The Four Fires
Universally, fire is regarded as a spiritual symbol of awakening.It is also a purifying force that can be constructive or destructive, depending on our use if it. Many sacred texts speak of fire as a symbol of the vital life force that can be called upon for transformation, re-visioning, or the transmission of renewed meaning.
Traditionally, the four fires that these sacred texts refer to are:
The fire of vision provides visions or dreams that show us the possibilities and potential in our lives, inspiring us to manifest what we see or are called upon to do.
The fire of the heart teaches us about what and whom we love.
The creative fire signals the work that we love, a keen awareness of our gifts, and our desire to express them as a way of contributing to the world.
The soul's fire calls us to be authentically who we are and serve others rather than our own ego.
We encounter these fires throughout our lives, and during our later years, we need to reconnect to them so that we can experience what truly inspires us.

Back to Passion
There is a power in our heart far greater than anything we can imagine. This power is our passion - the life force that pulsates within us, bringing energy, vitality and meaning to everything it touches. When the passion flows into our relationship, it brings intimacy and deep connection. When the passion flows into our work, it brings creativity and vision. When passion flows into our quest for Truth, it brings wisdom. When passion flows into our spiritual journey, it brings awakening.
No matter how battered we are by love or life, no matter what we endure, we never really lose our passion. Perhaps we leave it for a while, but it never leaves us.
Cross Cultural Conflict Resolution, session 3 of the Genuine Contact Program begins tomorrow in Val-David, Quebec at our new location.
