I am a super fan of I-Ching. So, there will be lots of it from now on; enough to bore you to death.
But, if you can survive the boredom, the untold story will definitely spice up the way you look at life. Because that’s the “hidden agenda” of I-Ching – to spice up people’s lives.
I-Ching? They call it the “Book of Changes”, a Chinese classic aged over five thousand years old. It is said to be the best kept secret of life; because the whole book is filled with riddles; thereby subjecting itself to all kinds of interpretation.
My take on I-Ching is its 3-D energy model that tracks all the possible changes in one’s lifetime as a growing human universe.
According to I-Ching -- a perfect human universe comprises a stable base, a justified past, and an expanding future; or a 3-D (three dimensional) existence that guarantees a happy and fulfilled life.
Unfortunately, life is never perfect in reality. For most of us, if there is indeed a human universe, it is either distorted or dysfunctional.
That’s where I-Ching comes in as a solution provider.
In this context, I started coining names for I-Ching, one each for different interest groups.
For the spirited – Sixty-four ways to Heaven.
For the down and out – Quick fixes for Screw-ups in Life.
For the ambitious – A Guide on Growing a Large-than-life Life.
For the scientific-minded – A Construction Manual for a Human Universe.
I guess I have a lot of explanations to do for calling names.
Where do I begin?
A baby human universe comprises a stable earthly-base anchored at the present, an ego detached from the past, and a future driven relentlessly towards a destiny by a heavenly force.
The Big Bang Theory 1 (An Ego-Soul Separation)
“Bang!” That is the sound of a newborn human universe; yours and mine are alike.
No, it is not an exaggeration. It is an audible signal for an unfolding natural process; no different from thunder, the sound of lightning that warns of an impending storm.
Yes, there is also light, which flashes before the “bang”; in accordance with the natural order -- lightning first, thunder later.
What follows is a huge mind explosion that ejects one out of the body, and disintegrates the body into thin air, figuratively speaking.
The sudden explosion of mind-space is actually a sensory breakout from the inner emotional domain; best visualized as an out-of-body experience that propels one’s awareness into a sun-lit world from the inner emotion-pit.
I-Ching calls this brilliant escape -- an ego detachment process.
Then comes tranquility, the result of the body relaxing and the mind justifying.
The body relaxes when the ego lets go of the past; thereby ending its dominance over the running of the body. In simple English, the involuntarily function is switched on, the moment the consciousness is off; resulting in spontaneous bodily jerks.
The mind justification is a spontaneous process, which matches extremes of opposing natures to form justified knowledge, the core ingredient of a justified environment.
Justified knowledge are facts about how things work naturally. Hence, a justified environment is a natural setting, where things vibrate freely; rising and falling cyclically like the four seasons.
I-Ching calls this unwinding phenomenon a soul-awakening process.
Now, there are two “beings” on the loose -- a detached ego and a liberated soul. Such a “free” formation is called an earthly self (a passive ego plus a grounded soul); blessed with a profound sense of contentment because of the grounding.
Done. Step one of the birth procedure – the separation of the ego and soul.
