The first fire represents the birth of the energy of the fire. Before fire there was nothing, fire is the element of ignition, motivation, forward movement. It’s the element that drives human and we cannot exist without it.

Many people will tell you stories around the world about where the fire was born, many people on many different mountains have told me the first fire was born in Italy, in Peru, in Mexico etc. Taken literally its a little confusing, how can the first fire be born so many times?

The essence of the first fire to me is the source of energy is that connects us to our source, our core, our energy, our heart. The rose resembles the sacred geometry of life which is the same geometry of the heart, they say the fire is the rose. So source, the fire, is the heart. It’s the place we truly move from.
