Change Your Character: Nine Hexagrams for Rebirth

• How to use the I Ching as a tool for integration
• The various phases of transformation you might encounter on this journey, and tools and teachers to help you navigate challenging passages.
• An understanding of the nature of reality and specific guidance on how to find the ‘right way’ in every situation.

Ibogaine is one of the most powerful entheogenic aka psychedelic medicines known to humans. Apart from having a powerful psychedelic effect, it is also the only plant medicine we know of today that actually interrupts opioid addiction on a physiological level in as little as a single treatment, resetting the brain neurons to a pre-addicted state without any withdrawals.

This miraculous reset then becomes a window of opportunity for the person to change directions in life. It requires discipline, courage, and a support system, and this course is one of the pillars of that support.

The I Ching is an ancient Chinese philosophy and divination system that is based upon mathematical principles found in the DNA and the binary code. It is a system designed to help you change as it points the way to what the superior action or response is in any given situation.

The I Ching was written for a time when the Way had already been lost, such as those we face today. Factors of population, politics, and polarity alienate us and put us at risk at the hands of each other. We as a species are going have to change and evolve– like it or not– in order to respond to the challenges of our time.

The I Ching is called a book of Divination, in other words to ‘divine’ the answer to a life situation rather than to employ a solely logical thought process. In order to do this, one needs an accurate map of probabilities. And that is what the I Ching provides, a map of the branching of probabilities with a matrix of possible contextual changes available to YOU, the person in question consulting the oracle.

These changes are a template for Consciousness, in all its archetypes, much as the DNA is a blueprint for Life.

Both the DNA and the I Ching are built on the same number system, a system of branching, which Jack Cross, Awake co-founder, and author of the blog series The Polemics of Jack, calls the ‘Principle of Bifurcation.’ Bifurcation is basically the way in which reality branches out into different paths of probability based on our response to our current moment in thought, word and deed.

“Thus each step attained forthwith becomes a preparation for the next. Time is no longer a hindrance but the means of making actual what is potential.” I Ching, hexagram 1, The Creative.

We alter the past by telling a different story about it. Thus a story about betrayal and jealousy might become a story about forgiveness and discernment.

We alter the present by simply being present in it, and in this course we learn tools and techniques for doing just that.

And from that presence and attention in the moment, we will map the blueprint for a different future that allows one to redeem and make good one’s life after ibogaine.

Each month there will be two lessons. At the beginning of each month we will meet online for an hour and a half class during which you will be introduced to one I Ching hexagram and its 6 satellite hexagrams. We will read through the main hexagram in class and discuss its meaning. During the rest of the month you will receive each satellite hexagram as a self-study lesson in your mailbox.

During the last week of each month we will meet again for a Breakthrough Lecture.

The FEAT program gives you access to lectures on various topics including preparation, detox, nutrition, set and setting, language, breathing, yoga, emotional alchemy, neurochemistry, mystery, history, religion and spirituality, best practices, personal accounts, micro dosing and more. The Breakthrough Lectures will be given by various mentors and masters who can be found on the Awake platform.
