Welcome,
We are connecting today with the message from Hexagram 43 of the I Ching entitled Breakthrough and also Displacing.
As we prepare to receive this transmission,
Please allow your body to relax,
To ground and your nervous system to settle.
Now,
Use the breath with an extended exhalation to guide the body into calm and peace.
And then guiding the mind into quietness and into no thinking.
Bringing our hands to heart center,
Let's set the intention together.
I trust the wisdom I am receiving from this ancient teaching,
Along with my own inner guidance,
Is aligned with and for my highest good,
Along with the greater good for all.
Let's breathe into that and on exhalation,
Affirm with the words,
I trust.
Relaxing the hands to be in a position with palms facing up,
Allowing the self to receive,
Receive the external guidance,
But also your own internal insights.
Both are equally important.
Once again,
Grounding the body,
Quietening the mind and opening the heart.
As we look at this hexagram,
We see the image of a young solid line,
Which represents strong energy,
Often termed masculine,
But it is not referring to the gender.
This vibration holds vision,
It holds purpose.
And we see five young lines of this nature on top of each other,
Almost like steps.
And we read a hexagram from the bottom up.
So the lower trigram of three lines,
Completely young.
The inner trigram,
Also completely young.
The next inner trigram,
Also completely young nature.
And these trigrams of three young lines,
Symbolize heaven.
And right at the top,
On the sixth line,
We have the yin line.
This is an open line,
A feminine frequency of receptivity,
Of reflection,
And this energy can be more subtle,
But equally powerful to young,
Just in a different way.
So the fact that this one yin line is right at the top,
Just before it transforms into the next hexagram,
Number 44,
Which is its partner,
This indicates that there is movement following a certain repetition of a certain quality of energy,
Of experience.
Hence,
This is entitled breakthrough,
Or displacing.
This feminine frequency intentionally changes what has been.
So think about this in terms of your own life now.
Where has there been a repetition,
Something that has been around for a long time?
It might not be out in the open.
It could be internal,
Something that has been strong in its presence.
It could be a fixed idea or behavior pattern.
It could be seen in a relationship.
It could be seen in work,
In one's health,
In one's spiritual life.
And now,
That which was is slowly changing.
You might be feeling it already.
Either way,
It is necessary to remember that this young activity is still very much present,
And the change is only just ready to take place.
And so there is this reminder to allow,
Not to force,
As much as you may be welcoming in this change,
But maybe not.
You may be aware of the benefits,
Or maybe not.
And if there is no resonance for you with regard to change anywhere in your life,
This could be because of the high volume,
Intense volume of young frequency,
Which in our daily lives today could represent on an earthly level overstimulation.
All the noise and input that one receives on a daily basis.
And when this repeats itself day after week after month after year after decade,
One gets used to it.
And now,
When there is a change,
Whether it is coming through because one has called for it,
Or it is coming through circumstantially,
There is a reminder here to pause and watch this transformation,
This breakthrough taking place,
Without getting too much involved in it.
While you may be experiencing it on a physical,
Mental,
Emotional,
Spiritual level,
Let yourself not react to it.
And in order for that to take place,
There is a call for being still,
Connecting with one's center,
Grounding,
Presence.
Words from the I Ching say,
Be flexible and cultivate self-awareness in order to remedy any faults.
It will be wise to display steadfastness,
Honesty,
And strength in pursuing this worthwhile course.
As you allow yourself to reflect on all the information received here,
What speaks to you the most?
And how can you see this unfolding in your life right now?
Do you resonate more with the term breakthrough?
Or displacement?
And what can you do to shift your focus from a position of seeing the glass half-empty,
To seeing it now half-full?
Connecting with the breath,
And as you ground down,
Trust that the guidance that you've received,
Externally,
Internally,
Will continue to guide you in the perfect way for you and your life right now.
If this breakthrough or displacement is speaking deeply to you,
And I encourage you to listen as well to hexagram number 44,
Which is its partner.
And there we see the yin line that was at the top of 43 move over to the bottom of 44.
This is one of the interesting patterns of the I Ching's binary code system.
And if you would like to learn more about that,
Please do join me in the course entitled Divination with the I Ching.
Let us now close,
As we began with our hands to heart center,
Giving thanks for all that we have received,
And blessings to those who have made it possible for the I Ching's message and teachings to reach us here and now.
