels, refracting and reflecting sunlight between their faces, sending shafts of light in particular directions.

Atmospheric phenomena such as halos were used as an empirical means of weather forecasting before meteorology was developed.

Halos can also have unusual shapes,

for example a cross. Emperor Constantine I of the Roman Empire is said to have seen such a halo in 313 near Trier. This sign is supposed to have prompted him to become a Christian.

Sundogs


Sun dogs, also known as parhelia (single parhelion), appear as near-horizontal colored spots or bars on both sides of the sun, at nearly a 22 degree angle. Sun dogs are uncommon and typically appear only when a low sun shines through loose cirrus clouds, e.g., in a milky-white winter afternoon sky.



The orientation of the ice crystals involved in this process is important. The crystals are hexagonal cylinders, and they have to be oriented vertically.

When the sun dog phenomenon is seen around the Moon rather than the Sun, it is called a mock moon, moon dog, or by the proper name paraselene.

Sun pillar

Sun pillar near Harpers Ferry, West Virginia (NOAA)A sun pillar appears most often as a vertical pillar or column of light rising from the sun near sunset or sunrise, though it can appear below the sun, particularly if the observer is at a high elevation or altitude. Hexagonal plate- and column-shaped ice crystals cause the phenomenon. Plate crystals generally cause pillars only when the sun is within 6 degrees of the horizon, or below it; column crystals can cause a pillar when the sun is as high as 20 degrees above the horizon. The crystals tend to orient themselves near-horizontally as they fall or float through the air, and the width and visibility of a sun pillar depends on crystal alignment.

Light pillars can also form around the moon, and around street lights or other bright lights. Pillars forming from ground-based light sources may appear much taller than those associated with the sun or moon. Since the observer is generally closer to the light source, crystal orientation matters less in the formation of these pillars.
