62.mycal8 -- Small Exceeding

From <62.mycal8 - YouTube>

Hexagram 62

By: James Byrd

I. The Oracle 

A. Hexagram sixty-two is Xiao Guo, or Small Exceeding. Additional interpretations include Preponderance of the Small and Small Surpassing. The lower trigram is Gen: bound or mountain, and the upper trigram is Zhen: shake or thunder.      

B. The Judgment

   1. The Preponderance of the Small. Success.
       Perseverance furthers. Small things may be done; great things should not be done.
   2. The flying bird brings the message: It is not well to strive upward, 
       It is well to remain below. Great good fortune.

C. The Image

  1. Thunder on the mountain: (you heard?)
      a) The image of Preponderance of the Small.
      b) Thus, in his conduct, the superior man gives preponderance to reverence.
           In bereavement, he gives preponderance to grief.
           In his expenditures, he gives preponderance to thrift. 

II. Another interpretation 

A. "Small Exceeding"

Being somewhat modest is the theme of this hexagram. Do not overextend beyond your natural limits, although internally you might feel this is a time for you to take on more, for now, stay within your limits, sir.

As a means of staying in tune with the times, we are told to dwell on the idea of thrift and that of accepting the rewards of our small workings. Taking the low road would be a good idea for now. Again, do not fly too high as to overextend our assets, take things as they come good or bad, be subjective about all matters for the moment.

Do not get overinvolved with anger, impatience, or despair. Although you do hold a precarious position at the moment, which is above and beyond the ordinary, negative tenets such as anger, impatience, and despair, could lead to an avoidable downfall.

Have the mindset of humility and acceptance of your appointed position, be creative and take things as they come. Do not be so much objective with entrenched and rigid mandates. Take it one step at a time.

Hexagram 28

by James Byrd

I. The Oracle 

A. Hexagram twenty-eight is related to Great Excess, hence, Great Exceeding.

Another variation would be the idea of Preponderance of the Great and Great Surpassing. The time is correct; there is a sense of excess to the extent that there is a danger of overload of a supporting structure or beam. The beam which supports the length of a roof is almost at its breaking point. If only there were vertical columns within the structure to reinforce the horizontal beam. Excesses need support as well.
   1. Now is a good time to cross the great water. Success if you take action in any direction.
   2. Great Excess:
With this we see success with movement in any direction, this movement can be seen as a movement towards change and improvement, or towards that of stagnation. We wish to move from modesty and non-action. Take that first step in what you feel is a strategic direction!

B. The Image

  1. The lake rises above the trees
      a) Success with movement and in whatever you do expect improvement
      b) Thus the superior man, when he stands alone, is unconcerned, and if he has to renounce the  world, he is undaunted

II. My interpretation 

A. I know I am speaking out of context when it comes to sports, especially football. But can you call the Super Bowl somewhat crazy? Mostly all things are related to numbers. Take hexagram 49 for example, that hexagram is related to revolution, what team would you expect? Trust me there was no mistake, numbers are numbers. Today I am looking at twenty-eight on My Calendar of Days.

   1. The main idea is that there must be support in times of Great Excesses. Also, we can see the old man takes on a young wife, with this we see a rotting willow producing shoots, General improvement or that of rejuvenation. The old women will take a young husband, the image we see here is flowers sprouting from a rotting willow, what is the difference? Its all the same, Marriage, especially the uniting of the young bride.

14. Great Measure

Hexagram 14

By: James Byrd

I.The Oracle 

A. Hexagram four-teen is called Da You, or Great Possessing. Various interpretations include Possession in Great Measure or The Great Possession. The lower trigram is Qian: force or heaven, and the upper trigram is Li: radiance or fire.   

   

B. The Judgment

   1. Possession in Great Measure.
   2. Supreme success.

C. The Image

  1. Fire in heaven above:
      a) The image of Possession in Great Measure.
      b) Thus the superior man curbs evil and furthers good,
           And thereby obeys the benevolent will of heaven. 

II. My interpretation 

A. "Great Harvest"

With this hexagram, we see a person who has overtime acquired great possessions and that is due not so much to that person’s position in life, but also it should reflect his ability to champion virtuous acts performed by others, and suppressing other acts that are not so much virtuous.

Another thing to keep in check is to not let your possessions dictate the crucial decisions that must be made in your daily life. Remain detached from your possessions, there are things to be considered as utility or common happenstance by-products, meaning the possession must match the position that that person holds in life. Such be it, a king should have an indoor pool. Not so much for a common person.

The theme now is harvest, time to pick and save our accumulating products on our overloaded wagon. Although the farmer has an expansive spread, his focus is on one tree at a time. Be not the one who wants to match his neighbor in any aspect, even grains of sands are not, more or less equal.

If one is as he should be, as it relates to the sentiments stated above, others will take heed, and rally to his aide, like unto a gift from heaven.

Heavenly Tread

by James Byrd

I. The Oracle 

A. Hexagram one is directly related to The Creative Principle, The Origin, hence, the source of all sources.

Another variation would be that which sustains the earth, as earth hangs from its Heavenly Tread. It is like a clock, it works or sustains this this-ness via providing the correct time for all mandated evolutional occurrences, this is only because all of the parts are as they should be, such that, why is the moon there? Equilibrium.
   1. The Creative works sublime success, like the prisoner in solitary confinement, you are within your temple, which is your solitary body. You must ready yourself with such tools as Qigong, Tai Chi, Yoga, Meditation, and any forms of activities that are deemed to make you somewhat strong-minded and untiring. In essence, always be ready for the long haul.
   2. The Creative:
The Dragon Hides and makes himself strong and untiring. The creative or on these types of days we can say, as in heaven, so as it is here on earth, like that of a raindrop, which travels from one realm to another.

B. The Image

  1. The movement of heaven is full of power
      a) Ready yourself please for long life, leave the wonders of heaven to the originator, just sustain in your uniquely given vessel, ready your body for Long Life, always be ready for the long haul
      b) Thus there is a sublime success, staying on the right path brings just rewards. For you.

II. My interpretation

A. The Creative can be seen when we view the vastness of the sky and believe me, there is also a boundary somewhere up and out there, just as a glass that holds water, or the Qi within the body, containment. Knowing when to retreat, and when to advance, only the Sage knows that, after regular meditation, it becomes a knack. Update: (6-25-19) "If you think Snake, and within the hour, you see a snake, that's solid."

   1. Again, this ability represents one who is in accord with heaven here on earth, UNION. For this date, it means the Dragon, or in a sense one who forges himself for pending or ceaseless activity. We see also with this hexagram that of the creative being both, above and below, hence, as above, so below. And don't tell me, fog. If you look at the ground you will see heaven seated there firmly on the plateau of earth, even the clouds obey.

From earth, that layer of atmosphere seated firmly on earth is the connecting aspect of heaven, more or less. Mind you now, at times, the atmosphere that directly surrounds us now, has more than average influence on our current activities, it is from above.

Now today we are under the influence of The Creative. With this, we also see the Sage who will appear to some to be above it all, yet The One who is the common cause, The Great and The Origination of Power, hence, The Darkness that surrounds all Lights. Ready Yourself, and know this, The Dragon even with his profound vastness, sustains earth by hiding within a drop of water.

Update: (The year of the Dragon begin on 2-9-24.) We are in the year of the Rabbit.  1-19-23

Good Morning H-23

Hexagram 23

I. The Oracle 

A. Hexagram twenty-three is related to or has reference to Peeling Off, hence, the splitting apart of something.

Another variation would be the idea of peeling off something such as an onion to get to the core of the origin. The time is not correct for drastic movements in any direction; at best stay still and wait on the will of heaven. Again, there is no advantage in whatever direction one might take at this time, if you do, take it slow.
   1. Now is not a good time to cross the great water. I say that because as the image depicts, that of the mountain which sits upon the earth. There is no movement with this instance. There is some headway if one recognizes that like the mountain keeping still fares well at this time and yield to the times of meditation and planning for upcoming strategic activities.
   2. Splitting Apart:
This is the times of Falling Apart. One must at most strengthen his or her present position by strengthening those below, that way peace and stability are ensured. Remember, the mountain has for its support the earth, in order to fortify the foundation of the mountain, it will fare well to ensure that the density of the earth, or else there will be a collapse. Help from above fortifies the foundation. The bottom of the barrel supports the contents.

B. The Image

  1. Mountain sitting on the earth
      a) In whatever you do expect little movement, except when ensuring the plans of others
      b) Thus there is no advantage in whatever direction movement is made, unless you are just lucky, the four leaf clover

II. My interpretation 

A. There is a tendency for things to collapse at this time; no matter how well planned the objectives. It’s just not the time. Again, all I can see for today is go nowhere, do nothing, take no action whatever at this time the best resolve is to ensure the plans of others, forego your own plans until a later date.

   1. Again, now is not a good time to cross the great river, in plain words, there will be going and coming with some loss. The hexagram has more to do with that bad dream you had last night, and trust me, I know you did. As the hexagram denotes while one is asleep there is an attempt to saw one of the legs of the bed by a prankster, hence, interference of sleep or a bad dream, so to speak. I did too. The core of your body is at work insuring homeostasis at this time. That could be the reasons for the hexagram warnings against any kind of activities at this time. Most hexagrams have the effects of three days before, and three days after an indicated change. In three days, there are two things about to happen, an eclipse and the spring equinox. Remember, that there is no success in seeking any destinations at this time. The weak prevail over the strong and correct. The superior person recognizes the effects of time and adheres to the fact that at this time within the continuum the inferior men will at this time be predominating. (Update 7-8-2019) Splitting apart sort of reminds one of an Earthquake. It recalls the situation of the bell curve and degrees of movement, in this incident, there are three days before and three days after the main event.
