bruce_g said:That’s the thing about memorizing someone’s translation/interpretation of I Ching: it is someone else’s. The truth of it needs to become ones own truth, and I believe that only comes from personal practice, impartation and revelation. Logic, memory or text are only the highway entrance signs.

rosada said:Your post helps me understand the famous "Tao that can be named is not the real tao" edict.
rosada said:Wilhelms final entry on hexagram 1:
When all the lines are nines, it means:
There appears a flight of dragons without heads.
Good fortune.
Is this from the original I Ching or just an added thought of his?
toganm said:One way of doing this is looking for clues in other hexagrams who have the same line.

CELEBRATE!"

bradford said:THis is an important technique. I would only add "who have the same line as an important structural feature" (as in the examples you cited)
trojan said:Sorry no those quotes from Wilhelm don't help. I still have no idea why you picked out those hexes or what these 'important structural features' are. Its okay I guess I'll just live not knowing.
martin said:But Togan's statement in an earlier post about 1.1, 24.1 and 57.1 was more specific:
"All these lines have a similar meaning of it is not the time for active work."
I don't see any "not the time for active work" in 24.1 or 57.1. You?
Starting a new thread for that one will make things easier to find with the hexagram index. Else it's all going to end up in this same thread, which makes it hard to find what you're looking for.rosada said:I'm going to wait until tomorrow to take up Hexagram 2.
