In the myths of various countries and peoples there are tales of the legendary bird - the Phoenix. This embodiment of the fiery element and infinite beauty has become a symbol of change & renewal, eternal life and resurrection. In the legends of Japan and China, Greece and Russia can be found sincere admiration and various references to this creature. The phoenix was directly identified with the sun and its inexhaustible energy. It is described in detail in mythological narratives, I will not touch the history, but will focus on some aspects of the project, for a general understanding of the idea without detailing it.
Originally a symbol of the cyclical nature of sunrise and sunset, the Phoenix embodies a set of ideas about immortality and resurrection, including the rebirth of the human condition (spirit) in an eternal struggle with the difficulties of the material world. In essence, the death of the Phoenix and the rebirth are powerful changes that are necessary in life, i.e. it is a symbol of constant development, spiraling upward, stage by stage, taking into account previous experiences. It is a perfect example for a person to understand the lessons of destiny, through which he becomes stronger, and is able to reveal new facets, reserve possibilities of the body and the inner world in himself.
Throughout each of our lives, we are faced with sad and painful events that break us emotionally, physically and/or mentally. When we manage to gather our energies again and ārise from the ashesā after these events, we become like the Phoenix. Also, there are periods in our lives when one phase ends and another begins, when the old dies and the new comes. This is a time of transformation - the old dies off and one needs to be āreborn againā, for one needs energy and strength for new beginnings. This symbol is a balance between āgivingā and ātaking,ā between the past and the future; through the cleansing by fire, a person disposes of unnecessary, obsolete qualities and false values that prevent him from moving forward.
It is very important to note the alchemical symbolism of the Phoenix. Its feathers, tears, or some other parts were thought to be integral to the creation of the Great Alchemy and the Philosopherās Stone. Practitioners saw the Phoenix precisely as the completion of the process. Also the ancient alchemists believed that the tears of the phoenix were indeed a potent medicine capable of curing the most terrible diseases.
FOR MARVEL FANS: 10 AMAZING ABILITIES OF THE DARK PHOENIX
The mysterious Phoenix Force, born in the Big Bang, is as old as time itself. This power exists to destroy life and then to revive it again in a new form. Mutant Jean Grey has long been a vessel for this power and carries its curse. So what gives this power, what abilities does it generate?
10 Telekinesis
As we already know, Jean originally possessed the power of telekinesis. While Magneto could only affect metal, Jean Greyās powers were not so limited; she could move any object. The Phoenix power made her ability more powerful, unlimited, she moved and lifted absolutely anything she wanted into the air.
9 Telepathy
Telepathy is another super ability of the former Jean Grey, which for her own protection was blocked by Charles Xavier. Phoenix freed this immense power, made her ability to penetrate other peopleās minds limitless, and increased the range of her influence.
8 Flying at Super Speed
Thanks to telekinesis, the former Jin could āfloat through the air.ā Like the Dark Phoenix, Jean could fly without using telekinesis. Her speed was equal to the speed of light, she could visit any place in the universe at lightning speed.
7 Molecular Reconstruction
Perhaps one of the most interesting skills. The phoenix is able to manipulate matter. Jean Grey can change any form and matter into anything she thinks of: wood into gold, water into steam, etc. Genie with the power of the Dark Phoenix can also change the structure of the human body, split it or make it mutate into something grotesque and inhuman. This is supposedly what happened to Cyclops in X-Men: The Last Stand.
6 Explosive Force
As the Dark Phoenix, Jean could use Phoenix energy to create and project forms of energy into concussive explosions. The Dark Phoenix can amass enough energy to create a superpowered blast, a blow capable of destroying a planet. It is such abilities that classify her as a top-level mutant.
5 Energy Absorption
The Phoenix power has given Jin the ability to manipulate any kind of energy. For example, the ability to absorb energy from a single star, an entire galaxy, or a black hole. Her skill can also activate mutations in humans.
4 Resurrection
As we already noted, the main purpose of the phoenix existence is to destroy and resurrect. Therefore, with her resurrection powers, Jin can bring anyone āback from the deadā and of course ācome back to lifeā herself.
3 Pyrokinesis
Jin can generate ācosmicā fire in absolutely any place, even underwater and in space.
2 Psionics
It is the power of the former Jean Grey that makes the Phoenix so powerful. The Dark Phoenix āchoosesā the most powerful hosts, amplifying their abilities. The phoenix has become a sort of nexus of all of Jeanās energy, making mental and physical powers limitless.
1 Immortality
The power of the Phoenix itself is immortal and cannot allow its āmasterā to be destroyed. The Dark Phoenix has complete control over all existence, making it the most powerful being ever.
THE MAGIC OF FIRE (FROM "THE THEORY OF MAGIC"; BRIEFLY)
Fire mesmerizes, attracts, frightens and fascinates at the same time. To put it simply, open fire has a hypnotic effect on the psyche, changes human consciousness by its very sight. Thus it does not matter, whether it is a huge ritual fire, dancing flames in a firebox or flickering flame of a candle - influence of the fire element is always appreciable and effective.
Fire magic is one of the most ancient magic, which people began to turn to first in order to protect themselves and their homes from the cold, darkness and otherworldly evil. Fireās ability to destroy everything in its path became the basis of the protective practices of fire magic. With the help of fire magic, they not only performed protective and cleansing rituals, but also called upon the gods and higher powers; divined the future by looking into the raging fire and inhaling the smoke of incense burned in it; struck enemies by throwing their images or things into the fire, performed sorcery and achieved their desired goals.
Certainly, as time passed and civilization developed, fire magic practices became more complicated, sophisticated and efficient - ritual fires were replaced by torches, stoves, braziers and candles. But the very essence of fire magic has not changed. The element of fire is the element of eternal transformation, powerful energy which can be used both for good and for harm to others.
THE USE OF FIRE MAGIC IN PRACTICE (A FEW EXAMPLES)
- Calling for the help of Gods and Spirits. As the element of fire binds everything in the universe into a single whole, it helps to bring their pleas and requests to the Deities;
- Assistance in the rituals of sacrifice;
- Influencing the situation. But you need to be careful here, as the situation will be destroyed and rebuilt in a new way. A complete change in the current life is possible;
- The cleansing power of fire from negative programs. It burns out any foreign influence and restores a personās defenses;
- Clairvoyance and receiving sacred knowledge from outside;
- Evocation of inspiration.
The magic of fire has many directions. However it is possible to allocate the basic ones:
- Rituals. They are the most powerful, capable of changing the world around and influencing any situation. They are capable of releasing energy of great power;
- Candle magic. It is used in many rituals. Correctly choosing the color of the candle, it is possible to influence all areas of life. To use candle magic, it is necessary to know how and in what order to light them and extinguish them, how to arrange them correctly;
- Meditations. The essence of such magic is to work with oneās consciousness. Thanks to meditation, it is possible to connect with fire. It will give the opportunity to see the future, to improve their intuition. In addition, meditation will help to find an answer to the question of how to obtain the power of fire;
- Going out into the astral. The element of fire allows the consciousness to leave the body. Astral travel helps to look into any corners of the planet and the universe, even the most hidden, to meet with spirits;
- Healing. Manipulating the life energy, it is possible to restore health (their own and other people), to get rid of illnesses, heal wounds and injuries;
- Combat Magic. This is useful not only for attacking, but also for defending against enemiesā plots. Martial magic is also a dangerous form of magic. It is better to learn it under the guidance of a strong teacher.
One of the ideas of the project is to recreate the Phoenix soul itself, which merges with the core of the user, who receives certain capabilities and benefits. For example, complete, automatic and permanent mastery and connection with the primary elements, beings and spirits of this element. There is a program of creation of servitors (fire elementals) for different purposes in magical journey; mechanisms of control of this element; of course a powerful protective function; purification and warming of cold space/room, creation of cozy atmosphere; ritualistic; burning of subconscious blocks and restrictions (exactly āburningā, not removal); stimulation of certain processes of inner alchemy and many others.
Some additional project specifications:
PHOENIX REGENERATIVE POWER
The Phoenix has an incredible healing factor, as she can regenerate herself even after being wounded. Of course this healing factor also extends to us now, whom the Phoenix can quickly heal and rejuvenate. Smart advanced healing with minimal side effects and outflow of energy. There is also immunity to various diseases and poisons.
PEAK HEALTH CONDITION AND IMMORTALITY
The Phoenix core helps prevent the degradation of telomere caps and results in slower aging for us and a longer, healthier life. In this way telomeres donāt get shorter every time cells divide. Itās like having unlimited energy to live off of. With this effect throughout our life, telomere caps in all our cells remain the same length and possibly grow longer after each cell division. The smart core is constantly working to integrate the properties of the Phoenix into the users. It continuously enhances its healing, rejuvenating and magical abilities making us human incarnations of the Phoenix itself and installs the negentropic blueprint of a 20-year-old. Also, healing the DNA and RNA to a perfect condition.
Of course, thereās an AESTHETIC PART to the project: recreating a vortex field that causes users to emit the same signature Phoenix energy and vibration to add appeal and divinity.
The most important āfunctionā is ATTUNING TO THE ETERNAL FLAME OF PHOENIX ENERGY SOURCE. (The Captain confirmed this fact)
