In this class Baba Metu delves into a system of four temperaments: hot and moist, cold and moist, cold and dry, and hot and dry.

Baba Metu explains these temperaments by linking them to classical elements, thermal qualities, and hydro qualities, illustrating each with examples, often using familiar figures and scenarios.

Furthermore, Baba Metu connects these human temperaments to the cyclical patterns of the natural world, specifically mapping them onto the solar cycle and the seasons of the year, suggesting a fundamental correspondence between human behavior and broader cosmic rhythms.

The purpose appears to be to introduce and explain this system of temperaments as a framework for understanding personality and its connection to natural cycles.
