MENG (䷃) – the hexagram of Youthful folly.
“This is the hexagram of inexperience, upbringing and learning…
Essence of the hexagram is that the ignorant, represented in these texts, must be aware of his ignorance.”
– Han Boering (“I Ching for the 21st century”)
The vision of Elementair werk is rooted in the ancient trinity of Heaven, Human and Earth: the alignment of thought, feeling and action. When these come into harmony, clarity, direction and natural strength arise.
A deeper perspective
The name and logo of MENG Elementair werk feature a hexagram from the Book of Changes — the Yijing. Each hexagram is formed by six lines, yin or yang, together mapping the dynamics of change: a guide for navigating the patterns of reality.
At the heart of this understanding lies the trinity of Heaven, Human and Earth. That same trinity exists within us:
- Heaven – the head: thought, vision
- Human – the heart: feeling, connection
- Earth – the belly: nourishment, vitality, intention
When these three work in harmony, clarity, direction and natural strength arise. The ancient symbol 王 (wang) represents the archetypal sovereign: the one who maintains harmony between Heaven, Human and Earth.
This figure points to what is possible within each of us:
to bring thinking, feeling and action into coherence with the greater whole.
Elementair werk supports this path: a process of inner alignment that enables you to lead from within,
clear, grounded and in attunement with life itself.
From insight to embodiment
Clear your mind, calm your heart and strengthen your body.
That’s how you function with greater efficiency and integrity.
