The image is the mountain, the motivation is keeping still. The soul is between heaven and earth, spirit and body. The Soul, like the river, has to flow from the source in the mountain to the sea, then be transformed, die, into clouds, and finally be reincarnated again as rain in the mountains. The motivation is danger and the abyss. First you experience awe and anxiety, then laughter, because you understand the game and the rules.
Awareness here means living in tune with the spirit of the time, the East.
The image is the night heaven. The motivation is creativity. The purpose of the I Ching is to merge with cosmic creativity. The Trigrams are accessible to consciousness and physical exercises like the Pa Kua of Tai Chi Chuan. There is a specific Tai Chi exercise tied to each of the Trigrams.
