Some while back we had discussion of what was this triple decoration the king bestowed? I had some thoughts this morning.
I like to study the sequence of the I Ching and make up a story line that connects them together. Today I was noticing that 5.6 refers to 3 guests arriving and that one should honor them. In the story I was telling myself I was thinking about
1.A seed,
2.Falling to earth,
3.Sprouting amongst the weeds and other plants.
4.The little sprout doing as best one can to develop in these circumstances.
5.Waiting and fearful of what might come before one has grown and sure enough at 5.6 3 uninvited guests, possibly dangers appear, a bee, a bird and a squirrel yet we are advised to honor them.
6. Negotiating on what they want, and getting agreement from them to wait until the plant has grown.
7.2 "The king bestows a triple decoration" Could this represent that when one is in the moment, on the battle field so to speak, the energy comes to solve all three (multiple) requests? The plant grows enough to provide flowers for the bees, a flat branch for the birds and nuts for the squirrel.
So ultimately I think 7.2 could be seen to mean that when one gets involved on site, on the ground floor the energy and insights come to solve problems and get energy flowing.
