I-Ching - 1st Hexagram

Singapore time 8.44 am 23rd August 2007

The Lines:
Nine at the beginning:
a) Hidden dragon. Do not act.
b) "Hidden dragon. Do not act." For the light-giving force is still below.
Nine in the second place:
a) Dragon appearing in the field. It furthers one to see the great man.
b) "Dragon appearing in the field." Already the influence of character reaches far.
Nine in the third place:
a) All day long the superior man is creatively active. At nightfall his mind is still beset with cares. Danger. No blame.
b) "All day long the superior man is creatively active." One goes to and fro on the right path.
Nine in the fourth place:
a) Waving flight over the depths. No blame.
b) "Waving flight over the depths." Advance is not a mistake.
Nine in the fifth place:
a) Flying dragon in the heavens. It furthers one to see the great man.
b) "Flying dragon in the heavens." This shows the great man at work.
Nine at the top:
a) Arrogant dragon will have cause to repent.
b) "Arrogant dragon will have cause to repent." For what is at the full cannot last.
When all the lines are nines:
a) There appears a flight of dragons without heads. Good fortune.
b) "All the lines are nines." It is the nature of heaven not to appear as head.


The centre of power is in the 5th line. Top line is unfavourable. So king or president will be subjected to downfall. Therefore I change this line to :
Inactive dragon will have cause to prosper.
Inactive is self cultivation in meditation and eat vegetarian diet.

I combine the above with Confucianism to come out with my Cofucianism.

This hexagram also details how I am climb up the stairs to achieve authority over the world.
