Life changing/Challengers/Connection with my spirit.

[WoodTiger]

Hi Everyone, i've been through some major traumatic events these couple of years and its lead me to connect to myself, ive become a recluse because ive become disconnected with people that have been close to my life, im seeing alot of nastiness, anger evil and i want out, ive also come to realise my ego is huge, it had taken over alot of me, its caused me extreme problems, so im trying so so hard to work on that,....but my life is still having hit after hit of painful events, its like im getting b''tch slapped by fate, so i asked

Am i going through the dark night of the soul and i got hexagram 24 line 2

Any help would be awesome

Thankyou.

WoodTiger, that's a wonderful name. A beautiful animal. Or even a powerful golfer we all know.

24.2 seems very hopeful for you., not just a return to your Self but also an upturn in your life. Commentaries include:

"The man makes an admirable comeback through an act of self-mastery.This is made easier by the example of a good man."

The Yi might be considered a good man, and of course there's a plethora of spiritual teachers online and perhaps in your own life. Might be time to do some serious investigation. Who teaches self-mastery? Without knowing anything about you, martial arts comes to mind. Little room for ego when you work with a good instructor.

Helping others also has the potential for working through ego issues. John Blofeld says of this line, "This good fortune results from our treating others with loving-kindness."

Hiya Poised, thankyou so much for your reply and help

@ ur comment on martial arts, well i'm thinking of trying karate for discipline, karate and tai chi.

And helping others, your so right, my partner has serious bi-polar and its so stressful, my ego says "run, how embrassing, how shameful, run, get the hell out of there", but when i center myself, meditate and rest, i know i love him so much he needs so much loving support that i will never turn away.

I look with hope to my return of a balanced happy life.
