I read the IChing every day for spiritual inspiration and clarity. This one came up yesterday and is reflective of my previous post.
Judgment - Even the thought of bias must be overcome if enlightened decisions are to be made.
Innocence - Even the thought of independent action must be rejected if true security is to be found.
Awareness - Even the thought of ego-led behavior must be overcome before joy can be derived from a growth in awareness.
Emotion - Even the thought of acting in a selfish way mst be overcome before happiness can be found.
Creativity - Even the thought of being pretentious must be overcome before true creativity can be found.
Communication - Even the idea of forcing an opinion must be overcome if there is to be genuine open dialogue.
Ambition - Even the thought of selfish ambition must be overcome before worth-while goals can be achieved.
Service - Even the thought of self-importance must be overcome if a task is to be completed properly.
Nurture - Even the thought of over-protectiveness must be overcome if care is to be of value.
Economy - Even the thought of recklessness must be overcome if real economic growth is to be achieved.
Neutrality - The smallest doubt being able to undermine sincerity.
Reason - It is necessary to overcome even the thought of being clever if real understanding is the goal.
This is from the book I Ching for Everyone by Myles Seabrook
I find the I Ching a great tool for daily use.
