Hi, this is my first time so be gentle! I'm getting to grips with the heaven/man/earth schema as one way of interpreting the gua. Man I take to refer to our society/ culture as well as individual personality. Earth I guess is the phenomenal world, the solid bits of matter. However, when I try to understand "heaven" most I Ching indexes refer to Qian. I can't find anything about what the Chinese understood by the concept of heaven. I'd be greatful for any ideas or references. Bob-the-slob
Thank you,good and kindly people. My stress level is much reduced and I'll dig into your references. However I do have another query (it may be sorted once I've done some homework though). In the tripartite structure of the gua: heaven, man, earth, what would it mean when, as in Qian, all elements are yin? I suppose its also the same as a yin line in a yang place?? I must say I'm more inclined to just use a non-commentary text e.g. Rutt, and give my imagination something to do.
