List of Elements of difficult to classify objects

[Frase]

Hi, I may have missed something, but is it possible to have a list of objects that are 'difficult' to classify into their elemental categories e.g. Hard Plastic being the element metal.
Suggestions:
Rubber
Leather
Soft Plastic (but thick, like some flexible
food containers).
Glass
Fur
Cotton
Hard Plastic
Plastic Bags
Laminates.
Computers, televisions, radios
Foam (Synthetic cushion foam) - like used
with cheap mattresses
What element are humans and animals?
and any others you can think of that I can't.

Dear Fraser,
Usually, symbolism takes precedence over the material of the object. For example, if it is a wooden pyramid; we should consider it of the fire element as it has a pointed top.
Secondly, the colour of the object usually also takes precedence over the material used. For example, if it is a red plastic chair, we should consider it as a fire element.
One important point to note is that we should not be overly concerned with every `small' object we find around us. As a guide, we should consider objects that are 33.3 percent of the overall size of the room or area as having an impact on us. Otherwise, one should not concern ourselves with it.
The same is not true if you are placing an object that looks like a `monster' or any other suspicious image in the shape or outline of these `unusual objects'.
Otherwise, it should be ok.
On a person's body, we can still apply the 33.3 percent `rule'. For example, a red cotton shirt can thus have an impact on us.

As mentioned above, the shape and colour usually takes precedence over the material used.
For example, a black plastic container takes symbolic significance of Water element (black = water element colour)

Glass
Here again, the shape plays an important part. Generally glass can be classified under the earth element because the material comes from the earth. But multi-faceted cut glass can take on the symbolic significance of water element.
Fur
Cotton
Hard Plastic
Plastic Bags
Laminates.

As mentioned, shape and colour takes precedence over the material.

Computers, televisions, radios
Usually, this is considered under the water element because of electricity. Here again, shape and colour does play apart.
Foam (Synthetic cushion foam)
- like used
with cheap mattresses
Usually, these are additions or the underlining materials used to `built' the object. For example, it does not matter if the material used in a chair is made of foam. What is more important is the external cover e.g. the material used for the furniture, the design of the fabric and colour.
What element are humans and
animals?

If one has read the Pillars of Destiny sample report, you will find a `breakdown' on the various elements. Some of us have more of one element than the other.
Here, Pillars of Destiny tries to map out all our elements (five - all five if any).
You can thus say that each of us should have a balance of all the elements. If not, we need to seek a balance.
Warmest Regards,
