The earth represents that which houses our psyche; the "earth" is our body. We live in our "earth", the body, yet that body is not just physical. It is also the body we inhabit when we dream, imagine, daydream, or fantasize.
"And Iod-Chavah (our inner divinity) saw that the impurity (pollution) of our mind was great in the body, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only impurity continually.
"And it repented Iod-Chavah that he had made the mind that is in the body, and it grieved him at his heart."
"And Iod-Chavah said, I will destroy that corrupted mind whom I have created from the image of the body; both the mind and the animal ego, and the creeping thing (perverted elements in our mind), and the fowls of the heavens (distracting thoughts that fly in fantasy...") Genesis 6
Our minds are deeply corrupted with pride, lust, anger, envy, greed, etc. All of that exists because of the choices we have made tempted by desire, we grow those elements in our psyche.
