To whom does the message apply?

Spirit shares His understanding of I Ching wisdom, as expressed in the life situation described in  Hexagram 27 – Nourishment.

” Mountain is over Thunder; yin over yin. Nourishment follows Accumulation (26) and leads to Great Surpassing (28). Even squirrels seem to know they must store something now for later. We build for today but also for tomorrow, if we seek to provide for
our future, even knowing that we may not live to enjoy it.”

“Saving something for tomorrow is generally accepted wisdom, but
there are those who have little or nothing to save, and barely enough to survive today. What about them?”

“Did they draw the card?”

“No, I did.”

“Then, to whom does the message apply?”

“To me.”

“And what is the message that applies to you?”

“To be more thrifty than I now am?”

“Yes.”

Note: A curiously appropriate message for me, for
today I receive my monthly allowance, and I confess that
I am not the most frugal woman in town.

Spirit’s I Ching – 24 – Return

A spirit teacher shares His understanding of timeless wisdom

contained within the I Ching hexagram 24 – Return.

Earth is above and Thunder is below.

How is that possible?

Thunder can refer to earth-shattering noise; heard or not.

Emotions or thoughts?

Yes.

Does return suggest going back to an earlier way of life?

We can never return. The clutter we have created is from

an earlier lifestyle. Now, we must let go and move forward.

Stripping away is removing that which in unnecessary

and no longer serves us well.

.Excesses in our life usually develop gradually and are

best removed in that same manner, but with intent to

improve the quality of our life, not merely to reduce quantity.

Stripping away can be seen as intent to return to a state of

Balance that has lost sense of its goal.

The message?

It may be time to listen to our personal sense of comfort and

need. We each have physical, intellectual, emotional, and

spiritual needs that harmonize with each other, or they do not.

Harmony of our unique blend of energies is life-promoting.

disharmony is unhealthy.
