Day 26,667 - Images from the I Ching: Thunder [The Arousal] over Mountain [The Unmoving] (Hexagram 52 - Smallness) --> changing towards [line 3] --> Thunder [The Arousal] over Earth [The Embracing] (Hexagram 60 - Repose) ... There is an interesting, calming symmetry to the image of Thunder over Mountain, where the hexagram froms a letter 'H', with Yin(Embracing) lines above(outer) and below(inner) with two Yang(Seeking) lines in the middle. At one level one could say that the Yang(Seeking) lines are "contained" by the Yin(Embracing) lines, which in an of itself mitigates the more proud and aggressive, but creative nature of the Yang elements in this image. This means that the boastful and arrogrant need to be aware of the value inherent in the more introspective and inclusive forces that surround them. These forces need to be respected because they do have the power and ability to quell, mitigate, if not stop entirely, the belligerance that may be present ... The inner Mountain can be a strong, stabilizing force, which can also be protective, something needed when the external forces are unsettling ... If we go too high on the inner mountain without some caution we open ourselves to vulnerabiliites that can be costly, for thunder, lightning and atmospheric distrurbances can well up quickly and violently ... The higher one is on the Moutain the more problematic the fall ...

The one changing line is within the inner Mountain and it takes us to the inner Earth, the belly, the centering ground, the source of life ... This is a natural progression since Mountains are constantly engaged in a slow melting down, an erosion, towards the Earth ... The Mountains end up as silt at the mouths of rivers, as fertile top soil on farmland and as building materials for roads and towns ... The once (and currently) grand mountains will (at some point) be reduced to the essential elements of sustaining the Earth ... So the ultimate place/fate of the powerful, wealthy and arrogant will be assimilation into the chaotic order of the Universe ... Although we often think of collapse, erosion and natural levelling of Mountains as a destructive, cataclysmic phenomenon, we are all depending upon the rubble, dust and nutrients that were once locked up in the massive vaults of ancient Mountains ...
