Understanding the True Self from the Book of Changes

The Book of Changes is not only a divination book, but also a philosophical masterpiece that guides life. It discusses the dichotomy and the world outlook of unity of opposites; Reveals the natural law of the development and change of things; It points out the true meaning of life and the law of intelligent life. It's about astronomy, geography and personnel. It is broad and profound.

Learning the Book of Changes, my biggest feeling is that a person's biggest change comes from the change of the ID.

My character is naturally hesitant and indecisive, and it seems that I was born with choice syndrome. When you encounter problems, you are always ambiguous. I always want to ask them for help when I meet something, not to think for myself.

This should have something to do with my personality. My personality is red+green. The red impulse is that I do things anticlimactic. Everyone likes to choose what they like to do first, not the most important thing at the moment. Sometimes my mind will guide me to do what I am interested in.

If you don't do what you are interested in at the moment, you will feel anxious and even panic. This feeling is like forgetting to bring your mobile phone to the toilet, and you should go to school before the long vacation.

I also learned a lot of time management skills, GTD quadrant classification and so on. For me, none of these methods are very effective. Because when I set urgent and important things. The standards in my heart have changed.

Once the standards are changed, it is very difficult to implement them. So all these methods ended in failure.

The essence of the Book of Changes is to restart my understanding of myself.

There is a cloud in the Book of Changes: Heaven is healthy, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement.

In other words, if you are not strong enough to stand on your own feet, you can still talk about what contributes value to society. Just like a beggar who donates goods, he is in urgent need, returning things to others and asking for them. This in itself is the way of thinking of the poor.

Therefore, I ching emphasized self-reliance and self-improvement from the beginning. No book has raised its self-worth to such a high level as the Book of Changes.

As the saying goes, "Every man for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost", the interpretation of this sentence by ordinary people is somewhat biased. What most people say is derogatory, not from their own values.

Traditional education also tends to the Confucian doctrine of the mean. However, all creation is based on the rise of self-worth to a certain height. Only in the later period can we serve the country and the people, cultivate our morality, and rule the country and the world.

In the early days of human growth, it is also such a process. The divination of the Book of Changes is to show that people will have different forms at different stages.

Some people say modesty is good, others say pride is good. In fact, they are all biased words and cannot be generalized. The gossip in the Book of Changes formally teaches us to look at problems from multiple dimensions and angles.

Modesty is good, but it is only effective if it is used to a certain extent. If you are modest from the beginning, you always consider everything from the perspective of others, only make contributions, don't lay a solid foundation for your future, just be a good person.

In the end, no one will understand your kindness because of your efforts. You are worthless, and no one can respect you.

Pride is not worthless. In the early stage of human growth, you should learn to take the initiative, but always start from the end and think first. Have their own clear and firm values. By studying, let yourself be in an active position, so as to grasp the knowledge and ability crazily. Self-improvement can be reflected.

Cowardly people often use modesty as an excuse to avoid difficulties, exercise their abilities and give up the opportunity to realize their self-worth. In the end, I can only spend the rest of my life unremarkable.

When you reach a certain level, you have status and ability. You have to learn to be modest, the terrain is Kun, and a gentleman can show it by virtue. The Book of Changes puts strength ahead and morality behind, which makes sense.

It means there is a sequence. The study of the object mathematics of the Book of Changes, that is, the study of the current laws of space, time and essence, has also surpassed the world that human beings can perceive at present.

Things in the world are complicated, everything is constantly changing, and influenced by time, space and many factors, it is changing all over.

On the other hand, I ching can use simple symbols to explain the operation law of everything. Not just for prediction.

As the saying goes: those who love leisure and hate work do not predict. People who really learn the Book of Changes don't need to predict the development trend of things through divination, but they already know fairly well.

Life has no end. We should deal with the so-called success or failure of life with a peaceful mind, try our best to do things, and then let nature take its course.

The changes in the world are orderly, not disorderly. It is particularly important to grasp the order and law of change.

Throughout history, a person who has achieved great things must be a person who grasps and controls the current situation.

"Know the best, but with a few, know the end, and be righteous."

Several political reforms in history, such as Shang Yang's, Wang Anshi's and the Reform Movement of 1898, all followed the historical trend, but why did they all fail?

Because the era of that era has not yet arrived.

Of course, the book of changes gives us the greatest enlightenment: no matter what the situation, we must keep a normal heart and let nature take its course!

Gentlemen should imitate the basic laws of heaven, so as to strive for self-improvement and have a long history!
