Usually, when we take a decision and want to make a change, we assume that we have to act in a completely new way, to add something unprecedented to the already existing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, however, the solution lies in just the opposite: to do nothing – and to let go of something. Maybe of our self-image, a habit, our accustomed view on something, our habitual “but we always…”. Perhaps it is also our impulse to bang with our fist on the table and to push our will through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

If we found that what we should let go of, found it and actually let go of it, then our glance will open. And we will first feel and then see: the NEW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Reflections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Changes. Is that what hexagram<\/a> 21 – biting through<\/em> is about? About how to fundamentally change things, relationships, modes of behavior in one’s own life? I almost get the impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This weekend I wrote to a friend who is in such a process of change. And the amazing insight was: Once you have found the switch that needs to be flipped, then the rest goes almost by itself. It still takes time, you need patience, but actually you don’t have to “do” much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But where is this switch? With the friend it had to do with (childhood) pain, which he had pushed away for a long time. At some point he found courage and circumstances to face it. To surrender. And since he had done that… everything changes. Because suddenly all those weird patterns are becoming apparent (and obsolete) that had only served to prevent him from facing the pain. Now he can let go of those patterns. And start a completely different, new life. (Yes, but how do you find that switch? Folks, get some support! You don’t always have to do everything on your own, all alone. Or, eventually, I could phrase it like that: If you have decided to seriously look for the “switch” (the decision is very important!), then you only have to be a little attentive, keep your eyes open, because then “support” will run into you. Quite sure :) )<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scope of Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
