I think that 22 is about the person accumulating
virtue - and gaining an identity -
and I remember that this relates to the 6th line
as a changing line - which means to be pure - like
white -
so my take on this is that the oracle is saying
that 24 - beginning is a time when reality can
be created if the work was done thoroughly during
the time of 22.

Your reading of hexagram 22 which changes to 24 onb line 3 means not to drink too much hootch. Then things will get better. Or don’t drink until Xmas.

Very interesting reading! In search of thoughts about it, I’ve just started an I Ching Community thread.

Recently I made this inquiry:

“How should one balance divining reality with creating reality?”

I received 22 changing to 24. Any thoughts?

No, that’s exactly the kind of thing I meant. Sometimes the number of a hexagram shows up, sometimes a configuration of trigrams that really stands out in the landscape (like a buddleia growing out of a wall - pure 53), sometimes an image from the words of the text.

Which book has Hexagram 14 as ‘Directing’?

Amazing post!!!!!! I love it.

Yesterday I went to sleep, tired after working a lot on a project. I had a dream and after read this post today I let I Ching tell me about it.

With just one changing line it was like turning on the lights on a huge unknown storehouse!

The part that tells about tigers is familiar to me too. Not about tigers, but events. It usually happens to me especially when I’m with some critical part of a project in life (work, relationship..).

A few days ago when I was driving I unconsciously started to look at the back plate numbers of some cars, with no defined interval..

Whenever I looked I read some 14. Instantly I recall hexagram 14 - Directing.
Well, I did not ask the I Ching about this day.. but the answer it gave me today about the dream just conected everything because it’s about the same project.

The project was about Directing different people’s efforts to attain an especific common goal and I feel glad that I Ching took an important part in this role.

Don’t know if my comment was a little to far from the scope.
Sorry if did happen.
