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...

Changing Lines

Line 0 [00] {NO changing lines} {Position hexagram is 43 [this hexagram is used as analogy to describe the GENERIC qualities of hex 01 moving from 'raw' to 'refined'.
