According to Traditional Chines Medicine, there are 5 elements: wood, metal, water, fire, air.
According to the chakra system there are 5 physical elements: earth, water, fire, air, ether (space).
And these elements make up what we consider to be physical life on the planet. Physical life on the physical plane in the physical universe on any planet.
Why do we love to gaze into a fire? Watch the ocean? Listen to nature? Take hikes? Enjoy vistas?
Elementally my dear Watson! We love the elements. Because we are the elements. We are looking for ourselves in the elements. We are trying to see and recognize our Self.
This is why we try to find things that we "resonate" with. Things that we "align" with. Because we see our Selves. We remember what we have forgotten, whether it be a momentary lapse or lifetimes of darkness.
We are in all that is around us. It's elemental. And whether we stare into a fire, an ocean, or check out the prairie, whether we are captivated with the antics of a child, the plot of a book, or the gadgets that someone thought to make that now we can't seem to live without, we resonate, we respond. We are constantly seeking remembrance. We crave the feeling of resonance so we can remember the song of our Self. And this is a song we can't sing out loud or even talk about. But I know you know what I'm talking about. And that part that we can't really talk about, is exactly what i'm talking about.
So study the ocean, the fire, the vistas, the bugs, the trees. Feel the mud, the water, the heat, the cold, the air, the space. We are the elements of earth, water, fire, air, ether. We are also mind and beyond, which is why we are fascinated with them. Which is why we seek to recognize our Source, our Self. Because we have Mind and Beyond. My dog doesn't recognize himself. He sees himself in the reflection of the sliding glass door, and he doesn't recognize himself. He barks at the strange dog outside of himself.
He is not seeking recognition of his own elements. He just is. He's just doing dog things. He doesn't question those dog things that he does. He doesn't think, "what if I did fish things?" He just does what he does. We humans on the other hand, have the gift of discernment. Of pondering. Of recognizing the self. and the Self. We recognize our self in the mirror. And then, perhaps, we end up barking at all the other aspects outside of ourselves as if we are barking at that strange dog in the sliding glass door. Because perhaps we are here, seeking to recognize our Self in the big mirror around us that is our Life.
