Dear Martin, I would assign the four pillars thus: KNOWLEDGE - Air COURAGE - Water (as courage is an emotive quality) VOLITION - Fire (as volition is the application of the Will) SILENCE - Earth I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to explain why silence is related to the element of earth - the assignment is more due to deduction/elimination rather than an actual understanding of why on my part. Actually, I'm having a few problems with getting to grips with the earth element in any case!
