The phenomenon is called Pareidolia.
The phenomenon is called pareidolia by some. Unfortunately pareidolia is a loaded term with a negative value judgment. "Pattern recognition" and "gestalt" are more neutral terms.
And sometimes seeing too much order where none is there can be called paranoia.
Write out all the sequences possible with the 64 hexagrams and explain why each one is valid. How many would there be? 32 x 31 = 992?
What hexagram line reminds us of grains of sand and is useful to think about while Waiting?
What would 32! be?
is there some significance to why you can't stay focused once you reach a certain line?
The I Ching certainly does seem to resonate with emotionally focused questions. But to understand and decipher its meaning, we need some understanding of its symbolism...our perception and decision would then be based on intuition and logic...an eclipse of the left and right brain?
I'll try to explain in as few words as possible LOL!
When we ask an emotionally based question, seeking the truth in a situation, we experience a release of energies as well as our own limitations and perceptions. New powers are then awakened, raising the forces of body up when then merge with higher creative powers allowing a whole new current to sweep through the entire body.
The human brain has a quite a resemblance to a human, androgynous embryo. The pituitary gland holds the positive, masculine charge and the pineal holds a negative, feminine charge. When these masculine and feminine energies meet in the brain they form an Eclipse or in another term, Mystical Marriage. This eclipse initiates the birth of our multi faceted consciousness and our conscious passage into the superconsciousness and beyond.
The Pineal Gland when stimulated stands upright, allowing the brain to blend with the higher intelligence in man.
The rising Kundalini pulls the energy up from Mother Earth through the nerve channels, into the medulla oblongata, through the pons area of the brain and then down into the pituitary gland behind the eyes. The increasing pituitary radiations then pass through the third ventricle to awaken the pineal gland which has received light from the higher dimensions. The feminine earth energy merges with the masculine pituitary gland and the feminine pineal gland receives the masculine unmanifest energy from Spirit. When the two awakened chakras’ essences meet in the third ventricle, there is the union and harmony of spirit into matter as the multidimensional forces of spiritual light merge with the matter of our third dimensional brain.
When we look at the yin yang symbol, it looks separate and motionless. In reality, these two symbols are constantly spinning. When we actually intertwine them and amplify them, they spin so quickly the image of the yin yang symbol seems to have disappeared.
Does that answer your question?

Does that answer your question?
Reason/Intuition and the friendly fire battle. Is this what 2.6 refers to?
According to Grey's Anatomy, your brain controls and coordinates all function in the body. When functioning normally, the cerebellum, which is the back bottom part of your cranium, sends messages or "fires" to the brains right and left hemisphere which in turn "fires" to the brain stem (mesencephalon, pons and medulla). We refer to this as your "Brain Loop".

All of your post is really interesting but there seems to be an awful lot of supposition in there. In other words, I probably agree with most of the above at an intuitive level but I can't claim that this is what REALLY happens. I don't know. Do you know that these processes happen for certain or is it just the relaying of esoteric theory of what we think MAY or COULD happen? I guess I'm always a bit uncomfortable with what appear to be absolutes in a realm that is so subjective and without any way of knowing for sure. For example, have you experienced the symptoms of the process you've alluded to and then attached possibilities to that end? Or is it a "known" for you and others you know?

sooo said:What I didn't, and still don't understand is how one eclipses the other. I perceive to be more of a communication and interaction, and I don't see how one covers or obscures the other - except for one idea, that whatever shows, or is active, temporarily obscures its opposite. I wondered if that's what you meant by eclipse.
What's The Deal With The Mesensephalon?
The mesencephalon (a.k.a. upper brain stem, a.k.a. midbrain, a.k.a. cerebral peduncle) normally is inhibited by the brain. In other words, when the “brain loop” is intact, the mesencephalon is turned off (or on low).
However, once stress interrupts the “brain loop”, the mesencephalon is left unchecked. Basically, the brain gets stuck in a sympathetic (fight or flight) response.
A mesencephalon that is not firing properly causes symptoms such as fibromyalgia, ADD, sciatica, etc.
In a way yes.....but doesn't obscure...the left brain, right brain, work as ONE.
Hi topal,
The pituitary and pineal glands are an absolute. Here are a couple of sites to look at...

And yes, when I have asked an emotionally based question and the I Ching, Tarot, Sabian Symbols release an answer that is felt intuitively correct, I have felt that rush, I have felt all limitations and perceptions just vaporize in mid-year. And I also know I'm not the only one that has felt this.....many people I've spoken to and know have gone through it.
In my recent efforts to memorize the IMAGES as translated by Wilhelm I have been becoming more aware of the sequence and the story it appears to tell. However, I understand the standard sequence we all use is not the only one considered valid. Can anyone give me a little background on why we use the sequence we do and any thoughts on alternative patterns?
The unexpected is to be expected.
my apologies for interrupting
"if my keabord permitted hexagrams to type..." like this?
