There are many members who seem to wish to be able to control fire. Some claim to be able to do it already. But mostly, the ones who want to do this, why I have no idea, simply do not know what fire is, or what combustion means. So let me explain.
An explosion is the changing of a solid into a gas. There two kinds, low explosive, and high explosive.
Combustion (the actual changing) is caused by a series of "ignitions". So a match is a low explosive.When struck, the match changes into a gas, but slowly.This "fire" can be transferred to other combustible material; a candle wick, paper. Both of these are "simple ignitions". Higher ignitions need to have "primers". Match, paper,small sticks, bigger sticks, logs, coal! Once a fire is started it cannot be controlled by the Mind!
No more than Niagara Falls could be controlled by the Mind. Anyone who thinks it can, is deluded. Now, I know that many people, especially the young, will claim that they can control fire. What they really mean is that sometimes they can "seem" to control flame. If you stand close to a fire, your body heat will sometimes cause the air around you to "disturb"; and sometimes the flame will come towards you, sometimes go away from you. It looks real; but it is a delusion. Very much like psi wheels spinning!
So all you pyromaniacs, remember that fire is a low explosive. Dynamite is a high explosive! Both are changing solid into gas;fire does it "slowly", Dynamite does it instantly.
