Between Beginnings and Endings

Spirit shares His understanding of timeless wisdom
hidden with the I Ching hexagram 46 – Rising.

Earth is over Wind. Both are Yin.
Rising follows Gathering (45) and moves into
Exhaustion (47).

Rising expresses upward movement, such as the Sun
seems to rise from the Eastern horizon, each morning,
wherever on Earth we may be. It then seems to reach
high into the sky, about mid-day, and then begins
to descend toward the Western horizon, arriving there
to end its daily journey, each evening.

How does that story relate to inspiration?

It teaches us that we live within a structured universe.
There are rules of order, known as Universal Laws.

How can knowing them help me, here and now, today?

Beginnings and endings are inevitable, but what happens
between the two reflects free will.

How?

We each choose.

What?

Not what, alone, but also how and why.

Spirit’s I Ching 10 – Treading

Heaven over Lake

Treading follows Small Development

 

Spirit explains:

 

Treading water is a temporary but valuable survival strategy for those who lack

Necessary swimming skills to reach the safety of shore in an emergency.

Hopefully, safety will come to them, from someone who accepted personal

Responsibility for self-care by developing water safety skills.

 

Small Development suggests a beginning, a first step up a staircase or

Ladder of skills-development, such as treading water is.

 

Is the message a warning?

 

About what?

 

About the danger of not going beyond the beginning.

 

The beginning of what?

 

Whatever.

 

No. The message is that beginnings were not designed to also be

Endings. But, the choice is yours.

 

Mine?

 

Yes.

 

What has begun in my life?

 

What has ended in your life?

 

Nothing that I know of.

 

Yes.</
