I've long seen the I Ching as a compendium of natural principles and processes which we can live in harmony with...or not :-D A "static" hexagram says to me, "LOOK. PAY ATTENTION. CONTEMPLATE ME." Togan speaks wisely in his suggestions that we explore the nuclear hexagram...I also consider a "static" (is there a better word?) hexagram in the overall sequence (i.e., if H 37 is the I Ching's response, I consider its placement between Hs 36 and 38). I think of a hilarious moment in my own I Ching journey (it's been 26 years now)...I was having one of those "I'm sick of myself!! What am I MISSING?!" moments, so I tossed my coins in frustration, the question being, "What am I to let go of?!" -- The oracle's response: 59, Dispersion, unchanging! I fell over laughing... :-D I find that an unchanging hexagram is inviting me to look long and deeply into its meaning within the context of the question asked, and within the larger context of my whole life.

Maybe a deeper look at the hexagram can aid in deciphering the message the initial hexagram provided. Tools such as nuclear hexagram, the related hexagram of the pair, yin to yang or upper to lower movement of the trigrams could be useful.
