"The Author, it must be remembered, writes from his own standpoint!"
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


"Providing a first step on a path to self-reflection." - C. E. James

"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

The content surrounding the extracts of books, see bibliography on this blog site, are also mine and mine alone therefore errors and omissions are also mine and mine alone and therefore why I highly recommended one read, study, research and fact find the material for clarity. My effort here is self-clarity toward a fuller understanding of the subject matter. See the bibliography for information on the books.

Kenpo Gokui

The lines of the ken-po goku-i are set from an atomistic aspect simply because it is the manner in which the brain learns. Its nature is completely holistic and like the I Ching must be in a form that promotes learning and understanding so a person can see, hear and grasp the nature of a holistic system. The gokui is a method to teach us how to be holistic. Its terseness is the best that can be done to convey its holistic meaning.

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

The Roll of the Coins

When the value of the coin toss equals 9 (3 heads), the so-called OLD YANG, it is a positive line that moves (changes). It must be taken into account in the interpretation of the lines. It is designated by the symbol:



When the values of the coin tolls equals 6 (4 tails), the so called OLD YIN, it is a negative line that moves. It must be taken into account in the interpretation of the lines. It is designed by the symbol:



When the coin toss equals 7 it is YOUNG YANG, a positive line at rest and it is NOT taken into consideration when interpreting the lines. It is designated by the unbroken line symbol:



When the coin toss equals 8 it is YOUNG YIN, a negative line at rest and is NOT taken into consideration when interpreting the lines. It is designated by the broken line symbol:



Moving lines, you consider the words appended to that line as given by the Duke of Chou:

Nine in the x-th place or Six in the x-th place, etc.

Movement/change in lines, gives rise to a new hexagram, the meaning of which must be taken into account. You must look at the text and image of that new hexagram as a whole, but also the text of that line that moved.

The second hexagram text belonging to the moving line is disregarded in the new hexagram as it is interpreted in the first hexagram as required.

By movement or change a yielding line develops out of a strong line, and a strong line out of a yielding line.
