One Minute Millionaire 24.2.5 to 60.

[pagan]

I am half way through the book ONE MINUTE MILLIONAIRE and I decided to do their method to become a millionaire. I asked the IChing if I could make this really happen like it does in the book. The answer I got from the Sage was hexagram 24 with lines 2 and 5 changing. That turns into hexagram 60. I read this as approval from the sage to take the risk and commit to the process.

It is actually a relief to me to be able to dream that big.

Hi Pagan, I hope you do not mind I have a second thought. Caution is the main theme here. There is a potential big success if you are prepared to take the challenges ahead. And if you are ill-prepared for the potential setbacks and challenges, things may turn the other way round.

I love how Karcher talks about hexagram 60 as putting everything into increments and articulating things. From all my studies on people getting rich, this is how they do it. They set goals every day and strive to meet them. I think that achieving great wealth is all about focus. Some people are more thrilled about it than others, and the ones with passion are the ones who seem to reach the top. I think it will be fun to just do the program as they lay it out and have faith in it. From what I read so far, it is grounded on very good principles, so why wouldn't it work? I just never wanted money too much in the past, but now I have a reason to want a huge pile of money. So, what is there to lose? Any success is wonderful!

But one thing I have noticed in the past, hexagram 14 almost never points to money wealth for me. It is usually more of Carol Anthony's AHA experience "now you know" kind of thing.

 

[martin]

Yes, focus. And interest, passion. It's a passion that I apparently don't have. I have been very rich and very poor, zigzag, but I never really cared. At the moment, although I'm not (yet..) bankrupt, it's going down again because I have health problems and cannot work anymore, maybe never. But as long as it's not too bad I don't mind.

Still, I do have a dream, I want to move to Greece. And I cannot do that without money.
So, how does your method work?

 

[jeanystar]

Did the yi give you hex 14 in regards to this idea, pagan? I have always thought of hex 14 as the auspice for material wealth/possession as opposed to, for instance, 42.. being an increase of "spiritual" essence. But you are right, 14 can denote a Great Possession of truth, perhaps the right ideas, the right time, and/or the right mindset.
you might want to google Wallace Wattles, a man who studied and proved for himself the science of becoming wealthy.
best of luck to you in this.

Hi Pagan, when only line 2 and line 5 change simultaneouly in one reading, it signifies a real change both in the hidden world of psychology and in the outside world of ACTIONs and behavior.

There will involve a lot of sacrifices in this process. If you are prepared, and only when you are fully aware of the sacrifices and challenges ahead, go for it! As you point out, success come from every small steps you take everyday, with persistent. Good luck!

 

[hilary]

Hexagram 24: being personally 'back on track', and knowing this, being without anxiety or haste. I think your approach as you describe it is pure 24. (I don't know about the book's authors, though. What's with the 'one minute' part?)

And Articulating - the importance, perhaps, of a contract with yourself? Setting out in words what you're doing and why, and ensuring this all tastes good to you? If you have a gut reaction against it, any of it - some ingrained sense that rich people are nasty, for instance - then you won't be able to stick with it.

With lines 2 and 5 changing the active pattern, what Chris might call the pure archetype seeking expression (though I dare say I'm using his language wrongly) is 29, Repeating Chasm. As a challenge it has to do with whole-hearted commitment and taking the plunge into the unknown.

Have fun!

 

[lightofdarkness]

Hilary, line *positions* 2 and 5 are controlled by hexagram 29. To derive the 29-ness of a hexagram you XOR that hexagram with 29:

000001 (24)
010010 (29)
--------
010011 -> 60

Thus the 29-ness of 24 is described by hexagram 60. What this asks is "How does 24 assert containment/control (the properties of 29)" and the answer is 60 - through imposition of limits, standardisations.

Does this relate to line CHANGES? we will have to try it and see. All we have at the moment is the 'genetic code' of hexagrams derived from understanding how the brain extracts parts from a whole - We use the XOR operator to get details on STRUCTURE - the IS-ness of hexagrams.

The traditional focus on changing lines is more AND oriented in a focus on A changing into B over time - as a sequence.

When you toss coins etc so you get changing lines, not changed lines. The assumption is the lines will transform, BUT there is also the fact that to express a dodecagram at the level of hexagrams requires FOUR values for each line of that hexagram. Thus what is as 'changing line' hexagram can be in fact the expression of a 'fixed' dodecagram!

As another example, hexagram 27 covers the skeletal form of any hexagram, the architecture in need of 'filling' - in 27 the focus is on quality control where the 'hungering' comes with a warning about being careful what you take in.

XOR 27 with ANY hexagram and you will get the 27-ness of that hexagram; the basic 'mud' or infrastructure from which the hexagram has developed - if we XOR 27 with 01 we get 28 - excess, too much 'yang'.

For the 27-ness of 24 we get 23 - the basic architecture of 24 is described by 23 with its focus on pruning, housekeeping - reflecting 24s path to return to the 'true' path, avoid distractions etc (commented on in the changing line comments)

I have mapped all of this out for all hexagrams through the links to the hexagrams off the table at the bottom of:

Basic comments on line positions are in:

http://www.iimetro.com.au/~lofting/myweb/linemean.html

The below is 'short/vague' but still usable - for hex 24 we have the genetic code of:

Hi everyone,
The one minute millionaire is a brainstorm collaberation between Chicken Soup for the Soul author Mark Victor Hanson, and Creating Wealth author Robert Allen. Their goal is to create a million enlightened millionaires. You follow the steps they outline, which relies heavily on using one's intuition and making use of a cosmic 'infinite network'(networking with God, in other words).

Interesting stuff.

" To derive the 29-ness of a hexagram you XOR that hexagram with 29:

000001 (24)
010010 (29)
--------
010011 -> 60 "

Chris, I'm certainly no expert on your material, but shouldn't that be

100000 (24)

So, didn't you just apply your method to Hex 23 instead, to get 60?

Just thought I'd let you know...

- Jeff

 

[lightofdarkness]

!LOL - as luck would have it reading from top to bottom is works in this context! ;-)

Sorry, due to a programming 'requirment' the orderings of the file names in my website is top to bottom but I should have used bottom to top here - So --- yes, it should be:

100000 (24)
010010 (29)
------
110010 (60)

(and so the *filename* for 24 is:

thanks,

chris.

"Pagan" (or should I say "Robin of Sherwood" afficianado?),
Why would a pagan want to be a millionaire? Are you not satisfied with the wind, sun and the rain? Are you not a true participant in the seasonal sabbats?
Or are you just one of those shallow wannabes hiding behind colourful baubles, home-bought runes, incense cones and figurines of gandalf?
Find yourself or find nothing

That's really interesting, Chris. I think it's great how people can bring in such a diversity of perspectives on this board.

By the way, I parsed out that XORing the line text means: "The lines that are different become Yang, and the lines that are the same become Yin".

And Pagan, I do hope you become terribly well to do and terribly powerful.

The world needs more nice smart people, pagan or otherwise, who care about the earth who have the heart and generosity to contribute something interesting and meaningful, who also have some financial swat.

XOR means if X is 1 and Y is 0, the result is 1. If X is 0 and Y is 1, the result is 1. Any other combination (0,0 or 1,1) the result is 0.

Do this vertically, bottom-up:

X - Y - X XOR Y
1 - 1 - 0
1 - 0 - 1
1 - 0 - 1
0 - 0 - 0
0 - 1 - 1
1 - 1 - 0

X = hex 25 applied to Y = hex 41, XORY = hex 47

IOW the 25-ness of 41 is described by analogy to the characteristics of hex 47.

The XOR brings out the PARTS where each hexagram is 'built' from all of the others. The recursion of yin/yang does this as the method of recursion encoded the whole in each part.

Chris.
