Slime Germ - AWESOME NAME! ��
What do you think they are referring to at the end of the song as being "the sweet money" @equinox;?
So maybe the Yi is saying money has degenerated into an abstraction that slips through our hands - its been adulterated. When really it should be the centre of a gift economy, a regal monarch, something which can't be taken and hoarded and married but which is meant to flow?
I think more often than not, the commentary should be taken as a metaphor; even in the case of 44th hexagram. And the way you have interpreted it, though still sexual, isn't the literal way many users see the hexagram: if they were you they probably read it as "avoid strong women" and such.I am a bit disheartened by some of the gender commentary embedded in the Iching and the discussions around it, I like to believe that men and women are not fundamentally that different and all working with similar strengths, flaws, and capacities, but hex 44 is the only one that does feel tied to my gender.
I recently started dating again and I received 44 unchanging when I asked what I should be doing in order to find a good match.
The rise of the inferior element is pictured here in the image of a bold girl who lightly surrenders herself and thus seizes power. This would not be possible if the strong and light-giving element had not in turn come halfway. The inferior thing seems so harmless and inviting that a man delights in it; it looks so small and weak that he imagines he may dally with it and come to no harm.
The inferior man rises only because the superior man does not regard him as dangerous and so lends him power. If he were resisted from the first, he could never gain influence.
