Contention is denial of reality

Spirit shares His understanding of I Ching Wisdom

“Today’s lesson is related to the life situation expressed by Hexagram 6 – Contention.

Contention requires differences of opinion.Since everyone experiences Life from a unique perspective, differences in what and how anyone views whatever situation must necessarily be different, or at least seem to be so.”

“That would seem to explain …”

“It does explain …”

“But, explanation alone does not resolve the problem of different perspectives.”

“There is no essential problem with differences of perspective. It is as it is.”

“Then, how to explain and resolve contention?”

“Contention is refusal to accept, or denial of the reality that any particular perspective can ever only be one of countless possible perspectives.”

Today’s I Ching – 41 – Reduction

Today’s I Ching reading by Spirit.

Reduction follows Solution.

 

Spirit explains:

 

Solution expresses an ending of struggle. There is a way out.

A light turns on. A puzzle has been solved. Finding a solution

reduces built-up stress, at least temporarily.

 

Why only temporarily?

 

Struggle is necessary for growth and strengthens self-confidence.

 

How?

 

We learn through experience that we can find a solution to

Whatever challenges Life presents us with.

 

Is it a game?

 

Yes, and the game is a gift of Life.

I Ching 4 – Immaturity

Today’s I Ching reading by Spirit

Immaturity follows Difficulty

 

Spirit explains:

 

By facing difficulties in our lives, and we all do,

How we cope will or will not develop maturity.

 

An immature person will find excuses for

Difficulties and remain immature.

 

I have a problem with that idea.

 

You will always have a problem with some ideas.

 

Forever immature?

 

Yes, and that is a gift of Life.
