Every persons personality can be described with the elements.there actions,thought,fighting style,way of living is based on the elemental manifestations. There are five elemental manifestations people use them to describe mother earth and how it works others(like the ninja)put it in there everyday lives. The five elements are:
Ku- "the emptiness" or "the nothing" this is the base where everything in the universe is created.
Fu- "the wind" elements in the gaseous state
Ka- "fire" elements in the energy releasing state
Sui- "water" elements in the fluid state
Chi "earth elements in the solid state
When learning of the universe or "the force" it is stressed that ku the emptiness is where everything began and where the other elements take place and where the elements fit in the human body. Chi the eath element stresses the teeth,bones,muscle and other bodily tissue. Sui "water" is the liquids or the fluids of the body.ka "fire" is the warmth and temperature of the body plus the metabolism. Fu "wind" is the breaths and the process of breathing the movement of air within the body functions and the breathing cycles of others. Ku "emptiness" is sound and speech plus the ability to communicate with others and the world.
The five elemental manifestations come as physical matter around us in the stages of evolution of the personality within the self. We all bounce between one elemental and the other all the time that is what is described as our "moods" or "mood swings"
In the earth level of the personality we are aware of our solid physicality and stability. There is always a resistance to change and movement,and the need to maintain things exactly as they are.rocks are the most noticeable character of the earth personality due to the fact that they are incapable of growth, movement or change with out assistance of the other elements.when are personality is at the earth level of manifestation we try our best to keep things "exactly" as they are.and we are aware of the solid parts of the body. Chi,the earth element has its center point at the lower part of the spine and the color red is under this influence.
When our personality is under the influence of the water "sui" we are stressed along the lines of our emotions and the fluid parts of the body. This is characterized by reactions to different changes and a fluid adaptation to ones surroundings. Plants is the best example of the water element. because plants are always moving and "changing"and are unable to control there environment. When under the influence of the water element you "go with the flow" and react to what you encounter. And are centered around the heavy emotions."sui" the water element has its center in the abdomen and it is associated with the color orange.
At the fire influence of the elements we are concerned with our "aggression" which means our dynamic or explosive and expansive energy. And not for violent nature. Our we show our feelings with enjoyment and warmth and full control over our environments. Animals are the best example of the fire element because they are able to remember and think.exerting control over their lives and trying to find "pleasure' in things.when we are under the "ka" fire element we are aware of our energy and our expansiveness,dynamic power and our reasoning faculties. It has its center at the lower part of the breast bone and the color yellow is associated with this expansive,agressive influence.
At the wind level of our personalities we are aware of our own intellect and benevolence and the feelings of wisdom and love.Humans are the highest example of the wind element in that they are capable of learning and understanding and love. When we are under the "Fu" stage we experience love compassion acceptance and our conscious consideration of our interactions with individuals. It has its center in the middle of the chest and the color green represents this benevolent influence.
And finally the most refined of the physical elements ku the "emptiness of potential. Also called by the westerners as the "ethereal substance" this emptiness is best represented by concept of subatomic structure. Invisible bits of energy form atoms which in turn combine to form the entire range of material things in existence. In the personality the emptiness brings about the creativeness and the ability to become any of the four lower elemental manifestations. ku the "source" of all elements is centered at the throat and the color blue is associated with the highest element.
The best way to understand what is written is to put all of this into your very day actions become aware of your elemental states and your place within the force and the universe.
