Ancient Wisdom and the Fire Within
Ancient Greek mythology served many purposes: it helped explain the natural world, offered moral guidance, and shaped cultural identity. Myths gave people a way to understand the origins of the cosmos and the forces of nature—earthquakes, storms, seasons—by linking them to the actions of gods and goddesses. At the same time, these stories offered lessons about virtue, hubris, love, and sacrifice, often told through the lives of heroes, villains, and those in between.
One such myth is that of Prometheus, the Titan who defied Zeus by stealing fire and giving it to humanity. This fire symbolised more than warmth or survival—it stood for divine knowledge, transformation, and the power to create. But this gift came at a price. Prometheus was punished, and humanity was left to grapple with the weight of such power before it was truly ready.
In many ways, we are now living out our own version of that myth.
A New Kind of Fire
With the dawn of the nuclear age during the Second World War, the world split the atom—and with it, crossed a spiritual threshold. We discovered a fire unlike any before. One with the power to illuminate, heal, and transform—but also to annihilate.The bomb dropped on Hiroshima ended the war, but it also shattered our sense of moral certainty. What followed—the Cold War, the arms race, and decades of global tension—left humanity in a quiet, lingering fear. That fear has never truly left us.
Today, we still live in the shadow of that fire.
A World at a Crossroads
In Gaza, Hamas has used civilians as human shields, creating a brutal moral confusion. Turkey eyes Greece and Cyprus—not with peace in mind, but with hunger for power and energy control. North Korea builds weapons in silence. China asserts dominance not only over trade, but also over the narrative of truth itself.
“Wokeness”—originally meant to awaken compassion—has too often become another tool for silence, manipulation, and division.
We are flooded with information, yet starved for truth. We are witnessing the rise of strongmen, oligarchs, and ideologues—those who seek control over conscience, land, belief, and thought.
It seems the world stands at a spiritual crossroads. One path leads to deeper chaos. The other, to conscious awakening.
The Sacred Fire and Caroline Myss
Caroline Myss teaches that the nuclear age wasn’t just a leap in science—it was a moment of spiritual reckoning. When we split the atom, we inherited a new kind of responsibility. The power we unlocked wasn’t just physical—it was energetic.Our thoughts, choices, and words now ripple further than ever before.
Like the atom, each soul holds immense energy at its core. Used wisely, it can illuminate cities, heal hearts, and transform lives. Misused, it can devastate. The nuclear age didn’t begin the nightmare—it revealed just how close we’ve always been to misusing divine fire.
We can no longer afford to be unconscious.
Christ, the 72 Angels, and the Light We Carry
In Christian tradition, fire is not stolen—it is given freely by Christ, the Light of the World. His fire does not destroy. It warms, guides, and purifies. It lights our way when the world grows dark.The 72 Angels, drawn from sacred Judaic-Christian texts, serve under Christ’s authority. Each angel holds a divine frequency, ready to guide us, protect us, and realign us with our spiritual truth. They are guardians of the fire within us.
Where Prometheus brought fire in defiance, Christ brings light in love.
The world may tremble—but we are not powerless.
Tending the Flame Within
While we may not control governments or armies, each of us carries a flame.That flame is our conscience, our voice, our prayers, our compassion. It is the strength to act with kindness. The courage to speak truth. The humility to pray when we feel powerless.
We are not called to panic—we are called to presence.
The angels are near. Christ is in charge. Our task is to keep our fire clear, humble, and steady. To love when it’s difficult. To speak light into darkness. And to ask for divine help when we are weary.
Angel to Reflect On: Vehuiah
Vehuiah is the first of the 72 Angels—a bearer of courage, transformation, and divine will. When the world feels overwhelming, Vehuiah helps us reconnect to our inner spark and move forward with spiritual authority.Invocation:
“Vehuiah, angel of divine fire, help me use my energy for good. Guide me to act with courage and wisdom. Let my light reflect the light of Christ.”
A Word from Scripture
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.”
— Matthew 5:14
We are not meant to hide our light. We are meant to shine—so others may find their way, too.
— Matthew 5:14
We are not meant to hide our light. We are meant to shine—so others may find their way, too.
