Oh Wow I missed this Frank! It seems you and I were on the same wavelength just a different frequency! Love what you wrote about the lines of the 4 hexagrams being connected to half a month. Now you mention the Sun comes up in aries and that the clock time is 5 a.m. to 7 a.m.? Is that not the Large Intestine Meridian that generates evolution and change? So the lung meridian would its partner.
A great site for those interested explains these two fully http://www.wingmakers.co.nz/Metal_Meridian.html

I was just browsing back through the thread and Meng's post stuck with me
I'm not trying to poo poo Christianity here but when we look back at "Word" it is interesting to note it comes to us through In the etymology of and history of the word Wyrd. Surfing the Net I stumbled upon
The word "wyrd", is generally translated as "fate" or "destiny". The three Norse sisters of Wyrd are called Urdr, Verdani and Skuld; past, present and future. Urdr is a past form of the verb 'verda', to become, to have to.' - that which is already established. Verdani, is another part of the same verb - becoming. Skuld represents necessity - a debt due. (In Afrikaans "skuld" still means debt.)
In Old Saxon Wyrd was spelled "Wurd". In old German it was "Wurt". These words derive from a verb that comes into Old English as "weorthan", meaning "to become", or "turn into". "War", an Indo-European root word developed into the verb "weorthan". "War" was recorded to have the meaning; choose or will to, to speak, and to wind or turn. Winding and turning are the motions of spinning, the symbolic employment of the sisters of Wyrd. Through its meaning of "to speak" "war" developed into "word". It seems that at an early stage of conceptualisation "willing", "speaking", and "becoming" were in a sense synonymous. Perhaps once recognised intuitively when language still reflected the meaningful relationship perceived between things in the world.
(Rune Games - Marijane Osborn and Stella Longland)
One could then see destiny as comprising out of three elements; will, word and becoming or internal desire, expression of that desire, impression of that desire on the external world.
this I felt was agreat link to Ravenstar's
The creation bit is there to see in Wilhlem.
Starting with the will because " he sees himself placed at a disadvantage"
So is 51.1 something like - Oh NO I'm in the poop again.I don't like it here, I want to be somewhere better. Beam me up Scotty!!

Hi Janice,
In acupuncture there is this point Du Mai 15, Ya Men ; Dumb Gate.
This point is between C1 and C2 in the neck just on the border where the hair is growing.
This point has a strong relationship with the tongue and a special relationship with the Heart and the Spirits of the Heart, to words and the ability to speak.
Du Mai 15 is also the Gate of the Ears. The Gate that people have to cross on the path of life before they cann reach the Absolute. Thats why this point has to do with all kind of speech problems.
It is also interesting I think that there are no ancient acupuncture points in the neck itself. Because all humans have to cross the erea of the neck to reach this point to reach the head. In the neck on the front there are the so called Heaven window points. these are all points that connect the body with our head.
For the rest Du Mai 15 is also a point of the so called extra ordinary meridian Yang Wei Mai which is also connected with trigram Thunder.
This extra oridinary meridian is translated as the Gate Keeper, the one who decides who is coming in and who is not. This meridian is the gate keeper of the yang space, the Kosmos. This meridian is essential for our Immune system on a DNA level. Because this meridian is connecting us with everything and everybody around us.
It has his starting point at Bladder 63 - Jin Men(metal Gate). This point is the Gate of the incarnation birth of the spiritual being. then it travels all the way up through the body, for instance the heels is the time of being a child(bladder 61), The hips(Galbladder 29) are the birth of sexuality(growht of the spiritual being)
The shoulders(small intestine 10) are the erea of being in relation with other people(muturity of the spiritual being).
And in Du Mai 15 there is the adulthood of the spiritual being. In the Chinese view this is the Last point of this extra ordinary meridian.
Both the Extra Ordinary meridians Du Mo and Yang Wei Mai are connected with the Nervous systems, they are both the basis(DNA) of the yang part of the human nervous system.

Hi Mike,
Did Scotty finally get the call? Are you in deep space now? Watch out, Mercury goes retrograde tomorrow, better watch out for the trickster up there
I realized today you posted just before me yesterday and I missed this interesting bit on wyrd which I've seen before but never knew its meaning! And the three Norse sisters and of destiny and the three elements.
Is Spirit consciousness, YANG energy, the mind?” If so, it has been the masculine, spiritual mind we have been expanding so dramatically in recent years. “Going within” has meant venturing into the far corners of one’s mind. I believe that, in the near future, we will drop the phrase Mind-Body-Spirit, and replace it with Mind - Will - Body. In doing so, we will finally acknowledge and accept YIN energy - the Will - as an equal and vital part of life. I believe this what's taking place today, the YANG mind is discovering and learning how to accept its feminine counterpart - the love of its life - its own feelings - its WILL.
"I am the beauty of the green earth,
and the white moon among the stars,
and the mystery of the waters,
and the desire of the hearts of all.
Call unto thy soul,
arise and come unto me,
for I am the soul of nature,
who gives life to the universe.
From me all things proceed,
and unto me all things must return,
and before my face,
beloved of gods and of all,
let thine innermost divine self
be enfolded in the rapture
of the infinite..."
C.G.Leland 1896

I think the key to understanding 51.2 is in recognizing that it is riding on the back of 51.1.
With 51.1 something strong and undeniable happens, with 51.2 you realize the ramifications of this event, that you can't stop it, and all you can do is go along with it or get out of the way.
An example could be a parade coming down the street or discovering you're pregnant.
Real life example:
51.1
Someone we hadn't seen in years called to say he was on his way over for a visit.
A nice surprise except...
51.2
We already had plans for the evening. We cancelled our plans and rescheduled them for next week.
For me it's a bit like the state that arises in a panic attack. Too many signals are coming in to us and the more we try to put things right the more it throws us deeper into the state of confusion / panic.
"You lose your treasures" - Where did I put my marbles? Brown paper bag and deep breaths are the order of the day. And seven days later, when I've come through the process and calmed down I find my marbles in the bottom of the brown paper bag.

I found it interesting that the sum of the first seven numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, equals 28, which reduces to 10, the number of UNITY. We all go through cycles of experience and 7 marks the point when we can gather, synthesize and assemble what we’ve learned for our soul’s growth.
In our humanness we also go through 7 year cycles. The 1st cycle is our physical structure, the 2nd cycle is the development of feelings and emotions, the 3rd cycle is on spiritual development and Self Will. The 4th (28 years) is known as the crisis point or Saturn Return.

51.2
Six in the second place means:
Shock comes bringing danger.
A hundred thousand times
You lose your treasures
and must climb the nine hills.
Do not go in pursuit of them.
Hello Janice,
Yes a nice story,I know it as an old Chinese folktale.
And 7 is also the number of our emotions. And the number of the opening in our head where we can sense the emotions.
The Chinese have also the seven year cycle of Woman( man have a 8 year cycle).
In the Su Wen they write about 7 : The combination of number 3, which is that of Heaven, with number 4, which is that of Earth, gives the number 7, which is that of Life. It is also the number of the 7 lights in Heaven(Sun, Moon and 5 Planets) as well as that of the fertility of Woman, mother of the entire human race. the rest of Chapter 1 the Su Wen gives a description of this 7 year cycle of a woman.
And about numerlogy when we look to the sum of numbers then you always get 3,6,9 or 10(1). For instance 1,2,3,4,5...49=1 1,2,3,4....50=6 1,2,3,4...51=3 and 1,2,3,4....52=1 1,2,3,4....53=9
Tesla already wrote " when we understand the numbers 3,6,9 then we understand the universe".
Hexagram 1 and 2 are conected with 10(1) and 64 and 63 with 3,6,9.

Actually Mike, I think the upsets life throws at you at 51. are not to be shrugged off as nonsense, but rather are the sort that require adjustment. Like catching a glimpse of yourself in a window while trudging down the street and suddenly seeing what you REALLY look like. After you've gotten this major reality check you must continue walking but although you are calm on the outside, this flash changes everything and as a result "the superior man sets his life in order and examines himself."
This is what Deepak Chopra calls Object Referral. As long as we identify with objects in our environment to understand ourselves, we won't know who we are because our tendency is to evaluate and understand ourselves through the eyes of others. What happens is our life becomes a rollercoaster ride of emotions. These people (object referral) cannot function well in the midst of chaos because objects are constantly changing. And so, Life is always going to be unstable. One of the symptoms of object referral is fatigue because we have relinquished our Power to the object of reference. This can eventually cause discomfort and dis-ease in the body.
The opposite of object referral is self referral. A self referral person feels good and happy all the time regardless of the situation or environment they are in. They don’t identify themselves with objects, they are detached from them. They also have no urge to prove themselves to anyone, they are just happy being with themselves, with nature and with life.
We can only see the benefits after we have been thrown off and look back. Very much a case of trust the process, by the sound of it

Janice:Thought I'd share a 'fable' as told by Deepak Chopra in a CD series given to me years ago from a friend (beautiful soul) who has sinced passed on. I think it tells the story of51.2 and Mike's thoughts above...
塞翁失馬 (sai weng shi ma), the title of this story, is actually a commonly used Chinese idiom or chengyu . It literally translates as "Old Sai loses a horse". Old Sai is the wise man in the fable. The expression is used to remind others to take life in stride because things aren't really as good (or bad) as they seem. Certainly seems like a wise advice for a society that lives only for the present.

So perhaps when we get 51 as an answer it always helps to ask 'what is sacred here that I must preserve despite all the shocks'..or maybe 'what remains constant throughout the shocks.'
