Does anyone else here read the hexagrams on their own? I feel kind of alone here reading through the (nonetheless insightful) comments...
The introduction includes a version of the yarrow stalk ritual I have seen nowhere else, and a description of the Plum Blossom method. Also a treatment of the phases of the moon in terms of yin and yang.

Hi, Bruce:I guess Charly didn't like that I liked his loafers in the earlier pictures. Sorry for being so superficial, Charly, but they were nice looking loafers. In my old business, it was always said you tell a man's character by the shoes he wears.
Men who like to wear loafers ...
He is a man who works related to finance, banking, or insurance. If your boyfriend often wear shoes of this type, it means that he hoped the serious with your relationship.

Huang Ti was able to lead an amazing life. His reign as emperor lasted a hundred years. He had a hundred wives. Eventually he became an immortal and rode off to heaven on the back of a dragon.
When the people saw him riding away, they called out for him to stay. And so, as a final gift to them, Huag Ti dropped down his shoes. A tomb said to contain the shoes still exists ...
Da Liu: T'Ai Chi Ch'Uan and Meditation
I begin my reading first without any text. When I am casting the lines, I move from one to the next, during their appearance. Line 1, which is pure earth, the 'matter' of what I can do or need to know. Yang means I will have to be active, yin - receptive. Second line, relations, but close by, simple - same. Line 3, emotions. Line 4 decisions, the mind. Line 5 again relations but more in a kind of overview, the ruler who - well - rules. Line 6, the spirit. Yang: think actively about this, explore it and so on. Or yin: stand back, find out, let things/ideas come to you instead of going towards them.
If lines are old, they get more emphasis, they are points of focus. Like AQ, I read the relating hex as the background or situation I am in. The lines of the first hex as guidelines for what I can do or should not do. My attitude (first hex) in this situation (second hex), how to make it as good as it can be. This means reading the text, but the yin or yang quality of the lines comes before any text.
I look at the trigrams and how they change. The inner as what changes in me, the outer outside, in my actions, or in what can change. Not especially as now and future, I don't enter any time-line into my reading. My cast is 'now'. The advice is only for now, and only my actions can change the future, the Yi tells me nothing about it. Tells me only about what is the best course of action. The change is also 'now', as if I carry both with me and give them both and in combination the space to develop.
In my opinion, the primary hexagram not only tells us about scattering, but also tells us about accumulation or to united. why does the sovereign approch his temple? First of all, temple is holy place which citizen worship. They are god-fearing men and come to here for one aim and one faith. So did the King Wen.The King Wen held ceremonies to worship heaven on Mount Qi every year and called together other kingdoms to worship heaven. The purpose of it is to unite them for one faith, avoiding situation of scattering. There are six lines in Hexagram 59. Every line tells us different situation of disunity and also gives us solution on how to reunite.
how can someone feel freedom without once having felt oppressed?
Hi, Ivonne:Intresting talk here
...
@charly: I`m not sure what you mean with blossom method, just have a clue. Do you mean something like this:
14. >>>>>>>>50.>>>>>>>>>56.>>>>>>>>52.>>>>>>>>>15.
-----x----->>>------x----->>>------x---->>>-----x------>>>----- -----
---- ----->>>----- ----->>>----- ----->>>----- ----->>>----- -----
-----x----->>>-----x------>>>-----x----->>>----- ----->>>----- -----
----------->>>------------>>>------------>>>------------>>>------------
-----x----->>>------x----->>>----- ----->>>----- ----->>>----- -----
-----x----->>>------ ----->>>----- ----->>>----- ----->>>----- -----
If "yes": I supposed this would be the normal way (??). I already wondered about some of you write 14. 1.2.4.6 > 15. Well, that is right, but the changes (between) are missing (???). Sorry for this horrible trial to SHOW what I mean

Hi, Bert:dear,
I think the lines present a basic language. Language cannot go without any interpretation, lest it isn't a language. Language is never without meaning, it carries meaning. We think in language, it goes with association and metaphors, every statement in language (also a line is a statement) goes with context, else a statement cannot be made at all, it would be in vain...
