 | | Only the hexagrams 1, 2, 27, 28, 29, 30, 61 and 62 are not "driven" through the numbered sequence by this alternation process (which here acts in a manner reminiscent of the effects of current alternation in the coil windings of an electric motor). |
 | | As with a surfer, a wind sailor, or a sailor on a rocking boat, if it fails to change its stance it will be destabilized, according to the I Ching, by one of 64 changing conditions through which it is forced to move in a turbulent environment. |
 | | With regard to this problem, using Figure 3 or 4, inspection will show that the continuing alternation between "global inwardness" and "local outwardness" forces every second hexagram in the numbered sequence into its opposite form (eg 3 in Figure 1 becomes 4 in Figure 2; 5 becomes 6; etc) and back again. |
