Dear Martin (and Dan), >> Regarding the four pillars which Bardon mentions: "Knowledge, Courage, Volition and Silence [...] which are in accordance with the four elements..." Are the following correspondences correct? KNOWLEDGE - Air COURAGE - Fire VOLITION - Earth SILENCE - Water << On page 92 (question #15 in the Akasha section) of "Questions & Answers", Bardon gave the correlation thusly: Knowledge = Air Courage = Fire Volition = Water Silence = Earth Although this might seem counter-intuitive at first, if you read Bardon's explanation, it will make perfect sense. :) My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 19 April 2004 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe
