Hexagram 64

By: James Byrd

I.The Oracle

A. Hexagram 64 is named Wei Ji, or Not Yet Fording. Variations include Before Completion and Not Yet Completed. The lower trigram is Kan: gorge or water, and the upper trigram is Li: radiance or fire.

B. The Judgment

1. Before Completion. Success.
But if the little fox, after nearly completing the crossing,
Gets his tail in the water,
2. There is nothing that would further.

C. The Image

1. Fire over water:
The image of the condition before the transition.
2. Thus the superior is careful
In the differentiation of things,
So that each finds its place.

II. My interpretation

A. "Before Completion"

This would be a time to somewhat pull back – be not overconfident to the extent of overindulging during the celebration of a hoped for, or projected, positive outcome.

For the time being no outward plan or goal is workable. Just ready yourself with inward goals, such as with meditation on positive outcomes, and other such things as Qi Gong – jogging, a not so random walk, but try not to get your head wet during your excursions at the local pub, no drinking Sir. Show restraints, for now, don’t even, go there, save it for the next big party that is now pending.

The same can be said about a rainy day; keep your trips – short if none at all – listen to statistics, something will almost, or an accident will more than likely happen on these types of days. And remember, there is always one near the end of every celebration, a rainy day, that is.

"This hexagram describes your situation in terms of being on the edge of an important change of situation. It emphasizes that waiting and accumulating energy to begin the upcoming move is the adequate way to handle it. To be in accord with the time, you are told to: not-yet ford the stream of events!"

47.mycal -- Oppression

Hexagram 47

By: James Byrd

I. The Oracle

A. Hexagram forty-seven is kun, or Confining. Variations include Oppression, Exhaustion and entangled. Its lower trigram is kan: gorge or water.

B. The Judgment

1. Oppression. Success. Perseverance.
2. The great man brings about good fortune. No blame.

3. When one has something to say,

It is not believed.

C. The Image

1. There is not water in the lake:
a) The image of Exhaustion.
b) Thus the superior man stakes his life,
On following his will.

II. My interpretation

A. "The water line."

The general story here is to not get trapped in oppressive positioning.

It has, I think, lot to do with stoicism- by Zeno of Citium in Athens around 300 BC.

. It goes like this, you can be anything, but you still have to be that reverend to appease the followings of your father's family.

That would be slotted oppression. It's not that people, unlike you can get into their automobiles and drive to the next town or location to work. Everyday.

Unlike the oppressed who are somewhat like in the story of "The Allegory of the Cave," by Plato.

They do not really know what's, what's, in terms of reality. It's all about transitional knowledge. If but there was one person in that cave would branch out and break the stigma - of change, that would be that first believer of the alternate reality. The wanderer looking for the well, that would the next hexagram the well, hexagram 48.

Do not in your mind think that someone is hopeless, by doing that while incognito, we are in fact, killing them in your mind. The rudimentary word would be doubt, it nullifies all images of loved ones and their true reaction to our misgivings or almost trues about that person, personally. Know the truth about that familiar stranger. It helps for positive encounters in the future. Yea, we know, get your undertones in order, apply valid assumption labels on others. learn more about Anti-oppressive practice.
