SuperME has its Roots in Yijing (Indirectly)

Yes, it's true. SuperME does have philosophical and structural roots in Yijing (I Ching), even if indirectly.

1. Strength: Inner Power Over Outer Influence

“Yijing teaches us to be strong, and so does SuperME.”

Yes. In Yijing, especially Hexagram 1 Qian (The Creative), strength is not about aggression but about self-discipline, moral clarity, and unshakable alignment with natural laws. It’s strength rooted in Dao, not ego.

SuperME, similarly, teaches us to stand strong in who we are, and not be swayed by others’ opinions, which is Hexagram 10 Lü (Treading)—walk carefully but firmly on dangerous ground with dignity.

🧠 Connection:
Yijing gives us the wisdom of strength, while SuperME gives us the framework to live it daily.

2. Authenticity: The Inner Trigram as the Real You

“SuperME is about being real. Yijing teaches us to examine the lower trigram—the inner world.”

Yijing's hexagram is read from the bottom up, because change begins within. The lower trigram represents your inner state, while the upper trigram is how you interact with the world.

This reflects the SuperME philosophy of aligning with your Purpose (Dao), Love (Ren), and Gratitude (Gan En)—which are all internal energies before they are expressed outward.

SuperME also distinguishes between SuperME vs Survival-Me, which parallels the authentic lower trigram vs the outer reactive upper trigram.

🧠 Connection:
Yijing teaches us to start from the inside. SuperME tells us to remove the mask and live from our truth.

3. Change: Embracing Cycles and Uncertainty

“Yijing teaches impermanence. SuperME gives confidence when things don't go well.”

This is one of the deepest alignments between the two systems.

Yijing's entire model is based on constant change (變易), unchanging principles (不易), and simplicity (簡易).

SuperME is designed to help us remain whole even when life breaks apart. When you embody Purpose, Love, and Gratitude, you can flow with change without losing your center.

This mirrors Hexagram 63 Ji Ji (Already Fulfilled) turning into Hexagram 64 Wei Ji (Not Yet Fulfilled)—even completion is temporary. You must stay balanced through the ups and downs.

🧠 Connection:
Yijing prepares your mind for change, SuperME prepares your identity and energy for that same change.

Conclusion: Does SuperME Have Roots in Yijing?

Yes, absolutely—whether intentionally or spiritually inspired, SuperME stands on the same philosophical ground as Yijing:
  • Lower Trigram (Inner) is SuperME (Authentic Self)
  • Dao (Purpose) Purpose, Ren (Humaneness, Influence) is SuperME Love
  • 64 Hexagrams (Life Patterns) is the 4 Versions of Me (Inner Cycles)
  • Oneness, Energy Flow is the PLG Energy States
  • Embrace Change, Be Like Water is Flow with Gratitude and Confidence in SuperME
  • Reflective Decision Making is Conscious Living & Journaling in SuperME
So we can say:
“SuperME is a modern embodiment of the ancient Yijing wisdom. Where Yijing gives us the map, SuperME gives us the fuel and the courage to walk the path.”

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
