What element would be aligned with Se?

[Rickus]

I'm curious which of the four elements would fit Se the best? It is sort of a contradiction in that it is connected to concrete reality, which I would link to Earth, yet the personality of Earth is introverted and too serious, while Se is spontaneous and fun-loving. Could it be Air or Fire? Which one would make the most sense?

IMO:

Earth => Si

Water => Ni

Fire => Se

Air => Ne

 

[Rickus]

I like that!

[Rickus]

I also think the following would then apply

Ti = Earth

Fi = Water

Te = Air

Fe = Fire

[Luna]

YES!! I 100% agree with you. I think Fire is Fe and Se

[Rickus]

But then again mine seems somewhat misaligned. Like Si Earth and Se Fire would probably translate to Fi Earth and Fe Fire. Ni Water and Ne Air would probably translate to Ti Water and Te Air.

I feel like when it comes to zodiac signs though, Fi relates to Water and Ti to Earth. But the mythology of Fi seems more connected to the Earth, Nature, birds and beasts and Ti is linked to the Void and to Crystals and Ice, which fits Water.

Wait wait wait wait I wanna reply to this, I have a whole list/table I've made, since like 2-5 years ago (yeah it was being constantly updated). This was before I ever set afoot on CT.

Just wanna say I don't agree with everything entirely!!!!

But sadly my life has been far too busy. I hope you guys give me a chance to reply at some point 😀

lol just keep going though.

I do not think associations can be made with the J axis.

To me, Se brings both Earth and Fire at the same time. In order to explain it better, I'll break down Se's characteristics:

1. Se's Concrete and Precise Perception of Reality → Earth 🪨
2. Se's Concrete Enjoyment, Exploration, Expansiveness, Freedom, Spontaneity → Fire 🔥

 

If we analyze the definition of Sensation (by CT) at it's core, we can notice S is pretty much Earth focused 🪨

Let's remember it!

→ Registering mental objects as discontinuous and discrete:

1. Being cognizant of the informational starts and ends of objects
2. Treating a concept or idea as a localized dataset
3. Modeling mental objects as specific with finite ranges
4. Registering objects as particle-like
5. Having a sharp and focused description of a concept or idea, without ambiguity
6. Handling variables as definite amounts or quantities; single-meaning

Also, if we analyze the definition of iNtuition (by CT) at it's core, we can notice N is pretty much Air Focused 💨

→ Registering mental objects as continuous and non-discrete

1. Treating mental objects as lacking a definite informational boundary
2. Giving a dispersed and unspecific perimeter to a concept or idea
3. Registering objects as wave-like
4. Modeling ideas as existing in a superposition, rather than a specific position
5. Perceiving objects as having a hazy, gradated self-extension or influence
6. Having multi-meaning, rather than single-meaning

That's my take 😉
