Eldest Daughter, Lake, flows joyously downwards towards Eldest Son, Mountain, who flows calmly and firmly upwards.
Here, it feels as if the two trigrams represent the culmination of progression from their respective sibling and parent trigrams ~ from their young beginnings through their gradual maturation towards wisdom.
I was looking at it from the perspective of imagining the two trigrams as having been through the stages of youngest and middle sons and daughters.I don't understand that, what do you mean ? I don't see anything about 'gradual maturation towards wisdom' by the trigrams here.
No, those are just my own whirling thoughts jumping from one meandering to the next.Apart from the piece you have in quotation marks are you also quoting elsewhere ?
Well... usually, my thoughts aren't so clear, but occasionally, I have moments like this. They're rare enough, though...I can't tell but it doesn't sound like you.
I'd actually thought about that when reading it over, but didn't bother to change it... dunno whether to or not.How can a mountain flow 'calmly and firmly upwards' ? Mountains don't flow they are still.
Even the nuclear Hexagram, 44, Coupling, merely adds to this powerful image ~ while in 44, the woman is too powerful to be taken, here, the woman, still powerful, albeit tempered and wise, finds her place in joyous, peaceful compromise.
Compromise does not "to weaken" here, but to come halfway, as it were. To find a balancing point of harmony.I feel you imposed your own ideology/values here in a way that I can't see the reasons for. The woman in 44 doesn't become the woman in 31, if anything it would be the other way around sequence wise. The way you express it, this awful 'compromise' of the 44 woman is not something I'd go along with. Not that we can make hexagram literally about women but I dislike this whole idea of the woman in 44 getting watered down into how you describe here into some kind of dish rag. You can't take the metaphor of the woman in 44 and then say 'ah now she's a nice little compromised wifey in 31'. Well you can say it but I don't think you're right. You're implying that somehow the woman in 44 becomes a much better being and that's adding your own values in, making it very literal with no reason for doing so as far as I can see.
Nuclear hexagram
Hexagram 44, Coupling. Allowing in the influence is risky. 31 has a woman who can be taken, 44 has one who can't. It could be a difference of degree in female/sexual power. There's the power you use to integrate and create relationships, and the power that can take society apart again, undermine the whole structure. It makes and remakes.
I feel that you've so completely misunderstood the context of my post. And I feel that perhaps you've imposed your own values onto my post ~ that "compromise" is a bad thing. I really shouldn't have to step on eggshells just because someone might get offended at the use of "compromise".
This made total sense to me, as today I received 31uc in a reading about a text I wrote on passion and how other people's passions also affect me.I do think is about emotions and how they put us in motion. The image i have is of a unmovable huge rock reflected on a lake and her ripples make him dance.
for me 31u is when I "stop" the mind /rational and just feel, the visceral thinking, to sense where it leads me, what exists in my guts - pure emotions
