The ideograph of Huan expresses its original meaning. The image on the left represents water. It resembles the primary gua for Water , turned vertically. On the top right is a knife, and on the bottom are two hands with fingers and arms. In the middle are two pieces of ice. Taken as a whole, this ideograph pictures a knife used to break up the ice, with two hands separating the pieces of ice. The ice melts and becomes water, at last dispersing and vanishing. The structure of the gua is Wind above, Water below. The wind blows over the water and disperses the waves. The inner gua is Water; its attribute is danger. It symbolizes one’s vital energy blocked within. The outer gua is Wind; its attribute is penetration. Penetrating and breaking the blockage leads to dispersion.
A quick geopolitical Yi. Kissinger is a very important person, though exactly whom he works for is hard to say – no doubt those who really pull the strings in the West and world wide, not the lower level secretaries we see serving as Presidents and CEO’s and petty billionaires and such.
The Yi indicates that a geopolitical softening may be in the offing; also that Kissinger’s posture was one of self-effacement, indicating a possible capitulation or climbing down on the part of the West.
As always, time will tell.
