I decided that I'd try to do some kind of transcription/reinterpretation of the writings in the hexagrams, not to change their meaning, but more to expand the ideas with a different vocabulary and some ideas of my own.
Hi Rosada! I'm so happy you are interested in my actual work. I can try to rewrite it in spanish and publish it bit by bit, of course, but i'd like to finish some more hexagrams first, just to get going and get a sense of rythim in my work. As soon as I do this, i can start translating it to english so you can give me your insight on it.Welcome! I'm interested in reading your whole interpretation! Unfortunately I don't read Spanish but maybe you could translate it bit by bit and post it here on this thread, one line each day? That way it wouldn't be too heavy a burden on you and people would probably get more out of your work if you post it in small pieces anyway.Perseverance furthers!Rosada
No, of course i wouldn't dare to alter the original meaning of the chinese texts.
The Creative perseveres on expanding and forming the ideas (propitiate them) with his strenght.
I don't know what you are referring to, but your comment made me see including the description "idea" to The Creative could be limiting It to the mental realm (the idea realm) and The Creative is bigger than mind, bigger than the mental realm and thus bigger than an idea!
I've tried to rewrite this in a less cryptic way, which resulted in the following: "The Creative expands and forms the ideas with his strenght; it creates what corresponds to the TAO and in this work it shows itself persevering (straight and firm)"
This movement, this law that underlies it all, is the EVERYTHING, or God, or (and correct me if im wrong), the TAO (...) So, the Creative is the force that moves the Tao (...) SO! What i mean with all of this, is that the TAO is the great law that is greater and more magnificent than anything else (...)
This is mentioned nowhere in the I Ching text."Divine Will" is actually our will comprehended as divine for it mutates mind and matter constantly.
it is said that the Yi Ching is the base of all daoist (tao in spanish) doctrines. Tao originates within the I Ching, so that's something
dao

Literally
What it says: a path; what people walk. The old character shows the head of a man and
his footsteps on a road.

Ideas for interpretation
The Chinese for path is dao, as in Daodejing (Tao Te Ching) – a huge, rich concept. But dao
in the Yijing is a very simple thing: your path to walk.
Of course what i'm doing is a commentary on the i ching, the yi text is what it is. I thought that was pretty much clear before saying anything.Bingo, you got what I was getting at. I only commented on this thread because I had a feeling that Plutonian wasn't making the distinction between Yi text as it is, and commentary.

Hey Plutonian, sure, it's good to philosophise and meditate in general, if one has the luxury to do so. Just don't confuse Taoism with the I Ching. There's not much philosophy as such within the I Ching text itself - but of course it can be seen through many different lenses. Also, don't confuse philosophy with divination. You'll learn all this in time, after you've studied more. Yes Wilhelm's translation is great, actually I agree, stay with this book and study this first before you proceed to anything more advanced.No yi inspired book, only meditation on the books philosophy
