We've come again to the beginning of the week, having traveled our path and received the wisdom of the universe for the last 6 days. So let us meditate on the lessons of the last week and prepare ourselves for the journey yet to come.
We started the week with the pressure building, pushing us towards Ta Kuo (Critical Mass). We realized that life was pushing us to explode out of the box we had put outselves in. Life was giving us the message to finally step out into the light and show everyone what we got.
But as with all things in life as soon as we stepped out the door we found ourselves stuck behind Jian (Obstruction), something still standing in our way. Many people would simply turn around, close the door and go back to bed. But life was here to tell us not to give up but find a better way. If you can't go around, go under, if you can go under, go over and if you can't go over,. go through. But it is time to find a better way not to give up.
As we are contemplating our obstruction and what we need to do to overcome it, the universe sends us a message to remember we have Da Zhaung (Great Power). But we must be faithful to who we are and use our power with care and responsibly. We are being given power so that we might use our wisdom and right judgement to over come the obstruction that stands in our way.
Just when we begin to see our power and begin to move towards finding a way passed our Jian (Obstruction), the cavalry arrives in the form of Shih (Army) which returns with changing lines to point out new truths to us. Shih comes with two separate messages and it is up to us to determine which one is for each of us. On one hand Shih says that what we are fighting for might not be worth winning - the prize may have no value. And on the other hand Shih is saying the battle is over, lay down your arms and go home to build a life with those who support and nourish you. So it is up to us to discern which of Shih's messages is meant for us and find our true path.
If you have deciphered the message of Shih, the universe comes to invite you by sending Fu (Return) to you. The message is to come home, to return to who you truly are at your core before circumstances and situations forced you to become someone else. Fu is about going home again and finding the person you truly are.
And finally the last message of the week was Shih He (Biting Through) , we began the week with Ta Kuo (Critical Mass) understanding that energy was building within us to push us out from where we were to a better place and now at the end of the week, Shih He comes to tell us it is time to break through, to use the energy of Ta Kuo break free of everything that no longer serves us.
As we begin this next week in our journey may the lessons of the journey so far become part of us and help us on our way as we continue to walk the path in friendship.
