Here’s another analogy for you.  You may never look at another thunderstorm the same way again after reading this.  In this essay, I compare the similarities of a thunderstorm and sex, using as explanatory terms the ancient philosophical manner of understanding the natural world juxtaposed against our modern scientific understanding of nature.  So consider yourself warned.

For the sake of comprehension, when I mention the ‘electric’ or ‘magnetic’ fluid, I am referring the ancient philosophical principles or forces of expansion and contraction.  Think of it as a rarified way of describing the universal forces of heat and cold, if you will, which are really just opposite poles of the same thing.

Let us begin.

The sun’s rays warm the atmosphere thru the action of the electric fluid (heat).  Water vapor is released into the atmosphere as humidity, which becomes hot and subsequently rises into the sky.  The vapor rises and bonds onto dust in the air and when this dirty vapor elevates to a height with a low enough barometric (air) pressure, it becomes visible as a cloud, which is a just collection of warm vapor, or a collection of electric fluid held in suspension in a vaporous medium called humidity.  With more solar heating, the cloud grows in size, building up more electrical potential, or heat energy.

As the cloud grows, it has nowhere to go but out and up, building potential energy, and rising ever closer to a height where this mass of humidity first begins to interact with the cold air in the regions of the upper atmosphere, which represents the magnetic fluid (cold).

And there, high in the atmosphere, begins to occur the ancient philosophical, or Hermetic, sexual reaction between the polar opposites of the warm expanding moist cloud and the cold contracting air in the upper atmosphere, demonstrating the ancient Hermetic Axiom (Law) of Gender/Sex.

As the cloud grows further in size and power, it causes more interaction with the colder upper regions of the atmosphere.  Thanks to the Axiom of Polarity, which states that everything manifested contains within itself its own opposite pole.  This provides a natural polar channel to allow for interaction between the upper cold region of the cloud and the lower warm region.  The cloud is now literally a massive atmospheric expression of polarity.  Scientifically speaking, this a called a cumulonimbus cloud, the type responsible for thunderstorms.

Eventually, when the potential energies between the cold and warm sections of the cloud are at their highest, a reaction occurs high in the atmosphere at the uppermost levels of the cloud, in which a blast of cold air rushes down the center of the massive cloud formation (remember the polar channel?).  This cold air blast is felt on the ground by observers as a sudden chilly gust of wind that appears “from nowhere” while standing beneath a cumulonimbus cloud about ready to “burst”.  In fact the gush of air is called a microburst.  It rushes down the cloud and then out in all directions once it hits the ground below.

This downward draft is very sudden and powerful.  The microburst has been responsible for crashes of large passenger jets that are flying low to the ground underneath a brewing thunderstorm.  These crashes usually take place near an airport, as that is the only time such a large jet is so close to the ground.  The burst of air literally pushes the plane right down into the ground, regardless of whether the plane is trying to climb into the sky.

Back to the discussion.  Essentially, what we have is a manifestation of the Sexual/Gender principle, which has caused the cloud’s cold top and warm bottom to begin exchanging polarities.  As bizarre as it sounds, the cloud formation is beginning to experience an orgasm.

In the human sex act, as understood by the ancient principles, it is said that as the energy potential increases between the lovers, by the law of Polarity, an energy channel opens up within the lovers, and the exchange of energy causes the male to become like the female and the female to become like the male, each manifesting the qualities of its opposite within each other at the moment of orgasm.  The same is occurring in the cloud.

After this blast of cold air rushes thru the cloud (as though the cloud had a spine or Shushumna Nadi channel as it is called in Yoga), the cloud does 2 things at the same time.  Since it is experiencing orgasm, it will behave as such.  The cloud begins to manifest rain and lightning.

The cold air that rushed thru the center of the cloud causes the massive amount of water vapor to collect and condense together to form bigger and bigger droplets of water which will begin to fall due to gravity’s pull once the drop is massive enough to be affected by the earth’s pull.

While the rain is getting ready to fall, lightning strikes the ground (and Sprites, a recently discovered phenomenon, shoot out of the top of the cloud).  These energy bursts are the result of the cloud experiencing its hermetically induced orgasm, just as humans experience huge rushes of energy at the moment of orgasm, as though energy is flowing thru each participant.

Just as an orgasm reaches a certain level of intensity and lasts for a certain amount of time according to how much energy was involved in creating it, so it is with the thunderstorm.  The more energy involved in creating the cloud, the longer will the rain and lightning last.  The really large thunderstorms, called Supercells, can just be viewed as extremely intense atmospheric sex resulting in huge atmospheric orgasms, or as we playfully call it with humans, the “Big O”.

Analogy-wise, the rain can be seen as a charged alchemical elixir created by the sexual interaction of the combined electromagnetic fluids of the cloud, a physical manifestation of purified water that contains the subtle charge of the combined electromagnetism of the male and female sexual fluids of the cloud.  What we have here is akin to a Tantric sexual ritual on a grand atmospheric scale.

Furthermore, with every lightning strike, ozone is created.  Ozone has remarkable qualities.  It purifies the air it touches, cleaning the atmosphere, even creating negative ions, which are beneficial to human health and nature in general.  This can be seen as an atmospheric manifestation of the relaxed feeling and health-generating effects one gets after sex.

After the atmospheric orgasm is over, the lightning strikes cease and the rain diminishes.  All is calm and at peace.  Nature is refreshed and reinvigorated from the sexual intercourse of the cloud, enjoying the health and life generating effects of the rain and the lightning-created ozone.

Interesting huh?  I’ll bet you will never look at a thunderstorm the same way again.  And I wonder if you will ever play in the rain again…

I told you—you were warned.
