That thing that he does - the characterization of the line position according to the overall meanings of the two single-line hexagrams that relate to it, is a thing that Lofting used to do ALL the time. Where does that idea come from? Have you seen it in any of the pre-Karcher/pre-Lofting lore? Interestingly, the line description that resonated least with me was the one for line 6. Possibly one reason for this is because of the way I've studied line 6 in particular. It’s a very attractive idea, and I think it’s capable of depth and utility.
