LOWER (INNER) TRIGRAMS
Consider the inner position first as it symbolizes the seeker who is confronted by some issue. This particular inner trigram classifies the seekers attitudes and intentions then provides some guidance as to what they should or might be. These yang trigrams refer to the adept's role while the yin trigrams to the masters.
CH'IEN, The Creative: The adept. the seeker's intention to influence his or her environment.
The lesser yang trigrams:
CHEN, The Arousal: The adepts intention to initiate, to begin, to create something new.
KAN, The Abyss: The adepts intention to control, seeking to change or to resist change.
KEN, The Mountain: The adepts intention to terminate, to end, to close what has existed.
Yin trigrams in the lower position.
K'UN, The Receptive: The master as he accepts influence from another source, known or unknown.
Summarized:
SUN, The Wood or Wind: Participation as the master accepts subordination to an external source.
LI, The Fire or Clarity: Perception or discrimination through which the master characterizes an influence.
TUI, The Joyous: Acceptance as the master recognizes the whole implied by the influence.
This is the inner or lower trigram positions.

My personal "Interpretive" Lens!
"One thing has always been true: That book ... or ... that person who can give me an idea or a new slant on an old idea is my friend." - Louis L'Amour
"Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider..." - Francis Bacon
"What is true today may be reevaluated as false not long after. Judgements are frequently based upon a set of "temporary" circumstances surrounding them. Conflicting ideologies can exist simultaneously. Antagonistic dualities are complementary aspects of a unified whole: are seen as mutually dependent mirror images of each other." - Nahum Stiskin

Kenpo Gokui
A person's heart is the same as Heaven and Earth while the blood circulating is similar to the Sun and Moon yet the manner of drinking and spitting is either soft or hard while a person's unbalance is the same as a weight and the body should be able to change direction at any time as the time to strike is when the opportunity presents itself and both the eyes must see all sides as the ears must listen in all directions while the mind must grasp all the tactile, olfactory and gustation data not seen on all sides and not heard in any direction
