Lobsang Rampa About Elementals

People have rather remarkable ideas about that order of Beings which we call elementals. Frequently they are confused with the souls of humans, but they are nothing at all like that. They mimic humans just the same as monkeys copy humans, and the average medium who cannot see into the astral will be led astray by elementals pretending to be humans.

Elementals are not evil spirits either, they are merely the thought forms which have been generated by constant repetition. For example, if a person constantly gets drunk, then that person will have confused thoughts and his excess energy, being no longer under control, will run wild and will perhaps conjure up thoughts of pink elephants or spotted lizards, or something like that. These things are elementals.

As we have said, each cycle of evolution is constituted by those leaving a cycle and those starting a cycle, so we get what is in effect a life - wave of living souls or Overselves, and each of these waves has its own contribution to evolution, it leaves its own pattern just the same as an Oxford man leaves a different pattern on civilisation to the Yale man, and the Borstal man leaves yet a different pattern. So when this life - wave goes on their memory remains as a. static force, and as there have been so many people concerned, the force is built up into what is in the astral plane a solid creature.

These creatures which have been built up and left behind by succeeding wave - forms or cycles of evolution are solid creatures, but they lack 'the divine spark', they lack intelligence, and instead they are only able to mimic or reproduce things which have entered into their consciousness at some time. You can, if you try hard enough, teach a parrot to repeat a few words, it does not necessarily understand the words but the parrot is repeating a sonic pattern. In the same way, elementals repeat a cybernetic pattern.

For those who are really interested in the subject, elementals are divided into many different types in much the same way as in humans - there are black people, brown people, yellow people, white people, etc. In the elemental groups there are four main types attached to the Earth astral plane, and that is how we get some of the 'qualities' of astrology. The astrologer will know of the Spirits of Air, the Spirits of Fire, the Spirits of Water, and the Spirits of Earth, for they are the four main types of elementals.

The witchcraft people, or the alchemist, would refer to them as gnomes for one group, sylphs for the second group, salamanders for the third group, and for the last group undines.

If you want to take it a bit farther beyond the astrologer and beyond the witches you can go on to the stage of the chemists, because you can say that the Earth group represent a solid in which all molecules adhere. After the solid - we have the liquid (water) in which molecules move freely. Next on our list is air, which also includes gases of various types, and in air the molecules repel each other. Finally, for our chemical correspondents, there is fire, and in fire molecules change or transmute into some other substance.

The term 'elemental' is almost always reserved for those Beings who occupy a place in one of the groups just mentioned, but there are other groups such as nature Spirits. Nature spirits control the growth of trees and plants, and they help in the transmutation of organic compounds so that plants may be enriched and fertilised. These groups all have an Overself - Head, or if you prefer, an Oversoul; they are known as the Manu. The human tribe has a Manu, each country has a Manu, and nature spirits have a Manu, there is a Manu who controls and oversees the work of the tree spirits just as there is a Manu who controls the work of the rock spirits. In Egypt, many, many centuries ago, highly trained priests were able to get in contact with these Manus. For example, Bubastes, the cat God, the Manu of cats everywhere.

I've found another interesting explanation from Dr Rampa about elementals and thoughtforms.

''But let us return to our “elementals.” What do we mean by
elementals? Well, elementals are a primary form of spirit life.
They are a stage up from thought forms. These thought forms are
merely projections from the conscious or unconscious mind of the
human and they have merely a pseudo life of their own. Thought
forms were created by the ancient Egyptian priests in order that
the mummified bodies of great pharaohs and famous queens
could be protected from those who would desecrate the ancient
tombs. Thought forms are constructed with the idea that they shall
repel invaders, that they shall attack by impinging upon the consciousness
of those who would intrude, and, in impinging upon the
consciousness, to cause such extreme terror that the would-be
burglar flees. We are not concerned with thought forms, for they
are mindless entities which are merely charged by long-dead
priests and set to accomplish certain tasks, the guarding of tombs
against invaders. We are concerned for the moment with elementals.

Elementals, as we have stated, are spirit people in the early
stages of development. In the spirit world, the astral world, they
correspond roughly to the position occupied by monkeys in the
human world. Monkeys are irresponsible, mischievous, frequently
spiteful and vicious, and they have no great reasoning power of
their own. They are, as one might say just animated lumps of
protoplasm. Elementals, occupying about the same status in the
astral world as monkeys in the human world, are forms which
move about more or less without purpose, they jibber and put on
strange horrifying expressions, they make threatening motions
at an astral traveling human, but, of course, they can do no harm.
Always keep that in mind; they can do no harm.
If you have ever been so unfortunate as to go to a mental
hospital and see really bad cases of mental derangement, you will
have been shocked at the manner in which some of the worst cases
there come up to one and make threatening, or possibly meaningless,
gestures. They slobber and drool, but if they are faced with
determination they, being of a very inferior mentality, always
retreat.

When you move through the lower astral planes you may meet
some of these people, some of these strange, outlandish creatures.
Sometimes if a traveler is timid these creatures cluster around and
try to fluster one. There is no harm in that, they are quite harmless,
really, unless one is afraid of them. When one is starting astral
travel you will often get two or three of these lower entities congregating
nearby to see how one “makes out”, in much the same way
as a certain type of person always likes to look at a learner driver
taking a car out for the first time. The spectators always hope that
something gory or exciting will happen, and sometimes if the
learner driver is flustered he, or, more usually, she, will collide
with a lamp post or something else to the great delight of the
spectators. The spectators, as such, mean no harm, they are just
sensationalists trying to get a cheap thrill. So with the elementals
they are merely out for cheap entertainment. They like to see the
discomfiture of humans, therefore, if you show any fear, these
elementals will be delighted and will keep up their gesticulations,
their fierce and threatening approaches. Actually, they can do
nothing whatever to any human, they are more like dogs who can
bark only, and a barking dog does no harm. Furthermore, they
can only annoy you so long as you, through your fear, permit
them to.''
