Patterns Of Reality

There is no question that reality operates according to certain and specific patterns. If these patterns are known, one can theoretically and absolutely know the occurrences of events before they manifest. I would safely guess that most people today do not believe this to be true. Most people are not comfortable with or cannot accept the fact that the future can be foretold. To the few who do believe it, they see its possibility only being available to those with 'magical powers'. They envision stoic monks sitting cross-legged in quiet solitude on a high majestic mountain with eyes closed. Or perhaps, a little witchy looking lady chanting incoherent parables while stirring a strange smelling brew over a wood-burning stove. Well, these visions may be valid, but it is far from the complete story. The truth is that anyone can foretell events and it takes no special skills or intelligence. In fact, the more intelligent or logical one is, the more difficult it becomes. One doesn't even necessarily need common sense, although common sense would be more valuable than intellect. The most important attribute in my opinion would be imagination. One with a vivid sense of visualization or fantasy can tap into alternate realms much easier than people with the highest I.Q. I refer to imagination as 'Power Of The Heart' and people with heart power can align with reality to a much greater degree than the high I.Q. head-trippers.

Individualization is another all important necessity in aligning with higher frequency realms. If one is able to disassociate from mass-behavior and allow themselves to not be influenced by the rules of society, they have a greater chance of becoming a true master or even enlightened, depending on the degree of their disassociation. Some of the greatest detriments to enlightenment would consist of unhealthy eating habits, lack of quiet time, influence of the media such as television, radio, newspapers, etc., visiting doctors or dentists, organized religion, education from grade school to universities, and more than a million other influences. Understanding the ultimate patterns of reality calls for an individualized existence. This doesn't mean you have to necessarily be alone, it means that you must break away from the habits of modern day robotic tendencies. If you must adapt to mass behavior I would strongly suggest you turn to the habits and tendencies of nature. You will not be let down, as nature has no biased interest in what you have or have not. Nature will be your unconditional friend and will help you on your path to wherever you are heading regardless of your social position, finances, or beliefs. Simply put : Follow nature and you will be rewarded.

Back to the patterns of reality. In terms of astrology and divination, we can get a glimpse of the Tao before it transforms into various segments and forms of energy (chi) and reaches human perception. There are methods that will show us the future down to the tiniest little detail. Many 'masters' don't like it when people say this for one reason or another. One reason they try to sweep this thought under the rug is because they know it is true and if approached to give a divination they will look incompetent if they fail in their divination. So they say things like, " Do not use the I Ching, or the Luo Shu, or 4 Pillars (Ba Zi) for looking into the future...use it to cultivate yourself to become a better person". There's nothing wrong with becoming a better person, but there's also nothing wrong with looking into the future either. By concentrating on the moral aspects, they don't have to worry about losing face for failed predictions. The truth, however, is that 90% of them have failed at both. Another popular line by the master is, " Astrology and divination cannot tell you what is going to happen, it can only give you a general idea". I can assure you that divination will give you a general idea if you are a general diviner...a detailed idea if you are a detailed diviner...and no idea if you don't study or understand the patterns of reality. I can show you a simple square containing 9 numbers called a Luo Shu chart that will allow you a look into the future with uncanny accuracy, from weather patterns to world events to personal situations and everything in between. I can show you 8 three-lined figures called The Early Heaven Trigrams that will answer any question you care to ask with pinpoint accuracy. It sounds amazing, but it really isn't. It's only a matter of studying certain principles that reveal the patterns of reality.
