oneness; just realize
that.

It is foolish
to think about attaining

There are many occasions in life which tempt us into negative thoughts. Anxiety about the future, mistrust of another person, bodily pain, fear of failure or even success—all of these tempt us into mistrusting life and believing that life is against us. When we fall into this trap, we are in opposition to the workings of the Creative and success becomes impossible.
The simple truth is that every moment in every person’s life contains the teaching he or she most needs at the time. It is not always immediately apparent why a thing is happening because the Sage is often inclined to work in a roundabout fashion. Nonetheless, whatever is happening now is what must happen. Our only task is to trust the process and allow the lesson to seep in.
This hexagram comes as a signal that you are resisting life and preventing your own progress. Nonetheless, success is still possible, for every opposition carries within it the seeds of agreement. Cease resisting yourself, others, life, the Sage. Let go of dark thoughts and aggressive actions. By returning to acceptance, neutrality, and devotion to the way of the Sage, you dissolve the opposition within yourself and open the way for understanding and good fortune to arrive.

Neither life, the Sage, nor
your companions seek to harm you.
Lay aside mistrust and release the
tensions of the moment.

attained the Way,
don’t admonish others.
Don’t waste time blaming
yourself, either. Just
attain the Way.

The teaching
of the Integral Way will go on
as long as there is a tao and someone who
wishes to embody it; what is painted in
these scrolls today will appear in
different forms in many
generations to
come.
These things,
however, will never change:
Those who wish to attain oneness must
practice undiscriminating virtue. They must
dissolve all ideas of duality: good and bad, beautiful
and ugly, high and low. They will be obliged to abandon
any mental bias born of cultural or religious belief.
Indeed, they should hold their minds free
of any thought which interferes with
their understanding of the
universe as a harmonious
oneness.
The
beginning
of these practices is
the beginning of
liberation.
