ESSENE THOU COMMENTARY:
The Third of THE FOUR GREATS mentioned in THOU DEI JINN, and the final part
of our Triune or Immortal Identity, is called "LIBIDO;" and it is our 'Soul'
or Light-Body. While we have learned much about from THOU DEI JINN, here we
are given it's Totemic Symbol (though we must STILL each find our own unique
'totemic specialty' as a Soul.) The basic Symbol of Soul is A SPROUTING SHOOT
of plant-life.. symbolically explaining that the Soul both GROWS just as plants
do, AND that it starts 'small' and must struggle as it rises above the ground
of ID in which it was planted. Given time, this sprout becomes a TREE; the
Tree Of Life itself, which we may study through Kaballah and other traditions
of self-growth. The Chinese name for this sprouting Tree is 'CHURN.' And in
this we learn a powerful Truth.. for, Libido IS the bellows of Heaven and
Earth; it is this Soul-portion of Self which alone has the power to 'pump'
matter out of non-being, for it's needs. A 'churn' is a primitive device
used by farmers to turn the cream in milk into butter; so it is with Libido.
By use of the plant-symbol in meditations and magical rites, we can churn-out
Soul-needed improvements that the Super-Ego will bless and the ID will bring
forth materially. If you have ever seen any of the sculptures of Bodhisattvas
and Buddhas, you may have seen plant-like 'flames' running up their arms and
shoulders. THAT is this plant, symbolic of 'Shakti' or psycho-sexual energy
which is the Soul's unique Force and special skill.
Received as an Oracular Response in divination, this Hexagram explains that
the answer to your question is LIBIDO and how it grows through pumping and
churning, until what it needs is provided for it by the two previous symbols
or Hexagrams, which are it's 'parents.' In fine: CHURN, AND GROW!
