Preventing Spontaneous Human Combustion

An excerpt from Ariadne's Book of Dreams

"Minerals, the jewels and treasures of the earth, are excavated from deep within the Lower World to offer up their radiant qualities and to help us glimpse the spiritual light within. Dreamers have reported being presented with a special crystal, such as an amethyst, in a dream by some wise woman or sage. Such a gift of power may awaken intuition and spiritual vision.

From within the Lower World, the natural elements may erupt in dreams as weather patterns that offer insight into the mood of the dreamer. These elements have corresponding meanings as they relate to man: fire (passion), water (emotions), air (mind), and earth (the body). As weather, these elements combine to create storms, floods, and winds of all sorts to express our own feelings or moods. Earth activity, such as earthquakes and aftershocks, in dreams may reveal deep emotions or responses to situations that rock our lives. Dreams of tidal waves and hurricanes may offer a magnified picture of our emotions. A stream may represent the flow of life force; a river may indicate vital sexual energy. A cave may be the womb, a mountain peak the crown. Dreams reflect the deep connection between man and the elements of nature."

There is another element within the framework of nature, and it is referred to as ethereal energy, or ether. It is the glue of the universe and the stuff from which all life springs. Some cultures define it as a little blue spark. I bring this up because humans are made from these basic elements. Yes, it is just that simple, and its the blue spark that ignites your soul into a 'being'. Yet, I want to focus on the element of fire. Passion. Anger. Energy, and the notion of spontaneous combustion.

Spontaneous human combustion (SHC) is the alleged burning of a person's body without a readily apparent, identifiable external source of ignition.

Many people believe that Spontaneous Human Combustion was first documented in such early texts as the Bible, but, scientifically speaking, these accounts are too old and secondhand to be seen as reliable evidence.

Over the past 300 years, there have been more than 200 reports of persons burning to a crisp for no apparent reason.

Theories about Spontaneous Human Combustion

- Alcoholism - many Spontaneous Human Combustion victims have been alcoholics. But experiments in the 19th century demonstrated that flesh impregnated with alcohol will not burn with the intense heat associated with Spontaneous Human Combustion.

- Deposits of flammable body fat - Many victims have been overweight - yet others have been skinny.

- Divine Intervention - Centuries ago people felt that the explosion was a sign from God of Divine punishment.

- Build-up of static electricity - no known form of electrostatic discharge could cause a human to burst into flames.

- An explosive combination of chemicals can form in the digestive system - due to poor diet.

- Electrical fields that exist within the human body might be capable of 'short circuiting' somehow, that some sort of atomic chain reaction could generate tremendous internal heat.

How about anger, rage, and fury? Modern English language is filled with expression, and metaphors that are representations of facts. An observation of nature that became a noble truth had to be stated or examined sometime in history, and from there started the examples. Fanning the flames, people need to vent, blowing his top, human combustion is real. Its also very simple. If people can not find a way to let loose from their emotional inputs, then they combust. Its how alcohol use came into being, well that , and boredom.

Most people can not seem to detach from their emotions. Regardless of the feeling, if there is attachment then at some point those emotions 'boil', 'simmer', and must be released through some form. Pinpoint and discover the emotion and its elemental association, think of its opposite, and then releasing mechanism is revealed.

Sadness/joy = water/sun(fire) Anger/Calm = Fire/water
Delirium(dizziness)/Stillness = Air/ Earth
Now the key is remembering a beneficial, solution. When angry don't drink alcohol, because alcohol is flammable. Getting upset, just go and sit by the ocean, a large body of water, then listen to the waves. How many island people or beachcombers do you know that are angry? Think about it!

Bumba Dee, Da,... Happy Trails!
