Realizing that I had passed into and through the thousand-post mark (a completely arbitrary and meaningless number, but fun nevertheless) yesterday, and finding myself in a quiet and contemplative space this morning...

I consulted the I-Ching, learning...Something

Big Grin

What was it that I learned? Therein lies the core of this little contest.

I have a five-pack of premium smokes, including at least one CC, for the first person who can tell me which hexagram I have sitting on the paper in front of me...

Bonus points for including the names and interpretations of the component trigrams.

[EDIT] To allow the largest number of people to play, this is limited to one guess per person per day.

Have fun!

Humbling? describes your situation in terms od the necessity to cut through pride and complication. It emphasizes that keeping close to fundamental things through keeping your words unpretentious is the adequate way to handle it ??? just a guess

Crazy, could you be speaking of the T'ung Jen? Fellowship with Men 9-6-9-9-9-9.

I have changed my answer for the second time now, I previously had Chi Chi-After Contemplation, and Wei Chi-Before Contemplation, but this one seems like it fits the sitaution.

All still wander, lost in the forest of possibilities...

The enlightened man still seeks for the proper response.
