Rising is followed by Exhaustion

Spirit explains I Ching 46 – Rising

Rising follows Gathering in the order
of the hexagrams, and whatever is
gathered or gathers together rises,
at least in quantity.

What about quality?

What about it?

I like to think of rising as expressing
an upward momentum.

It does.

But, how could anything increasing in
negativity express an upward movement?

For example?

The rainy season has begun, or threatens to.

What is negative about a rainy season?

My beloved summer season is over.

It, too, rose until it reached
a predetermined limit to its rising.
Rising is and must be followed by
Exhaustion, as will be the rainy season.

Is there a personal message for me?

Yes. You have been impatient.

I Ching 47 – Exhaustion

Today’s I Ching – 47 – Exhaustion

Lake above

Water below

Exhaustion follows rising.

 

Spirit explains:

Tides rise and we each rise

Only as high as we care to,

Unless we care enough

To rise as high as we can.

 

Low tide rises to the least

Possible output, while high tide

Rises as high as it can,

To the point of exhaustion.

People are as the tides, with

Some caring enough to give

All that they possibly can.

 

Where am I?

 

Yes.
