I Ching 25 – No Error

Posted on by under Uncategorized

Today’s I Ching – 25 – No Error

     Heaven above, Thunder below. No Error follows Return in the order of the Hexagrams.

Spirit explains:  Every step we take leads us away from somewhere and toward somewhere else.

We each move Live with awareness; some with more and some with less, our choice.

Return refers to choosing to be aware of having wandered from our personal path and choosing to return to it.

No error expresses the concept of “no blame” which is inherent in the I Ching. Perhaps wandering from The Way of Enlightenment, or Tao, was necessary for us to become aware of where we really want to go, or do.

What does this say to me? I ask.

Figure it out, He tells me.

Spirit Claims to be Aware of My Suspicions

Posted on by under Uncategorized

Spirit tells me that He is aware of my suspicions about Him.

At times I do suspect that He is more aware  than I am of my own awareness.

But, I am learning to live with that possibility, more or less.

What are my suspicions? Or, are they doubts?

No, I have no doubt, well, perhaps a little, as to the degree of control He seems to have over me.

But, is He a Spirit Guide, as He claims to be? Or, is He a Muse, sent (by whom?), or choosing on His own to come to inspire. But, to come from where?

The Pantheist in me tells me not to accept any “where” that might suggest a world other than the one I now live in, and there is no other world, or is there?

Spirit tells me that we live in a multidimensional world, wherein, both seen and unseen intelligent, to greater or lesser degrees, beings not only live but interact with us, whether we are aware of this reality or not.

I can imagine that possibility, now that I have learned to accept Spirit’s presence and influence in my personal life We seem to share and co-create our relationship with each other.

Spirit tells me that all creativity expressed on the material or physical level of existence, or Life. is simply the manifestation of an inner relationship with so-called other worlds, of other ways of being.

A Not-So-Inner Dialogue

Spirit tells me that we seem to experience a not-so-inner dialogue and relationship with each other.

I sometimes wonder if Spirit is a Spirit at all. Perhaps He is a personal Muse.

What difference would it make?  Spirit asks me.

I suggest that there is a very clear difference between the two guiding energies. A Muse inspires creativity, whereas a Spirit Guide is a teacher of Perennial Wisdom.

I accuse Spirit of suppressing my creativity, such as it might be, by seeming to keep it at a pre-school level, unless, of course, I am using him to excuse my own lock of personal creativity.

Even my small garden would benefit from some inspiration, if Spirit would offer it. Perhaps He’s just not into gardening.

I Complain to Spirit, Again

Posted on by under Uncategorized

This time, my complaint to Spirit is about someone in my life, whom I do not understand. Her attitude and her behaviour do not make sense to me.

Spirit tells me that she is what she is because that is the way she is.

The only question that makes sense, He tells me, is why is she or why does she seems to be the way she seems to be?

The answer is, Spirit explains, is that her original nature has been modified by lived experience, followed by at least some degree of reflection on that lived experience. This has provided her with a certain degree of understanding as to the causes and consequences of her lived experiences.

Perhaps, He concludes, she is satisfied, more or less, with the way she seems to some to be.

The past that we think we remember

Posted on by under Uncategorized

Spirit tells me that the past that we think we remember, was not a memory then.

When we were there, it was a now, with memories of its own.

We may have lived the past that we remember, He tells me, but not exactly as we remember.

We now can look back and choose to see our then situation from the view of an observer, or stay locked into the more limited view that we necessarily had, then.
