Hexagram 63

Trigrams: inside fire (Manifestation), outside water (Endless)

enough and food: already, finished.
water and level: ford.

The master says: When you leave the to be a human and humanity means to feed the body and let it exist and go on, but there is something in the human that says that can not be all. And on a day when you set the food out your mind and take the most necessary then when you look to the river your mind has become so sharp that you see where the river is on his upside the same, but you see the place where the bottom of the river lies much higher. You can walk to the other side and standing in the middle of the river you feel in your self that to go on you will enter another world where all is the same and your soul gives you the answer: “You live now in God’s world” and when you walk back to the river to the place where you has walking through it, the bottom is not longer high, he is deep as the whole river is. In your first situation of let the food to the human and take the most necessary as corns of grain to you, you have made with your human body Qi-power so strong that is has left (lifted?) the bottom of the river for you so that you can enter God’s world and to go live as God.

The corn of grain has a power in it, the sprouting power, but it is the real Qi power in which the corn can thousands of years lie where the place is good enough for it to hold this power and comes after all those thousands years and comes with the same power out the corn as it had growing in the ears. So it is absolute necessary that for a human being the surrounding he lives in has the right vibrations this corn can stay in health. It also give this health to the human when he is busy in his spiritual intelligence to look to the path he has to go to come by the river he has to cross.

This whole telling from me is based on one of the basic rules of Zen Buddhism “never be yourself, always be the other” and in this very old culture you can leave the humanity that has your name and standing in the middle of the river you can make the step in the other, so as Zen give you as basic rule of to exist in protection and the other is God. So Zen says don’t be yourself, be God.
