When Kūn activates Gěn: one can adapt to the Earth and yet stay oneself. Both Kūn and Gěn are what they are and do what they do, they support and open space for change but never think about it, never boast. Mountain solidifies all that Earth creates: matter, creatures and mind, eac in its own unique image. Both are relentless in their own way, the two huge forces that create life and lend it its endurance.
Mountain's relation with Earth brings constancy in a world where anything can happen. And it will, time after time. They bring what is called eternity. By working with them, using the powers of Earth as the basis and the structure of Mountain to turn things into reality, one can create lasting values out of ideas, solid structures out of visions. It is weaving on the warp of Earth.

About the 3 lines of the trigrams and the helpers:
Each line, active or at rest, summons one of the 8 trigrams as a Helper. For an activated line: telling you what you need - or about a problem area or something to avoid.
For a stationary line: this is what you already have or do or what you don't need. Often we just need a reminder of our abilities. Or it could be what you wish or fear - but will not happen.
Active lines are the helpers to change things, they listen to intentions, which can come from you, surroundings, or fate. Stationary helpers are part of the core meaning, they are your soul talking, but they also see the impossibilities or what is lacking at the moment. They reinforce the overall power of a reading.
