29.6 and taking action

[Lodestar]

I asked 'what are the energies surrounding deciding to prosecute'? As in, will I regret it?
A long overdue standing up for my basic rights. Many may advise, let it go, don't go digging up the past. But the past is never over, when it is left unresolved.
29.6-59

Read an amazing thread on 29.6 here, but by the end I'd lost focus on what it could mean in terms of taking action. Initially the sixth seemed to be the line of release, of the completion of all the repeating chasms that have preceded, which would be what I'd be hoping for with taking action. But others said 6 was the line of excess, going overboard. So which is it I wonder?

This line is about bad luck that lasts for three years or a pretty long time. The reason for the bad luck is that the person is holding onto the wrong ideas or won't do the prudent thing that would release him from the briar patch. Upon getting this line, if you know where your thoughts have gone wrong, you can free yourself instantly by changing your thoughts. The past is not resolved through court action. It is resolved when we forgive even intentional wrongdoing. If you would like to research that concept more through the I Ching, read the text of hexagram 40, Solution. :bows:

 

[Lodestar]

perhaps I didn't explain how I see the intended resolution. Forgiveness happened a long time ago.
I don't mean resolving the past in terms of changing it, redress or even holding people to account.

I mean resolving the habit of not speaking out.

So speaking out now, is the resolution of not speaking out before.

Here's the thread I was reading http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/friends/showthread.php?11963-is-there-a-less-grim-idea-behind-29-6


I'm thinking..I asked what are the energies surrounding deciding to prosecute... Could it be taken taken literally? .6 would describe exactly how I have felt 'shut in between thorn hedged prison walls'

So in case it's just reflecting that back I will ask -
where is this path leading in terms of my healing?
20.3.5-52

Emmm 20 all about seeing ones own life.
As someone who has done a great deal of inner work - I think the outside world can sometimes be forgotten about, but it's there for a reason, to interact with it, to make choices, to become someone who has responded from their inner truth. I can't get a totally clear picture from this - only that perhaps this path will finally help me see myself clearly and separate my identity from past events?

I'm sorry I misunderstood your post, Lodestar. It could very well be that it is true that you currently are in the briar patch; your life is like that now. But that would be pointing to a need to forgive all over again. The fact is that when we forgive, we usually have to repeat the process many times, because we humans have a way of holding onto grudges and grievances at many layers of our being. I'm not sure that speaking out about a past event is anything more than "venting," and many people doubt the purpose behind this and whether any good is done by it. I have seen advice on more than one occasion that in airing grievances it's best to stick to the present. Don't stubbornly hold onto old hurts, Lodestar! Forgive yourself for not speaking out in the past! Let it go!

Thanks for your reply Ginnie, but I really don't subscribe to the 'forgiveness' philosophy, brought up catholic all I got taught was to forgive, forgive, forgive - but the whole holding people to account part was missing.

I just think how many social situations would remain unchanged if people forgave without taking any action.. The suffragettes could have forgiven men for not allowing them the vote and done nothing. Instead they took action to amend things, to change the world to how it should be.

Personally I don't see forgiveness as the missing link in my healing, but rather inaction, invisibility and a lack of voice.

But back to the readings 29.6-59. and 20.3.5-52. if there are any further takes in those.

Hello. I am not particularly fantastic at interpretations but just returning from a walk I felt compelled to look up shared readings. Just to see if I could help

29.6. In my experience this means that the situation has gone beyond anything you can realistically do to change it. You can forgive or you could continue with your prosecution. But in the end it is you who has to come to an understanding and be at peace. This line to me is not about who is guilty who has done wrong or judicial outcomes. It is not even about right or wrong. It is more to do with acceptance and acknowledgement Forgiveness is about reflecting inwards.

I always feel that the line is a warning that we have come to the end of a cycle. Is there any point in pursuing this... When we are feeling frustrated angry tired or stressed we become less tolerant and things bother is that we need to ignore (kick the cat syndrome).

For your reading I would say that things are now such that you need to let them be - and walk away

I looked back AT&T notes on this casting. I was going to take someone to court for some jewellery that I had lent to his sister. It was a silver charm bracelet. I had collected charms for a long time and even had a steam roller that worked and an archer with an arrow. It was beautiful this guy wanted his sister to wear it to a ball. That was fine. Why not. Apparantly she lost it. Mm. We broke up about 5 weeks later and I did not get my bracelet back. She was seen wearing it later that Summer ...

I was going to take it further - I got 29.6.

I didn't. The bracelet was important but the amount of emotional stress was too much and I doubt if given his history I would have got it back. He went to prison do 3 years on fraud charges. Poetic justice maybe.
I still think about my little bracelet 27 charms. ... It is a pity but then it is only metal and I have other things now.

I think 29.6 is to so with not going further than we need of accepting and of letting go of unnecessary anger

Thanks for your input. But I'm going to end this question here.

It was actually a very serious crime, so the charm bracelet analogy is really at the other end of the spectrum.

Thanks for your efforts but I'm going to sign out here, I don't feel my perspective is really being heard. It's just a forum and that's fine, I guess I'm the only one with the full picture..
