EXPOSING THE TRUTH

The I Ching is of immense value in overcoming fear and exposing the truth. I use the phrase “exposing the truth” because whenever the cause of your fear is unmasked, there is the shining kernel of truth informing you that there is nothing that can happen to you that will not be to your great benefit. Even the worst thing that can happen will be to your benefit. Using the I Ching, you can ask:

“What do I need to know about my current fear?”

“What will happen if my current fear materializes?”

“What can I do to eliminate the cause of my fear?”

People have asked me, “What about the people who have AIDS or cancer or Alzheimer’s who will die a painful, demoralizing death? Shouldn’t they be afraid? What benefit could they possibly derive from those horrible diseases?” Those are truly difficult situations to see as being beneficial, but remember the wisdom from the I Ching that I cited in chapter one: “That intelligent, creative, aware force [that created and sustains the Universe] endlessly shapes and alters us to the purpose that we will ultimately come to achieve our true nature.”

Fu Hsi, the ancient Chinese sage who stated that truth so many thousands of years ago, perceived the two fundamental principles of life that are still in effect today: “Change is constant” and “Every event benefits you.” When you are beginning to understand that everything that befalls you benefits you, it may be difficult to perceive that any benefit could ever come through a major catastrophe or a great illness. It is better to start practicing that philosophy with small things, like a stubbed toe, a lost wallet, or a missed bus or plane. See whether you can find a benefit in that— perhaps by realizing that stubbing your toe, for example, released an acupressure point—and then be thankful for the experience.
