Where does the fourth element of fire come in? With water, land, and air we get adobe, add fire and you get stone or brick... Fire seems to be the transforming or stabilizing element? How would that relate to what were talking about here?
He then answers his own question: "Wow it just came to me after I sent it. The fire is the life force without it we are just clay or adobe and subject to decay by the elements. Add fire or life force and we are constantly renewed not broken down by the elements as easily so to speak. Same thing with adobe we mix air water and dirt or land and make bricks but they break down with exposure to the elements. But if you expose them to extremely hot fire they become impervious to the elements. Like firing clay pots or bricks the hotter the fire the stronger they become. Sorry if this is elementary to some. If anyone would like to add to it please do..."

The more elementary the better. Many think it is a sign of intelligence to write with great complexity, but note the most simple yet profound statements were made by Jesus.
You make a good point here. Let me restate the statement in question:
"The midway spot which is neither dry nor wet must provide the standing place whereon his feet are set. When water, land and air meet there is the place for magic to be wrought."
Fire is not mentioned in this rule but is not left out because the "magic" is the fire. By standing at the midway point "when water, land and air meet" the door to the soul is then open and the baptism of fire is then approached. This is where the magic is found.
Let us revert to physical imagery. If you are standing on a beach where the water touches land and water, land and sea meet - where is the fire?
There are three fires.
(1) Your internal fires that create your bodily warmth. This represents the gentle fire of your soul.
(2) The fires deep within the earth. This represents the combined fires of the souls of humanity.
(3) The great fire of the Sun. This represents the fire of the Spirit (or monad). Standing at the midway point opens the door to change the night to day and remove the clouds so the greater light of the Sun can be utilized.
Rick asks where is Shamballa?
I think we will talk about the kingdoms after we finish the Rays, but I will say this.
Shamballa is a state of consciousness and is represented on the physical plane where those of the Shamballa consciousness are gathered. The main gathering is in etheric matter (invisible to us) in a city in the Gobi desert, but as mentioned in the Immortal there are other locations.
If one has achieved Shamballa consciousness he is said to be in this location no matter where his bodies are located.
