Whose Line is it Anyway[edit]

I hope that's a joke (above).

I'm just wondering why this isn't called the "Axiom of Carl"? This article might be valuable to more people than Jungheads if someone could get over here and explain what the quote meant in the opinion of the original quoter. That would be neat. Not to mention logical. Sugarbat (talk) 05:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since the quote is only attributed to Maria Prophettisa, it is rather difficult to determine what it meant to Maria. The quote comes from a book by Marcellin Berthelot, Collection des anciens alchemistes grecs. Paris, 1887-88.Joan Anderson (talk) 03:50, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Air is a gas. Without air, there is no fire. Fire is useless, unless used as a catalyst to manipulate earth, clay becomes pottery. The pot is used to transport water, from out of the pot comes the water. If you read the ten commandments in relation to the philosophical elements, you get told not to look for g. in earth air water: but in a burning bush. Fire is the central element in monotheism. To the philosophers, it represents the structures of thinking, to the caballists it´s the force of will. Air/creativity fans the fire, water extinguishes it, earth is related to fire as the catalyst. In eastern philosophy, they distinguish earth into metal and wood, according to the different effects fire has on different kinds of matter.

Fire and earth represent the powers of order, kosmos. Water and air represent chaos. Fire is destrutive order, soldiers and police. Earth is constructive order, peasants. Water is destrutive to destructive order, from water comes life. Air supports destructiveness, evil chaos, science and creativity are not religion´s best friend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.35.63.138 (talk) 18:02, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sister of Moses?[edit]

How is she from near or in the 3rd Century CE, and yet called the Sister of Moses (circa 1400 BCE)? Misty MH (talk) 01:01, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
