And his Pillars: [Intellect, Acumen, Understanding, Preservation, and Knowledge].

And his Elements: [Fire, Light, Air, and Water].

And his Form: [Of clay, so he looks by the Light, and eats and drinks by the Fire, and smells and hears and moves by the Wind, and finds taste and flavor by the Water].

So if the believer becomes pure, his spirit ascends to its world from which it began.

And dust returns to dust, and every element to its element.
