WATER: Whether more (relative to most) basic or less (relative to least) advanced, water is the chemical, or feminine, element stretching from lunar to oceanic in geologic primacy, and from tongue to womb in personal supremacy, being of volume-mass devolution and thus either realistic (negative) or nonconformist (positive), in both sensuality and sensibility. Water is also the element of spirit par excellence, being supernatural in its molecular-particle retort to the elemental particles of fire, the anti-natural (metachemically unnatural) element par excellence. Thus its association with glory, the spiritual emanation from any given will, and in the feminine context of chemistry such glory can only be either humble (negative) or proud (positive), both of which are the principal, or first-rate, manifestations of goodness. Thus water is the 'good element' par excellence, the one that is both spiritual and glorious to a greater extent than any other element.

WAVICLES: Life (and antilife) is divisible, in both primary and secondary contexts, between particles and wavicles, as between will and spirit on the particle side, and ego and soul on the wavicle side, this latter being further divisible, like its particle counterpart, between molecular and elemental subdivisions of any given element, be it metachemical, chemical, physical, or metaphysical. For wavicles are either qualitative (and egocentric) or essential (and psychocentric), being of the self conceived psychologically and psychically. In the male elements of vegetation and air they are subjective and primary, whereas in the female elements of fire and water they are objective and secondary.

WILL: The function of the not-self (any not-self) to do, whether metachemically, chemically, physically, or metaphysically, in relation to the spirit. Hence before a spiritual emanation can be anticipated from any given element, there must first be the will of the not-self relative to that spirit, which causes it to emanate. Since the will is everywhere, in all elements, associated with power, it is the most basic (negative) and/or least advanced (positive) manifestation of behaviour, the behaviour that does rather than gives, takes, or is. Thus it is ever evil, whether on the first-rate basis (expressive) of metachemistry, the unnatural (anti-natural) element par excellence; on the second-rate basis (compressive) of chemistry, the supernatural element par excellence; on the third-rate basis (depressive) of physics, the natural element par excellence; or on the fourth-rate basis (impressive) of metaphysics, the subnatural element par excellence. Only in the anti-natural unnaturalism of metachemistry, or fire, is the will in its per se and therefore most evil manifestation. Such a manifestation is commensurate with materialist (negative) and/or fundamentalist (positive) science.

WINTER: Chemical season of the year par excellence, during which water is the prevailing element.

WOE: The psychocentric counterpart to joy, woe is the negative (cosmic) manifestation of metaphysical emotion, being the condition of metaphysical anticontentment (primary) and metaphysical antiglory (secondary), the soulful and spiritual manifestations of idealistic being and giving respectively.

WOMAN: The opposite of man, woman is feminine and purgatorial in phenomenal objectivity, whereas man is masculine and earthy in phenomenal subjectivity, whether in the outer sense of sensuality or in the inner sense of sensibility. Thus woman is of volume-mass devolution, a watery creature who corresponds to realism (negative) and to nonconformism (positive), the former devolving from lunar to oceanic in geologic primacy, the latter devolving from tongue to womb in personal supremacy. Being phenomenal, woman is a punishing/just rejection of the crime/cruelty of the Devil, viz. superfemininity in sensuality and/or subfemininity in sensibility, and is thus good rather than evil in her lower-class (phenomenal) nature or, more correctly, watery supernaturalism. She is the epitome of glory.

WORLD: Unlike Limbo, the world is a phenomenal mixture of purgatorial and earthly, feminine and masculine elements, and therefore a compromise between water and vegetation, whether in terms of sensuality (volumetric volume over massive mass) or in terms of sensibility (voluminous volume over massed mass). Thus the world can be Heathen or Christian, Protestant or Catholic, sensual or sensible, as well as a combination, to greater or lesser extents, of both.
