I look at the way the bottom trigram mirrors the top one. It is as if God, 27.6, was lonely, wanted someone equal to Himself to talk to and so projected himself on to The Great Undifferentiated and manefested as 27.1. But as junior gods, or newborn gods we are inexperienced and don't know where we came from or why we are here. We only know we want to be one with God again, but somehow this is denied us. We must recognize that we already ARE one with God, that we have or that we are the Magic Tortoise. But until we realize that we are the source, we misinterpret all our experiences and look to outside sources as being the cause of our condition (27.2). But even so, even though our desires only beget more desires and never satisfaction (27.3), in the fulfilling of our fantasies, we come to experience the creative power that is ours and God's. Once aware of our creative power, we realize it cannot be satisfied only serving our own needs, that our personal needs are only pleasures for the sences. To be truly satisfied we find our power needs to be used to satisfy the needs of ALL, to be responcible, able to respond, to ALL. (27.4) From there we realize we cannot, from our limited human perspective do this, and that we must connect our power with a power which can, and this turns us to consider, to use our power to create a mechanism which can: God/the Magic Tortoise(27.5) Thus in 27.6 we have God the creator of man in the same space as man the creator of God. It is a dangerous place to be, kinda like hex.9, the handler, next to hex10, the lion. But as Man recognizes he is a co-creator then great good fortune is possible.
Hi, Bruce:I've found Brad's cannibalism scenario to be both far reaching and sadly too easy a boiling pot to fall into. Yet to not reach out seems selfish and depriving when it comes to not offering oneself. It's still best to not fall into the missionary position. I think I understand why it's better to write recipe books and keep it impersonal. At least you can return home in one piece.
