At all times, the path into hexagram 24 is that of 27 - hungering. What this implies is that the change of any hexagram into 24 is forced to go through the characteristics of 27
Line 6
"A deceitful return [spiritual corruption - equivalent to no return]. Unfortunate. It possesses the seeds of disaster and ruin and attempting to complete this pretense (model/imitate - 'shih') will lead to total destruction." OR "A deceitful return. Unfortunate. Changing the ruler to the opposite position [get him to give way] is the right way ('tao') [for development]. [and thus he will lead. One's pretense/deceit is not the way]"
In hexagram 27 we recognize that nourishment is a vital part of generation, without it we die. But it does not need to have meaning, it just needs to be filling; be warned. Contextually, a degree of devotion and openness develops into a difficult beginning and one hungers for information.
