Kenpo Gokui Revisited

Heaven and Earth - 1
Sun and Moon -2
Hard and Soft -3
Balance and Weight -4
Change -5
Circumstances -6
Eye and See -7
Ear and Hear -8

When you review the attributes of the eight primary gua which makes up the gua of the I Ching you will see that the qualities mentioned in the gokui fit under one of those eight which equates to the other sixty four gua of the book of changes.

Kun: earth, responding, quiet, yielding, docile, belly, mother
Gen: mountain, stand still, accomplish, resting, halting, hand
Kan: moon, water, sinking, venturing, moisturizing, below, ear
Xun: wind, penetrating, assembling, dispersing, lying, thigh
Zhen: thunder, moving, approaching, arousing, rising, foot
Li: sun, fire, clinging, illuminating, radiating, above, eye
Dui: lake, delighting, determining, pleasing, seeing, mouth
Qian: heaven, initiating, active, firm, virile, head, father

Kun and Qian are the yin and yang which both symbolize heaven and earth to connect the 1st and 3rd tome of the gokui.

Kan and Li are the moon and sun which also represent the opposites or yin and yang but represent changes so that connects the 2nd and 5th tome not to forget that they both refer to the eye and ear as well as seeing and hearing so the 7th and 8th tome are also connected here.

Dui connects to the 7th and 8th tome for hearing.
Circumstances or the 6th tome is referenced indirectly to the other gua which can be represented by their opposites as they are associated in the I Ching.

Qian of course the 1st tome of the gokui. Head can be a symbol of the eyes and ears so they connect us to the 7th and 8th tomes. Firm to the 3rd to symbolize hard and soft and active to the 6th to symbolize the ability to strike due to circumstances, etc.

Once you start to "look" or "see" between the lines and outside the box you can connect many things. One of the wonders of the gokui and by extension the I Ching, etc. is that depending on many factors they both "change direction" at any time allowing the book of changes to apply to all things, all persons, and at any time of life be it the ancient times or the "now."

Notice: I am not the all knowing or what ever of the I Ching nor the Kenpo Gokui but if what I write in my meanderings causes pause or the mind to say, "Hmm or Ah-ha!" then I have accomplished a service.
