Gua Poem:
Stripping. No harvest proceeding probing.
The judgment says: The mountain is attached to the earth, Stripping. The high ones make their house peaceful by generosity to the low ones.
Bo: the ideogram and the story (NEW). What does it mean for your question?
This hexagram is complementary to hex.43.
Top line: The big fruit is not eaten. The noble one acquires a sedan chair, the small man strips the hut.
When everything is destroyed, it is the end for a small mind. A great spirit
sees an opening for something new, unexpected. There is always the
untouched fruit: that faith or inspiration or creativity which brings about new life, or maybe just something to tide you over to the next phase.
Relating hexagram: hex.2
Mirror
Line 5: A string of fish. Favor through the palace
people. Nothing that does not bear fruit.
What you get is the result of what you bring into it. The first steps are crucial. Prepare carefully, find the right helpers, or rather ask those already here, physical or in your own mind. Use your resources, get rid of anything useless and make a good plan.
Relating hexagram: hex.20) Mirror
Line 4: Stripping the rest(ingplace) by superficiality. Pitfall.
Living restless, without depth or meaning, life is insignificant and one is prone to irreversible mistakes and faults, and even destruction. Search
beyond the outer skin for only there the heart's rest can be found.
(Changes to hex.35) Mirror
Line 3: Stripping it. Without fault.
To be yourself, living your own life, making your own decisions, you have to break
away from all those people (inside or outside) who tell you how to live.
Or even without saying anything, expect you to live according to their views. Even if
you choose an absurd life - so what? It is your life.

Line 2: Stripping the rest(ingplace) by discerning.
Disregard the divination: pitfall.
Use your knowledge and experience to detect when things are not right, and then get rid of them. Just letting things be may seem easier, but you have to be severe. You are the one who has to shape your life, no one else, and keeping it clean or cleaning it up is essential.
(Changes to hex.4) Mirror
Initial line: Stripping the rest(ingplace) through realism. Disregard the divination: pitfall.
Keep your eyes open for the reality of life. Dreams, expectations and love
may make it worthwhile, but when one loses sight on reality, life might
hit so hard that it may be the end of all dreams. Mind: this is about
the reality of life out there - personal ideas of logic and justice have little to
do with that.
