The Taittiriya Upanishad (Vedic text) describes the formation of the five elements as a sequence beginning with the first element, Akasha, which then forms subsequent elements air, fire, water and earth. Akasha is a physical element described as having the qualities of sound (an aetheric vibratory element) that is normally imperceptible by the five senses and scientific instruments.

Akasha is eternal. The universe arose from Akasha and will eventually dissolve back into it.

Akasha is the thin veil between Source (pure unmanifested) consciousness and this physical realm. As thought forms (divine will) and prana (shakti) arise from Source, they take form through akasha to create the manifold forms in the universe.

The same shakti that creates atoms, stars and galaxies is within us. We all have the power to access this infinite source of energy, to influence Akasha and magic happen in our lives!
