Is there a significant metaphorical-mapping between the classical-mythic "Four Elements" and the awakening-awareness aspects of Attention + Acceptance + Affirmation? Maybe just symbol play-poetry:
- Fire = Mindfulness → time-energy, spirit, thought, meta, ...
- Water = Nonattachment → force, change, process, transform, turn, flow, go, ...
- Air = Oneness → open, soft, full, invisible-yet-seen, space, ...
... and if so, where then is Earth? — the foundational slow-solid-stolid substrate on which being-itself exists?
Perhaps this is just an amusing diversion, at most marginally useful in creative discovery of more patterns, or as a mnemonic device? (Or not!)
