Fire "Ecstatic Expression"
About: The free flow of
divine creative energy in a positive, uplifting fashion.

Earth "Humble Embodiment"
About: Embodying. Focusing
on the present moment, present life, and being realistic/intelligent
enough to perfect this reality.
Without Earth: We
would all be up in the clouds (emotions), in the air (thinking),
or in the imagination (fire). There would be no actualization.
Weakness: Attachment
and stinginess. Clinging to physical things, resistance to
change, overfocusing on physical, temporal details rather than
the larger spiritual picture or the heart.

Air "Human Relating"
About: The love of
people with freedom and non-attachment. The use of the intellect
in service to humanity.
Without Air: There
would be no ability to appreciate differences and different perspectives. There
would be no unified humanitarian vision.
Weakness: A
difficulty with feeling emotion, leading to depression and/or a
lack of true connection with Self and others. An overactive
mind, or addiction to learning that blocks deeper peace and awareness.

Water "Spiritual Unity"
About: Harmony with Spirit
through Spiritual Surrender, leading to co-operation with Divinity,
which then manifests through loving presence, service, and/or creative
arts. The removal of selfish instincts from loving, giving,
and having.
Without Water: No
compassion. No surrender.
Weakness: Attachment. Addiction
to emotional obsession, victimization, insecurity, defensiveness,
and pain. Inability to separate and work on the self before
appropriate merger with others, with Spirit, etc.
