Add
together the numbers from right to left e.g. 1 + 2 = 3
16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 31
Each
addition of a set of numbers is one number short of the doubled
number above.
To
work out the binary number it is a question of 0 being off 1 being
on. This too is a measure of numbers added together becoming a number
of 0 or 1 starting with the highest number and adding to it until it
adds up to the number you are looking for. Lets take an example :
Number
1 would read 1 plain and simple
Number
26 would read 16 + 8 + 2 = 28 which would read 16 on (1) 8 on (1) 4
off (0) 2 on (1) 1 off (0) which = 11010
Number
108 would read 64 + 32 + 8 + 4 = 108 which would read 64 on (1) 32 on
(1) 16 off (0) 8 on (1) 4 on (1) 2 off (0) 1 off (0) which = 1101100
When
binary the above numbers apply yet when in Nine Star Ki the ways of
expressing them change. Nine Star Ki is a combination of 2 numbers of
6 lines from which a Hexagram can be made whereas the single
expression of the number is just 3 lines but it does not form a
Hexagram.
Variations
on the theme 3 + 3 + 3 = 9 Changing Jang
four
varieties 3 + 3 + 2 = 8 Stable Jin
3 +2 + 2 = 7 Stable Jang
2 + 2 + 2 = 6 Changing Jin
6”s
and 9's are in the process of change they have no choice because they
have reached the full potential of either Jin or Jang and now need to
start to change. Changing them to 7's or 8's will make them more
stable.
69 The
symbol for Jin and Jang in the need for change
So
each of the I Ching Hexagrams is made up of two numbers or 6 lines
and thus we can work out what those combinations add up to.
1/7
Hex 47 is 3 Jin and 3 Jang lines
7/9
Hex 38 is 4 Jang and 2 Jin lines
This
pattern can continue until all 64 Hexagrams are created.
If
we look at these numbers as binary Leibnitz and Nine Star Ki I Ching
we can see differences.
Amazingly
no matter which pattern you use they are always different for all 64
I Ching Hexagrams.
Fascinating
I guess if life is stable it must change to unstable, flowing in and
out of balance and imbalance. If things don't change they stagnate
which eventually leads to death. So embrace the changes in your life
and let life flow into and out of you don't put up resistance just go
with the flow. X
