The upper trigram, LI, illumination, seeks clarity above, while the lower trigram, TUI, pleasure, finds satisfaction below. There is a divergent viewpoint in the static form as the trigrams move apart. CONTRADICTION without change suggests an alienation as elements of different natures work at cross purposes to each other. You must not allow this CONTRADICTION to contaminate your purpose. Hold to your individuality, for this alone will lead you out of the stalemate.
'Fire above, lake below: Opposing.
A noble one both harmonizes and separates.'
The elements of this situation are fire and water. You can't blend them together into a compromise. But safely kept apart, they create harmony: the sun sparkles on the lake; the light of awareness shines on the inner currents of emotion. A noble one lives with opposition, simply by understanding what harmonises and what is to be held apart.
. . . or you're going hungry? Speaking from slightly gloomy experience. I find I tend to feel a bit left out with 38uc.
Maybe this just shows I need to more firmly embrace my left-outness and oddity, because I love your cheerier reading of it. I love "get weirder" and WIng's similar "hold to your individuality, for this alone will lead you out of the stalemate."
I get 38 in various forms a lot, and 38uc especially in "big" readings. In fact I got 38uc in response to the dopey question "what is my destiny?"
Another time I had a big dream, one of the most powerful dreams I've ever had, where I was taken prisoner and sort of tossed around by a dark, furiously angry god, who I had the sense was some sort of teacher. I asked "who was that?" and got 38uc. (And when I asked for the message of dream, I got 38.3.6-34.) I woke up from that dream _enormously_ charged up and galvanized--I guess that's the larger version of your happy fizz.
I think (though this is still new territory for me) that this helps in understanding the Shadow Hexagram, 27, Nourishment. If you enter into a time of Opposing in search of Nourishment, looking for an environment that will hold and sustain you, looking to become part of a single ecosystem where you’re fully provided for… you will run into that utter difference like a brick wall.
So how can you respond?
I think the idea is to keep the relationship between those different visions alive, holding them together lightly in ‘small affairs’ so the survival instincts aren’t triggered and the encounter can be a blessing. This may mean allowing yourself and other people to be different; it may mean allowing yourself to contain difference. This way, you keep the possibility of seeing from the outside.
What you can’t do is create a blend and compromise – as the component trigrams, fire and lake, testify.

Went back to view the date of this post, 3.14.2014 & gasped. I now understand how we embody the opposition - on this posted date I was only a few days into having met and fallen into Love so deeply as to realize NOW we embody this opposition and this is why we all are a #TwinFlame. So inspiring is this for me personally tonight in the midst of #earthchange we now shall consider a #seachange for us all. To grasp Love is embodying the #Opposition to feel the polarity in your being is exhilarating. Naturally it emanates from a very modern version of the timeless story of falling into Love the only life we live.I have a lot of 38uc castings by the look of it and it seems to me what they have in common is an unexpected element involving something a bit odd
but enlivening.
The 38uc advice that sticks in my mind right now is from Hilary on a CC call. I had 38uc for a general kind of question about my next step. Hilary's suggestion was "get weirder". It's very enjoyable to be told to get weirder. If 37 was about staying within one's role, fitting into systems and so on....well 38 doesn't go there.
I notice I had 38uc some years ago on first seeing an osteopath someone recommended. I thought at the time that 38uc wasn't a great auspice, that our views of the situation would be too divergent to get anywhere useful. That wasn't true at all. She is still my osteopath now and our divergence is very fruitful....if at times odd and often funny.
Seems to me like 38uc can feel much like the experience of drinking a fizzy drink, bubbles up your nose, frisson, it's enlivening and sparky and refreshing. Yes, looking back on my 38uc castings they aren't dull. Differing elements that don't naturally just merge bounce off each other like fizzy carbon in drinks. The enlivening sense around 38uc can be the source of much humour in a situation. There is the theory that (in terms of our evolution) laughter is due to a relief reaction following something not turning out quite as expected. Hence I see enjoyable weirdness as my personal core experience of 38uc, so far.
I really like the advice "get weirder" for 38uc.
What does Wing say of 38uc and is it anything like Hilary's advice ?
Ah what Wing says about holding to your individuality reminds me of another aspect of 38uc I've experienced. I recall asking for advice on a weekend away with others I wasn't going to blend seamlessly with, but with the advice of 38uc in mind it was much easier to navigate and much more enjoyable. There's no need to mesh with the values of the environment here, or to travel the same groove as others. You can still be you and it can still be enjoyable.
Quoting the Image from Hilary's book as it can be helpful in particular with unchanging castings
Other experiences of 38uc ?
Seeing differently - often feels like the other person is from another planet. They look at the same things you look at, but see something else entirely.
A paradox, 38 can be like that yes.Seeing this from the divine vs the human perspective feel like two entirely alien and irreconcilable views. Yet they both are true.
A paradox as some say Yi is one voice of God that you in a sense spoke to God about losing faith in God. With 38 it does indeed seem a good idea anyway to speak to the God you lost faith in about how you have lost faith. There's faith even in loss of faith."I lost my faith in god after the death of my father". Answer: 38uc
Yes, this question was full of hex 38. "Faith in the loss of faith" describes it well. Two contradictory states harmonizing.A paradox as some say Yi is one voice of God that you in a sense spoke to God about losing faith in God. With 38 it does indeed seem a good idea anyway to speak to the God you lost faith in about how you have lost faith. There's faith even in loss of faith.
