i really love how ressembles with exactitude the way we interact w/each element.

fire. the ignition of fire is a cardinal movement. a flash. boom https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Collision symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Collision symbol">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">.
then we obtain a STABLE flame. like when we light a candle or a torch for instance.
the flame is in a relatively fixed state.

after than, the intensity, strenght & height of the flame can VARY.
all these MUTATIONS are characteristic of a mutable behavior.

earth.
look at clay for instance.
when we begin our interaction with clay, or even wood, we find it in a state of INERTIA. fixed behavior.
then, we take the clay, knead it.
while we knead it, the clay is under constant DEFORMATION.

same when we work on a wood board or while forging iron. constant deformation = mutable behavior.
now you got your bowl, your pot (clay), your sword, or whatever your forged with the iron.
your item is READY to be used FOR ACTION.
initiating action -> cardinal.

now air.
let’s look at it like a thought.
multiple ideas that are CONSTANTLY MOVING crossing our minds..
that’s the part of the thought process which corresponds to mutable energy.

then Eureka! we finally found what it is that needs to be done, & can PROCEED TO ACTION. that’s the cardinal step of the thought process.
once we’ve been motivated to take action & did so, in order to finish what we started we have to FOCUS on our ideas with CONSISTENCY.

that was the fixed part of the thought process.

& last but not least, water.
let’s look at it like an emotion.

first, an emotional RUSH occurs.
whatever the emotion is, we were in a state of inertia & the emotion touches us & immediately ignites a response in our bodies & mind.
that’s the cardinal part of the interaction with our emotions.

after that, we sit with the emotion in order to FOCUS on it so we can process it. that’s the fixed part of the interaction with our emotions.

arrives the moment when the emotion is processed physically & mentally, allowing us to MOVE ON & feel whatever else there is to feel.
that’s the mutable part of the interaction with our emotions.
