Hexagram 20 Comprehending the mysteries

I Ching. Hexagram 20 is named 觀 (guān), “Viewing”.
Other variations include “Contemplation”, “Observation”, “Meditation and reflection”, “Looking up”.

IN THE MANIFESTED REALITY.  The green tree is waving in the wind. Life is full of different events.
Thin branches of trees rushed straight to the blue heaven, and the roots penetrated deep into the earth. Thin branches of him approached the light, to the sun. Life consists of cares of strong material prosperity, attempts to make out in occurring events, and intellectual searches.
The tree leaves transforming to earth. Striving for the Supreme in a natural way leads to the loss of worldly interests and the manifestation of eternity even in this life.
Where was earlier blossomed tree, tomorrow infinite plain will be. The comprehension of unity with all that exists will completely supersede all excitements and emotions about individual life.

IN THE SUBTLE WORLD vibration is similar which doubles the strength of what is happening.
A beautiful mountain is located on the boundless plain. Mountain symbolizes individuality, a difference from another world.
Time goes the mountain collapses. The plain comes, absorbs mountain. Mountain will leave (as a separate entity) and merge with its environment: the vast plain. Eventually, comprehension of general unity comes, any individual distinctions are destroyed.
Only a powerful and endless plain will remain, as firm support and foundation for everything. It is a great transformation merge with all Universe. A huge general entirely absorbs a small individual.

COMMON INTERPRETATION OF THE HEXAGRAM №20

IN THE MANIFESTED REALITY. The vanity and wind of passions will subside when something extremely huge, something very powerful will manifest itself from the depths. The individual life is absorbing Universal life. It is COMPREHENDING THE MYSTERIES of the manifested world.

ON SUBCONSCIOUS PLANE. Here the situation is much the same. Individual consciousness is entirely absorbed by general space consciousness. Individual emotions entirely disappear. Duality disappears: there is no right or wrong, there is no white or black, there is no good or evil. What then remains? What is an infinite plane, as a single foundation and support of all that exists? It is UNSOLVED SECRET! Such vibration at all levels is called COMPREHENDING THE MYSTERIES.

It is unfavorable to pay attention to the manifestations of the external world, to the fuss. Favorably focus on the inner world and enable the Universe to manifest itself in your mind.

This hexagram says that the best way to resolve any situation you will find in yourself, in your own subconscious.

Multidimensionality (opposite vibration)
HUSTLE AND BUSTLE

HUSTLE AND BUSTLE is the maximum identification of oneself with the body, of one’s life with the events taking place. HUSTLE AND BUSTLE will take all forces and fill life with endless excitement and fears. The only way out is to stop, calm down and turn inside of yourself, to the reasons for everything that is happening, to achieve COMPREHENDING THE MYSTERIES.

Comprehending the mysteries

The Earth provides support, empowers and reveals its mysteries.

Positions to consider:

1. “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better,” Albert Einstein.
2. “Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes,” Carl Jung.
3. “Never lose a holy curiosity,” Albert Einstein.

7. There are hardly any events and phenomena that cannot be scientifically explained nowadays. The world is no longer a mystery inside an enigma, day by day, it’s getting easier to understand.
8. “To understand everything is to forgive everything,” Buddha.
9. “I think, therefore I exist,” René Descartes.
10. Our consciousness sends a thought to the brain, which turns on like a radio transmitter to convey the impulses for the body to react. The consciousness that generates our thoughts is poorly explored by scientists.
11. The manifested world around us, with all its physical laws, is somebody’s powerful fixed thought.

13. The world is tangible and comprehensible. It is the brain that generates a thought, which is nothing more than a reflection of the manifested reality.

To consider the priority of thought over matter is as absurd as to acknowledge the priority of transparency over the glass.

Numerous facts and phenomena are ignored if they cannot be described by the fixed scientific concept of today. We can say that today science provides inconsistent and stereotyped pieces of knowledge that are harmful rather than useful for both humankind and the planet. We are like ants who have learned to build a house, travel nearby it, use the properties of herbs, and breed greenflies. I only hope ants, unlike people, do not suppose they are experts in the structure of the Universe.
15. People still do not know how to keep the Earth in equilibrium. Moreover, the human being is the major detrimental factor, which is a vivid illustration of his profound ignorance and lack of awareness of how to manage himself and human society.
