This is the feast in which all partake and the blessings showered on us through the ancestors after they have received and accepted the sacrifice and presented our needs to the High Lord. It is a synonym of yi, change, as gift or blessing, a transformation affected by a crossing. Like a transforming line in the Change, it is a connection of Heaven and Earth brought about by ritual, sacrifice and inner work. Philosophically, it is what enriches power and virtue, rising and opening from the seeds. It is the waxing moon, the celebrant, the New King, the blessing. Centering and Connecting to the Spirits represents an access to the thought of the heart. It opens a center where the vital forces are rooted in the self, the inner riches of pigs and fishes hidden in the Stream of Life. It is the space between Heaven and Earth where the Myriad Beings live, a mediating space that connects the inner and outer lives of all things. Thus it signifies divination and a symbol given by the spirits that is realized, proved and manifested in life. It is trust in the images that flow from the heart and the spirit that makes them true.
