The Image of Progress: Hexagram 35 by Charles Marchant Stevenson (1970). Inscription: “The Sun Rises over the Earth – the Image of Progress. The light of the sun as it rises over the earth is by nature clear. The higher it rises, the more it emerges from the dark mists, spreading the pristine purity of its rays over an ever widening area. The real nature of man is likewise originally good but it becomes clouded by contact with earthly things and therefore needs purification before it can shine forth in its native clarity.” – From Hexagram 35, Wilhelm-Baynes translation, I Ching: Or, Book of Changes, Bollingen Series, Princeton University Press.
