I Ching as a Way to Enlightenment
Spirit explains the I Ching hexagram 61 – Sincerity.
Sincerity follows Discipline in the sequential order
of events and situations experienced along the I Ching
Way to enlightenment.
When discipline and sincerity travel together within
the mind of the seeker of wisdom and truth, then
progress is certain.
What if they’re both going down the wrong road?
Then, progress is still assured.
Then, discipline and sincerity are not sufficient
to progress in the desired direction?
Yes, they are not.
What else is required?
Awareness.
Of what?
Not of what?
Where?
Yes.
Then, a map and a guide are required?
Yes.
My mind would resist.
Why?
A certain sense of personal responsibility for choices
of directions taken or forms of discipline accepted
and followed would require me to question myself and
any teacher, regardless of how much I might admire her
or him.
Yes, and that is as it should be.
