The Book of Air
Axiom of Air:
I am Air.
I am the gentle breeze.
I am the fierce storm.
I am the most unrestricted thing on earth.
I move without hindrance from anything, even gravity.
Suddenly, and without warning, i will have slipped to, and past you.
I can be soft as feathers, and still as powerful as a full grown bull.
And i am everywhere, always.
Wherever you move, i will be there right beside you.
I am the substance of wings and wind.
I am Air.
Teach yourself, to be like air.
To be fluid in your motions and your speech. To have a spirit that flows as pure and unrestricted as a feather fringed leaf through the air.
What would it be like if you could learn to be like an Airbender? What would it be like if you could move like an Airbender? Fleet of feet with the coordination of a virtuoso ballroom dancer. To move with a quick tempo and still contain all the grace of the wind.
The character of Airbending has alot to teach people in the art of being free of restrictive boundaries and more adapted to footsteps that walk the swift path of change.
The Definition of:
Air - The invisible gaseous substance surrounding the earth, a mixture mainly of oxygen and nitrogen. Gas - a substance or matter in a state in which it will expand freely to fill the whole of a container, having no fixed shape (unlike a solid) and no fixed volume (unlike a liquid)
Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid liquid, and plasma). A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms, & elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide). A gas mixture, such as air, contains a variety of pure gases. What distinguishes a gas from liquids and solids is the vast separation of the individual gas particles. This separation usually makes a colorless gas invisible to the human observer. The interaction of gas particles in the presence of electric and gravitational fields are considered negligible, as indicated by the constant velocity vectors in the image.
The gaseous state of matter occurs between the liquid and plasma states, the latter of which provides the upper temperature boundary for gases. Bounding the lower end of the temperature scale lie degenerative quantum gases
Gas-phase particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) move around freely in the absence of an applied electric feild.
The Qualities of Air
Always on the move. Pas particles rarely stop moving, which means large bodies of gas are always moving back and fourth in some way.
It’s lighter than earth. Lighter than water. Lighter of the two fluid forms of matter. The Lightest form of Physical Matter. extends 6k miles high ky””.
- Sits on the ocean just as it sits on the earth/ The Second heaven of Fluids
- Is one of the easiest moving forms of matter. Without any hindrance it circles that globe 10 times before the waters of the globe circle it once.
- Is the most random of the forms of matter
- Even though it is the randomest forms of matters, its particular/special movements can bring about some of the most powerful forces of nature. Changes and the flow of wind patterns, create weather across the globe...with help from the sun, and moisture from water... Movement of gas can create storms, gales...
- Always on the move. Gas particles rarely stop moving. which means.. large bodies of gas are always in some way moving back and fowarth
- Gas can extend itself to massive perportions. The sky is at thousands of miles in height 6k... Which means gas has the ability to extend itself to almost inconceivable perportions
gas is good at being even. It always seeks an equilibrium. constantly seeks equilibrium like water. it sweeps in, between a high and low, and makes wind
-the density of air can vary greatly
has the property of fluidity, under the action of external forces they will flow and adapt their shapes to that of their containers
Air is....
Air is weightless. The lightest form of matter known to mankind. We might not be aware of it all the time, but we humans live in air everyday of our lives from the time we are born, to the time we must pass on. We have lived in air, We almost inevitably have traveled through air. And we have built our empires in air. SkyScrapers that rise hundreds of thousands of feet into the sky, and whose tops still rest easy at the top of the world, in air.
We forget air maybe because it is not always so noticeable. A translucent ether. No color to it. No smell, or taste. It would be easy to see how it could be forgotten.
To teach yourself to be like air.....
Air is translucent. You can see though it, to the next thing of the world. It is omniscient, it hovers above all things on earth. Travels the globe high above all life. It is the color, the substance, that all things are embraced with. Softly. Abundantly, without shortage. And funny enough, it is the form of matter, that no living thing can do without.
It might be necessary to embrace those concepts around you. Embrace the concepts of the world. The 7 colors. The Earth. The mountains, plains and fields. The grasslands and forests. The oceans lakes and rivers. The trees and flowers, and grass. The people of civilization. The animals of nature. See over it all. See that it exists, and has existed. See that i operates how it does, going about certain types of heartbeats and patterns for each individual system. Embrace the concepts of the world. Whatever those concepts might be, embrace the concepts that fill the world around us. And in doing so, our minds can easily drift across the planet, and pass through every living thing on earth.
Air is easy. If it is still, you can see how it hangs above the world, in perfect peace. Could you teach yourself to bring all the emotions and thoughts of your world to a standstill? To sit as a wispy cloud might, on a windless day, above the ground without touching a thing,.. and yet perfectly still. Let an imprint of your mind body and soul simple exist and drift in the slight of peace,
Air is random. It is easily one thing, as it is the next. It is diverse, and changeable. Begin to think how easily it is for you to change direction. To continue in one direction, with much confidence, and then in the very next moment, go in another direction with just as much 100% confidence.
Air is Big(expansion).How much time have you held, in your life? If the breaths of the seconds, and minutes and hours onto days, weeks, months, and years were to be expelled from your skin pores like a fountain of wind into your surroundings... how far would those breaths extend? Would your breaths make a small cloud? only a few meters in diameter? Or maybe they would extend for miles around in all directions.. climb the sky for hundreds of feet.
Gas always seeks equilibrium. A natural fact. (like water)
The Spirit of Air
If the world was far wide, just far and wide would you expect it to be. To say that it is far and wide. That you can look from miles from any place you might be. Look from sea to shining sea. What thing above the surface of the land isn’t touched by the hand of the sky? That gaseous element we call air. It is everywhere. Almost unequivocally meant in the literal sense. Air is everywhere.
If associated with the human character, I would think air would be closest associated with the character trait of the thought process. Not the actual thought process, as discussed in the element of fire.
But the thoughts and ideas that are shared inbetween the minds of thinking individuals. Something hat is invisible. Something that exists without a trace. But is very much there.
If you think about it. That is an idea...haha. Just kidding.
For a better more well rounded word, around the point of meaning i am defining this towards. My best reference to describing the spirit of air in one word is this; a concept.
A concept is something that is there that can be grasped by basically any living being, with half a mind to reach out and grasp it. And although they do not belong exclusively within the confines of the human body, it is concepts that will find there way into the lives of all people everywhere.
Sounds like Air?

This is the prototype of the book of Air. Not finished Yet, but i am working on finishing it bit by bit. Eventually i should have all the qualities and concepts fleshed out and filled up into a complete document.
This is what i have so far though. Although its clearly not done, i figure some of you might be able to see alittle where i am going with the thing.
I figured i might as well post it, and let you guys see what peices of this puzzle of mine i have put together already..
See if you like it, or if maybe you would have something to critik, something you would add... or maybe something you could take away from it.
Posting it for you guys.
Hope you like it!!!
