The Elemental "Ladder", or whatever you call it Options

The most common path upwards the tree of life if you relate to the elements is as following

Fire
Water
Air
Earth

where you start at earth and go upwards, why is this? The only quick response i've gotten earlier is that this is how it is related to the sephirot in the tree of life and that's why this path goes like that.

The path i've chosen to tread the tree of life is as following tho:

Fire
Air
Water
Earth

thus i've switched water and air and it feels right to me, it makes alot of sense too (in my view)
When i picture them i see the earth, the core of the planet and ontop of it (for most parts are covered with it) is the water, above that is the air and far above is the sun (fire)

Also i feel that it makes a more logical sense in placing the two symbols that point downwards on the bottom part of the 4 and thus balacing it up a bit.

I'd love comments and suggestions and expansive elaborations about it this please, spam away!

What Bym says is correct. I incorrectly assumed it would just confuse and dilute the discussion but it seems it has helped Animus in his orginal question. For that I apologize for not bringing it up sooner.

On a side note there are entire books written on the permutations of the name of god and the associations assigned to each letter. One of my favorites is how yod is the initial spark entering into the womb of Heh etc. If you are interested Animus check out some of crowleys writtings and he has some good work discussing how the prince marries the princess and becomes the queen so as to bond with the king. Regardless we can go all day on the subject and maybe that is a discussion needed for another thread.

Off Topic,
I have never understood how in some diagrams assiah is Malkuth only but in other diagrams each sphere has a assiah. I tend to few all four worlds operate on each sphere at the same time but it does not always match up with what other qabalalists do.
