The Four Stages Of Life (Τα τέσσερα στάδια της ζωής)

-From my text on the Logos (The Word).

1. Birth
-It is known for the time of innocence, when the hour of blossoming arrives. Spring is its season. It is embodied by the fresh flowers of a new awakening.

2. Adolescence
-It is known for the time of discovery, when the hour of growth emerges. Summer is its season. It is embodied by the radiant rays of the sunlight.

3. Adulthood
-It is known for the time of knowledge, when the hour of consciousness develops. Autumn is its season. It is embodied by the abundance of the fallen leaves.

4. Old Age
-It is known for the time of wisdom, when the hour of the truth is revealed. Winter is its season. It is embodied by the pure whiteness of the snow.

These unique stages of life in the philosophical teachings of Meleticism are the true representation of not only the passage of time, but the change of seasons as well. They teach us to be conscious about the relevance of life and nature. As human beings, we are a part of nature. What effects nature, effects us. It is like a ripple effect. Life does not guarantee us anything, except living. Some of us live longer than others, whilst others live a shorter period of life. No one can avoid death. It is an undeniable part of our human nature. What we can do is learn to live a better life, by allowing nature to heal us and teach us with the changes of season that we too change with time and age. A young child is the seed to a blossoming spring, as an old person is the reflection of an encompassing winter.

What we understand from these seasons is the passing of time and with it, the stages of our lives. Everyone is born into life, as everyone must pass into death. What should comfort us is that in the end, we are one we nature. Just as nature ages, so do we. Just as a new flower blossoms, so do we. Once we have understood the process of life, then we can perceive the true essence of life within the universal order of the Logos. As human beings, we are involved in a continual change that is represented by nature and by our existence. The emanations from the Enas give us life, but it is nature that teaches us to live.
