Wu Xing, Bagua and Kabbalah

Wu Xing, Bagua and Kabbalah

Using 5 element theory for hexagram interpretation.by D.H.Van den Berghe

In the previous post we've focused on the I Ching at the Sixiang level, that is, reading the hexagrams as groups of 3 digrams; here we'll focus on the Bagua level, and we'll read every hexagram as a group of 2 trigrams.

What D.H. Vand den Berghe lists as "create, join, control, insult, weaken" I translate, in this order, as "木, 火, 土, 金, 水" in the tables below.

Notice that I'm not using "木, 火, 土, 金, 水"  as symbols for the Wu Xing elements. Rather, I'm using these ideograms as symbols for the arrows between the Wu Xing elements.

Table 3. In this table I translated the hexagrams from Table 2 into hebrew letters, using the tables from this blog's first post.

Here are some patterns one may notice from Table 3:

Example 1. All same-letter pairs: horizontal and vertical.

Example 2. All same-letter pairs: diagonal.

Example 3. All same-letter pairs which are spaced by one letter.

All examples ( 1, 2 and 3 ) show letters that fill neighbouring paths on the Tree of Life.
Here's the Tree of Life diagram:
