Spirit explains I Ching 16 – Delight

Delight follows Humility.

 

Spirit explains:

 

Delight is a spontaneous feeling of personal pleasure; a high point,

Not designed to last and, as a high note, must be released.

 

Humility expresses  the acceptance of the unsustainability of

Extremes.

 

Could a low note also be such an extreme?

 

No.

 

Why?

 

We grow and reach up, or we do not.

It’s as simple as that.

Today’ I Ching Reading by Spirit – 5 – Waiting

Waiting follows Immaturity in the order of the Hexagrams.

 

Spirit explains:

 

Immaturity doesn’t last forever. We learn and grown,

Each in our own time and in our own way.

 

Waiting until we are more prepared to face

Whatever challenges Life presents us with,

Doesn’t work.

 

We must live each day as we now are.

 

The message?

 

We develop maturity with intention and practice,

Not by waiting.

I Ching 60 – Discipline

Today’s I Ching – 60 – Discipline

Water above, Lake below.

Discipline follows Dispersal.

 

Spirit explains:

 

Water above a lake suggests flooding. The lake can only hold

as much as it can hold before dispersing the excess water.

Societies have learned from nature and build barriers to

Protect themselves from flooding.

 

Rules of Law serve the same purpose as flood control.

It’s called crowd control. However, for a society to survive

And thrive, individuals must learn to control their own

Desire for excess. We each need to learn how to limit

Ourselves.

 

How do we grow?
