THE 5 ELEMENTS

The 5 elements are not considered to be static conditions. Each wholeness consists also of the 5 changing phases and each element contains Yin and Yang aspects. The elemental phases are connected with each other and exist in a balanced state towards each other or can pass into the next phase. In order to keep that balance despite external influences there exists a mutual support and positive control. This ensures that none of the elements will be able to overtake another or be suppressed by another. Which brings us back to the beginning of the observation of nature and the unity with nature. The highest of wisdom tells us to learn from nature and to live in tune with nature.

In which interdependency the 5 elements are, is shown in the circle of the phases of transformation.
