From the I CHING’s HOUSE OF THE ABYSSMAL: WATER series

Speech and writing are imperfect transmitters of thought, but by means of images— we would say “ideas’— and the stimuli continued in them, force is set in motion whose action transcends the limits of time…
— Richard Wilhelm translated by Cary Baynes, from The I Ching: the Great Treatise
The I Ching, aka, the Chinese oracle also called the BOOK OF CHANGES, is a “reflection of the universe in miniature.” Attention is placed not on things in their state of being, but upon their movements in change. Its 64 hexagrams describe typical but different states of energy found in life.
Each hexagram is composed of 2 trigrams, that are named after 8 elements of nature to describe particular qualities (wind is “gentle”). The I CHING has 8 HOUSES, each based on one of these forces.
THE HOUSE OF WATER, begins with the double of a trigram for water, or “water over water”, named #29 ABYSS. The element of water never loses its essential nature, it flows on and on and remains true to itself. It centers on the heart that penetrates the meaning of all situations.
The 3rd change in THE HOUSE OF WATER is composed of water over thunder, #3 SPROUT or “difficulty at the beginning”. Like a plant pushing through the dirt, once roots are established, growth continues. Here “the superior being brings order out of chaos.” In this situation, helpers are needed to work together, for growth to continue.
