Intuitive Reading from the I Ching or Book of Change: Navigate Contradiction through MODERATION.
In this intuitive reading, Soul Resources offers a variety of SOS formulas and Transformation Games using the Intuitive Learning Circles and the I Ching to help us navigate contradiction and get on the path to a better world based on the Common Good.
The I Ching
The original intent of the I Ching was based on an Eastern philosophy of observation and marking changes in natural and human events. Through many centuries and contributions from shamans and master teachers, including Lau Tzu and Confucius, the Book of Change was developed into a full philosophy for applying beneficial human conduct to varying circumstances. The Art of Feng Shui is part of that philosophy.Understanding the Larger Picture ~
When a roller coaster is being flung this way and that, it’s natural to cling onto something that you think will stabilize you. However, if you’re grabbing for something that is no longer there, you’re actually making your situation worse, whether you’re aware of the mistake or not. It may seem, in your mind, that because things used to work a certain way in the past, you’ll be safer to return there and that encourages you to grip on how things used to be even harder. This is a classic survival response and completely understandable.
You may feel safer for a moment, yet if you make the mistake of giving over the weight of your body to a construct that is going through its death throws, the CONTRADICTION you face will be exponentially greater.
This is the reason why Kuan Yin encourages us to stay in the I Ching Flow of MODERATION whenever things are in a state of CONTRADICTION.
“The ancient Chinese text describes finding MODERATION as the best way to make progress amidst chaos. The suggestion is to disengage from conflicts, extremes or opinionated attitudes and follow the guidance that comes from within instead. In almost any situation, if you are able to walk the middle road between extremes, there will be improvement in whatever you undertake.”
If you can pull back and come from a place of MODERATION, you might be able to look at your situation from a more objective perspective and find a way to pull yourself out of a very dangerous position.
The CONTRADICTIONS in your communications are an extreme example of how quickly people are becoming aware that clinging to the way things used to be creates stalemates and extreme instability. Social structures are falling apart, tangled and filled with outages, glitches, hijacking of information – these are all signs of the general CONTRADICTION that the old structures are going through.
The I Ching: Navigate CONTRADICTION.
To navigate the CONTRADICTIONS ahead effectively will demand extraordinary will power, determination and a strong vision for what you hope to accomplish.
“There is a strong sense of CONTRADICTION at work in the current situation. It may be a matter of opposing viewpoints — persons who are working at cross purposes to one another or an inner duality that brings indecision. You must now gain an understanding of these divergent forces and better accord yourself with the times. Great achievements are out of the question, since they cannot come about without complete co-operation and alignment. Only small endeavors and gradual influences will meet with good fortune.
There now exists an atmosphere for misunderstandings or estrangement between men and women. Their inherent polarity is at its peak as they retreat into their own individual natures. Bridging the gap that is now present is a profound moment for significant union… Use small, gentle influences now to bring about this mutual accord.
This is a time when you may meet with the dualism in your own nature. You may appear indecisive or equivocal to others as you weigh contradicting viewpoints. Never before have you been able to see both sides so clearly. Arbitrary predispositions such as patriotism, clannishness, fixed ideas of principle or class prejudice may become less important in your life as you begin to see things in the larger overview. The struggle between good and evil, life and death, and all such opposites may appear to be simply the natural interaction of the great forces in the universe, as you develop the perspective of the sage. This sense of oneness or wholeness in a world of CONTRADICTION can bring you great depth of character and peace of mind.”
~ Hexagram #38 CONTRADICTION, The I Ching Workbook, R.L. Wing
The Chinese Zodiac –
The Year of the Yin Water Rabbit officially started on January 22nd, 2023.
The beneficial qualities of the Rabbit are said to be: Docile. Fertile. Tender. Quiet. Gentle. Cautious. Considerate. Her fertility and connection with women’s health is legendary, although whether you consider that beneficial or not is entirely up to you!
Her more challenging qualities are liable to be: Irresolute. Skittish. Stubborn. Timid. Escapist. Plus, the rabbit is considered by many to be a trickster, although her tricks can be viewed as warnings about how we may be tricking ourselves.
With these generalities in mind, what do you gather you need to do differently to prepare for and work with this energy? What is the message from this Archetypal Animal? Are there any warnings? Opportunities?
Is there something specific I could ask about that would be beneficial?
What would you need to do to make friends with her?
So, that’s a lot of changes to adjust to.
Soul Resources To Navigate Contradiction:
As as always, Kuan Yin has offered her help and assistance through a specially chosen collection of Transformation Games, Mind Exercises and Self-care Formulas. This year, she is advising us move through the CONTRADICTIONS with special cooperative arrangements with Plant and Animal Totems from Gifts from the Rainforest.

Set things right again with the Plant Spirits Guide.
Self-discipline Will Help Us Navigate CONTRADICTION ~
“Because of a general atmosphere of CONTRADICTION and opposition you may fail to recognize someone who can sincerely help you. This person may reveal himself in spite of the mistrust that clouds your perspective. Working together on current plans will now bring good fortune.” ~ Fifth Changing Line, CONTRADICTION, The I Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing
