  🖋️

  Here the light from above shines down upon the earth and things grow. Guiding principles are necessary for sustainable cultivation of farmlands. With too much ambition comes a forfeiting of the measure by which nature is healthy and a source of nourishment. Being patient and following guiding principles is humble and slow. It does not attempt to grasp all of the light for itself, but understands that it just can be patient and open to receive, and day by day it will grow.
  
  This means not clearcutting thousands of acres to plant one crop. The answer to this type of imbalance will manifest itself. Patiently accepting what is given, one receives and follows the guidelines as they become clear, like the branches and leaves of plants turning slowly to fill in the places where light shines. Thus one harmonizes with all around itself, and as all follow these guiding principles together, ecosystems are born.
  
  Thus the principle of Top Down nourishment is one wherein there is receiving from above, that manifests so as to nourish what is below. While it is inappropriate for Second Yin to cross over, Sixth Yang is already doing the crossing over. Second Yin just needs to patiently away what is able to filter through from the lines above on its way from Top to Bottom. Trying to rush the process by eliminating the participants above is to invite disaster. Patiently working with what comes through to the bottom adapts to the needs of the group. This is how roots grow strong - strong wood grows slowly over a long time.
