Hex 44 - Coming to Meet

[timmy]

Here is another take on Hex 44 that I haven't yet come accross on here. This very different take on Hex 44 is taken from the Wilhelm-Baynes translation of “The I Ching or the Book of Changes”[/B]

The time of COMING TO MEET is important in still another way. Although as a general rule the weak should not come to meet the strong, there are times when this has great significance. When heaven and earth come to meet each other, all creatures prosper; when a prince and his official come to meet each other, the world is put in order. It is necessary for elements predestined to be joined and mutually dependent to come to meet one another halfway. But the coming together must be free of dishonest ulterior motives, otherwise harm will result.
