You experienced Thunder 😁

The best expert on Chinese metaphysics in Europe... or at least this is what I have coincluded after 30+ years experience on the subject(s)

Thank you Ognyan, you are far too kind. When I see the work and years of experience of teachers like Jack Chiu and Jack Kuo I feel myself a pebble amidst mountains. There is so much to study, so much to learn... I still consider myself a student of the Yi.

In the USA too

[@peterfarnsworth9495]

thank you for the great video and concise presentation. From it I have gleaned that one needs to know the trigrams first and their original meanings. As you stated - foundations.I look forward to more videos.

[@kevinu.k.7042]

Very good indeed. I have never found a use for all of those skinny horses and so forth before. Nor the practical objects. Good insights which are nicely grounding for me. Thank you. More please.

While I don't understand the motivation for creating this -- it seems like a lot of work with no obvious reward -- but I appreciate that you did. Thank you. I came here due to some threads on daobums related to a search for understanding bagua's role in baguazhang.

Any ideas on how to translate the nuclear trigram Wind, surrounded by Wind? I'm trying to understand how the 33rd hexagram "Retreat" might pertain to spiritual advancement in my life, and I think I've been able to connect the rest of the meanings, but I'm totally confused by wind in wind.

[@YiTubeChannel]

With Wind being enveloped by Wind, you might risk the chance that your path ignores small steps, small advancement, and that you only focus on the big and very apparent steps that you are making. Wind is about small steps, long-term planning, communicating and investigating in a very gentle, non-intrusive way. The little things might appear unimportant to you, but little things can be like the sand in the motor the puts all movement to a halt. When it is required of you to pay attention to those little seemingly insignificant details, you tend to delay the decision to do that - you procrastinate and will find excuses to focus on things that in your mind are Really Important: Wind is being enveloped by Wind. A grain of sand contains the whole world, and is not less important than the mountains that you can't ignore.

[@IXINineIXI]

@@YiTubeChannel That is pretty amazing. You've described a conclusion that I had come to myself without understanding how wind within wind worked, but expanded on it greatly and really reinforced the direction I need to go in. Thank you very much!

I have studied your book, and seen all your videos, but in none of them you have applied tip 3. - keep the trigrams together.

[@ultrafeel-tv]
