Does anyone else marvel at the beauty of the Yi's structural imagery?
All the way from:
Solid line representing male, firm..
Yielding line representing female, yielding...
To the trigrams:
-- --
-----
----- the inviting lake. let's splash in the shallows at the top.
-----
-- --
-- -- Yep, it's a mountain alright. sits there and is hard on top.
-- --
-- --
----- ouch it shocks when the firm bottom hits you.
-- --
-----
-- -- that poor man in the middle has fallen in and is drowning.
-----
-- --
----- Ever notice how a flame is hot around the edges,
but you could pass your hand through the center without harm.
...etc
To the many (all?) hexagrams that look like the subject matter,
examples: 27 hungry mouth, 44 collapsing structure. the rain of release... etc
Well, I do.
And it got me thinking...
Ever notice the visual similarities between the Kan, 29 and 62 structures?

Kan x2 makes 29.
Two firm lines flanked by two yielding lines on each side makes 62.
To me 62 looks like a supersized or amplified trigram of Kan.
Is the danger in 62 is even larger than 29?
I think it is hence the advice to fly low instead of high, as opposed to sincerity powering you through it.
