North or Earth is the most apparent of the layers. It is all encompassing of us and we can not know life without it. All the main aspects of life: Being, mind, emotion and perception are not of the North but they express through the north, into the north.
We each have a point of connection to this plane which is our body. It is via that anchor that the other qualities express themselves but manifest through our northern point into the north dimension. The places that they come from can't be experienced in isolation separate from the Earth. The common way is to live out a life time totally engrossed in the physical realm. To live and die this way is not a fulfilled life because you are destined to return to this plane until you can transcend it during a physical life time.
The technique
THE LORD OF THE NORTH is to be revered but not worshipped. The North must be constantly acknowledged as a way to maintain the necessary mental distance from it that is required to make a complete separation. Because of its encompassing nature, being due to the fact that we are actually in the north, separation cannot actually occur until death. But by constant awareness of this relationship a mental space between you and the north can be established. This space will however close up around you the moment you let that attitude lapse or distort into something else.
You must know that the north is always closing in on you because you are inside it.
The perceptions that you create about you and your life are not pure they are 100% entwined with the North. They are tainted by the enclosing grip of physical nature. Once you know this you can begin to see life more clearly.
So the aim is not to escape the North but to understand it and know how it relates to you.
THE FOUR LORDS ARE ONE LORD and even then they are not lords but devisions of the body of the one lord. Although they are called lords they are not. They are states that are divided into four categories judged by the qualities that they express. So actually all of existence is one state and the North is the lowest division of that. There are three divisions beyond that which I will describe.
