The Fourfold

The Fourfold is a spiritual concept from the I Ching that describes four interconnected stages of transformation or understanding. It compares life’s processes to a growing cycle: starting with potential or possibility, moving through action or development, then experiencing change or upheaval, and finally reaching a state of stability or realization. Think of it as a natural rhythm of change—birth, growth, challenge, and renewal—that guides personal growth and decision-making. Recognizing these stages helps us understand and navigate life's ups and downs with a balanced perspective.
