Descending path

Path from prosperity 八 (bā) to contemplation 七 (qī), through the center of five elements 五 (wǔ) to unity 一 (yī). Descending melody of numbers echoes ancient wisdom: true wealth lies in understanding simplicity.

Ascending steps of power (8) lead to wisdom (7), which opens paths of freedom (5), culminating in unity of will (1). Like an ancient philosopher descending from the mountain of enlightenment to people.
