rosada said:17.3
Six in the third place means:
If one clings to the strong man,
One loses the little boy.
bruce_g said:The shift from line 2 to 3 is a changing of priorities. Clinging to the child has a time and place, but so does maturing. Line 2 isn’t bad and line 3 isn’t better, but line 3 does signify a more earnest approach to matters in question.
sparhawk said:Correct, the way we are going with the memorizing, this in one more step in the ladder up the hexagram and one can see the logic behind the evolution of events. We are not consulting the Yi here, only discussing it. On the other hand, if you are consulting the Yi and obtain a 17.3 and you only have Wilhelm to pat your shoulder...

rosada said:Interesting, sparhawk, how 17.1.2.3 leads to 28, Collapse - like going out in public, first talking to this person, then to that leads to a complete melt down, whereas as you've noted with 17.2.3 leading to 43, Breakthrough, if one skips 17.1 that is, if one doesn't try to a talk to everyone, consider every opinion, then perhaps just a small survey will lead to a Breakthrough (Even if the Breakthrough is only the realization nobody knows anything for sure anyway...)
listener said:Luis, I am not a latina unfortunately, but even so I'd rub your bald head anyday.
But wait...your wife is already rubbing your shoulders. Be careful her hands don't go around your neck

listener said:Sean Connery? ahhhh, NOW there's a 17.3 . The epitome of separating the men from the boys
sparhawk said:I just realized that we are at 75 messages on this hexagram and we haven't even finished with line 3... Wow!

dobro said:Presumably 17.4 has a connection with Hex 3, but I don't see it. Does anybody?
17.4 talks about following something and catching it and how that's not a great approach right now, and how it's better to do things for the sake of truth and light. But what's that got to do with the beginnings imaged in Hex 3?
trojan said:I never quite got the idea that the followers were insincere or out for their own advantage. ... I don't think it is saying those who praise you are insincere IMO. Maybe thats a Wilhelm addition, the bit about insincere followers.
