But the advice isn’t just to recognise your idea is doomed and drop it; it’s to*strip it away actively and create mental space. It’s particularly important not to respond to 23 with, ‘Oh, this idea must need some tweaking to make it work…’
The shadow hexagram for 23 – Hexagram ‘Minus 23’ in the Sequence – is 42, Increase, with its Image of a noble one who ‘sees improvement, and so changes; where there is excess, she corrects it.’ Increase’s way of thinking is ‘this can be changed, this can be improved’ – and in a time of Stripping Away, that would be a trap.
As long as old ways of thinking linger, we tend to repeat ourselves. Hexagram 23 is a call to create such emptiness that the next move can*only be completely new. Perfect*tabula rasa; no precedent. In this space you might find a*true seed of change.
I disagree though that 23 is generally advice to actively strip away I think it is far more simply to accept the nature of the time. As soon as you start believing you are the one actively stripping then you aren't accepting the being stripped, you are being proactive again and so avoiding seeing what is really being stripped.
Hex 23 is on my wall at the moment - the hexagram on papyrus. It has a rabbit bone at the bottom with a fox knawing at it being watched by hunters.....and I think you are right, the stripping away is not your choice.
