The Powers of Hearth (Heart) and Soul (Soil) by Yasmine Fatemi air, that the angel of air also may embrace it. And leave it from morning to evening beneath the sun that the angel of sunshine may descend upon it. And the blessing of the three angels will soon make the germ of life to sprout in your wheat, then crush your grain, and make thin wafers.... Put them back again beneath the sun.... And the same sun which with the fire of life, mode the wheat to grow and ripen, must cook your bread with the same fire. For the fire of the sun gives life to the wheat, to the bread and to the body. But the fire of death kills the wheat, the bread and the body." In rhythmic motions kneading a dough or clay the dough for several hours upon baking would rise into becoming worthy of consumption by man himself, a living food full of divine light and energy we know as Manna. When the bread is tasted you will see yourself, that it is not ordinary in any sense. It is heavy in flavor and rich in nutrition yet light in both sense of the word, ethereal and empowering. In the same truth lies in the clay when a potter kneads his clay ready for burning in a kiln. He will knead out as much of the air bubbles as possible making the clay very subtle and flexible so it can be easily formed on a wheel and made into a nice smooth shape. Clay can be much better molded in symmetrical form if put on a wheel and is shaped with the spinning of the potter’s wheel. The clay pot will transform from a dense lump of mass, raw and stationary, to a vessel much lighter when held, firmly baked shining with a polished finish, worthy of holding water and vibration. It can no longer lose it form unless it is broken, it is firm yet fragile, and humble in its appearance reflecting its origins and reminding of its resemblance to dust. Dear reader, I invite you to follow this method for yourself and in doing so attach an intention; Select a seed and mindfully plant it the alchemical way in your plot of land, and do it wholeheartedly with the highest most praiseworthy intention in the Name of the Most High, with the best names and in the best cause that the Will of Allah Ta'ala be done in His kingdom and providence. I need not tell you what to say but please make an intention from the heart of your hearts. The believing heart to the heart of the seed and to the heart of the soil and ask for this seed to be ignited with the God consciousness and complete surrender of creation and all forces of nature to work in spreading the seeds of this seed to that it becomes the earth. For the Soul is in the Soil.
