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
Warning, Caveat and Note: The postings on this blog are my interpretation of readings, studies and experiences therefore errors and omissions are mine and mine alone. 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
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

Yao Lines I Ching and Karate Do
While sitting there reviewing my notes the thought suddenly flashed in my mind and here is what I see in Karate-do Yao Lines:
Line 6: Sage
Line 5: Soke
Line 4: Sensei
Line 3: Kyosei
Line 2: Sempai
Line 1: Kohai
In general the lines mean:
Line 6: Sage, ending
Line 5: Ruler
Line 4: Minister
Line 3: Noble
Line 2: Supervisor
Line 1: Worker, beginning
although this is not all but merely an initial meaning for generalization but for the purpose of this posting it will due nicely. Line one is always the start so it seems plausible to make it the line for the Kohai or beginner/junior practitioner.
The supervisor is well related to the Sempai for Sempai is relied upon to provide initial training and guidance to kohl.
Kyosei is a student teacher so this applies to the heading of a Noble who basically provides the same type of server to the Ruler, i.e. the soke or master of the style who rules the entire system.
The soke's closest ally is the minister or in this case the Sensei. Like a Ruler's minister who "administers" the system to its people the Sensei provides this to the dojo(honbu: home dojo, shibu: branch dojo) be they directly under Soke or associated to the palace of the ruler or the honbu dojo of Soke.
Make sense?
