Day 26,655 - Images from the I Ching: Fire [The Clinging] over Water [The Abyss] (Hexagram 43 - Incompleteness) --> no changing lines ... There is a statment that we hear people make that usually is some variant of "everything seems to be 'off'" ... This image of Fire over Water reflects that sentiment ... Each of the six lines of the Hexagram are in their opposite natural position: the Yin(Embracing) lines are in the odd positions (1,3,5) and the Yang(Seeking) lines are in the even positions (2,4,6) ... They are in balance, but they are all "off" ... The image itself, of outer Crative, Clinging Fire is being aggressively fought off by an increasing, rising flood of the Abyss, the dangerous (yet nurtering) water ... Water quenches Fire ... The Abyss consumes Creativity, introduces obscurity upon our visual field ranges and deadens the clarity of our visions ... In short, that which is most creative and provoking can struggle within this inner liquid turmoil ... In addition, the Universe is not going to arrive quickly to disburse the fog, for there are no changing lines within this image ... All of the lines are young, strong and vibrant, capable of exerting their most confusing, balanced spell ... Is this a lost cause? ... Should we simply curl up into a fetal position and wait for the Mountain to push away the clouds, the Lake bring joy, the Earth to Embrace us? ... NO! ... As confusing and difficult as a sign like this can be, it must be remembered that Fire is Warmth, Clarity and Vision ... These are elements that we can draw on even when the nagging doubts and depression are assailing us ... Just because the Abyss is strong does not mean that the Fire is out, but we do need to focus on it and allow it to infuse us with that clarifying energy ... Il Matto ...
