Meanings… mean Everything in Our World. Legends from the Philosophies of Elementary Natures. Herein. The Elements. Ways, Whats, Hows, Whys and so on. On and in many Subjects so applied. Elementary Explanations. Essential Essence.
Philosophies, Traditions, Martial Arts, Anime, Gaming-
Alls oft encourage the use of Elemental Topics,
Training and Memory Aids. Concepts that Symbolise Aspects
thereof. Therein as well.
Well as Helping to promote Understanding
of the Inner Workings and Theories within,.. The ELEMENTS
can oft be a useful Tool per se. In The Real.
For Everyone. To use.
Such with the
Elementary 101.
Elements. Essential
Guide,
is and now…
i, Shiro’s POV. Herein. As Belows. Begins:
A Set Of Five. Elements. Wood, Fire, Earth, Void, Water.
The Elements so nomened/named.
Cosmological, Philosophical, Societal, Martial.
Mores.
Many, most of the such Researched
in Our World. Legends
within utilise the Concept of The
Elements 5.
As Belows. ( A GO-DAI…)
五大
Japanese Nomen: The 5 (…Go…) Great Ones… (…-Dai…).
♦ EARTH
♦ FIRE
♦ WATER
♦ WIND/air/wood
♦ VOID/spirit/metal
The 5 are oft used in Sets/Pairs/Triples.
To highlight differences amongst sameness.
Whilst Many Understand that there are Two
Sides to every story…
In the Real… oft 3. Sides.
Positive/Neutral/Negative…
Health Effects and so on.
Yours/Others/Mine… POV’s for example.
Up/Centred/Down… Directions etc.
The 5 Elements move freely within the ” Sides ”
dependent on… POV.
This may be better understood with a
Basic Combat Fight Scenario.
E.g. Attacker surprise frontal Technique/Punch/Kick,
then attempting to Grab/Hold You = Fire…
then Earth.
You Evade the frontal, then distract by calling over
imaginary friends and Run = Wind… then Void.
or
You evade, then crash back in to finish. = In Water.
The Elements are thus and so… Fluid, Flowing from One
to the next or Other etc… dependent on Your Reaction,
Theirs
and such combos. Therein.
Elements can be linked with… Anything actually.
Emotions, Actions, Reactions, Objects, POV’s.
When Angry… Fiery.
When Calm… Earthy.
When Indecisive… Windy.
When Cunning… In The Void.
When Give and Taking… Watery.
Most and Many are Combos.
Moving perhaps from One to Next and along.
Fluid, responsive.
