I think your initial interpretation of Youthful Folly was a very reasonable one and yet you later realized this interpretation was totally wrong.
I wonder why it is that we so often get these readings that only make sense with hindsight? I mean, if the I Ching is not just a book but a vehicle for a higher consciousness to speak through to us why doesn't it give us answers we can understand?

Hilary,
I was wondering seeing as it was really interesting to think about the nuclear hex of 12 in the other thread, do you use that with unchanging hexagrams? And to all of you what do you think about the nuclear hex in the case of an unchanging hex?

I think it speaks to our higher consciousness or higer self or inner knowing, or whatever you'd call it. It is there... we just don't use it. Speaking to our small everyday busy mind makes little sense, even though it is usually the only one we listen to....

...and I had a feeling even as I cast that 4 was going to come up

Is it possible that hexagram 4 can also have meaning of looking and searching, like for example one person is searching or looking for another one;
YOUTHFUL FOLLY has success.
It is not I who seek the young fool;
The young fool seeks me.
Perseverance furthers
something similar like hexagram 20, just in a more active, less ceremonial way...
why doesn't it give us answers we can understand?
Just curious, cjgait, what did Confucius consider a nobody, or what do you consider a nobody or someone of no account? Was he (or you) referring to social status, occupational income and family wealth, academic achievement, or poor, dishonest and unreliable character? Anything other than the latter sounds uncharacteristically Yijing as values go.
