The document discusses the elements and assigning traits to them. It notes that a lack of assertiveness could be due to the air, earth, or water elements depending on the underlying reason. When one person asked for resources to better understand the elements for soul mirror work, many irrelevant suggestions were given. The best resource for understanding the elements and assigning traits to them is the writings of Bill, as much of what has been written about the elements in recent centuries has been speculative.

If you are not assertive because you are afraid of hurt- ing others, it is a vice of the water element. One time on an online Bardon chat group, a member making his soul mirrors asked for re- sources that would help him understand the el- ements better so he would have the knowledge needed to accurately assign the various items to the elements. I remember people were rec- ommending random writings by Rudolf Steiner, Swami Vivekananda, Aleister Crowley, and Dion Fortune, along with other bizarre suggestions like The Kyballion.
