Just read this book http://www.amazon.com/Dreaming-Yourself-Awake-Tibetan-Transformation/dp/159030957X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411038455&sr=8-1&keywords=alan+b+wallace+lucid+dreaming Dreaming yourself awake ... alan wallace. Not bad I thought though I skim read the philosophy parts. been keeping dream journal for a few nights ... I've had lucid dreams in the past but a bit random and didn't really focus on them too much. But after two nights of following some of the suggestions in this book had a brief and very nice lucid dream last night. Anyone know a good method or a better book? Any accomplished dreamers here? I'm sure there are and I know its been discussed before.

Completely bonkers year as far as nature goes. I'm talking about cultivated plants and vegetables mostly, nothing grew or matured as per normal.

I agree meditation is enough in the sense that it is the key to development. However most people benefit from a holistic system such as Buddhism or Taoism which includes ethics (or some approach to daily living) and also intellectual training in the appropriate set of ideas and understanding to enhance your practice. What you need is the big picture so your practice can settle within it. What you don't need are the ideas of speed (real spiritual progress requires a level of maturity which does take time) and focus on developing powers (siddhis). Siddhis are great don't get me wrong but they need to be nurtured within some larger and more human goals or they become characterised as circus acts.

How do the Hexagrams transform from 1-64/ Sequence Theory

This in bold is what I don't understand. -

Apech replied to Uroboros's topic in Yijing
I think that is likely but it is also true that the historical period is seen as reflecting a heavenly (or Daoist) pattern. -

I agree with that but you said 26 transforms to 28 ... did you mean 27? or other wise can you explain. -

Yes but Daelin was quoting a different sequence. -
How do the Hexagrams transform from 1-64/ Sequence Theory
Apech replied to Uroboros's topic in Yijing
The way I see the King Wen sequence (after a look at the Xugua) is this. The whole sequence is 'defined' by the first two hexs Heaven and Earth. All the myriad creatures come into being due to the interaction of these two. The sequence is ended by Already Crossed 63 and then Not Yet Crossed 64 because 63 is all the lines in the right places according to the numerology of odd = yang and even = yin. And so the complete sequence comes to resolution in 63 but then since Change is always occurring begins again in 64. After Heaven and Earth we get 3. Difficulty at the beginning (Birth throws) and 4. Youthful Folly (Innocence) which is the first step of a 'creature' brought into being by the interaction of Heaven and Earth. Then follows sequential pairs which describe the process following this birth and state of innocence. So in fact the King Wen order is not so much mathematical in its design but a meditation on existence and the experience of being alive and subject to change. I think this is why it is so powerful and became standard. -

Apech replied to Uroboros's topic in Yijing
Sorry I'm not clear why you are saying 26 transforms to 28. 27 changes to 28 by converting yin to yang and visa versa. ....ah got it it's what Cleary calls the odd sequence. -
--- Moderator Message --- We're only a few posts in to this thread and already there is a dispute over something which is not the subject. Please avoid name calling like 'you are disgusting' but equally it would be helpful for people to concentrate on the subject matter rather than peripherals like the (very brief) book plugs at the end of that video. After all if someone watches that vid and finds it interesting why would they not want to know there was a book on the subject by the speaker? And should all books be provided free? I don't think that's possible. So I really don't see the point of post number 3. --- Message Ends ---
