I will say that when I read the Hex for the question I posted (and each question subsequently) I intuitively felt a very positive (in my favor) about the answer. Is this part of it? Are we part of the interpretation - or rather our deeper selves?
I posted the same ques/ans on 3 different i Ching forums
For instance - the first couple of times I used the i Ching I received 1 unchanging to my question. Then I contined to ask the same question and got different hexes. Someone responded 'why did you keep doing it? Your question was answered -
Hex 1 means supreme success' which made me think my doubt may have changed the results.
So I went back to the KISS method. When I get multiple lines, sometimes all I do is look at the name of both hexagrams, put them together and get my answer, i.e. 64 changing to 30: "It's clear that the time is not ripe yet".. or something to that extend. What matters is that I feel it clicks. It feels right.
When I get one changing line, I try to get to the most traditional translation, such as Legge. And that's all I read.
Sorry, but I have no idea what the KISS method is
Anyway, yes, it is true that there are different methods of dealing with multiple lines, but the idea of completely discarding all the changing lines simply does not work for me. All about all the information contained in the lines? There is so much beyond the hexagram main message, isn't there? It is okay to get the headline: "the time is not ripe yet" but I don't want to miss the whole story
It just works for me to get that quick, intuitive answer, and then supplement it with additional information.
