Since there is no direct human spoken language between the Spirit and ourselves, there must of necessity be a perseverance from us in learning to understand and apply the cosmic language."<BR/><BR/>Is it not true that "the woman" could be symbolic for hexagram 2 as "The Receptive" and that the advice is to continue to be devoted, and to be like the receptive female principle, and persevering in that course will open us eventually to the cosmic language as you call it. <BR/><BR/>The other thing I think of when reading this is the love a mother (female prinicple) has for her child...unconditional love. So, too, our love should be like the love of a mother for her child; no matter what else goes on, it should be unconditional. <BR/><BR/>To tell the truth, I wish there were a word that meant unconditonal love. Using love alone often causes confusion because people automatically think of romantic love, and it's not the same thing at all.Michelle Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675115550511773648noreply@blogger.com
