| The first excerpt represents the element of Air. It speaks of mental influences and the process of thought, and is drawn from Concerning Christian Liberty by Martin Luther: in a show of godliness, but never attain to its power.
Meanwhile they please themselves with this zealous pursuit, and
even dare to judge all others, whom they do not see adorned with
such a glittering display of works; while, if they had been
imbued with faith, they might have done great things for their
own and others' salvation, at the same cost which they now waste
in abuse of the gifts of God. But since human nature and natural
reason, as they call it, are naturally superstitious, and quick

works proposed to them, and since nature is also exercised and
confirmed in the same view by the practice of all earthly

The second excerpt represents the element of Fire. It speaks of emotional influences and base passions, and is drawn from U. S. Project Trinity Report by Carl Maag and Steve Rohrer: the cloud had passed over or near the 1,400-meter area and only
partially over the 9,150-meter area where the north shelter was
located. Subsequent ground surveys of this area found no gamma
intensities higher than 0.02 R/h (1).
Gamma radiation levels at and around ground zero were much higher than
in other onsite areas because of induced activity in the soil.
Twenty-four hours after the detonation, the gamma intensity at ground
zero was estimated to be 600 to 700 R/h. This estimate was based on
data provided by the tank crew that drove to ground zero to obtain
soil samples. The intensity decreased to about 2 R/h at 725 meters
from ground zero. Gamma intensities of 0.1 R/h or more were confined
