There are no Future Lives

A spirit teacher shares His understanding of timeless
wisdom expressed within the I Ching Hexagram 56 – Travel.
Fire is over Mountain. Fire is Yin and Mountain is Yang.
Fire will move when it can but Mountain is usually stable.

Travel builds on Abundance (55) and prepares a foundation
for Wind (57), in keeping with the endless progression of
life experiences of cause followed by effect, followed by
cause …

Abundance risks developing into stagnation or restlessness.
What does one do with one’s life after one has achieved
enough and has accumulated enough of society’s rewards to
almost satisfy one’s soul, and yet feel that something is
missing.

Perhaps it’s time to dare to open our eyes and to dare to
allow ourselves to accept that material wealth and even
physical health can become as a trap that limits our growth
and our incentive to move beyond the confines of conventional
limits of awareness

We seem to intuitively know that if we will allow ourselves
to see, there are worlds beyond worlds waiting for us to
discover them.

Wow! Are we talking about possible future lives?

There are no future lives. There is, was, and always will
be only one life to live and to liveor.

Humility Develops

Spirit teaches the timeless wisdom of I Ching. Today’s lesson is expressed  in Hexagram 15 – Humility.

“Humility follows Great Possessions (14) in the order of the Hexagrams. Earth over Mountain – or is it Mountain pushing up through Earth? Humility, in it’s most sincere form, blended with awe and gratitude, can develop out of great possessions, when she who possesses abundance becomes aware that anything and everything we may  possess at any given time is doomed, or destined (depending upon one’s perspective), and is only ours while it is ours. What is becomes what was, sooner or later. The good news is that pleasures and possessions can be enjoyed without clinging to them.”

“What does that mean for me?”

“Do you now have great possessions?

“My lifestyle is a simple one.”

“Great possessions do not necessarily refer to material wealth.”

“Then, I am blessed with at least one great possession, Your teaching.”

“Yes.”

Here and Now is Where and When

Spirit’s I Ching reading for today.

The Creative (I Ching 1) is a beginning and follows nothing.

 

Yesterday’s I Ching was 55 – Abundance, but not even abundance

Is ever complete in itself.. Creativity expands, alters, or destroys

Whatever must be expanded, altered, or destroyed in order to

Create what is to be.

 

Abundance is not unlimited abundance but creativity is

Unlimited and able to expand abundance to infinity.

 

There are no limits, He tells me, to either human or

Universal creativity, for we are one with the other and

Within the other.

 

Time does run out in individuals.

 

We each are beyond individuality.

 

But, down here at a grass roots level …

 

At whatever level.

 

But, here and now …

 

Here and now is where and when.

Spirit’s I Ching 55 – Abundance

Spirit explains:

 

Abundance follows Marriage in the order of the Hexagrams.

 

Marriage is a special ceremony wherein two people declare their

Intentions to share with and care for each other, and accept

Responsibility to develop a long-term, mutually beneficial

Relationship.

 

It sounds good, so far. Where does abundance fit?

 

Two or more people working together can usually accomplish or

Create more of whatever, than any one person, alone. Working

Together also creates community. We were not designed to live

Completely independently.

 

Back to abundance. Couldn’t two or more, working together without

Harmony, and without too much effort, create an abundance of

Sorrow, as easily as, or as well as an abundance of pleasure

For each other?

 

That’s a chance we choose or choose not to take.

Today’s I Ching reading by Spirit

I Ching 55 – Abundance. Thunder is over Fire.

 

Spirit explains:

 

Thunder suggests an abundance of rain.

Fire suggests and abundance of light and heat.

 

Both thunder and fire create and are created by

Movement. Something changes. Something always changes.

 

Abundance expresses blessings far beyond survival needs.

 

Why do I not experience such a lifestyle?

 

You do.

 

I’m not aware of it.

 

Yes.
