Power of Your Mind as Explained by Yijing

The Power of Your Mind — As Explained by Yijing

In today’s AI-driven world, we are told that intelligence is everything. But what if your greatest power lies not in what you know, but in how you use your mind?

Ancient wisdom from the Yijing (I Ching) — the Book of Changes — shows us that true power does not come from force or intellect alone.

It comes from alignment, flow, and conscious choice. And that starts with the mind.

Let’s explore this through three practical lenses drawn from the Yijing and reinforced by powerful mental mastery principles.

1. You Are Not Your Mind

The mind is a powerful tool, but a poor master.

When left unchecked, your mind:
  • Thinks non-stop, often looping the same thoughts.
  • Obsesses over the past or worries about the future, rarely staying in the present moment.
  • Generates 70% negative thoughts on average.
Yijing teaches us through its ever-changing hexagrams that nothing is fixed.

If your mind is stuck in judgment, comparison, or drama, you are no longer flowing with the Dao — the Way.

Shift: From Mind-Controlled → Present-Aware

Instead of being consumed by your thoughts, become aware of them. See them like clouds passing through the sky, not your identity, just mental weather.

This is the path to Hexagram 24: Fu (Return): the return to your true self.

2. Let Go of the 3 Mind Traps: Judge, Compare, Drama

When your mind is disconnected from your heart, it:
  • Judges everything: good/bad, right/wrong.
  • Compares constantly: to others, to expectations, to the past.
  • Creates drama: overthinking, reacting, emotional storms.
This is the trap of imbalance, what Yijing calls “Li” — fire that flares without grounding.

But the moment you shift from judgment to acceptance, something magical happens:
  • You come back into balance (Yin and Yang).
  • You start operating from love, not fear.
  • You activate the Oneness and harmony that Hexagram 1 (Qian) and Hexagram 2 (Kun) represent — the creative and the receptive in perfect dance.

Key Principle: Accept What Is. Choose What’s Next.

3. Tools to Align Your Mind with Your Destiny
In the Yijing, everything evolves through intentional change. Similarly, the mind can be re-trained to create rather than destroy.

Here are power tools for mental mastery:
  • Affirmations: Speak with power. “I like myself.” “I am enough.”
  • Declarations: Own your truth. “I am ready.” “I will rise.”
  • Goals: Create intention. “This is what I choose.”
  • Faith + Expectation: “I believe something good will happen today.”
  • Self-esteem: Not ego — but a deep trust that “God wants me to be rich, healthy, and happy.”
From Hexagram 46: Sheng (Pushing Upward)

Your mind is the soil. Your words are seeds. What you expect, you water. What you believe, you receive.

Conclusion: Mind Power, Yijing Style

Yijing doesn’t just teach change. 
It teaches us how to navigate change with consciousness. 
And the first place to master is your mind.

Don’t let your mind drag you into fear, comparison, or past regrets.
Use it to align with your present, your power, and your purpose.

Speak life. Expect greatness. Accept what is, and lead from love.

Because in the end, it’s not your IQ that defines your destiny.

It’s your LQ — Love Intelligence, powered by the still, wise mind within.

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...
