Earth

"Earth is the symbol of a multitude." says the I-Ching. This could mean society, a group, several persons gathering to form a cohesive "one."

To act in accord with the times and always moving forward is one way to follow the way of Heaven and Earth.

The I-Ching says, "Heaven and Earth move in accordance with the time; Therefore sun and moon do not deviate from their courses..." We gain strength from our ability to connect with the Earth.

The I-Ching warns against our pension to lean toward "self-satisfaction." To be humble and sincere is to be in harmony with the Universe, i.e. the heavens and the earth; the sun and the moon; our connectivity to the Earth which is symbolic of the multitudes; humanity.
