Re: [BardonPraxis] Magnetic & Electric Fluids

["Rawn Clark" <rawnclark@...>]

Dear Richard,

>> In the past I've tried to correlate Chinese/Taoist 5 element theory
with Bardons 4 element/2 fluid model. <<

As you probably know, I think that trying to correlate the
Chinese/Taoist model and the Hermetic model is a waste of time and a
fairly futile venture. This is especially true when you have yet to
truly experience the Elements and Fluids for yourself. I understand
that making the connection between the two is intellectually intended as
a way of increasing your understanding of an unfamiliar model, but in
truth, it does not help. The two systems are so different that in order
to truly understand either, you must take each on its own merits and
explore it separately from the other. If you expect the Chinese/Taoist
Elements when working with the Hermetic Elements, then you will miss
what the Hermetic Elements mean, and vice-a-versa.

In fact, I think one reason why most descriptions of the Hermetic
Elements and Fluids are so vague is because in order to truly understand
them you must *experience* them.

>> Tied in with those intellectual machinations, I was wondering whether
the electric/magnetic fluids appear in different grades or qualities, or
whether they only appear in a single, pure form, differing only in
quantity? <<

The four Elements *are* the "different grades or qualities" of the
Fluids.

My best to you,
