There have been some very interesting comments to my ‘Christmas I Ching’ post, and I just added some more that arrived by email.
Connecting the Maslow hierarchy of needs to the line positions is an interesting idea – I had a faint inkling of it years ago, in connection with Hexagram 18, line 6 – having no business with kings and lords, your business is to honour what is highest. That certainly sounds like the upper levels of Maslow’s pyramid. It might be fun to explore further… There’s clearly some degree of correlation, though it seems more natural to think of line 2 as ‘belonging’ and line 3 as ‘security’ (or the lack of it).
Anyway, just thought I would add a link here to ensure you didn’t miss the new additions.
