Explanation of the hexagram

full explanation of the 36th hexagram → Ming Yi: Eclipse (Defeat) of light

Explanation of each trait

explanation of the features of the hexagram from bottom to top

When reading the "Book of Changes" it is easy to see that hexagrams follow each other in opposite directions. So, if the first hexagram consisted entirely of strong features and denoted pure creativity, then the second hexagram consisted only of weak features and represented pure performance. The previous hexagram was the image of the sun rising above the earth, and this 36th hexagram is the image of the sun descending to the earth. This, in fact, points to the next moment: the ability to retreat at the right moment, for if a person only stepped outside, then the correct rhythm of human activity would be disturbed, we would face the threat of defeat of his radiance. Therefore, this situation is called the Defeat of the Light. Here the light must descend into darkness, into the depths of the earth. In addition, there is another interpretation of the name of the hexagram, because the second of the words denoting it also means a barbarian. Based on this meaning, the name Ming-i can be translated "enlightenment of the barbarians", i.e. descent from a cultural height of a high level to people of low culture. Both options exist in the commentary literature, although Wan Yi insists on the first one only. In such a descent, one naturally encounters difficulties. But it is precisely in difficulties, in particular in tarnishing, that it must remain steadfast, i.e. always act on the basis of your innocence. That is why the short text says here: Defeat of the Light. Fortitude in hardships is good.

Since the starting position for this situation was the ascent of light, i.e. of the sun, to its heights, insofar as the first position of this hexagram begins with the image of flight, because it descends here from the heights of its years. Therefore, it is better not to act for yourself here. Here you need to have the courage to stop your ascent and you need to have the courage to endure hardships in your actions aimed at the benefit of other people, because it is in overcoming difficulties that what is the goal of the activity of this situation can be achieved here. It is only with activities directed in this way that a person can count on the fact that a person standing above him will pay attention. So the text says here: In the beginning, a strong trait. Defeat of the world. His wings drop in flight. A noble person does not eat for three days on the road, but he has a place to go, and his master will talk about him.

The defeat, which is characteristic of this situation, here begins to operate further and further. And you need a very great power of the one who provides support for the situation to have a favorable outcome. The horse in the symbolism of animals according to the "Book of Changes" means great power, active power. Therefore, in the text we read: Weak trait in second place. Defeat of the world. He's hit in the left thigh. We need support as powerful as a horse. Happiness.

In ancient Chinese beliefs, the south was not seen as the area most illuminated by sunlight, but, in view of the dynamism of this worldview, as the area where the sun begins to gradually decline. Therefore, the third position, where the general characteristic of this situation makes itself felt most of all - the defeat of the light - gives an image of precisely the southern hunt. But at this time there may be a victory over a great evil, for the light that has been lifted up above the earth here descends back to the earth in order to illuminate those who are lagging behind, i.e. destroy their evil of ignorance. Of course, with such a descent, a person can move away from his own greatness, in a certain sense, lose it, but this is precisely what he should not be sad about, for such is his mission - descent to the stragglers. These thoughts are expressed in the text as follows: Strong feature in third place. The light is struck on the southern hunt. But a big head will be obtained. You can't worry about resilience.

The mood of self-giving, sacrificial retreat from one's height is very much felt in the aphorism of the fourth line. Here, from his own experience of being, a person already goes to another. For here already the upper begins, i.e. external trigram. This is the mood of a man leaving his proper place. And it is all permeated with a sense of defeat of the light. This lesion touches the very part of the abdomen. Therefore, the text says: Weak trait in fourth place. The lesion will pierce into the left side of the abdomen. You will keep the feeling of the defeat of the light when you go outside the gates of the house and yard.

In the arsenal of Chinese national heroes is the famous courtier Ji-Tzu. This is a man who lived in the 11th century. BC, according to tradition, and the former chief adviser at the court of the then king. At this time there was a change of dynasties. Ji-tzu, despite the fact that the ruler of the new dynasty did his best to persuade him, as a person who had achieved art in government, to his side, nevertheless preferred to retire from all political activity and, as legend says, settle on the edge of the country, where in present-day Korea. He preferred complete solitude and life among people of a foreign and less developed culture than the service of someone whom he considered a usurper. The attachment says that he wrote the so-called "Great Plan" ("Hong fan"). This work subsequently became very widely known. Even for us, as the first beginnings of philosophizing in China (although the authorship of Chi-tzu is hardly correct), it is of great interest. And the Chinese authors consider Chi-tzu as an image of a person who consciously departed from his possible glory, gave his knowledge to less developed people, but, nevertheless, subsequently glorified and ascended to a height. The fifth position represents the maximum expression of the given situation as a whole. Therefore, an image associated with the name Ji-tzu was revealed here. The text says here: Weak trait in fifth place. The Defeat of Light Ji-tzu. Favorable stamina.

The final completion of the process leads to the fact that all the light forces of light that were acquired in the previous situation must fade here. Here it is only possible to remember what was in the past the glory of a given person, but it is here that the most intense comparison of what was achieved in the past and what the necessity of the present has led to is possible. That's why the text says here: Above is a weak feature. You don't shine, you fade. First you will rise to the sky, and then you will plunge into the earth.

The value of the book of changes is difficult to overestimate. Anyone who has ever touched this greatest and most mysterious manifestation of human wisdom and divine providence knows this. “The darkest night is before dawn,” how much these words mean to a person who is going through difficult moments in his life. But this is exactly what hexagram 36 speaks about. Amazed light - this is how hexagram No. 36 is translated into Russian. In Chinese, it looks like this 明夷 and sounds - min-i.

In general terms, the prediction associated with this hexagram can be interpreted as changes for the worse, delay in business, money problems, unexpected betrayal and unpleasant surprises. Advice - patience and less self-conceit. Everything seems to be clear. However, the meaning of the book of changes does not tolerate simplification and primitivism. Everything is much thinner, deeper, more significant. The key to understanding this ancient Chinese predictive technique lies in the fact that the hexagrams following one after another change sign: either plus or minus. If, for example, in the first hexagram everything is characterized in iridescent colors, then the next - the second hexagram, already indicates the reverse side of the coin and speaks of possible problems. Here we apply the mathematical principle of the sinusoid, the essence of which is in harmonic oscillations.

The symbol of the 35th hexagram is the shining sun rising over the horizon - this is a positive sign. According to the logic of the book of changes, the next hexagram should be negative. The way it is. Hexagram No. 36 is the sun that has set below the horizon. The day is over, the night has come. The Book of Changes would not be the greatest creation of ancient Chinese wisdom if the prediction lay on the surface so unambiguously and categorically. The meaning of the 36th hexagram is to give hope. The first part of the interpretation warns of the coming night: things are going uphill, but the pendulum has been launched, everything created can be destroyed. A time of trial and loss is coming. The second part gives hope: you need to stock up on patience and courage, trials strengthen the spirit, soon everything will change for the better.

This hexagram calls for patience and a deep understanding of the moment being experienced. Yes, a successful path has been traveled, a store of knowledge, skills, recognition has been accumulated, but now the moment has come for tests of fortitude, the ability to part with the past, learn to live not only for yourself, be ready to start everything from scratch. Figuratively speaking, the proud eagle, freely soaring high in the sky, it's time to land on the ground and wait for better times. Nobility of thoughts and deeds is put at the forefront, as a result of awareness of one's place in life.

If we are talking about a career, then the loss of such a 36th hexagram may indicate that for a certain period of time, career advancement will be problematic. She warns of possible intrigues of ill-wishers, changes in working conditions, wage cuts and even dismissal.

At the same time, not everything is so bad, since you can emerge from the trials as a winner and, as a result, conquer peaks that you never even dreamed of. So, hexagram 36 is rather a strong recommendation to be gentler, smarter, more tolerant, nobler than an inevitable sentence.

If the question concerns problems in personal life, then it is possible to cool relations between lovers or spouses. This does not at all mean separation or divorce, but it warns that it is necessary to treat each other with understanding and patience, then after a certain period of time feelings will flare up with renewed vigor. Otherwise, scandals, mutual insults, misunderstandings await in family life, which, in the future, can lead to a break. If we make a comparison with the Scandinavian runes, then the 36th hexagram most likely corresponds to the 11th rune - Isa, which speaks of the freezing of the situation, that progress is problematic, and one must patiently wait for better times that will surely come.

The situation may change dramatically in the near future. Don't be overconfident. Also, do not indulge in love adventures. It is worth acting prudently and thoughtfully. Any actions of strangers can be interpreted incorrectly. But in the near future everything will change, everything will fall into place. It pays to be more economical.

The great Goethe once said that "in the case when fate puts spokes in your wheels, only worthless and weak spokes break." Another statement of the great German approaches the characteristics of the 36th hexagram, the paraphrase of which says that the one who has light in his heart will illuminate the darkness of the dungeon with it, and whoever has impenetrable darkness in his soul, the demons of the night will also appear under the sun. To understand oneself, one's feelings, one will see the true essence of what is happening and the book of changes, divination on coins, helps, which for the open wisdom of a person can become a guiding star in the stormy sea of \u200b\u200blife. The Book of Changes is over 5,000 years old. This priceless heritage was under threat of destruction during the Chinese Emperor Chin Shi Hua of the Di Dynasty. But Providence saved this mysterious Canon of Changes from the fire.

Today, the Book of Changes is classified as one of the seven spiritual wonders of the world, in which the inextricable connection of man with everything that exists is clearly traced, the variability of the surrounding world and the meaning of life lies precisely in it. At the heart of the hexagram, of which there are 64, are trigrams, which were created by the sage and ruler of Ancient China Fu Xi, who lived, according to some sources, as early as the fifth millennium BC. To lift the veil of the future and get advice from the Higher powers - a person from the beginning of time has been looking for a way to do this. I-Ching - the Book of Changes - is one of the oldest predictive canons in the history of mankind, which, for thousands of years, resorted to the best minds of civilization.

Total tol to ovaniya according to Yu.Shutsky.

When reading the "Book of Changes" it is not difficult to notice that hexagrams follow each other in opposite directions. So, if the first hexagram consisted entirely of strong features and denoted pure creativity, then the second hexagram consisted only of weak features and represented pure performance.

The previous hexagram was the image of the sun rising above the earth, and this 36th hexagram is the image of the sun descending to the earth.

This, in fact, points to the next moment: the ability to retreat at the right moment, for if a person only stepped outside, then the correct rhythm of human activity would be disturbed, we would face the threat of defeat of his radiance.

Therefore, this situation is called the Defeat of the Light. Here the light must descend into darkness, into the depths of the earth. In addition, there is another interpretation of the name of the hexagram, because the second of the words denoting it means
also a barbarian.

Based on this meaning, the name Ming-i can be translated "enlightenment of the barbarians", i.e. descent from a cultural height of a high level to people of low culture. Both options exist in the commentary literature, although Wan Yi insists on the first one only.

In such a descent, one naturally encounters difficulties. But it is precisely in difficulties, in particular in tarnishing, that it must remain steadfast, i.e. always act on the basis of your innocence.

That is why the short text says here: Defeat of the Light. Fortitude in hardships is good.

Description of external and hidden hexagrams

in the manifested world.
Above the vast endless plain night, impenetrable darkness. This is being in ignorance and fear of an incomprehensible and incomprehensible world.
And deep underground, a powerful fire flares up. From the inner plane comes the understanding of what is happening, as an insight.
A volcanic eruption begins: an indomitable inner fire breaks out to the surface. The change in inner awareness begins to manifest itself very rapidly in the world of events. The darkness recedes, red-hot magma licks the night sky with tongues of flame. The fear of the unknown, the incomprehensible recedes. Everything is clearing up. With clarity comes great passions and emotions. Where there was plain and darkness, flames will rage, and it will become bright as day. Ignorance and fears will be replaced by a new clear understanding of what is happening. It will bring great emotions and passions. On the SUBCONSCIOUS very quickly, like thunder, a huge tree grows, feeding on underground water. There is a very quick comprehension of the manifested reality due to a deep sense of great danger. Right under the tree, a huge underground sea is locked in the bowels of the Earth. The danger is real, locked in the depths of the subconscious, and huge as the sea. The tree deeply penetrated the roots into the earth and woke up the sea. Deep insight into the essence of what is happening revealed a great danger hidden in the depths. Water rushed to the surface in a stormy stream, sweeping away all obstacles. Once detected, the danger comes to the surface, sweeping away everything that held back its manifestation. The tree will be completely submerged in dangerous waters. Attention will be completely captured by the awareness of the dangerous situation. Where a huge tree used to grow quickly, dangerous sea waves will walk. Where previously there was a quick understanding of various aspects of life, soon everything will be immersed in the realization of a huge danger.

General interpretation of hexagram No. 36

In the manifested world, the light is locked deep underground. Big Earth symbolizes following the stereotypical picture of the world. Dogmas that have developed over the centuries, supported by a variety of experiences, crushed, firmly sealed the inner light. Dark! This is how the main fear of a person looks like, his deep confidence in his inevitable death. FEAR OF DEATH is outside, but inside it rages, an indomitable fire blazes. Fire breaks out, illuminating everything around. The fear of death will be overcome and then a new light will dispel the darkness of the night. Darkness will recede, light will come. Having ceased to be afraid of death, a person sees all events in a new way. On the subtle plane, everything becomes insignificant (vanity, mobility and excitement will go away). There will be a dangerous plunge into great water, into great danger. This is concentration, comprehension, a detailed study of the greatest fear of a person - the FEAR OF DEATH, while all other deeds and achievements immediately go by the wayside. There remains a deep immersion in a great danger, in the FEAR OF DEATH. In the world of events, FEAR OF DEATH will be overcome. The light of this victory will dispel the darkness of the night. On the contrary, realizations, doubts, thoughts about the FEAR OF DEATH will fill the subconscious plane. Despite overcoming the FEAR OF DEATH in the manifested life, it will not go anywhere from the subconscious. A person, while alive, cannot but be afraid of death, even if outwardly he looks absolutely fearless! ______________________________________________________________

MULTI-DIMENSIONALITY

(OPPOSITE VIBRATION OF HEXAGRAM #36)

TOTAL FEARLESS

ABSOLUTE FEARLESS - the complete absence of any fears and concerns. This is the achievement of paradise, nirvana in life. Probably, this is possible only with a complete disidentification with one's life. In fact, this person is in heaven right now, although he continues to walk on the ground with his feet. The state is practically unattainable for the vast majority of people. As long as people are alive, they will always be afraid of something, fear, they will always be immersed in the FEAR OF DEATH. __________________________________________________________________________________

THE OUTSIDE WORLD IS SHUT IN DARKNESS.

ONLY FROM THE INSIDE, FROM THE DEPTHS, FROM THE MOST THICKNESS OF THE EARTH, ANYTHING IS ALREADY BREAKING OUT OF AN INCREDIBLE FLAME, LIGHTING EVERYTHING AROUND.

YOU ARE EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE AFRAID!

FEAR OF DEATH - fear of the inevitable, inevitable finale of life, of death. Maybe you are not afraid of your physical death, but you probably worry about your children, or maybe you are overcome by doubts that your life is wasted? All fears and doubts come from FEAR OF DEATH.

.

Positions for awareness: 1. The fear of death is the primary basis, the root of all fears in general. A person who has overcome this fear ceases to be afraid of anything at all, and becomes inwardly fearless; begins to really fully live, breathe deeply.

2. The fear of death is the fear of the unknown. And suddenly there is nothing at all. The fear of death is unfounded and feeds on the fear of the disappearance of our ego. It is destroyed by the realization of the fact that there is no disappearance of matter or energy in nature, there are no such examples. In addition, we all went through birth, which, from the point of view of a child, is an irretrievable terrible departure from our reality, that is, a complete analogue of death. Thus, disappearance is impossible, and we have already experienced this terrible transition - birth, which turned out to be just another round of life. Overcoming the fear of death leads to rebirth on all levels.

3. Fear of death is an objective reality that concerns everyone. What is there after death? I need to muster up the courage and honestly say - I don’t know! However, we do not expect such a response and are not happy with such a response. I want to get an answer that is not scary to live with! We demand an answer and are ready to believe anything that will reassure us even a little. The need for an answer was realized in a variety of fairy tales and fables.

4. Faith or knowledge that we are not only a body, that there is life after death, helps to overcome this fear. Such belief often leads to completely different actions. So, the Hindus believe that there is a soul, and it is strongly connected with the body. Therefore, in order to break this connection and liberate the soul, the body must be destroyed - burned. The Egyptians also believe that there is a soul strongly associated with the body. Therefore, the body, as the haven of the immortal soul, should be preserved as best as possible - embalmed.

5. Death is considered a very sad event. The most common image of death is a terrible skeleton with a scythe. It is designed to scare adults. In fact, death, as a rule, is a deliverer from the torments of a drying up life, death is an assistant in the transition to another, more beautiful world. Her image is a beautiful languid woman with bottomless purple-black eyes and in purple clothes. How much happier the world would be if death were depicted in this way.

6. Life is a wonderful adventure and death is one of the most beautiful and exciting moments of this life.

7. Any fear is a kind of madness. After all, there are no frightening events now. There is only the fear that they might happen. Only crazy people are afraid of what is not!

When reading the "Book of Changes" it is easy to notice that the hexagrams follow each other in opposite directions. So, if the first hexagram consisted entirely of strong features and denoted pure creativity, then the second hexagram consisted only of weak features and represented pure performance. The previous hexagram was the image of the sun rising above the earth, and this 36th hexagram is the image of the sun descending to the earth. This, in fact, points to the next moment: the ability to retreat at the right moment, for if a person only stepped outside, then the correct rhythm of human activity would be disturbed, we would face the threat of defeat of his radiance. Therefore, this situation is called the Defeat of the Light. Here the light must descend into darkness, into the depths of the earth. In addition, there is another interpretation of the name of the hexagram, because the second of the words denoting it also means a barbarian. Based on this meaning, the name Ming-i can be translated as "enlightenment of the barbarians", i.e. descent from a cultural height of a high level to people of low culture. Both options exist in the commentary literature, although Wan Yi insists on the first one only. In such a descent, one naturally encounters difficulties. But it is precisely in difficulties, in particular in tarnishing, that it must remain steadfast, i.e. always act on the basis of your innocence. That is why the short text says here: Defeat of the Light. Fortitude in hardships is good.

In ancient Chinese beliefs, the south was not seen as the area most illuminated by sunlight, but, in view of the dynamism of this worldview, as the area where the sun begins to gradually decline. Therefore, the third position, where the general characteristic of this situation makes itself felt most of all - the defeat of the light - gives the image of precisely the southern hunt. But at this time there may be a victory over a great evil, for the light that has been lifted up above the earth here descends back to the earth in order to illuminate those who are lagging behind, i.e. destroy their evil of ignorance. Of course, with such a descent, a person can move away from his own greatness, in a certain sense, lose it, but he should not grieve about this, for such is his mission - descent to the stragglers. These thoughts are expressed in the text as follows: Strong feature in third place. The light is struck on the southern hunt. But a big head will be obtained. You can't worry about resilience.

Haislip interpretation

The situation will change very soon. Therefore, do not be overly self-confident, although you are now lucky. No need to embark on love adventures, try to act deliberately and prudently. You are used to being considered a darling of fate, therefore your actions can be misinterpreted. But do not worry, in the near future everything will change, will fall into place. No need to despair; but now your wishes will not come true. Be more frugal.
