Heaven, Earth, Sun, Moon, etc.

All these are references to nature. The rest of the ken-po goku-i refers to the many physical manifestations of nature in the body as it applies to life with emphasis on the FMA. In appendix I of the Legge translation of the I Ching on page 263 in the explanation he states, I quote, " … the importance of doing things according to rule by reference to the operations of nature … ," leads me to believe by inference this states throughout the ken-po goku-i as alluded to in the I Ching there are "rules" in the practice of the FMA that should be kept much like the rules that nature uses to be complete and operational.

The I Ching also alludes to this comparison in humans, their activities, and those of society. This may very well be the original intent when Bushi Tatsuo Sensei provided all his students a copy of a silk ken-po goku-i along with asking them to continue their studies which he meant by the presentation to go way beyond the mere physical but into realms that have provided guidance to the lives of the Chinese for thousands of years all the way up to today.

If true; absolutely amazing!
