An example of this stretching might be with line 7.3. Initially the words are providing an image of corpses in a cart. This image might lead to another image forming of tea bags floating in a sea of cold tea in a grey teapot. Zooming out, creates yet another image. The tea pot can be seen nestling in the sand of a classical sun drenched desert island with a single palm tree in residence.
The image transforms and with each transformation maybe meaning has become better informed as well as the symbolism having flexed and become more vibrant. Symbolism suggested from a cart carrying corpses morphs into something more when viewed as a grey teapot on a desert island.
I am assuming that your stance on the matter is to stretch the imagery as far as you can stretch it. I loved the bright vibrant images and humour in your post.
7.3 A teabag takes a well needed vacation and takes the teapot along for protection
A picture painted by surnevs where the great prince issues the new commands and so receives the new mandate. No longer allowing the small to rule the roost. Correcting and bringing an eraser to the picture, that the small within have begun to draw. They are more than capable of sketching it out in full when left un attended and without leadership which illustrates 7.6 very vividly for me.((for good order:
I wrote some terrible nonsense here yesterday evening that I deleted because it was written in a "deamon-drunk-aggressive-stupid" state of mind. Sorry))
"We should search for the ancient wisdom between the lines and beyond the words"
Reminds me of animation : )"Worm theorists believe that a persisting object is composed of the various temporal parts that it has. It can be said that objects that persist are extended through the time dimension of the block universe much as physical objects are extended in space."
First the image, to keep the imagery expansion going visually. I take it this is the one.Have you heard of TIME WORMS? Makes me think of the nude descending a staircase painting.
Reminds me of animation : )
Perdurantism a philosophical theory of persistence and identity The debate over persistence currently involves three competing theories—one three-dimensionalist theory called "endurantism" and two four-dimensionalist theories called "perdurantism" and "exdurantism".
From my reading it seems like the picture cause a rift in the world of cubism. Apparently, cubes are meant to be stationary and not move down a stair case.....especially when they appear in an androgenous state and not appropriately attired in the latest cubist fashion.Yeah! Thats the one. He was wanting to capture the feeling of double exposure. I mention animation because he painted this in early 1900’s, and its innovation really influenced him.
My 5.6 post was a while back and my interpretation today might carry a different weighting. That's what is so interesting about people sharing their insights it all adds to a growing awareness and a softening of perspectives.However after reading this more closely with your 5.6 post; I think you’re talking more about montage and filmmaking, and less about animation/time worms I use a similar process and feel like this is the nature and core of filmmaking - a moment in a story gives the correct imagery to communicate something to an audience.
Nothing to excuse about the time worm, from my perspective. The spark of the original imagery of this thread that may have been boosted by the 5:6 <> 9 reading is alive and kicking. Part of my contemplation at the start was does the trail of the image gifted by Yi in a reading ever stop. I'm getting a sense more now that it just keeps on going.To excuse my time worm, I initially imagined this “piece” of imagery endlessly morphing into something else through time, which made me think of this windows 98 screensaver,
combined with this masaki yuasa clip, which made me think of perdurantism.
It's a nice thought, but I'm not sure that restricting someone else to holding my imaginal vision of a hexagram as an immutable origin of their readings is something I would want to do. It may not be that different from giving my version of a reading in Shared Readings, so it might be an idea to play with in 2024.I think this is a really fun question and totally valid. Have you thought of making your own iching imagery deck? It’s been a goal of mine since discovering the Yi.
I was just thinking of a standard movie montage, not totally clear on the question but I need to keep thinking about it!!I'm forming a foggy picture that this might be viewed as a restricted animation of a space in time which has been screen shot to capture a thematic interlude. Is that a montage?
I think this is a great way to describe a montage ^Part of my contemplation at the start was does the trail of the image gifted by Yi in a reading ever stop. I'm getting a sense more now that it just keeps on going.
In the long term, 5.6 doesn't disappoint as a life purpose.If it helps to add perspective… when I first met the yi 5 years ago I asked the standard “what is my purpose in life” question and got 5.6. TBH, it did feel disappointing at first, guess I thought I wanted one of the more impressive lines with gold or stars.. no pits But Id agree with this. I think the misattunement with reality is the pit, the guests are the reality checks, which would be speak with the yi? but in my experience the guests are way better than what I was imagining was going on.
And specifically for 5.6'This is the Dragon and the Ghost River. Rushing water above dissolves direction and shape, while Heaven toils below, a spark of yang born at the centre of the yin, It is water over Metal; inner concentration that confronts outer danger through careful and joyous attending on events. The ideal Realising Person reflects this by joining with others to share the sacred feast. Work through joyous words to bring spirit to expression'
