Classical 5 Elements – Sound of Fire: Tetrahedron – Ancient Greece Meditation Music

There were five basic elements in the Ancient Greece: – Earth (γῆ ge), – Water (ὕδωρ hudor), – Air (ἀήρ aer), – Fire (πῦρ pur), – Aether (αἰθήρ aither). These five elements were sometimes associated with the five platonic solids. Indeed, it was Plato that used the term ’element (στοιχεῖον, stoicheion)’ for the first time. However, Aristotle described each of the four elements by the two of the four sensible qualities. His ’On Generation and Corruption’ states: – Fire is both hot and dry, – Air is both hot and wet, – Water is both cold and wet, – Earth is both cold and dry. What’s more, Aristotle also added a fifth element (called ’aether’). His reasoning was that fire, earth, air, and water were earthly and corruptible, so the stars cannot be made out of any of the four elements. Instead, they must be made of a different, unchangeable, heavenly substance. ▶ Explore the new dimension of Zen Subscribe Zen Meditation Planet Channel to get more inspiration!
