I love Cayce's thought of co-creation, and that you can make a contract with god, if its done with the intention of helping others (it can also help ourselves, though, thats the good part
)
In that sense, he says, we shouldnt ask "God, how can I get what I want?" (which Ive done too many times), but instead "God, what do you want me to be and do?" or "God, what can I give to others?".
Since those big questions are those I repeat most from time to time, I asked that same question (version 2
) last sunset, and what should I focus my energies on, for the next couple of months. Actually I already knew the answer (so the Yi pulled my ears a little with #4), I just felt in such a good mood that I thought I had to take advantage to throw the coins.
So I got #4, Youth foolishness, with line 5 moving "Childlike folly brings good fortune.". Appart from #4 always being a little harsh on the text, I think its very favorable, and I feel somehow reborn by it. It changes to #59 (big grin: like I didnt knew), and there it becomes that line Im after, the "great stimulating idea" that will bring "true salvation". I know this idea has to come from myself (#20,3) and it probabbly will take its time (-> #53), but if any of you guys wanna take me a hexagram asking what it is, I'd be most grateful, and it may "resonate" in my brain, cause I know the damn thing is ready to burst any minute. Thats part of my need to talk to other I Ching nuts (no offense)
As for this line in #4, I cant make more of the childlike reference, but becoming pure like a child, when we havent yet developed such narrow views: we arent born with an ego, its something we build with age... This goes well with my efforts to purify myself (#35 in the sense of letting your pure light raise above the soil that was tainting it, #25 in the sense of acting in god's will, doing good with zero expectations, just for the sake of it), fasting, yoga, gratitude, etc.
Btw, I dont wanna pose as a pure chap, Im concerned with purity exactly cause I feel myself so impure! Ive done many wrongs in my life, lost track several times, and am constantly strugling with myself to become free of all my "bad side".
Anyway, I loved this answer, and I think I wont be casting for a long time, so settled are my emotions at this point. But I'd apreciate your input. Any thoughts anyone? This young fool would love to hear your views
