        The rock cycle
        
        heat/trial--> growing and cooling--> lifting--> weathering/breaking down--> compression--> new layers and new materials
        
        Patterns of applying pressure or breaking you down in order to create new forms and new growth.
        
        this is considered another beautiful contradiction. pressure and death for growth and new life. pressure for creativity and beauty
        
        Flora
        
        life blooms in community
        
        Life is dependant on the life around it
        
        your very existence has an effect on the people around you. You can't do it alone and your actions don't exist in a vaccum
        
        You receive life from the other elements
        
        water, light, stone, the fallen flora and fauna, Even fire (resets an area)
        
        Therefore we must learn from each other. Each element influences the other.
        
        When one plant sufferrs the whole forest suffers
        
        The effects are felt across the whole community
        
        life itself benefits other life forms around it
        
        Make sure to give back to your community with your gifts
        
        Death provides a foundation and nourishment for new life
        
        this is one of the Beautiful Contradictions
        
        Every plant is unique but it is part of a greater whole
        
        Each leaf is very different from each other but they all work together with all the other leaves to help the tree grow and to be healthy.
        
        When a leaf suffers the whole tree suffers
        
        Fauna/ shifters
        
        Community is important
        
        Adaptability is important
        
        home bases are important
        
        intelligences
        
        survival of the fittest
        
        This is a beautiful conflict with importance of giving back to community
        
        giving to the community is a means to satisfy the greed to live and survive
        
        Considered the most base of the cycles that represent the base need to survive
        
        Contrasts and conflicts with one of the other cycles
        
        new life--> grow up--> give birth to new life--> death
        
        Fire
        
        Water
        
        Light
        
        Electricity
        
        Do I need it?
        
        What about sound?
        
        Our ancestors are everywhere
        
        When they die they become nature
        
        Be thankful and respectful of nature
        
        Rituals
        
        Sing our love and a message to accompany our passing loved ones on their way back to the universe.
        
        Written and sung by those left behind
        
        There is an official one for those who don't have their own family to sing their way to the afterlife
        
        stomp dancing to create a rhythm that reverberates through the earth. This is a part of the parting message to their loved ones
        
        the burning of memorabilia so that it will join them in the afterlife
        
        The pain of letting those memorabilia go is part of the pain that reforms the soul
        
        Illusions/ images/ light show of the past to commemorate their history/ their life cycle
        
        They live on in a different way. Your ancestors travel with you.
        
        Death is the truest form of harmonization and considered the end of a Cycle
        
        When you break yourself down into the basic elements you are straddling the line between life and death. It is the closest you are to your ancestors.
        
        This is another beautiful opposite. Life and death coexisting at the same time
        
        Suicide is looked down upon
        
        All of nature has its own life cycle.
        
        Everything provides something to those around it during its lifespan. Then it benefits the community/space in death as it goes back to the earth.
        
        It is considered a waste and a very selfish move
        
        They chose their own feelings than the needs of the community
        
        Their cycle is not up yet
        
        Embracing the beauty of contradictions and opposites
      - Values
        
        Children
        
        Children are rare
        
        innocence of childhood is to be protected
        
        play and controlled shelter (think Japan)
        
        larger family units
        
        Examples in India or Latin America
        
        The beauty of coexisting oposites
        
        They believe themselves simultaneously evolved/elevated from the masses and very elemental and almost primordial. They evolved by going back to the very basic building blocks of life and harmonizing with them.
        
        Humans are simultaneously shackled by their ignorance (they are blind, deaf, and dumb to the reality of life) and wild almost beast-like in the chaos of their consumption. They take, take, take compelled by their base compulsions (greed, need for self improvement, insecurity, power grabs).
        
        Conflicting/ opposite elements in the same body
        
        Individuality in the elements but collective in how they apply them in society.
        
        They let kids be fairly individualistic but as they hit middleschool age they start bringing them into a collectivist mindset
        
        Collectivism
        
        Develop your individuality for the sake of the collective
        
        Your gifts must contribute to the greater whole
        
        this comes from early days of everyone needing to pitch in to ensure their survival.

        Particular mineral that reacts in certain environments to produce a particular chemical reaction
        
        Does the BBEG have to place this rock in a specific location with plentiful minerals from ddeeeeeeeeepppp within the earth to create a reaction?
        
        Does it act like a compass, reacting to a particular element?
        
        Does it become more reactive and volatile in close proximity to the same type of mineral or different mineral (that forms in really really hot/high pressure conditions)?
