What, if any, is the significance of the northeast in the Yijing?
Any additional input on Gen is appreciated. Anything regarding receiving spiritual guidance, or the place of ancestors, Sage, gods, spirits, etc?
“In the mandala of Later Heaven [[FONT=MingLiU_HKSCS][/FONT] ) the southwest trigram is Earth, and
the northeast trigram is Mountain. When a being is born, he or she must be
educated and brought up. An immature person is humble, and a part of a
multitude, which is represented by the trigram Earth. The Earth is nourishing and supportive, and like the Earth, the immature individual is still basic and
undistinguished, and depends on the support and guidance of others of his or
her own kind.
Later in life, a person of virtue becomes accomplished, and his or her nature is
fulfi[FONT=MingLiU_HKSCS][/FONT]lled by his or her way of being in society. A mature person of virtue is not
one of the multitude, but is alone in the unconditional expression of
warriorship. A genuine warrior or leader can see reality directly, and thus is
ruled by Heaven’s commands ([FONT=MingLiU_HKSCS][/FONT] ) in fulfill[FONT=MingLiU_HKSCS][/FONT]ing his or her duty in joining Heaven
and Earth. The warrior is without companions in the sense of not relying on
others for relative support and guidance. The mountain here represents the
accumulation of merit and wisdom, which is the body of the awake (bodhi)
being (sattva).
On an inner level, at the beginning of the Bodhisattva warrior’s path, he or she
perceives sentient beings, and thus has many companions. At the end of the
Bodhisattva’s path, he or she does not see any true existence in beings, and in
[FONT="]this sense is without friends or companions.”[/FONT]
I wonder if the attributes of the Northeast in Feng Shui are connected to your personal matter sooo.
I could say more about it, but probably best to leave it be.
