27. Nourishment to 23. Splitting Apart

Changing lines

Line 1
The first line, dynamic, seems to be thus addressed: "You leave your efficacious tortoise, and look at me till your lower jaw hangs down.” There will be evil. The first line is dynamic and in his proper place. He might suffice for the nourishing of himself like a tortoise, which is said to live on air. But he is drawn out of himself by desire for the magnetic line four, his proper correlate, at whom he looks till his jaw hangs down, or, as we say, his mouth waters. Hence the auspice is bad. The symbolism takes the form of a reprimand addressed by the fourth line to the first. As Mencius said, "He who attends his smaller self becomes an inferior man, and he who attends to his greater self becomes a superior man."

Nourishment indicates good fortune through firm correctness. Make sure you know what you are feeding, and determine your proper diet.

Disintegration means that it is not advantageous to make a movement in any direction whatever.

Be mindful of what you consume and how you spend your energy, as neglecting true nourishment can lead to structural decay.
