Am I correct (understanding that there is no such thing as a correct human in the face of the divine), to think that the same aspects that the elements represent (air, fire, water, earth) apply to all levels of the planes? For example, every being all the way up to the highest plane has a body, will/desire, intuition and mind, as well as spirit, except that the body of a god is different from the body of a human, and so on for each aspect.
If so, then I wonder if the different aspects separately connect all the way up, (will on a lower plane to will on a higher plane; mind on a lower plane to mind on a higher plane), such that if one were to look for a ternary, one could go up or down the planes. For example, I can look for a ternary on my possible levels within one element (a binary of two actions can be turned into a ternary by a third possible action), or on my possible levels using different elements (a binary between mind and body can be turned into a ternary by the will), which I have been doing with the glass bead oracle, but I also think it might be possible to reach up through the elements to make a ternary using a higher level of any of the elements of a higher being. For example, isn't this what happens when I attune myself to a force (say kindness) on a more spiritual level, to break a binary I am experiencing in my life? Something possibly completely unrelated and unexpected. To me, this presents me with an image of an incredible, vast, immeasurable network of possible ternaries I can navigate as I move forward.
This also points me to the importance of ternaries in general. I'm reminded of the riddle of the sphinx in Lévi (itself a ternary), which points to something beyond: the four legs of the questioning sphinx, the two of the responding human to the three of something not specified but which is pointed to. It's that something else I can see in the glass bead oracle with all its connections at all levels, not just as an oracle, but also the many other levels to which I can apply this.

Have I gone off the rails?
Thank you as always!
