![]() ![]() Heaven and Earth, respectively, represent the pure yang and the pure yin. ![]() Heaven and Earth, sun and moon were the four deities that the ancient Chinese revered the most. The waxing and waning of the moon derived the principle of change and also that of the continuity of change. The moon itself had neither heat nor light its light was merely the reflection of the sun or most yin or the coldest, the darkest. The Sun was a source of heat and light or most yang or the hottest, the brightest. The sun and moon up in the sky were the first two natural objects they noticed to display the principle of yin and yang. Besides Heaven and Earth, sun and moon were the two most important symbols to the ancient Chinese. In the I-Ching Qian stands for Heaven, Kun for Earth, Li for Sun, and Kan for moon. The I-Ching refers to the four significant symbols meaning Heaven, Earth, Sun, and Moon where the same references are made in the Kenpo Gokui of Te.

Its nature is completely holistic and like the I Ching must be in a form that promotes learning and understanding so a person can see, hear and grasp the nature of a holistic system. The lines of the ken-po goku-i are set from an atomistic aspect simply because it is the manner in which the brain learns.

Antagonistic dualities are complementary aspects of a unified whole: are seen as mutually dependent mirror images of each other." - Nahum Stiskin Conflicting ideologies can exist simultaneously. Judgements are frequently based upon a set of "temporary" circumstances surrounding them. "What is true today may be reevaluated as false not long after.
