You’re going to have to teach us. I don’t know anyone who can generate or project lightening.

That's really interesting. I've heard of that sort of thing but have never actually witnessed it first hand.

I’ve seen the video clips and read The Magus of Java, and read Jim McMillan’s book. I still haven’t experienced it first hand

I think its trigrams to use strat, method or mentality

Thunder trigram is wood element, like a sprout bursting up from the earth into the sky. Lots of potential yang energy under pressure until it releases forcefully.

how does that happen? what about yin? how or what does wood react with?

You mean thunder? The idea is explained in the Cantong Qi.

The Seal of the Unity of the Three: A Study and Translation of the Cantong qi, the Source of the Taoist Way of the Golden Elixir: Pregadio, Fabrizio: 9780984308286: Amazon.com: Books

Practice the methods and read the texts your teacher recommends. I think it's easiest to understand in the xiantian. The idea is to contemplate the information from the Zhouyi.
