How I Simplify the complex Yijing

  How I Simplify the complex Yijing In 154 pages, this is how I simplify and explain Yijing: 1. Use only English, because the Chinese text is using old Chinese, and few can understand 2. Keep it short, the book has to be light too, at just 86 grams, it is lighter than most handphones. In just A5 size (half of A4), you can fit this into anywhere 3. Avoid going deep into the 64 hexagrams, where everyone gets lost. Instead, I explain Yijing around it: talking about morals, applications, Yin and Yang, how the Ba Gua came about, and how to read the 64 Gua easily. 4. Focus on layman's application, especially the part on divination. You can use Yijing to solve your problems, and also consult the author FREE-of-Charge. 5. Use modern technology of random number generator instead of cumbersome and complex use of coins, sticks and throwing of dice. 6. Make it inspiring, the comments by the readers at the back of the book and page 3 are what I'm proud of 7. Go for Real. The chapter on 5 Mo...

Overview of the 64 Hexagrams Teachings

Overview of the 64 Hexagrams Teachings (by Andy Ng) Yijing 64 hexagrams are made up of six lines, which can be either solid Yang or broken Yin lines, and each hexagram has a specific name and meaning. Each hexagram is associated with a specific concept, such as change, difficulty, uncertainty, etc. The hexagrams are arranged in a specific order, and their meanings are said to evolve and change as one progresses through the sequence. The 64 hexagrams could represent your life. The key concepts associated with the hexagrams and their teachings include: 1. Start from inside. Each hexagram is read from the below trigram, which represents you and your subjective inner world, to the upper trigram, which means the objective outer world. This means that one should always look inside first in solving problems. People often look outside before examining themselves in solving problems, and this method causes more problems. Yijing is teaching us to be efficient: look internally first. 2. Chan...

Self Leadership and How Yijing Yin and Yang can Help in Self Leadership

Self-leadership is the process of taking responsibility for one's personal growth, development, and well-being. It involves setting personal goals, creating a vision for one's life, and actively managing one's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to achieve those goals. Self-leadership requires self-awareness, self-motivation, and self-discipline. The Yijing, also known as the Book of Changes, is an ancient Chinese text that is based on the concept of yin and yang. Yin and yang represent complementary, yet opposing, forces that are present in all aspects of life. Yin is associated with darkness, femininity, and passivity, while yang is associated with light, masculinity, and activity. In the context of self-leadership, the Yijing can be a helpful tool for understanding the balance between yin and yang energies in oneself. By recognizing and embracing both aspects, individuals can achieve a state of equilibrium and maximize their personal effectiveness. For example, someone who...

Hexagram 20: Guan (Observing)

Today is 20th of April, and let's learn Hexagram 20 Guan 观 Observing: This 6-line hexagram comprises two 3-line trigrams: Xun (Wind) trigram above the Kun (earth) trigram. It means your inner world (Kun) absorbs information while the external world is moving (Xun). This hexagram represents the idea of observing and studying things in order to gain knowledge and understanding. A symbol of introspection and self-reflection. Lesson: Take a step back and consider your actions and decisions before moving forward. A time to cultivate inner stillness and receptivity, allowing new insights and ideas to arise naturally. However, the hexagram also warns against becoming too absorbed in introspection, as this can lead to a sense of detachment and isolation from the world. Find a balance between inner contemplation and engagement with the world, using our insights to make positive changes and contribute to the greater good. Definitely very timely for us as we prepare for our day of work. Happy...

TikTok Algorithm – The Definitive Guide by Brandon Doyle

  TikTok Algorithm – The Definitive Guide by Brandon Doyle at  https://wallaroomedia.com/blog/social-media/tiktok-algorithm/ As of March 2023, TikTok has over 1 billion users with over 150 million in the U.S. alone. If your business targets people from 13 to 60, you have to be on Tik Tok as Tik Tok is the fastest growing social media app now.  H ere is the definitive breakdown of how the TikTok algorithm works. Subset of Users When a video is uploaded to TikTok, the For You algorithm shows it first to a small subset of users. These people may or may not follow the creator already, but TikTok has determined they may be more likely to engage with the video (based on their past behavior). If this initial group responds positively by either liking, sharing, or watching the entire video at a rate higher than what is normal for that account—TikTok then shows it to more people who it thinks share similar interests. That same process then repeats itself, and if this positive feed...

Oldest Book in the World is Made Up of Lines

The oldest book in the world is made up of symbols of lines.  The I-Ching, or Yi Jing , is an ancient Chinese divination text and the oldest of the Chinese classics. Its history is at least 7,000 years old and there are 3 primary authors: Fu Xi, King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty and Confucius. Four Facts about Yijing: 1. It is based on a system of Yin and Yang, the two opposing forces that permeate all things in the universe. The Yang is represented by an unbroken line while the Yin is represented by 2 broken lines of the same length. It is said that when you break the unbroken Yang line into 2, the 2 lines are called Yin. 2. Yijing explains the 8 phenomena of life: a. The universe and sky, b. The earth c. Quake and thunder d. River and water e. Fire f. Lake and pond g. Mountain h. Wind 3. The above 8 phenomena are represented by symbols of 3 lines, called The 8 Trigrams or Ba Gua. The 3 lines could be any combination of Yin or Yang lines. There are 8 such combinations. 4. Each of t...

Is There a Common Theme Among Yijing 64 Hexagrams?

After writing a book on the 64 Hexagrams, I find a common theme among them. The 64 hexagrams of Yijing or I Ching (also known as the Book of Changes) are a set of symbolic representations that can be used to understand and interpret the various aspects of life and the world around us. Each hexagram is made up of six lines, with each line either solid or broken, and each hexagram is associated with a particular meaning or theme. Some of the common themes that can be found among the 64 hexagrams include: 1. Change and transformation : Yijing is often used as a tool for divination and understanding the cyclical nature of change in the world around us. Many of the hexagrams deal with the idea of change and transformation, and how to navigate these shifts in life. 2. Balance and harmony : Many of the hexagrams focus on the idea of balance and harmony in life, and how to achieve and maintain this equilibrium. 3. Action and inaction : Yijing focuses on appropriate action and inaction, and how...
