Is this the "right" opportunity for me?

[mirror_saw]

Good evening,

I need some other opinions about this reading please. I'm going to interview tomorrow with a mortgage broker, and I don't know about this job. Before I asked the Yi for guidance a made a list of things that are concerning me right now: I'm living on a shoe string right now, I'm tired of being broke, I'm fearful that my friends and family will judge me if I changed jobs yet again.....

so, I asked the Yi the following

"WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I DECIDE TO WORK IN THE MORTGAGE BUSINESS WITH FRANK AND HIS FRIEND?"

I received Hex# 11, 6/5th changing into Hex# 5.

Hex# 11 seems like things could be very prosperous for me in that business. I may even get out of debt? I'm a little unclear as to 6/5th with the marriage of a younger daughter?

I also think that Hex# 5 in the main is favorable, however, I don't understand how being stopped by rain is favorable?

Hi Saw,

The potential here looks very promising, but hex. 5 implies that success won't happen overnight.

This from LiSe's 11.5 - He connects the elements of life with each other and lays the foundations for prosperity and happiness.

So it appears as though you can lay foundations for future prosperity though this gig.

The way I read the marriage of sovereign's daughter is that you'll be starting at the bottom, in a somewhat humble position, but that the marriage bodes very well for the future.

Thanks white dog,

I wonder if you could help me with another question I have concerning the questioning of the Yi.

When we set to ask the Yi a question, how important is it that we kind of make a list of what is surrounding the situation as I did with my question?

Can I assume that the Yi already knows what my concerns are? Or is it of importance to get those concerns out of my head/heart and onto paper?

When asking for guidance from the Yi, does the Yi always address the "True" question we have? I was taught to ask only one question at a time, never ask "yes" and "no" questions.

Example: in my question concerning the mortgage gig, I basically want to know if I'll be successful. But I don't think that asking the Yi "Will I be successful if I take this job" will give me a clear answer.

Thanks,

Hi Saw,

Narrowing the focus of your question can be important to receiving an intelligible answer, as well as sorting out the variables surrounding your question, but it doesn't always guarantee the surgical precision we may be looking for. If writing it down helps you to focus, great! Or, if you can hold it in your mind while asking your question, that also works.

Once the process is in motion, opening your mind to receive an answer which may be somewhat outside your question is a good idea. So, yes, it is narrowing and focusing on your question, but it is also remaining open to shift the emphasis, and to being impressionable. Sometimes the question we ask isn't nearly as relative to our solution as where we're looking at it from. So it's good to open the doors to receive something unexpected, but not so much that our original question gets washed away.

Asking for predictions, such as we might expect from a crystal ball, can lead to all sorts of disillusionments. Imo, better to avoid that line of questioning altogether.

I?ll usually phrase my question with something like: What is the most beneficial way to approach (whatever it is)? Also, often I just want to see what a circumstance looks like from an objective vantage point, and so I?ll phrase it something like: What is this? Or, What does this look like? What is really going on here? And this is where Yi?s role as Teacher can have great effect on how we 'see'.

Does this click?
