Elemental opposites
Earth smothers Fire; Fire burns / melts rock and tree.
Intellect and Emotion duly battle; Air and Water combine to create?
But…
Perhaps instead of being two Elements in opposition, they are two extreme blossoming of the same Element.
Earth goeswith Fire; Air goeswith Water.
This is about recognising the oneness of everything; the Source.

Obvious opposites
Water rarely burns; yet oli does, and fire is fluid and explosions can create H2O.
Emotion + Desire / Will create incredible momentum.
Air is light and inspired, Earth is heavy and stable. Both are creative in their own ways.
Intellect + Generation support creation!
Yet it seems obvious that Water quenches Fire, and Air is above Earth, and so many consider these to be opposite elements.
But…
Again, what if Water and Fire are the manifestations of a single element, the ends of a spectrum of WaterFire? Water goeswith Fire.
What if Air and Earth and the manifestations of the single AirEarth element? Air goeswith Earth.
We see the four manifestations, but only because our perceptions and assumptions often limit us. We compartmentalise reality so that we can manage our mental model of how things work. But it’s only ever a model. We rarely live beyond the veil.

Obvious relations
Just as many people believe in the opposition of elements, many believe in the natural relations bonding Earth and Water, Air and Fire.
Fire needs Air, Air is lifted by Fire. Earth and Water have an intermingled relationship that is both complex and simple.
But…
How about these ‘obvious’ relations help us see that the pairings are showing us the mere manifestations of a greater element. Earth is the extreme end of the EarthAir spectrum.
Earth does not exist without Air.
Let us remember that cold does not exist. Only heat exists, and we measure it via temperature. We cannot and do not measure ‘cold’ for that is only and merely a subjective perception. We measure energy and its absence.

Manifestations of the underlying Source
Each Element goeswith each Element.
This is a model. The reality is subtle.

Oh! Imagine the model if used eight or thirteen or 144,000 Elements!

If we worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true really is true, then there would be little hope for advance.
