Akasha? What is that?

     What is “Akasha” someone has asked me… How to answer this question in a way for one to understand… In regular terms, “Akasha” is the “fifth element”, the element that is unseen that brings the four physical elements together and binds them into one cohesive unit. But in actuality, it is much more than that, as some who have traveled its path have come to understand. Here is my answer, hoping in humility that it makes sense…

     There is a saying that a vast amount of people quote as well as live their life by, which is a very good thing, and it goes like this:

Inspired by Air…
Forged by Fire…
Tempered by Water…
Grounded by Earth…
Guided by Spirit…

     These are the five elements working in tandem. I am going to take it a bit further in order to explain this element:

Inspired by the AIR that we breathe
Forged by the FIRE in our souls
Tempered by the life giving WATER
Grounded by the EARTH beneath our feet
Guided by the SPIRIT within & around us all

     What is true Akasha? A peace with all of existence and a love of all existence – past, present and future. It is timeless and exists in and outside of time and space.

     This is at best a very simplistic explanation. I would love to open up a discussion dialogue regarding this or similar subjects, so feel free to comment and add in your points of view, questions, thoughts, musings, you get the idea *smile*. And to the very special person that asked for an explanation, I hope this helps at least in some small way…
