| The third excerpt represents the element of Water. It speaks of pure spiritual influences and feelings of love, and is drawn from The Koran: you from one soul; then He made from it its mate; and He sent down
upon you of the cattle four pairs! He creates you in the bellies of
your mothers,-creation after creation, in three darknesses. That is
God for you! His is the kingdom, there is no god but He; how then
can ye be turned away?
If ye be thankless, yet is God independent of you. He is not pleased
with ingratitude in His servants; but if ye give thanks, He is pleased
with that in you. But no burdened soul shall bear the burden of
another; then unto your Lord is your return, and He will inform you of
that which ye have done. Verily, He knows the natures of men's
breasts!

The fourth excerpt represents the element of Earth. It speaks of physical influences and the impact of the unseen on the visible world, and is drawn from The Tanach: 1_Samuel 18: 1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
1_Samuel 18: 2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
1_Samuel 18: 3 Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul.
1_Samuel 18: 4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his apparel, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
1_Samuel 18: 5 And David went out; whithersoever Saul sent him, he had good success; and Saul set him over the men of war; and it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
1_Samuel 18: 6 And it came to pass as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments.
1_Samuel 18: 7 And the women sang one to another in their play, and said: Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
1_Samuel 18: 8 And Saul was very wroth, and this saying displeased him; and he said: 'They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands; and all he lacketh is the kingdom!'
