Fig. 1.3.8 «Reversed» Three of Disks. Plasma. Not ordered Matter.43
.
A separate place in this classification is occupied by amorphous substances.44
Such as, for instance, glass, marble, paraffin, polyethylene, etc.
Their atomic structure has features of both liquids and solids.
Therefore, glass or marble slowly «flows» and loses its original form.
But the speed of these processes is so slow (under a heavy weight, a marble beam «flows» millimeters over millennia) that, to human senses, they may be regarded as unchanged.
That is, as an «Upright» Three of Disks.
Although this isn’t exactly the case.
.
The defining feature of the Three of Disks – the ordering of Matter (or Finance).
.
Four of Disks
.
Human: I am the Lord of Nature!
Nature: Well, so be it, my Lord. Take your crown.
.
«Fours», according to the Kabbalah, represent nature and all things natural, simple forms.
Recall that Disks are the Earth Element – everything related to Material or Financial matters.
That which you can actually touch and feel in reality, like Matter.
Or the Financial aspect of Being.
Thus, the Four of Disks is Matter in its «simple», natural form.
Or a simple form of Finance.
A boulder or a coin, for example.
.
Please, note:
A «simple» form is an indivisible form, which doesn’t consist of numerous other forms.
A «complex» form is one that can be taken apart and put back together again, like a lego constructor set, without destroying its individual elements. A «complex» form is usually called a «formation».
