II got fried on the beach early on in my trip. I did a daily reading and received 36.3.5 >3. I stayed in that day, but was with a bunch of party animal's so I was moving against their grain but with the Tao. I did not feel like partying because I was drained and burnt. I stayed in and read some of Karcher's Ta Chuan and another burnt person kept me company for a bit too.
Whenever the girls would come back to the room from being on the beach, I acted like I was drinking, then would pour it into the sink when they left. I found this quite commical because it completely worked! The group of ladies I went with have a tendency to not only be wild but also make you partake. I am a lightweight and don't really enjoy some of the things that they do even though we perfectly get along. Before I did the reading, I was thinking about my burnt skin and how I did not want to go out into the sun and drink cocktails all day. I thought about how they would try and convince me to go etc. My reading could not have been a better one. It gave me the confidence to stay in and go against their grain, but it also gave me the confidence to pull a fast one and act like I was drinking.
I am having a hard time understanding wood and wind together, this helps, but it is not clear. I know it is just a concept and not just the actual elements. There is a penetrating force.. something that pushes threw? I see how wind shapes crystals, I like that, and I see trees that are sculpted by wind. I thought of wind as the soul from a long time ago (with hexagram 57). I wonder how breath/prana fits in with this.....Wood, which is also wind, is for me the form or law which is blown into all beings. Not just in living things, in all of it. A crystal gets that form, and not another one, because of the wind it has received. A tree the same. The bit of Heaven which is blown into all. Haven brings the laws, without them there is no form.
Thunder is the life-energy of Earth, which hits a seed and makes it germinate. But also everything else which has to start, or else nothing will happen.
Wind/Wood and Thunder together are the tools of Heaven and Earth to fill this world, and to fill the whole universe.
It is not enough to have this blueprint of Wind, you need surroundings and obstructions to turn it into reality. Water is the medium, the sculptor. It uses the possibilities Earth gives to form according to Heaven's laws. We use our body to give form to the laws - we are 80% or so water.
With the wake-up of Thunder you start to exist. After that first moment you travel from moment to moment, and every moment is new. Every moment you experience Thunder. This going on of moments is fire, every next one is lighted on the previous one. As long as there is food for it, it burns on and on.
Lake is the place where feelings can grow and live. The water is contained, can be shared, enters down into the Earth and evaporates up into Heaven. Lake gives meaning to our life in the form of love and exchange and experience. Both with other beings and with the teachings of Heaven and Earth.
Mountain is the individual, which contains the fire. Matter is full of energy, it needs borders and a solid space. Even a stone is a ball of burning energy, when that gets released it is huge. In Mountain we learn to set those borders, which is also a way to give meaning to our life. Without them we dissolve into a meaningless mess.
Courtney, I'm very curious if as the eldest daughter you have had times of confrontations concerning your will with or in opposition to your father? If you'd care to share something of that personal dynamic, I'd find that interesting and helpful in relation to 44 and/or possibly 9.
The Yi's family hierarchy is based on three brothers and three sisters, and so to try to compare, I suppose it would be necessary to share that same hierarchy. And even then, the Yi's model won't stand to that example in nearly every instance.
I wish I had sisters! Do you have a daughter Bruce? If you do, maybe you could share the Father side of 44 and/or 9.
