Book of Changes («I Ching») with octanalytic commentary

When moving from one group of eight hexagrams to the next group of eight hexagrams, the instance of the situation changes in accordance with the harmonious 07654321-hierarchy of instances of the psyche.

Thus, the sequence of 64 hexagrams according to octanalysis corresponds to the harmonious 07654321-hierarchy of instances of both a person and the situation. Therefore, the sequence of hexagrams according to octanalysis is called “harmonious sequence of hexagrams”.

This means that any transition from the previous to the next hexagram according to octanalysis is harmonious for a person. For example, a person is in a state that corresponds to hexagram #14 according to octanalysis. Then octanalysis recommends that a person make efforts to move to a state that corresponds to hexagram #15 according to octanalysis. Such a transition is harmonious for a person.

Then we study the octanalytic commentary of hexagram #49 (8) and make a decision based on this information. a 0-state of a person
