It is believed by some that FIRE
was first created by lightening. Caveman saw the fire and was attracted
to it. Maybe they would have thought that a part of the sun had broken
off and fallen to earth. It is believed that fire was first used and controlled
by caveman about 1,420,000 years ago. Although caveman did not know
how to create fire himself using friction or flint until about 7000B.C.
Fire was used to keep warm, cook, illuminate and later to clear forests
of trees to create open areas to better hunt animals. FIRE was also used
in fighting and wars.
FIRE
and Power
FIRE is a very powerful central
element in many religions and beliefs. Probably the most powerful of the
four elements - FIRE, Air, Water, Earth. FIRE has been used as a gathering
point for man throughout history.
Caveman evolves
with FIRE
Much of the changes in technology
and science can be associated with the continual increase in the amount
of energy available through FIRE and brought under control. By harnessing
more of the available energy more efficient machines are created.
FIRE is beautiful, helpful and
sometimes destructive. It has brought people together and it has torn
lives apart. It is to be respected fully.
FIRE will always be fascinating
to mankind and it is mankind that will choose wether FIRE will help us
or destroy us.
Getting
back to basics
To me performing with FIRE is getting
back to the basic element that got us to where we are today. What we see
and think today about FIRE is probably still the same thoughts that our
cave ancestors had many years ago. To me it is more interesting to look
at than the other elements Air, Water and Earth.
