Hexagram 6 & Luke 10:40–42 | Conflict, Focus, and Choosing What Matters Most In this presentation, Rev. James Byrd compares Hexagram 6 — Conflict from the I Ching with Luke 10:40–42 , the story of Martha and Mary . Hexagram 6 teaches that conflict should not always be pushed to its conclusion. Wisdom may require restraint, reflection, and knowing when to step away.
