Number 34 ~ The Power of the Great
Thunder in heaven above:
The image of The Power of the Great.
Thus the superior man does not tread upon paths
That do not accord with established order.
Thunder ~ electrical energy ~ mounts upward in the spring. The direction of this movement is in harmony with that of the movement of heaven. It is therefore a movement in accord with heaven, producing great power. However, true greatness depends on being in harmony with what is right. Therefore in times of great power, the superior man avoids doing anything that is not in harmony with the established order.

I have recently realized the profundity of the I Ching. I can theorize all day about the hows and whys but whatever it is it's amazing.
I found you by the comment you left on Human Being's blog. She is an amazing woman who always says the most magical things.
Greetings, Sophia! So glad you visited here and were generous enough to leave a comment. I took a moment to explore your blogs and will be returning to them regularly, as I recognize you to be a fellow spiritual explorer.
And yes, the synchronicity of Human Being providing the answer I was seeking was a most gratifying experience. She impresses me also as being an amazing woman.
intriguing point... this established order is found in the nature... not in the society, eh? as many elements of the established order in the society are corrupted...

re: your comments on my blog and the question that is answered:
along the path there are numerous signs to be found... those who watch, do not find them...
they are noticed by the blind lover...

i walk alone
but my path is not alone
it is haunted by some other souls
and we pass through each other
overlapping
becoming one
as we pass by one another...
Sophia, Gregory...
i'm much flattered by your sweet words... thanks... i give what i get...
love and peace to you
