Ok, I will be searching out for those two Thank you!
What do you think about 50 - many talk about some spiritual transformation - others about mere cooking.
Just recently I asked whether my assumption about some situation was correct and got 50.2.3.4 to 23
- would it suggest that assumption was correct ?
I think of 50 as spiritual perception. The ding was a sacred object, and the spirits were supposed to participate in the meal. It wasn't an everyday cooking pot. Hexagrams 50 and 23 suggest that the spiritual perceptions behind your assumption were correct.

Hi, Innetruth:That is great. I had an insight but wasn't sure. It was more like a guess or feeling, some confidence in something I cannot prove. Will see how situation evolves so maybe contribute later.
Yours,Square Ding Tripod, Shang Dynasty Ding 鼎 - one of the standard vessels for food sacrifying. Although one can often read the ding is three legged, there are many examples of four legged vessels, especially in old times. This kind is called fangding 方鼎, "square ding". ...
Human faces are only very seldom seen on bronze vessels. This vessel has the inscription "大禾 Da He", probably the name of the owner. Height: 40 cm. The earliest ding vessels arise during the Erligang culture, deriving from stone age pottery. The character is a picture of the vessel.

I thought 23 was sort of negative?
Well actually I don't know what 23 is, to me the lines look like corruption at all stages. Do you think 23 has a sort of spirituality too?

In my opinion there are no negative hexagrams. Splitting apart (however you take it) is often the correct thing to do. When things open up you can see inside, which innertruth wanted to do. It's even in his/her name.
Hi, Innetruth:You nailed it. I'm a girl by the way what are symbols for 61?
The shape of this hexagram is especially evocative: that open centre, safely enclosed by strong, solid lines, seems to be a picture of something. The authors of the Commentary on the Judgement imagined they were looking down on a simple boat:
'Harvest in crossing the great river,
Riding a wooden boat, hollowed out.'
To me, this pattern has always suggested a channel. Just yesterday I found pictures at the Chinaknowledge site of an ancient jade talisman, a cong, which was a squared tube with a circular hollow running through it. The earth is symbolised by a square, heaven by a circle: the power of heaven runs through the heart of the earth. Could the people who connected this hexagram figure with 'inner truth' have had the cong in mind?
But whatever this shape brings to mind for you, it's the space at the centre (and at your centre) that creates the potential. Later theory
