The four Elements

The existential significance of the four elements is lost through our orientation in physical, chem-ical, psychological and theological concepts. The basic structure of the four elements, of which the human being is built up, forms in every spiritual system the base and it is symbolised by the different manifestations of fourness and dressed in their own expressions.

Plato says in his work "Timaeus": "Creation happens between Fire and Earth. Since the uni-verse is three-dimensional, it takes two elements in between." This statement is essential. This means in practise for our everyday experience that we need to connect the impulses, Fire, with the element Earth, if we want something to happen.
