It must be said that when studying the I-Ching, Kenpo Gokui, etc. that there are "NO ABSOLUTE'S HERE!" I want to stress to those who read this post on the gokui and by extension the I Ching that my interpretation is not the absolute in this and as you will find by the plethora of books with the same quantity of interpretations that this is true.
What I mean is, darkness may mean a negative yet it may mean something totally different when it is influenced by another aspect of the I Ching. When darkness is supported by Heaven then it takes on a different meaning all together which may over come the darkness/negativity aspects.
My meanderings here are my interpretations of what I am and have been studying. A key to the I Ching as a book of changes is that each change is influenced by the present moment of the person and that persons entire life's influences.
My purpose here in this blog posting is to explore and discover with a side of possible influence on others to do the same. If someone appreciates the stuff I post then they may go on to discover their own path using the classics such as the I Ching.
My other goal is to connect the trio of the fighting arts, the art itself, the gokui, and the I Ching, just to mention a few.
So, take it with a grain of salt for it may differ when you are studying than what I provide, yadda yadda yadda :-)
Note: When studying first study the images, then the words, and then try not to focus on the words or the images. Find somewhere in between to find the connection and thus the answers.
I like your purpose here with this blog and I thank you. (i need to read the I ching book)
