Just want to clarify, in the article -Bhavachakra, the Wheel of Becoming- Liberation from Suffering- this statement is made:
"Those that purify themselves, elementals and Nirvanis, gradually raise their level of being so that they reside in subtle levels, higher levels and they are not bound by as much suffering as we are. They achieve those levels through gradual processes, working little by little, lifetime by lifetime, depending on the idiosyncrasies of that particular being. The elementals are in the lowest levels here, and the Nirvanis, Elemental Buddhas, those that have some degree of the soul. "
"We are just elementals from nature."
This isn't the same as when referring to sylphs or gnome etc elementals is it?
