The Armāta
7. The Armāta
Ratnasambhava Submissive
A great trial looms on the horizon. Now is the time for properly gathering together spiritual forces to sufficiently encounter the situation. Ratnasambhava is submissive to Akshobhya in the sense of taking spiritual refuge in the Immovable One in the face of all evil; yea, the Matrix of the Jewel is secure and sheltered by the Matrix of the Diamond Mind. Hence a great armāta is formed, an assemblage of a great fleet of impregnable spiritual forces.

Self-conflict
6. Self-conflict
Akshobhya Confined
Separation from equanimity within the Self-Mind leads to dire straits. One becomes identified (false self-recognition) again exclusively with phenomenal outflows and thus submerges the Essential-Self that is synonymous with the Primordial-Source Itself. Hence one is in Self-conflict. One must constantly recollect that all defiled-garbha cannot touch the Essence of who you really are.

The Waiting
5. The Waiting
Vairochana’s Watch
The situation at hand cannot be resolved without nurturing one’s inner-resourcefulness and strength. The Primordials will reveal the resolution once one is fully attuned with their own oracular perception of eventual outcomes. This is a time of watchfulness as one awaits Mind’s own gnosis of unraveling the bundle of possibilities into only one, one based solely on the unobstructed field of the Dharmakaya—known simply as Vairochana’s Watch.

Babes in the Woods
4. Babes in the Woods
Amoghasiddhi Rising
In comparison to the Primordials, aspiring spiritual adepts are like lost “babes in the woods.” This hexagram counsels that one needs to utilize the Unborn I Ching as a lantern shining luminous light that leads one safely through the Dark Wood of Error. This is a representation of Amoghasiddhi Rising, as his Luminous Green Light is the “All Accomplishing Wisdom” that lifts the ascetic from samsaric incarceration to the Enlightening-Spirit-Sphere of Divine Wisdom.
Obstacles
3. Obstacles
Akshobhya Bound
In the midst of present difficulties a supernal prize awaits as one is now Akshobhya-bound. It’s a time of neither going nor standing still, as the aspiring ascetic is empowered to transcend the restrictions of samsaric reality. In order to win Akshobhya’s crown one must remain resilient (immovable) in the face of all obstacles by disengaging from phenomena through wu-wei—actionless activity.
The Celestial Dragon Mind
1. The Celestial Dragon Mind
Ascending Vairochana’s Throne
The creative subtlety of the Celestial Dragon Mind is available to you in all Its fullness. For the gods are small but I Am the Unborn. I Am your Primordial Partner and progress is made through quiescent acceptance of principled truths. This is known as the Noble Imperative. Quiescence here pertains to remaining in the All AS All; whereas exhibiting the dull trait of quietism pertains to falling into the terrible pit of nothingness.
Unborn I Ching, or the Book of Transformations
In his seminal work on this ancient Chinese oracle, Inner Structure of the I Ching, Lama Govinda also refers to it as the “Book of Transformations”; he also states:
