‘Above the mountain is fire: Travelling.
A noble one is clear and thoughtful in administering punishments, and doesn’t draw out legal proceedings.’
‘In the centre of the lake there is fire. Radical Change.
A noble one calculates the heavenly signs and clarifies the seasons.’
‘Stilling your back,
Not grasping your self.
Moving in your rooms,
Not seeing your people.
Not a mistake.’
(I’ve drawn the hexagrams rotated through 90 degrees so you can easily see both hexagrams of each pair, reading right-to-left as well as left-to-right.)
Trojina is correct. Like your Sequence book, I think it would reward li-ing through carefully with pencil and paper (or their electronic equivalents).This blog is very hard to understand, it would take more brain power than is available
)22 is the surface image of 21 (but does it do that most effectively by illuminating from below/inside??)
I can't make sense of my own questions without starting from scratch.
Thank you for the @ . You're right, I didn't see this. Auto-forum-posted blog posts do not automatically subscribe me to the thread: I have to remember to visit forum after a while, find thread and click 'watch'. That's exactly as reliable as you'd expect it to be.maybe @hilary didn't see this or maybe she's too busy ?
They always struck me as a big occasion, one way and another. They're 'The Marriages', with some beautiful imagery and also that reference to the Zhou/Shang marriage that makes everything else possible. And structurally they're one of the 'Entangled Pairs' - both complementary and inverse. So this is the kind of place that seems as though it ought to be the centre of something.What made you think to put 53/54 at the center of anything?
Exactly that. It becomes a habit to look at a potential centre and start drawing rings round it, as it were, to see if any patterns show up.then did you go back to 49/50 in order to make a decade, and did you do that because decades are generally important in the Sequence
I like your colour-coding as is, though I see what you mean.A noble one is clear and thoughtful in administering punishments, and does not draw out legal proceedings. (56)
A noble one brings light to the many standards, but does not venture to pass judgement. (22)
[Re-reading before posting...could the color-coding just as well be done cross-wise? I mean, I think there are parallels there, but what's parallel to what ]
Your guesses are at least as good as mine - for some reason I find it very hard to wrap my head round exactly what happens to meanings when trigrams swap places.More guess-y "quiz answers":
- they're similar in that they're both a little temporary? 22 is the surface image of 21 (but does it do that most effectively by illuminating from below/inside??); 56 by definition is moving along
- difference: 56 administers punishments quickly for the reasons you gave, but 22 doesn't pass judgement because that's its Pair's job, 21?
- also, is 56 carrying out what its Pair 55 decided on? (55: "A noble one decides legal proceedings and brings about punishment," vs. 56's "administering"?)
