Short Summary
FreeEarth doubled — the ground beneath the ground. A vastness that holds everything.
This hexagram asks you to be the field, not the lightning. There's enormous strength in receiving, nurturing, and supporting — but only if you do it on purpose. The ground doesn't sustain the world by accident. It does so by never pretending to be anything else.
Ground beneath the ground
every seed that ever fell
knew where to land.
