Daily Signet

All of the 64 hexagrams in the I-Ching, the Book of Changes, are based on the right actions of the Creative (yang, male) and the Receptive (Yin, female). If either yang or yin are so much as a hair’s width from where they belong at a particular time, the I-Ching describes this moment as a “great misfortune.” However, when Yang and Yin are precisely where they belong, the I-Ching  describes this moment as their being “complete.” How important is this moment for yang AND yin? The I-Ching tells us that if either the Creative or the Receptive “…were destroyed, there would be nothing by which the changes could be perceived. If there were no more changes to be seen, the effects of the Creative and the Receptive would also gradually cease.” Quite simply, without the right actions of the Creative and the Receptive, life would cease….Christuman means to become the greatest human you can be, man or woman, remembering that we each carry both. To be less than this is a great misfortune to the Universe which will only know you once.
