8 Trigrams

 The Eight trigrams in the Ba Gua has been a big meditation instrument today. Many things can be learned just by looking upon the Ba Gua.

Heaven resides at the South with all things under it, but all things under heaven help create heaven. In Heaven one is allowed to be empty, have Wu as it was. This is the starting point of producing great Chi. How do you get to Heaven, by working on the earthly matters.

Walk on earth long enough and mountains will start to form. From the mountains water will flow. With the wind one can see the heaven. Heaven feeding earth and valley. With a valley one can find fire. With fire comes the need of thunder to control the fire. With Thunder the man walks toward the shelter of the mountain.

Start from any Trigram you wish but all trigrams feed the next in line while pulling from the one adjacent from it. So Heaven draws from earth while feeding the valley. The valley pulls from mountains to produce fire. Fire pulls from water, which may not sound like it is possible, but water produces life in the form of fuel for the fire, so it is correct to say that fire pulls from water. In turn it produces carbon and mixes in the sky helping produce thunder storms. The Thunder storms pull from the wind and feeds the earth. With thunder comes fear, balance, and motivation. The earth pulls energy from the Heaven while producing the ability for mountains. Mountains rely of valleys being created in them in order to produce water in valleys.

The cycle goes on. A Ba Gua is fun to play with. Fire producing too much thunder may scorch the earth. In other words the quality of fire not balancing with water can create a Thunder storm that scorches the earth instead of balances.

One may find wind only when fire and water have been balanced to produce the H2O molecule. Not enough fire and water remains, Too much and air will vanish quickly.
