I want to be honest and honor you, myself, and this book (which took me several years to get through, because it's quite dense!):

...as a result, a lot of the text in this article will be direct quotes, mostly from the last section of this book.

On page 249: "the five Chinese elements do not stand for elements in the popular Western sense, they are phases of change, or stages in a process, they interact in a creative or destructive cycle" "the Greeks eventually added a fifth (element) ether, allowing the (other 4 elements) to commingle instead of remaining separate".

"Wood makes fire, fire makes earth, earth yields metal, metal can turn to liquid like water, water nourishes wood". "Wood depletes earth of nutrients, earth muddies water, water dampens fire, fire melts metal, metal cuts wood". - these understandings come in handy when working with RestoreChi (more on this below, under the term TCM).

On page 250: "Destruction is not automatically negative, both are necessary" "these are just Chinese nature analogies depicting a process that is bigger"

When I put this in contrast to what is claimed in "The Indoctrinated Brain" (also recommended reading from the founder of Esogetic Medicine), the i'ching is way more empowering information, received by the people, from those in power, than what the modern elite has handed to us (see the instagram link below)...

On page 251-252: the author found that trying to pair opposites (north and south) was destructive, but pairing adjacent directions (south with east and north with west) was creative ("the elements harmonize instead of warring, things go into balance"). While this comment may seem random, this is how she was able to map the 64 hexagrams into the 64 genetic codons and claim that they "spring from the same archetypal co-chaos supersystem" (on page 253).

On page 263-268, the author explains Hexagram 1: Active Heaven (Heaven over Heaven, six yang lines) as "if all six lines transform into yin by losing their yang-like (dragon) heads, this is especially fortunate". Interesting again, as the modern elite seem to have gone a bit under the radar, while still doing whatever they can, to maintain control, which for me includes the use of regular screening, to justify the use of mainstream medicine, as I share here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DOQbqdkDiPj/

I think it may be important for each of us to know where (in our physical body) we tend to store unresolved conflict, so we know where to keep an eye out for cellular change. While DNA testing for risk is common, this leads people to removing parts of their body, even when they show no sign of disease. Unresolved conflict will have to find somewhere else to go. Bodies with parts removed may be less well equipped to deal with it.

From an Esogetic perspective, we can see in our iris, what risks we have inherited from our parents, but unless an area is also highlighted by marks in the conjunctiva, they are not currently active (much like epigenetics, and no one jumps to removing a body part, just because they see a sign in their eye!). Using Kirlian Photography to see how and where we tend to build up cellular change, when we are not being honest enough with ourselves, in terms of our unresolved conflicts, coupled with Medical Astrology (also a part of Esogetic Medicine) can help us understand which lessons in our natal Astrology we may need to pay more attention to...

Going by repeating signs in my Kirlian Photos, I tend to hold unresolved conflict in my uterus (bottom of the right ring finger). The uterus is assigned to Scorpio (a process which, once begun, cannot be stopped or reversed, birth and death), where I have my natal Sun (purpose), Uranus (individuality), and Mercury (mind/communication/automatic rhythms). Interesting that an extension of my lungs (an organ paired with the large intestines in TCM/RestoreChi), my nose, tends to flag when I need to pay attention to my uterus (given that the large intestine is also a Scorpio, one way only, organ).

Page 266 describes: "Even the most potent energy must come to an end, this is the way of the Tao, each chaos pattern has its cycle, one-sided behavior is self-limiting, doomed to become weakened in the inevitable cycle of change, erratic power carried beyond its limits drops back into the deep to regain strength". The modern ruling elite might be reading this definition too...

On pages 269-272, the author describes Hexagram 41: Starting Small (Mountain over Lake), which happens to be my Life Purpose in my Gene Keys. While I have always turned to the Gene Keys as a starting point to understand the Hexagrams, the Richard Wilhelm Translation is highly recommended by this author and (at least) one of my Esogetic teachers. I also want to share what stands out for me from this section, because it tells you more about how I see myself as a practitioner.

Page 269-270: "Start small, right behaviour, gain from it", "Rushing off to help a friend? Not wrong, but too much offered can harm all" "Passive giving gives a lift yet keeps the giver's hoard" "If three walk together one leaves in strain, walking alone brings a friend in the lane" "increasing others increases one too, enlarging the family crew" "it is right to leave one's own situation and hurry off to help another, but ask 'what is this really for?' another's need or one's own self-gratification? giving should cease when it begins to do more harm than good" "the best help is to maintain proper attitude, taking action can be difficult or offensive, help passively, improve the situation without personal loss" "things come in twos, 3 forces change, the balance of energy is unsettled, eventually one will part, when one walks alone, one eventually attracts a complimentary companion".

Page 271: "quit fretting, focus, start" "voluntary self-tax" "decrease for gain" "Lake and Mountain suggest two extremes, the mountain is very high, the lake is very deep, they can only interact by decreasing their difference, when moisture from the lake cycles up into the air, making rain or snow fall onto the dry mountain, washing rocks, that travel down to the lake again, soil (that) has come from the weathering of rock enable(s) plants to grow, this exchange of energy between extremes of soft, low, wet lake and hard, high, dry mountain starts a creative dynamic".

"What seems like reduction brings eventual gain, giv(ing) from the store of one's own energy, emotion, money, and security plants seeds for the future, temporarily it decreases the stored hoard, but eventually this ensures the harvest" - this reminds me of how I have been slow and steady with my business, knowing my primary responsibility is to my kids/family, while feeding my personal understanding and growth, when they are occupied with their own interests. I know that if I just force them to go somewhere, so I can have the freedom to do something else, I will not be planting a seed that will bring later harvest, I will be setting them up for disaster, that will take much longer to recover from (though we will learn from the process).

"It all begins with something so small, invisible moisture rising, something begun sincerely even though it starts small, brings great rewards. By investing in the future, what seems to be lessening, becomes more. Giving from one's own reservoir, if done sincerely, brings good fortune without error, decrease the random motion and hoarded reserve, begin even though it means starting small, purposeful decrease for long-term gain, focus stored and undirected energy purposefully, be willing to start small" - I think this is why I often encourage people to let go of what no longer serves and follow what is more aligned to their Unique Psychology (limits, needs, goals, etc), becoming more away of their kids' Felt Safety, as well as their Unique Psychology, and everyone's Unique Health (and need for Healing).

She closes (on pages 273-280) by saying: "Our habits can imprison us, sure they stabilize and protect us, (but) they also recycle mindlessly, chain us to sameness and inertia. Uniting circular habit with linear analysis can trigger analinear evo(lution), giv(ing) us free will. More insight means more choices, when the psyche recognizes an archetype that it is mindlessly locked into, it can start to transcend it" (a lot of this work is done using Divine Healing) "no longer knee-jerk (reactions, we) open up a dialogue, alter old imprisoning patterns, shift the habitual dynamic, working with both heart and mind to harmonize your life, alter your pattern with people, perceiving your life differently you can begin to live differently, (decide if you want to go in the direction your habits are taking your soul)".

Page 274: "become process-oriented, not product-driven, pause to ponder, (when) your desire opens, the universe resonates in sympathy and starts an appropriate change in your surroundings, you see more, increasing your awareness of hidden pattern(s) and how they operate in you" "fight your shadow, deny its existence, you only split it off, relationship (with it) will turn it friendly and benign" - I believe this applies to cancer and the body too!

Continued on page 274: "(dip) old silverware (this) will remove the tarnish temporarily, but polish it (and it will be) much more beautiful, the whole design becomes evident, allow both poles to exist together, they must both exist somewhere, either together or alienated, closer they are more friendly and supportive" - and in the case of cancer, you also don't lose your exit pathways if you don't cut, burn, or poison them out!

Page 275: "if you don't acknowledge your shadow along with your light, you lose depth and perspective, you become shallow, lacking meaning" "denial begs to be slapped by the dark side of nature" "examine and reconcile aspects that (our) ego doesn't want to notice" "don't use guilt, but love, a guilt trip is self-indulgent" "passionately disowned feelings return another way, stronger and seemingly unrelated" "shadow enriches our lives" - this is why I write, it has to go somewhere...

Page 276: "the same old shit keeps recycling until we can manage with enough awareness to refine its truth" "to transform the shadow, you must walk the analog realm, explore one of the esoteric arts" - which is why I have become a polymath of applied esoteric wisdom! "all hold an eerie kernel of truth" "truth waits wherever holistic connection meets with linear logic" "analog has become alienated, warped into witchery, but there is still truth behind (the) monster mask" "discover the difference between projection, pattern, and process, truly embedded in the design, learn to see clearly, it will heal and change you" "choose more transpersonal school(s) like Jungian, gestalt, or analinear psychology, the iching" and many of the tools/modalities that I work with "offers an independent voice of wisdom to dialogue with your ego" "distinguish the small still voice of truth from the whispers of habit".

Page 277: "With higher truth, you will find the task you were born for, you will move past your karma, the heavy burden of ritualized past, into your dharma, the transcendent service that you are here to provide the world" - for a while, I put a lot of effort into trying to help my friend keep her crystal/witch shop opened, but I always said the rituals are not what appeal to me, I want to learn, but I don't want to repeat, I want to revisit each holy-day, to see how much I have grown since the last time I was here. "through service you can grow your soul into a unique crystal" - it is important to be honest with what feels right for us and what does not, because this will lead us to where we are meant to be, all the pieces only fit in place if we are able to be honest and say 'this part that never fit well'. "Analinear is the opposite of the forking road, instead you take the merging road".

On page 278, she goes into a bit about "untrue, bad math, go back and do the exercise again with a new problem of the same kind" - which is how the selection of the parameters of our next life works. Her definition of bad math stems from: as soon as you say 'A is to B like C is to...', you must find a D, and this is where we run into trouble. Untrue bad math is when we try to solve the problem by getting rid of A so C can claim it's B, "the ego strives to finish the ratio with whatever materials are at hand, (which is why) opening up more options is important" - and this is where I got the title of this article from (word for word, a quote from this book)!

On page 279: "in Myers-Briggs (the fourth letter) is called the inferior function, farthest from ordinary consciousness, also your doorway into the hidden realm (of) creation, walking (the) path of recognition and reconciliation with the other" (a goal of mine, with Libra setting in my natal astrology) - I am an INFJ:

Judging is where I run into trouble with others, I am just trying to understand, but people feel judged...

On page 280: "logic does not make the world go round, only straight, into walls and dead ends" "(using) statistics each unit loses its identity, let us regain ourselves from the stats and bottom lines" "embrace analog and marry it with linear so we become unified inside and out" "each breath must go both in and out until you finally resolve the polarity by dying into something else" "there's so much to see, then there is more, endless windows of opportunity, I will keep looking, but (the) fractal attractors will outlast me, even when I end, it'll just change partners and dance".

I hope this article is interesting and useful. I hope you can start to see how everything I do is tied together, and what the overall goal is, in everything I say with intention, especially when I am referring to a conflict in me, that I am trying to work through. Others may approach the same conflict in a different way, and their outcome will be good or bad, depending on how honest they were able to be with their process. The systems I work with can be extremely helpful. Everyone must do their work (in this life, or the next, if we're lucky enough to play again).

When I think of the founder of the Gene Keys, who synthesized and modernized the i'ching to make it more accessible to others, I think this is good, and I am glad he encourages contemplation, because his endeavor was mostly for his own personal growth, if we want to grow, we have to take this task, of seeing what stands out for us, in various expressions of various esoteric wisdoms, on for ourselves.

Are you up for the journey? Being honest feels better than being part of the lie?
