So hexagram 3/4....25/6 and 41/2 have patterns in common from the point of view of the I Ching. How might that come across.
Hex
3.....The Spark of life, be full of life the starting seed is full of
potential.
Hex
4..... Not Knowing, one has only to care for the unlimited and the
formless which is full of potential. Listen to those who speak from
this unknown thing, they are the true sages.
Hex
25.....Innocence, connect to Heavenly rather than Earthly matters and
your soul will blossom. Enjoy beauty, when you are full of life decay
has no place.
Hex
26.....Raising big issues bring big accumulations. Look after the
harvests of man that are big stuff so they will survive era's.
Hex
41.....Diminishing, rid yourself of all conditioning, those things
you think you need to be who you are hide your very soul and
creativity. Be yourself naked, let go, an empty cauldron is then
ready to receive.
Hex
42..... The Bowl of the Rain God. Make your acts holy. A great
thought not put into practice cannot reach the Gods. Sending your
water upwards to the Gods means it will pour down on you later. Use
it or lose it and your world dries up.
Can
you see a connection between them.....it seems to me to be the
beginning, middle and end of a seeds life cycle of achievement and
how that seed sees itself at the end of its journey.
Once
again I look to Yijing
for
expression of the Hexagram 59/60 which contains a maximum amount of
darkness.
Hexagram
59.....the flood destroys old structures paving the way for a fresh
start. An open gateway to the cosmos for a person without opinion and
prejudice is a wonderful opportunity stripping away all sense of
security but you can focus on what is important and not sweat the
small stuff.
Hexagram
60...... A very rigid hexagram, living in the moment, knowing you
have restrictions means you will act in the now and not wait, every
new cycle brings a new energy, life becomes a piece of music. The
rhythm and succession of the music makes a difference, miss parts out
and the rhythm can be lost. Play your own tune, get the pitch right
and you will be in tune with others in the moment.
So
hexagram 59/60 may well have a fair bit of darkness in it but an open
door to the cosmos might well leave you feeling security conscious
but if you have an open heart and mind it could take you anywhere
only your own fears will make the darkness into a light you don't
like. What can you create from the dark matter that you bring into
the light.
Hexagram
9/10 also contain maximum amounts of darkness....walking through life
is like walking through the jungle you don't know what to expect,
tread carefully.
Strange
how that darkness now seems more like potential after all we bring
light out of the darkness what could be more exciting.
Hex
31/32 all Light hexagram.... all that glitters is not gold. We must
see the beauty in this hexagram but tread carefully. Are you drawn to
this hexagram because you think it is filled with light and might
benefit you or are you drawn to the light because of its beauty and
know that when the true light of beauty shines upon you it will show
the world who you really are and you do not fear that. Same outcome
different intentions. Light will reflect you so if your worthy all
well and good but if your not it will light you up just the same
showing your true colours to the world. Hexagram 32 Talks of a man
who fished each day and caught nothing so began to sketch the harbour
and surrounding boats and became a famous artist because he did not
deviate from the path he chose for himself, the outcome was different
but he did not waiver. Much light indeed.
Don't
you just love those hexagrams. I tend to read the hexagrams from the
book of the I Ching or online Yijing but you will no doubt be drawn
to the one that suits you best. Enjoy the search.
I do hope to improve my IT skills soon so I can give you better images, bear with me. x
