By the way, I am reading your book I Ching The Oracle. It's like an encyclopedia, there's so much in it. I'm amazed at how you got all that stuff in there-

[@TheLyricalCleric]

I am a huge fan of Taoism been for many years. I really appreciate all of these topics and discussion. I actually got a chance to go see the Chinese exhibit at the field Museum those six figures were on display and I thought about your videos!

[@BenebellWen]

Oh that's so cool! 😊

[@SoFreshSoClean2024]

Polytheism = broken interpolations, errors, Mistakes in explanations, with ignorance of the truth. Polytheism= worshipping false gods, or saying humans are deities, or Angels are humans, or saints, or goddesses. They only call upon a miserable Satan, Iblis, who only seeks to deceive mankind, call them to the fire and Darkness, to do evil things, while thinking it is good.​@@BenebellWen

Watched this one twice for the algorithm gods, making this comment for the algorithm gods and since that's only three, I'm sure I can find three spaces to share it in to make that auspicious number six align with the content of the video! Really wonderful stuff, was looking forward to this video from the hinting at it previously and it didn't disappoint!

[@thecrimsondragon9744]

Another great video! I’m sure the six sages would be proud of you 👏 Btw, have you done any videos on Mo Zi or Mohism? I read a book called the Magus of Java and it has made me interested to learn more about him.

[@dth92301]

Thanks i am really enjoying these Dao deep dives and look forward to the next one.

[@icshadowiclight]

I need more! Again, this is my heritage, my grandpa would call Taoist priests for various blessings and rituals. He'd also do the calligraphy for paper talismans that were used in Vietnamese Đạo Mẫu rituals. The imagery is familiar and nostalgic. Thank you for the dive, it's encouraging me to learn more Chinese, or at least from the Cantonese side of things.

[@Anyox17]

Hello! I found your channel a few months ago, and therefore became aware of your books. I immediately purchased the Tao of Craft and I Ching the Oracle, and I must say I have been completely captivated by your work!! Taoism has always spoken to me and your masterful guidance, information, and instructions have helped me integrate it into my personal spiritual and shamanic work so brilliantly and rewardingly. Reading the Tao of Craft seriously changed my life and opened so many doors. I’ve told everyone I know how incredible you are, and how lucky I feel to be alive at a time when I can read your books (And communicate with you on KZbin!). Just yesterday I ordered Holistic Tarot and I cannot wait to read it as well. I can’t thank you enough for all your efforts and for being the bridge between Eastern and Western magic that the world so desperately needs. If I ever had the golden opportunity to meet you in person somewhere, I think I might faint 😂 Sending immense gratitude and appreciation your way ✨💗🙏🏼

[@BenebellWen]

I am so grateful to hear and it means a lot to me that you find my work helpful. Thank you. Hopefully one of these days we can connect in person at one of the metaphysical conferences. :-)

[@gastonmarian7261]

Your presentation style is so effective! I love how concise you are with all this information, just watching through all your videos and taking notes would be a fantastic course. This summer I'm planning to work through your i ching book from the start. So far I've just flipped around and done personal readings, and everything I've seen just makes me want to learn more

[@BenebellWen]

I'm so glad to hear! My hope is that the videos I put out there build on top of each other, which is why for better or worse they tend to cross-reference each other. And my objective is that anyone from any background who sincerely wants to learn and master, shall learn and master. ❤🙏

[@Alandpope]

I first got interested in the I-Ching, and only after years of benefiting from it, I started to delve into Chinese culture (even started playing erhu). Your videos are incredible, thank you for all of your effort in creating them!

[@AthenaCole]

You are literally a gem! I’m studying the 37th and 50th hexagrams today and this info is so helpful ! What you do is so incredibly valuable, thank you!

[@BenebellWen]

What a beautiful pairing of hexagrams! Love that the first is about family, community and the second is about simmering and brewing action, hard work being activated. I'm so thrilled to learn about your studies of the I Ching!

[@alchemygal3285]

Your videos are so well done. So professional

[@BenebellWen]

Haha that is a very, very kind thing for you to say! 🤣 I feel like it is so old school. I'm using PowerPoint! 🤣🤣 I believe all the real KZbinrs are using a lot more advanced programs.

[@alchemygal3285]

@@BenebellWen you do the best PPTs around. 😆 I may use that for my videos as well. Very useful.

[@christophmahler]

The presentation _'resonates'_ well. The less one is concerned to comprehend a particular - often _obscure_ - _text_ like the Chinese *'Book of Changes'* , the more actual *the historical process 'speaks for itself'* . What *pattern* one recognizes by *merely observing events* - including in one's own life (if one can detach oneself from the anxiety of desirable outcomes) - will also be recognized in inspired texts. Respectively, politics can be viewed as a struggle between conflicting interests with an acerbic, self-righteous normative stance - or it can be interpreted as a natural process that runs it's fateful course along the circumstances and forces, involved - where subtlety may tip the balance once 'the time' within oneself and others has come... It is noteworthy that ancient Greece preserved a concept of a number of *mature rulers* as well: the *Seven Sages of Greece* and when viewed in a sequence, can offer insights into *the **_development_** of a polity* - it's fate with which one can _align_ , thus practicing _wisdom_ .

[@Shenarah]

Greetings. I have recently started to follow you on your KZbin channel, which is excellent. I have also invested in some of your books. In that regard, I would like to ask a question relating to the Tao of Craft. Regarding the setup of the altar and the 3 bowls. You have the rice on the right representing yang and the tea in the centre. All other sources seem to swap those around. Could you please provide some insight into the reason for this? Many thanks. ✌️

[@BenebellWen]

Depends on the regional culture of the author or practitioner providing the instructions and also the tradition. Not everyone is going to approach it in the same exact way. I only follow what I have watched my parents and grandparents on both sides do.

[@Shenarah]

@@BenebellWen I understand. Thank you for your response. It is very helpful.

So does the yellow emperor represent the solar plexus the soul gave birth to these holy kings?

I have this dream over and over that i have a giant fish tank that I never even take care of but its just beautiful and full of so many fish that love to see me(while in my head im thinking wow i was almost scared to look at this tank bc I have not even thought of it for so long). And then i start doing some work on the tank and every time I fill another tank with nothing but water from this first giant healthy tank, the same thing happens when i come back after some not seen journey i have another completely full tank thats just smaller than the main giant tank. By the end of the dream i have ao many of these that the fish start jumping out yet even when i come bakc it seems they have found themselves bowls of water to live in and aomehow thisbis joyous to me and the dream ends with a fish like almost talking to me in my hand it doesnt even need more than a puddle drop of water to live. In this dream the giant first tank is situated in exactly between the East, West, NE and NW wuadrants as if right in the middle intersecting all lines as the tank is giant and recantilar and the room is opposite rectangular facing the tank will make ur back face the northermost wall which strangel i can recall any fish tanks on only this north wall that the giant fish tank faced and was back by smaller tanks eventually that wud also either fill the wall section of sigular quadrants of east and west but the tank behind the giant tanke wud cross over intersecting quadrants rectangularly south of the giant tank all the amaller tanks stacked ceiling high and the walking spaces were the lines or intersections and bowls of fish fill the floor to those lines and in the south quadrant, where the entrance door exists, is where the dream end with the fish in a puddle talking to me

[@WisdomofMindBody]

I would love to go to China pilgrimage to all the Taoist holy places. I bet you know places that are not well known. Where is Kunlun, the place known as the gateway portal between Taoist and the Heavens. I liked the portrayal of Kunlun in drama Eternal Love or Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms

I can tell you have spiritual power because i can't look ditrctly at you for more than a few seconds. Too powerful.

[@Infinitesimal-ho7it]

The Six Akashas you show intrigue me. Is it possible to start there and learn I Ching? I ask because I'm thinking that the I Ching seems to have self-similar patterns through the various facets you've shown us. That seemed to crystalize in my mind when you introduced the Six Akashas. Maybe it's the color coding that helped me. lol If i approach I Ching from there, will i find representations of them, or hints of them, in the rest of I Ching?

[@BenebellWen]

Hmm, I might not be understanding the question correctly. What I refer to as the Six Akasha, and where in older English translations you might find as the Six Voids, is the theoretical basis of I Ching hexagram structure. Which is to say it is the initiatory step most people will begin with for learning about the I Ching. ❤

[@Infinitesimal-ho7it]

Okay. I think I remember you mentioning that it is initiatory in this video, now. Did you mean to save it for now, as a culmination? Well, it worked in a way for me to see things through the model of the Six Voids. I mean I'll have to go through it to get a better grasp. Anyway, it feels like I'm getting a handhold on it.

A friend of mine got me really into xianxia, and I've always been fascinated by ancient magic and esotericism. You're an invaluable resource!

[@Makkaru112]

How would you personally describe and explain XianXia to someone ?

[@Herpawitz]

@@Makkaru112 succinctly, Journey to the West fanfiction. Dragon Ball Z is also inspired by JttW and shares a lot of common tropes. The main character is generally an immortal cultivator, someone, usually in a sect, doing esoteric magics to gain power and progress towards immortality. DBZ tends more towards martial arts, xianxia toward 'ancient Chinese wizard' battles, but you get the picture. If you are a fan of western fantasy I think it's very interesting to read. The power systems being based off a completely different cultural history of magical practice makes them excitingly foreign, while giving them depth and internal consistency. All that said, there is a huge range in quality represented across the genre. Not only is there the obvious range in skill of the author, but translating Chinese literature is exceedingly difficult. On top of that, because of the small market, most of the translations are done by fans.

[@pavelsmith2267]

Are there truly four seasons ? Some might say only three. Spring and Autumn being the front and back ends of the same season. So six is a annual duality?

[@BenebellWen]

The Chinese calendar system associated with King Yao observes 24 seasons, or solar terms, which can be subdivided into four quadrants per the equinoxes and solstices. But yes, I guess how many seasons we have is in part based on our perception of our observations. =)

[@pavelsmith2267]

@@BenebellWen the world operates on a clock attached to calendar, uhm ,uh, movement. It's the math of money and uhm ,time. So, basically taxes, then here's that math I was talking about. 1 week=7 days. I month=4 weeks(28 days) 12 month =1 year. However! 12×28 is not 365. So , perhaps there is a message in whatever binary code our current global calendar is attached to. Thx -Commish

Can you do a video about Satanism? I understand it as to abandon all the old religions and traditions and start new. Am I wrong?

[@Makkaru112]

Nope. Satanists run the world. And their rule is ending fast. Keep yourself educated and connected. Many people are becoming aware of the mass trafficking of kids worldwide for decades now. Over 300,000 have gone missing from the USA alone. Many are getting to rescued. This horrid stuff was run by Mayorkas at the spear of their recent villainy. Line In The Sand Documentary. James himself does boots on the ground investigation as well as interviewing several boarder patrol men and women of all ranks and several of themselves from being identified by their evil higher ups who’s ruin their lives and the lives of their families for their exposure of the crimes being exposed. Many of these kids are literally being shipped into these churches which aren’t doing anything good with them let’s just say that.

[@Makkaru112]

The oldest religion is satanism. It all connects to Enlil & the Khazarian beings. Vs Tartarian beings. Tartaria is the exalted human worldwide culture and exalted human at its best. We used to live for hundreds of years. More than that even. Look at and study Tartarian history. It’s quite recent. All destroyed and replaced by ugly land marks saying it was a controlled demolition of a fair lol. When there is tones of footage of Tartaria. Even many things in our world still call back to these times. Especially America. Much of it wasn’t founded. It was FOUNDed. ;) ❤

[@Muself2]

Geograpgically speaking there is also only 6 perpendicular directions. 1-up 2-down 3-left 4 right 5-front 6-back. So some people consider it reprensents matter and what is external. Some people have argued that 7 is. Represented by the center. And because the kingdom of Heaven is in the inner self, so some people make a huge distinction between 6 and 7 as 6 means all appearances, movements, 7 would represent eternal.

There are 66 books in the Bible. 39 in the old testament and 27 in the new

[@TheAgathist]

Only if you go by the modern Protestant canon, which was not even the case until the mid-nineteenth century. Protestants before that time always included the Apocrypha or Deuterocanonical books in all printed editions of the Bible. Even the original King James Version did this. Various ancient Christian sects had different views towards what should be included in the canon over the centuries, but the vast majority of them saw value in the Apocrypha at least being included somewhere in the Bible. Besides, Christians see the number 6 as the Number of Man...an imperfect number. By that logic, the modern Protestant canon is incomplete without the Apocrypha. It gets even crazier when you realize the Ethiopian canon is the largest with 88 books. Going by numerology, 8+8=16...1+6=7...7 is the number of perfection. So should we go by the Ethiopian canon as the most complete version of the Bible? Not necessarily, but it is interesting to me from a historical perspective. People ultimately determine their own canon according to their subjective views.

[@Makkaru112]

Interesting catch. But then count the many removed chapters from that free mason-edited book such as Enoch, Jubilee, Querrel(or was it Queval?) at any rate. The council of Nicaea is what ruined the Bible and the churches existed to get rid of mysticism and lie about Yeshua and make people dependent and fearful and forget their power and sign it off to them. Long story short. The Essenes were also one of the hundreds of groups of people who got slaughtered and hunted down for centuries by these evil council of Nicaea types. Which is the same people who did the witch hunts and other larger massacres and so forth.

If you follow the original category for the 6 Emperors it and you know the Bibl story, it would clearer. It is not 6 kings but 7 and one woman. AKA 三皇五帝 Or 3 Sovereign and 5 Sage Kings. Why 3 and 5 is because the first 3 were born and lived over 500 Yers before Noah;s flood. The 3 Soverigns are Fuxi, Nuwa and Yue AKA Adam, Eve and Noah. Eve is very important in Chinese History as she is the mother of all. Then comes the 5 Sage Emperor of which the first one is The Yellow Emperor, AKA Shem, Noah's 2nd Son. The father of all the White skin black hair people of which he had 5 sons according to the Bible. The picture of the Yellow Emporer is not a hairy guy as we Chinese have his picture on our Altar. Like us, he has milky white skin and cannot grow a beard. The Hairy Guy is Zhang Fei, AKA Ham in the Bible, father for the Black race.
