Hexagram Groups

Hi Mick,

The answer perhaps lies in the book still waiting to be read. You know...the one written by the dream interpreter on I Ching and DNA...Me thinks someone's got some reading to do...

Dharma,

The author's name is Katya Walter and your posting inspired me to e-mail her to try to get her thoughts about the Hexagram Group patterns.

I'm currently reading Katya's extraordinary book on dream interpretation, "Dream Mail" and I'll let you know how I get on with her DNA book.

Thank you,

Mick

Dharma and everyone,

Yesterday I noticed that Hx 63 & 64 are also each other's upside-down version and Yin-Yang opposite.

Same goes for Hx 11 & 12 and 17 & 18.

Bye for now,

Mick

It struck me this morning that for a hexagram to have its upside version to be the same as its Yin/Yang opposite, line 1 has to be the opposite of line 6, line 2 has to be the opposite of line 5 and line 3 has to be the opposite of line 4.

This gives 4 pairs:

11, 12

17, 18

53, 54

63, 64

As ever, not sure if this has any significance or is of any practical use but I thought I'd pass it on.

Best wishes,

Mick

Mick,

the rotation process is a common theme in the I Ching. Take the traditional binary sequence and rotate it and you get the INTERNAL sequence for hexagram 01 line changes. and so on.

There is all sorts of material here for analysis - see for example the extended commentary in http://pages.prodigy.net/lofting/lofting/000000.html

Join my ichingplus list ( http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/ichingplus ) and go through the recent archives where I have posted a lot of material on these patterns.

We are dealing with a matrix of qualities we use as a species to derive meaning. We particularise the matrix by creating specific perspectives - the I Ching is one of them.
