Sun:Wind over Qian:Heaven = Accumulating
Distance yourself from your old path.
...rain is threatening but not yet falling. The time is not ripe for advancing and difficulties still lie before you.
Today a close friend of an officemate was found after committing suicide, the rain is threatening.
No amount of rain can wash away the stain of those unable to maintain their living responsibilities. At those moments it is advisable to maintain and cherish the same ideals as before. In this way you can be sure that the wheels will not separate from the axle.
What path must I distance myself from?
The path of my mind that leads down a road fraught with lies and self-content. That is an old path already traveled amongst the neurons and must be discarded as in direct contrast to the expansion of life.
Life is a continual action of expansion and contraction felt across cellular boundaries which unhealthy mental patterns can threaten.
I must let the winds of Heaven flow freely through the Spirit of my life.
Kun: Earth over Sun: Wind = Ascendance
Following the tree's example, grow slowly and gather good deeds from below so that they rise up to perfection.
Today I mountain biked to the East Peak of Mt. Tamalpais after a week of sub-par health. My breathe was ragged and my legs fatigued due to my previous inactivity and the sun beat down heavy upon my head. The feeling of the Earth under me kept me balanced and half-way up the mountain I felt a breeze clearing out the heat radiating from the sun-baked trail.
I thought of the trees, steady and unabashedly reaching for the sky. Growing slowly they gather nutrients from earth and display them in a time-worthy fashion. I could learn from them.
Looking out from the mountain top sharing a moment with friends, I could sense a worldwide ascension of the soul. The time is becoming ripe for my generation to take the helm and set a new course for our world. We are rising and must be willing to learn from nature. The stalwart trees stand as legions of royalty against the pressures of time, much can be learned from their efficient examples.
I have committed myself to a thirty day discovery of the I Ching.
I will share the daily symbols arrived at through meditative thought and will intently post them here to face Infinity.
I will be using I Ching cards published by Marlowe & Company, with text by Chao-Hsiu Chen. Seen HERE.
Undoubtedly I will use some choice lines of text from Chao-Hsiu Chen combined with my own insights. I appreciate her insights and hope this serves as sufficient credit.
