Our attention is then immediately drawn to the contention between the
Jewish Kabbalistic calendaring worldview which is celebrated by the New
Moon Festival on 25 January 2012 and that which is given by the Canon of
Supreme Mystery published in 2 BCE. This Chinese Lunar Calendar uses the
KAN descriptor which correlates to “Heaven’s Mystery” on #8 - KAN
(Tetragram: #8 - Opposition; I-Ching: H46 - Moving Upward) as the entry
for the New Moon festival celebrated on midnight Monday 23 January 2012
as commencing the Year of the Dragon which according to the 364.5 day
calendar of the Natural Year used at the time of the HAN Dynasty (206
BCE-220 CE), found its inception as the New Moon on the midnight of the
Winter Solstice of 21 December 103 BCE on #1 - CHUNG (Tetragram: #1 -
Centre; I-Ching: H61 - Inner Truth).

According to Yang Hsiung’s 2 BCE commentary of the appraisals, the Yang
ch’i here supports things in their advance, and seems to be drilling
into solid matter. Thrusting forward like a spear, there is penetration.
The title of this tetragram means “to hit or knock against,” “to
offend,”, “to seek”, and “to violate.” The clearly negative associations
are employed by Yang in the unlucky, odd-numbered Appraisals:
“The high priest therefore asked Jesus {savior; deliverer} of his
disciples, and of his teaching. Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly
to the world; I ever taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all
the Jews come together; and in secret spake I nothing. Why askest thou
me? Ask them that have heard me, what I spake unto them: behold, these
know the things which I said. And when he had said this, one of the
officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, Answerest thou
the high priest so? Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear
witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me? Annas {one who
answers; humble} therefore sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high
priest.” [John 18:19-24 (ASV)]

“They took Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for
himself, unto the place called The place of a skull, which is called in
Hebrew, Golgotha: where they crucified him, and with him two others, on
either side one, and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote a title also,
and put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE
KING OF THE JEWS. This title therefore read many of the Jews, for the
place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written
in Hebrew, and in Latin, and in Greek. The chief priests of the Jews
therefore said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he
said, I am King of the Jews. Pilate answered, What I have written I have
written.” [John 19:17-22 (ASV)]
“After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the
scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst. There was set there a
vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon
hyssop, and brought it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received
the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up
his spirit. The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the
bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of
that sabbath was a high day), asked of Pilate that their legs might be
broken, and that they might be taken away. The soldiers therefore came,
and brake the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified
with him: but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already,
they brake not his legs: howbeit one of the soldiers with a spear
pierced his side, and straightway there came out blood and water. And he
that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true: and he
knoweth that he saith true, that ye also may believe.” [John 19:28-35 (ASV)]
But the Tetragram also celebrates some positive aspects of opposition,
especially loyal opposition by worthy advisors at court, which in some
sense mimics the bracing effect of yang ch’i upon the myriad living
things. The calendar indicates the Great Cold, a fifteen-day solar
period not less harsh that a remonstrant’s stern admonition: #1 -
(MALE/2nd Boy) was held in common with Pythagorean belief, and “The
beginning of things. In effect, all numbers are manifestations of this
one. Some ancients even argued against counting one as a number, as it
is the source of numbers. It is the initial pulse and the sum of all
things. It is unity of the Godhead made manifest and the symbol of
wisdom.” Still, thanks to yang ch’i, the myriad things will eventually
break out of their hard shells to meet the light of day. Similarly, the
individual is beholden to loyal critics for the liberation of his thoughts.
“They lead Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium: and it was
early; and they themselves entered not into the Praetorium, that they
might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. Pilate therefore went
out unto them, and saith, What accusation bring ye against this man?
They answered and said unto him, If this man were not an evildoer, we
should not have delivered him up unto thee. Pilate therefore said unto
them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews
said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: that the
word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying by what
manner of death he should die.
Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, and called Jesus,
and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? Jesus answered, Sayest
thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me? Pilate
answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests delivered
thee unto me: what hast thou done? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of
this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants
fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom
not from hence. Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then?
Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end have I been
born, and to this end am I come into the world, that I should bear
witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went
out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find no crime in him.”
[John 18:28-38 (ASV)]
The fledgling moral conscience, then, depends for its survival on the
expert ‘drilling’ of a wiser individual. Inexpert advice, however,
further weakens the conscience, just as clumsy probing with a drill
damages the base material:
#1 - To Guide with Names, Reason's Realisation; I-Ching: H58 - Joy;
Tetragram: 24 - Joy
#8 - Worth of Water, Easy By Nature; I-Ching: H48 - Well; Tetragram: 40
- Law/Model
#34 - Great Guide, Trust in its Perfection; I-Ching: H18 - Arresting
Decay; Tetragram: 27 - Duties
A great many Warring States philosophical texts insist upon the
minister’s right to remonstrate with his ruler, and under certain
circumstances to even depose him. It could even be argued that Confucius
authorised such views, for as the Master reportedly said: “How can he be
accounted loyal who refrains from admonishing the object of his loyalty?”
In general, this tradition was upheld, even strengthened in early
Western Han. The “Garden of Sayings” by Yang Hsiungs contemporary, Liu
Hisang (79-8 BCE) as the venerable “Son of Government” and relative to
the founder of the Han dynasty, devotes an entire chapter to ministerial
remonstrance, drawing upon numerous historical and pseudo-historical
anecdotes. However, certain Confucians (perhaps under Legalist
influence) began to argue that forthright remonstrance threatened the
dignity of the throne and undercut the principle of strict hierarchy
underlying the social order.
“They cried out therefore again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas {son
of shame, confusion}. Now Barabbas was a robber.” [John 18:40 (ASV)]
“They therefore cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him!
Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests
answered, We have no king but Caesar.” [John 19:15 (ASV)]
More conservative texts, then, proposed that “a good subject does not
admonish in a direct way.” By 79CE, the scholastics in discussions on
orthodoxy concluded that of five different kinds of remonstrance,
“forthright remonstrance is the worst.” Yang Hsiung appears to harken
back to the Warring States and early Western Han thinkers on this issue.
His “Model Sayings” argues that certain kinds of indirect criticism
actually encourage, rather than curb evil tendencies. In this tetragram,
he advocates “forthright” criticism on the part of the official, so long
as the ruler has been adequately prepared.
The drill is a metaphor for speech that plays upon the listener’s own
predispositions for effect. The intelligent advisor, like the good
artisan, carefully calculates his moves. Just as the drill tip must be
applied with extreme care, words of remonstrance must be aimed
cautiously, lest further damage result. This is especially true if there
are weak spots in the base material (that is, the conscience of the
listener). The evil rhetorician, in contrast, purposely preys upon the
faults of his audience, until he persuades others to prefer wrong. If
this goes on at court, it will soon create havoc in the kingdom.
Appraisal 2: At the first small signs, oppose and rectify. Only apply
the model decrees.
Fathoming 2: At first small signs, to oppose and rectify means: “He
greatly protests small errors.”
The most effective remonstrance is levelled at incipient evil for the
simple reason that mistakes are far easier to correct before they have
become well-established habits. Early reproofs help the person who is
basically good “deal with the thing while it is still nothing”. All
parties then become one in their dedication to applying the model
decrees transmitted from the sages.
Appraisal 3: He gags his mouth with wood, and bolts tight the lock. This
is counter to propriety.
Fathoming 3: Gagged and bolted so tightly means: “Seeking salary is
perverse.”
The “gag” and the “bolt” referred to in appraisal three are slang for
the rhetorical devices practiced by unscrupulous advisors. I suspect
that the gag describes the clever speaker preventing his opponents from
answering his arguments; and the bolt, taking advantage of the
listener’s prejudices to construct a seemingly airtight argument. One
later commentator, however, takes the gag and bolts as synonyms, meaning
“to preserve a tactical silence during debate” so as to curry favour
with those in authority. In this way, petty men secure their own
fortunes while tricking the unwary listener into embarking on disastrous
policies. Such scheming makes a mockery of the solemn injunction of the
“Odes” to “seek good fortune by no evil ways.” Conceivably both gag and
bolt could refer to the evil official’s attempt to “block up the
people’s mouth.”
Appraisal 4: Critical words cut to the bone because the time is right.
Fathoming 4: The time for sharp criticism means: “To be forthright is
his way.”
The “bones” in this appraisal signify the innermost being. If an
admonition “cuts to the bone,” it means that it is both “incisive” and
“taken to heart.” Clearly, the advisor has chosen the right time to
level his forthright criticism. Had he spoken at the wrong time, he
would have suffered the ill effects of the other’s anger without having
persuaded him to reform his conduct.
Appraisal 6: The trunk reaches to heaven. With propriety comes prosperity.
Fathoming 6: Properly aligned for the trunk’s reach means: “Thus is
prosperity preserved.”
In a yin tetragram, Position 6 represents the apex of the cycle; hence,
the image of a tree piercing the sky. The tree trunk stands for the
staunch friend and advisor, especially the high official who supports
his ruler, though it may also symbolise the emperor as “axis mundi”
(center of the world) of the universe. If the tree trunk is tall enough
to reach to Heaven, it is surely grand enough to support any endeavour
on Earth.
Appraisal 7: When shouldered spears are many, confrontations follow.
Fathoming 7: Shouldering spears in great numbers means: “They do not
give way.”
Spears symbolise a quarrelsome nature. Belligerent individuals tend to
meet misfortune because of their warlike proclivities. The final
fathoming line (literally means: “not admitted on the Way”) is
intentionally ambiguous. It can mean that the bellicose ignore the
decided advantages of the Way of deference, or that the troops on one or
both sides do not yield their ground. Both situations prove equally
dangerous. If we assume that this verse concerns not only Opposition but
controversial speech the reference could be to slanderers, whose rumours
can fire up an entire city. [Nylan 1993:130-134]

My favourite Iraqi / Italian 31 yo: “Hey dolf long time no see, how is
it hanging?”
dolf: “I’ve done an exceptional thing this weekend. I knocked the
foremost philosopher of the 20th century off his perch and kicked the
Catholic Church to hell.
I’m feeling very proud of myself.”
My str8 bi-polar m8 26 yo: “Wouldn’t the Jews have got[ten] their
narrative off some African tribe?”
dolf: “22/7 as rational PI/ENNEAD are historical artefacts deduced from
the 10 Commandments as cosmological, linguistic and metaphysical notions
of a consciousness.”
My str8 bi-polar m8 26 yo: “So where did Moses go and learn the Ten
Commandments?”
dolf: “And how good was the advice?”
My str8 bi-polar m8 26 yo: “Yep pretty good, but he might have gone and
visited a mountain top tribe [who] already knew the wisdom and agreed to
share it with him.”
dolf: “Set in stone, I think.”
My str8 bi-polar m8 26 yo: “By a couple of giant aliens with extremely
advanced technology.”
dolf: “I have the technology.”
My str8 bi-polar m8 26 yo: “So you are a special kind of angel?”
dolf: “What do you think my grapple model is but, all about angels.”
My str8 bi-polar m8 26 yo: “So you have them all at your disposal?”
dolf: “Have a good night’s sleep.”
My str8 bi-polar m8 26 yo: “Is it possible to deliberately bring me into
the different states of nature so that I can experience the nature of
them. And should I be careful with which subjects I choose at uni?”
dolf: “It is possible with neural logical triggers to put / place you
into those modes (even to bring an onset of a bi-polar tantrum: having
or relating to two poles or extremities). Just like the music Janelle
Monae the ArchAndroid released 17 May 2010 of [an] a priori pleasurable
experience was able to put you to sleep.
Your uni subjects should help you in your own self discovery.”
My str8 bi-polar m8 26 yo: “Ok, I felt like I was feeling the wrath of
God and you were testing my ability to remain calm. I feel like I have
been given a special role and I have been watched for a very long time
to decide if I was truly worthy. How does your background in the police
affect the way you operate with me?”
dolf: “It may be an intuitiveness about the inner mechanics of mind you
are dealing with during your bi-polar tantrum. The ideas you were
expressing are not unlike the categories of the mathematical mechanism
of the religious mysteries I was working on at the time.”
My str8 bi-polar m8 26 yo: “What are the three treasures?”
dolf: “The 3 treasures are:
Kindness: You thanked me for my kindness towards you. And you expressed
them in tears.
Frugality: Whenever anybody asks you what you learned from your time on
the streets. The answer is: How to be humble.
No Presumption: That I am first among all under Heaven.
Because I am! You did mention aliens during your bi-polar episode.”
My str8 bi-polar m8 26 yo: “I know, isn’t there a chance a race of
aliens turned up, studied us [and] then decided to set up some
impressive displays to convince humans they were god?”

Skank on My Pillow @ 10:38:56 AM 19 January 2012
There is Skank on my pillow. How could you? Arsewipe. For 50 years I’ve
waited for a man to sleep naked next to me (my bed undefiled), hoping
that the man of my dreams [fun, sane, sorted, sporty, masculine looking
for action with similar] is certainly not going to be a picture of
arrogant defiance (front of the class and with intent) as if he was
already such a spiteful inhospitable Lawyer there on only a false
pretence about some pinprick sob-stories caught up in time:
NO-ONE COMES INTO MY HOUSE DUDE WITHOUT SHOWING ME THEIR REAL PICTURES
(AND YOU DON’T TAKE MY IMAGE OUT OF THE HOUSE WITHOUT MY APPROVAL) ALL
THE WHILE FALSELY CLAIMING TO BEING HOSPITABLE TO MY SOUL AND BEING,
CREEPING AS PESTILENCE -- A BACK DOOR INVADER BY A NATHAN FANNY
Who’s so proud of his own shit? I can see it clear as crystal, what good
is he? Cause he can’t even drag a can of OUST past the kitchen as BBRT
Profile: ALLABOUTARSES (Pump and Dump) and little taste of a blonde and
a tightfisted Friday vault.
The maladjusted scientologist whore is now silent and dead, pucker up
TRAVIS and give it what your got: Pucker up dear! I’ve always wanted to
resolve life's difficult questions, like how many wrinkles there are in
a cat's arse.
That is one hell of a disturbed, delusional and paranoid reality helped
along by our little Swami who is so full of Kant and needs a lesson in
the metaphysics of morals -- still in denial regarding the ultimate

most people on supporting the recent two wars, and especially the
capacity to cease them in victory.

further kindness towards their souls.”
My str8 bi-polar m8 26 yo: “I get feeling that I am included in those
you speak of. I would like to think that I had shown you nothing but
kindness in our exchanges, and if I have asked for too much, I’m sorry

like to learn more in time but do what you have to do in the mean time.
All the best.”
dolf: “The conversation, we [are having] is in chapter: Being & Time

you read my latest chapter?
The drill bit tip (the needle prick of acupuncture) mentioned in the
appraisals made for the time above in relation to Opposition may have a
neural-linguistic significance associated to the use of slander for an
effective force. In how one applies it to the necessary use of the
categorical imperative as idea transmitted of the temporal mode and its
relation to the continuum of soul, which is at once implied by the
transversal through the dialectic progression asserted by the historical
astrological, ancestral connectedness and calendaring observation that
on the Winter Solstice of 21 December 103 BCE on #1 - CHUNG (Tetragram:
#1 - Centre; I-Ching: H61 - Inner Truth) and the here and now as it
correlates to “Heaven’s Mystery” on #8 - KAN (Tetragram: #8 -
Opposition; I-Ching: H46 - Moving Upward) as the entry for the New Moon
festival celebrated on midnight Monday 23 January 2012.
Pu (simplified Chinese: 朴; traditional Chinese: 樸; pinyin: pǔ, pú;
Wade–Giles: p'u; lit. “uncut wood”) is translated “uncarved block”,
“unhewn log”, or “simplicity”. It is a metaphor for the state of wu wei
(無爲) and the principle of jian (儉). It represents a passive state of
receptiveness. Pu is a symbol for a state of pure potential and
perception without prejudice. In this state, Taoists believe everything
is seen as it is, without preconceptions or illusion. Pu is usually seen
as keeping oneself in the primordial state of tao. It is believed to be
the true nature of the mind, unburdened by knowledge or experiences. In
the state of pu, there is no right or wrong, beautiful or ugly. There is
only pure experience, or awareness, free from learned labels and
definitions. It is this state of being that is the goal of following wu
wei.” [ref: Wikipedia 2012:Taoism]
According to Yang Hsiung’s 2 BCE observations of the model sayings, “the
drill is a metaphor for speech that plays upon the listener’s own
predispositions for effect. Shang Yang, for example, purportedly knew
three techniques by which to “drill” his evil persuasions into Duke
Hsiao of Ch’in.” [Nylan 1993:132]
I am your friend mate, but I do feel somewhat accountable for your onset
of a bi-polar tantrum episode which continued for the duration of my

portion of the chapter.”
My str8 bi-polar m8 26 yo: “Can you give me the attributes of that
particular conversation, it felt like I was reaching a very high level
of understanding.”
dolf: “I will do that for you, but it will take sometime.”
My str8 bi-polar m8 26 yo: “At least tell me who you really are.”
dolf: “It’s up there now.”
My str8 bi-polar m8 26 yo: “Wow you did heaps, I’ll have [to] read it now.”
dolf: “Good I’m going to resume writing about my story, could you now
keep quiet whilst I finish it?
I had a sleepless night last night because I changed my vitamin regime
and had too much neurological stimulation, that I could not rest.”
My str8 bi-polar m8 26 yo: “What do I do now that I’ve unplugged?”
dolf: “Did you like my chapter?”
My str8 bi-polar m8 26 yo: “Yes I did.”
dolf: “Good Boy!”
My str8 bi-polar m8 26 yo: “Can you summarise the ideas?”
dolf: “I have #729 appraisals as the building blocks of ideas which are
defined by my Grapple cube.”
My str8 bi-polar m8 26 yo: “How many programs [like this] are in place
in Australian culture?”
dolf: “Some have suggested my parodies of Australian cultural identity
and idealism given in earlier chapters: “PickMe Up!” and “Willies &
Butts” is a pogrom against jingoism!”
