Hello, my name is Math .During this spread, I throws 2 times hexagram 52 ( actual and future) and the mediator between them is 1 on my I Ching application on mac. Strange ? I find that this spread is truly a key for my path for 2018 from the Tao. The way will follow in this year, with a powerful advice from Yi.Since a couple of years, I feel in stagnation physically, like a big down. I'm newbie here, when I talk about majors changes, I talk about somethings must happens in my life, I can feel the grown of energy in me but it's blocked by me.What should I do ?The app I use:https://www.macintoshrepository.org/1683-i-ching-connection

Hi Math,

“In 2018, what should I do if I live majors changes?”
52uc ~ “The Tao is found through Stillness proper.”

“Gang indicates that, resting on his back, he does not find his body and walking in his courtyard, he does not see any person. Faultless.

“Gang means to stop ~ stop when it is time to stop and go when it is time to go. Both moving and resting are done in a timely way. Its way is bright and clear. Resting on his back is to rest in the proper place. The upper and lower trigrams are opposing and unresponsive with each other. Therefore, “resting on his back, he does not find his person, and walking in his courtyard, he does not see any person."

“One mountain overlapping another makes Gang. Thus the junzi does not contemplate things beyond his position.”

Back in King Wen’s time, ~1100 BCE, there were known to have been three different systems of hexagram-based divination ~ the Zhouyi, the Gui-cang, and the Lian Shan.

The Zhouyi is said to be based on Hexagram 1 (Heaven) ~ the Gui-cang is said to be based on Hexagram 2 (Earth) ~ and the Lian Shan (“Linked Mountains”) is said to be based on the hexagram that you tossed: Hexagram 52 (Stillness).

The Yi says that proper Stillness means both Stillness of Gratuitous Thinking on the inside (mind) ~ and Stillness of Infatuated Feeling on the outside (body) ~ inclusive of when you are at rest, or in timely motion.

It is through a practice of self-cultivation that one seeks to find this “proper Stillness,” in order to transcend the mundane for the sacred. In Taoism, this is called Awakening to the Way.

Here’s how Douglas Harding describes his “Moment of Discovery”:

http://www.headless.org/on-having-no-head.htm

So, if the ancients can be trusted, then it is possible to meditate on Hexagram 52 (“resting on his back is to rest in the proper place” ~ i.e. - the witness position) ~ Stilling the mind and body so much that “no person” is sensed inside or out (no separateness) ~ revealing the Way “bright and clear.”

Therefore, the Stillness that you want is light and bright, and stops and moves in a timely fashion ~ which is different from the stagnation and heaviness that you are currently experiencing as “stuckness.”

My advice for you, then, is to take your practice of self-inquiry to new heights in 2018, by taking-up the witness position to properly Still your mind and body, thereby revealing the Way directly.

I hope this is helpful ~ All Best!

Hey RadiofreewillThank a lot for theses keys and for your advice, I will take take it preciously. It encourages me to converse natural energy of the Stillness. Since the 1st day of new year, my best friend over years who tells that I was not the same( see him rarely now) and it's true.I renounce for my well-being to minimize relationships who don't really help me (pain love of the past, addictions, family troubles).The Empty Rest is not about leave forever personal relationships, but about sprout maybe new refreshment of ideas. The sage's WayIs to act and not to contend. Dao de Jing Chapter 81
