You are right Kixie,
     A true student of life, takes the Philosophers teachings, and reads between the lines. All metaphors are meant to induce thought, and not to be taken literally. As was said earlier in this thread, you can not take but one path; you must combine all to become one with the universe. This is the goal of most of the peaceful Philosophers. The messages that they have left us are as true today as they were when said, the language may be different, but the meaning withstands the test of time. If you look at any of the respected and followed Philosophers from any time period, you will find that under all of the symbolism and metaphors the message is basically the same.


I think Bobby McFarlane said it best “don’t worry, be happy “

Remember I was just interpretting your phiosophies. That doesn't mean I follow them, as a matter of fact I follow my own path.
"Don't kill the messenger" as a wise guy once said.

What happens when you cool down Molten rock can only exist for a long period within it's own realm. If it touches the surface it will quickly destroy everything in it's path and then become no more. That actually sounds like the stereotype of "destructive" or "evil". Destructiveness can only live on chaos but if it touches a passive surface(monks, lands) it is either soothed or destroys itself(over a short or long period of time)[Like the element of molten rock .v.s Water and Air]

Thats a look at it from the "modernist perspective" that includes much knowledge about volcanoes and lava. In the philosophy however lava, or more acuratly the volcano, is more like the Christian God. It is the embodiement of all the elements fire(the hot lava), earth(even way back then they new lava cooled to rock), wind(the volcanic gasses and ash), and water(molten lava is fluid like water). the main crux of the Diaganess(sp) Philosophy is that in order to create something new (or for something new to be created at all) you must destroy something that is old. IE: The famous "the thread is destroyed to make the rug" metaphore

For the record this was the guy that supposedly saved an entire city by asking Alexander to "step aside you are blocking my sun".

Ah, so you're the Grim Reaper, but from an elemental perspective

Err no the guy was realy a pacifist. His teachings can be more than a little dificult to understand if your not willing to think outside the box (sometimes way outside). He wasn't called "The Mad Socrates" for nothing you know.

I was just playing with you, of course this has a purpose. And I was simply playing with you on the last post. I love to play! I see what you're meaning. Fores-fires harvest new forests for example, they're a part of the echo system in australia, actually. Like a Pheonix, a flower can rise from the ashes and bring home to new life.

[hitancrias]

Err, I'll be a human.

Good choice, more or less like the wisdom of the Japanese Stonecutter.

Within my lifetime, dams can be built, rivers can be diverted, and the rain can be kept out by a roof.  Meanwhile, the water is (as far as I can see) only having a hypothetical effect on the rocks around it.

Stone FTW!

I don't see what's hypothetical about it.

Water never changes, it is never destroyed, stones can be changed or melted.

Lies. I learned this one back in 4th grade.

Evaporation. Condensation. Collection.

Water gets owned everyday

[Baldur]

Guess im being modernistic again but water isn't destroyed, it's only made into other shapes. The water evaporates though the fog consists of waterdrops.
Whatever, I don't see this as important.
My writing poorly explains what I meant in my last post, what I mean is...Ah, screw it, I have no clue what i'm talking about
Stone is an impure source(If we have to discuss it in modern terms ) It can be divided into metal and fire naturally(homogenus substitutes) while water is a pure source naturally, though please don't lower yourself to discussing molecular structures, please

Roughly earth is pure because the metals and stuff on earth belong to the earth element, I just needed to point out that nothing is what it seems like if you mix up modernistic views with spiritualistic.

[Astraea]

Baldur, are you referring to the laws of thermodynamics? That energy cannot be created or destroyed? It would make sense that way, since it can apply to matter as well.
