Trust in the Universe; 61

[valdus]

Another fine relationship ended a bit prematurely. Asked the oracle about:

Trusting the universe in the ways of love (in being found rather than looking)

Got hexagram 61, unchanging.

I am shocked that the issue of trust is so deep in the Hexagram.

and that the advice is to be like pigs and fish, animals don't question the seasons they move with mother nature and trust her. Animals don't stick around for a tsunami, they leave. They follow the sounds of the earth. Trust in the universe and it will tell you where to go next.

 

[chingching]

I'll add there is a sense of 'you can find the universe in a grain of sand' with 61, trusting yourself is trusting the universe.

I like the Sufi saying:
Trust in Allah - but tie your camel first.

Always we hope

someone else has the answer.

some other place will be better,

some other time it will all turn out.



This is it.

no one else has the answer.

no other place will be better,

and it has already turned out.



At the center of your being

you have the answer;

you know who you are

and you know what you want.



There is no need

to run outside

for better seeing.



Nor to peer from a window.



Rather abide at the center of your being;

for the more you leave it, the less you learn.



Search your heart

and see

the way to do

is to be.

--Lao Tzu

 

[valdus]

It has not been an easy journey, while I feel that at this stage in my life I should be FOUND rather than LOOKING, an impatience dwells within me, a nervous wreck anxiety. Always wishing to push the way of the universe.

Yes I know, like a leaf pushing against a raging river.
