The People

When in touch with the earth, one can appear stunned, like stone. When in touch with water, there is shedding of tears. When in connection with the fire element, there is perspiration. When in touch with air, there is trembling, faltering of voice, and standing of bodily hairs on end. Contact with sky or ether produces loss of external consciousness. Those who conduct themselves this way are worthy of our earnest attention. From Volume Three, Number One, 1990.
