Certainly like 28.6 in the sense of "All In."
: The "heart" was certainly a part of my 10.5 experience. Only I do not think that it is implicit in the line that the querent will be mauled. There is only the potential, hence "danger." I wouldn't say "if you are going to be mauled for the sake of something." I would say "take great care to avoid being mauled." Consider the dangers. Or you could change "going to get mauled" to "risk being mauled" --- which I would recommend as an edit on your post.So I think when your heart is in it, when you will get mauled for the sake of something...then sure go ahead. If you are going to get mauled for the sake of a smaller goal then think twice.
The parallel nuclear progression (37,6 - 63) reflects a parallel process. Gentle control of ego/idea, Sun above Li, the central process within any family, reinforces the need for internal self-control - "that one makes demands first of all upon oneself" (top yin) - leading to settled completion.
If they think too much of themselves, and tread too far too fast on little more than presumptions, they will merit no safety and the game falls apart.

Peter's comments in post # 7 above are excellent council for avoiding difficulties in a 10.5 situation
"You are just about ready to do your next and best act."
"Commitment will need to be absolute, but the greatest determination will not be the determing part of success. To speak to your sovereign firmly and clearly, to say what you want, with neither false pride nor false modesty will leave no more room in your mind for what does not belong here."

This is a correct path of quiet certainty in which you must maintain a balanced awareness of possible difficulties without being overwhelmed by them. Good luck and best wishes. Peter
I would tell someone who is facing a 10.5 situation to NOT GIVE UP and to practice gratitude instead of complaining about difficulties that arise. I was given an 11th hour opportunity 7 months into the experience that would have likely turned my life around for the better had I been ready to commit to it. But instead I have fallen into quite an abyss.
'Not like limiting means it will be like lamenting.
Not a mistake.'
On the one hand, this is a straightforward warning: set limits, or regret it. On the other hand – not a mistake! Why not?
60 zhi Hexagram 5, Articulating Waiting. So this is about waiting, expecting, needing, preparing having faith. If you don’t articulate and limit these desires, then surely there’ll be lamenting. Maybe because your expectations were unrealistic, maybe just because they weren’t clear enough, and you didn’t really know what you wanted. But you’ve had an opportunity to experience the full extent of your needing, expecting, waiting and hoping; that’s not a mistake, and nor is lamenting it.
(When you Wait for something, you expect and prepare for and attend to it single-mindedly. You certainly don't enter into a down-to-earth negotiation with people or circumstances about what's realistically possible and likely. So you lament, but at least you waited faithfully.)
Decisiveness could often mean to NOT to engage right then and there but to commit to a longer process…
Resonates a lot. Time is relative, of course, and long or short depends on the context, yet , the key words is , imo, “ to commit” and that commitment gives a sense of freedom, in lack of other better words because you put first the long term goal not the specific action or no action of “today”. It is both determination and flexibility.
I’m not done with that matter;due to other circumstances have put it aside for a while. yet, I feel, that commitment works in a subterranean level. When you find your self that the only way is to go through the jungle apprehension emerges and a “rush” to pass through this quickly – run faster than the tiger. What I got from 10.5 and other readings ( I had a few ) was that there is no need to rush and that just the personal commitment gives you something to hold onto when the times are not that easy.
I suppose ultimately, this commitment to change in some way can usually only come from reaching a point where you've had enough suffering. We need to maintain the faith, trust and sincerity of intent that often follows such a personal declaration. Without those attributes it remains a hard path because you generally (often unconsciously) self-sabotage in order to return things to normal via a short-cut, of which there are many.
And around we go again on that wheel...
...Going back to experiences with 10.5, My own experience with 10.5, and what I have observed of others is that you need to assess whether it's worth tackling this tiger or not.
Surely a lot of thought is required before taking on a tiger. To repeat, your heart must be in it 100 %.
Had I given in I think I could have given the Tiger a back rub and even tickled his whiskers and got away with it but the end result wouldn't have been worth the trouble. And I would have had a Tiger none too pleased about an end to his back rubs... : )
Decisiveness could often mean to NOT engage right then and there but to commit to a longer process where the danger's still present but you've made a 49.5 transformation so that you have the ability and awareness - whether in business, relationships or whatever - to respectfully tread in his kingdom without fear of a claw hooking your backside and tearing off a strip, usually when you least expect it
