Others may disagee, but it sounds like you might be confusing the elements (fire, water, earth, air, and ether) and the levels (physical, astral, mental). Further, it seems that you are also confining the element "earth" to the physical level alone. It might help if rather than thinking of these things in the abstract, you find some experiences to tie them to, to make them real for yourself. This was my own mistake as I've recently discovered. mj --- In BardonPraxis@yahoogroups.com, Newbieonekenhobby <newbieonekenhobby@y...> wrote: > Oops.
