Let us start with the
concept of three coins which we throw randomly to get a positive,
heads side to the coin, or a negative tails side. These three coins
will then create an I Ching trigram
and from there we will go on to create many new things. I don't know about you but I'm I(t)Ching
to start, you just need three coins.
Flip each coin separately or
together. If you flip together read the coins from the left to the
right as
they land.
A positive or heads coin
creates a solid line known as Yang. ___
A negative or tails coin
creates a broken line known as Yin. _ _
As an example three coins
flipped as heads would create three Yang lines. (A)
Three coins flipped as tails
would create three Yin lines (B)
A= ___ B = _ _
___ _ _
___ _ _
So if you flip three coins
and get heads, tails, heads you would create a trigram that looks
like this:
___
_ _
___ Associated with the
number 9 Fire Element
Another example would be:
tails, heads, heads: ___
___
_ _ Associated with
4 Tree
2 8 1 4 3 9 7 6
( Earth ) Water ( Tree
) Fire ( Metal )
_ _ ___ _ _ ___ _ _ ___ _

You can see each set of
three coins has now created a number and an element associated with
it. We can then throw three
more coins in order to create another trigram which we then place on
top of the one we already
have. Lets take an example...three coins thrown, tails, heads,
tails. This
gives us the trigram number
1 associated with water. Then we throw three more coins, heads,
tails and heads, or the
number 9 fire. We place three lines created by the coins in order
starting
from the bottom and building
up so the two trigrams are on top of each other. This is now called a
hexagram. Imagine you now
have the elements fire and water together, this is an opposition or
controlling aspect but it's
ideal if your a fireman! So Water will put out fire or keep it under
control.
Having said that fire can be
inspirational and warming so we don't always want water to come
along and douse our flames.
The I Ching is all about creation and control and finding the best
ways for the elements to
work for you.
I believe there to be three
single crystals, one double crystal and a small diamond crystal that
create
everything we know of and
probably a lot we don't know about. Lets take another example and
create those crystals
together. I will start us off with three coins creating heads, tails
and heads.
This will create the trigram
fire and then our next three coins create the same thing
so we have fire on top of
fire. ___
_ _ Fire Number 9
___
___
_ _ Fire Number 9
___
Now I am thinking call the
fire brigade 999............but wouldn't 911 be better? Those
Americans
know a thing or two.
We create our first crystal
with 9/9. Reproduce this hexagram but remove the top line, turn
it into its opposite and
place it at the bottom of the hexagram. This will give you another
hexagram.
You will now have the
lines _ _
__
___ Metal Number 7
_ _
___
_ _ Water Number 1
Now you have two parts to our crystal, continue on removing the top, in this case yin line and
changing it to its opposite
Yang and placing it at the bottom. Your next hexagram should be 9/4.
Continue until you have
twelve hexagrams and the thirteenth would simply start the same
crystal
over again.
So we start with the hexagram for 9/9 which creates 1/7 and so on to 9/4...1/9... 8/1... 3/9... 1/1...
9/8...
1/3...9/1...7/9...4/1...and then we are back to the beginning with
9/9. We have now formed our
first crystal. These
numbers belong together and will never appear again in another
crystal. You
have 64 hexagrams, 12 of
which are in your first crystal. Now we need to find the other 52.
Create
hexagrams either with 6
coins of by merely looking to see a set of two numbers that don't
appear in
this first crystal. For
example the first crystal contains 1/1 so lets start the second
crystal with 2/2 as
it does not appear in
crystal one.
2/2...3/2...7/2...6/2...6/3...6/7...6/6...4/6...8/6...2/6...2/4...2/8...and
then you are back to 2/2 so your
crystal number two is
complete.
Let us move on to create our
third crystal and suppose we start with
8/4...2/9...2/1...3/8...1/2...9/2
...7/3...6/1...6/9...4/7...9/6...1/6...and
then we are back with 8/4.
Crystal number four starts
with 8/3...3/7...7/4...4/8...but you will find the next number to be
8/3 so this is a smaller
diamond shaped crystal of only four hexagrams.
Finally our last crystal is
known as the double as both crystals combine to work together. We just have twenty four hexagrams to find now
so in some ways you can work
out what they are because that is all you have left to choose from. It creates two crystals but they work together as we will see later.
In the same way we create
our next crystal
2/3...3/1...7/8...4/2...9/3...7/7...6/4...4/9...8/7...3/6...
1/4...8/8...and then back to
2/3.
Our final crystal starts at
8/2...3/3...7/1...6/8...4/3...9/7...7/6...4/4...8/9...2/7...3/4...1/8...
and
back to 8/2.
So this is our map for the 6 crystals that make up all of our DNA.
