October 22, One Hundred Meetings

One Hundred Meetings, (băi huì), XIV-20 
  

     Everything is part of the whole and this is the meeting place of the unity. It is the point of balance between the posterior and anterior, the yin and the yang and the light and the dark. It is where everything can be directed from the whole and the one. Here is where all the rivers and seas can be directed and guided from the original source of all life. The grand unity for the Chinese was the number one hundred called Băi and drawn as the number one over the sun. Huì is a meeting of words brought together and is drawn as words under a roof meaning to meet or assemble.

Explanation of Point Name: According to the Classic of Difficult Issues, yang converges at the head. GV-20 is the intersection-jiaohui point of the six yang channels and the Governing Vessel. In Chinese the number 100 stands for many; thus the meeting of many channels is called “Hundred Convergences.” Further, the numerous bones of the skull all meet at this point.

 
The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science.
- Albert Einstein
