Overview
Below are all sixty-four line changes for this hexagram. This is
possible since this site, having analysed the I Ching in detail, works
on the following axioms:
(1) The I Ching symbolises all there is.
(2) Given (1) so all changes to the lines of a hexagram are caused by the
influence of another hexagram that serves as context.
(3) The distinction of text from context, at the trigram level as
well as the hexagram level, enables a richer understanding of this oracle,
and includes recognition of the concept of refinement where the same
hexagram/trigam can have qualitative differences depending on position. For
example, the trigram called heaven, when in a context position emphasises
perseverence whereas when in a text position so this is 'doubled' and
reflects a refinement of perserverence in the form of self-confidence and
singlemindedness.
In the following sections we analyse the result of taking the major
hexagram, here being hexagram 01 and capturing the essence of singlemindedness,
and seeing the result of it being influenced by a particular context, where
that context causes the line changes.
This process not only shows where things are going but what is influencing
the situation. This information enables (a) a better understanding of
what is going on, as well as (b) a possible path to 'block' the change.
The user has the choice of either letting things change or else fighting
the change; to fight the change means to introduce a context in opposition
to the one currently acting as influence; the required context is mentioned
in each section.
It is important to remember that ANY change is seen as a distraction from
following the path of the 'pure' hexagram. There will be conditions where
the change seems attractive and so preferred but this will take you
'off' the path in that to experience the totality of any path so you need to
experience the lows as well as the highs...the choice is yours...
