I started to respond earlier and you managed to say my same impression very succinctly. I agree with this.Hello;
I can't say what the fifth line means exactly but the whole reading sounds like the situation will be the way it is: leaving, returning, small shame, some good fortune, sometimes lack of trust & sometimes reuniting.
Thank you @diamant - this is a very interesting point, so: if we are asking about my work with the practitioner, here it would mean "her aims", right? Or the aims of my guy's family or the "prospective mail bride's" family?PS the additional Xiang Zhuan text of 45.5 says that the aims (of the person of authority) have not been revealed yet.
Just in case it means something to you.

I'm in the middle of a twin flame separation
So I asked: will my TF and I reunite as a result of this work I'm doing with my teacher?
Hi @Miglix21,You are welcome. And well, to do a reverse reading is actually something that came up to my mind some weeks ago, I asked for a daily reading and received hexagram 56.4.5 to 53. I began to talk with a person on Tinder and we ended up talking about Yi and I shared this reading, and, when wanting to explain him about the Yi I realized something interesting about it, and I will share it here with you:
56.4 talks about a person in a place in which he/she doesn't feel happy eventhough there is food, job and shelter, this person hasn't a happy heart.
56.5 talks about a person that searches for a job on a foreing land, and gets to know a prince/circle of friends that get him a job -and a better position-.
From the situation of line 4 to that situation of the line 5 there was some kind of progress (hex 53). That's why I said that the lines were having a conversation.
Now, let's do it backwards.
53.4 talks about a wild goose that can find a branch suitable for him/her if he/she is intelligent, a place in which life can continue even if it is surrounded by danger.
53.5 talks about a wild goose that had flown into a high plain and is isolated, but later finds his/her companions (line 6, but let's focus only on 4 and 5).
So, from that situation of line 4 and that situation of line 5 of course, there was a movement, the wild goose has travelled (hex 56) from the branch to the high plain.
To travel is to progress, if you go from England to Japan, everytime you advance in your trip you are progressing somehow -to your goal, which is reaching Japan-, and to progress at the same time means to travel, let's take an internal progress, for example, you need to go through a lot of experiences before growing as a person, and that is your travel, and, in the more literal sense, time needs to pass in order for you to have the experiences that will make you grow and to assimilate them.
In a more philosofical mood I think that what we call time is just the consequence of the universe having moved, one year ago, the earth, the sun were into another position, they have moved, time has passed, and all those experiences you have had since then have made you "progress" somehow. Two sides of the same coin, to travel is to progress, to progress is to travel.
Hope to continue this conversation tomorrow
Hey @dfreed,What is a 'twin flame separation'? I've never heard that term? I look quickly through the post, so if you explained this, I missed it. I'm assuming you're talking about some kind of relationship or romantic break-up? Also what is, or what do you mean by "before the testing phase started?" It sounds like you're trying out a new cake recipe or something?
If you're talking about getting back together with a love interest, I get this. But you're thread's title says: "working with a spiritual teacher", so I want to clarify what you're asking us or the Yi about? Are you wondering if you'll get back together with your TF, OR are you asking about your relationship with a spiritual teacher, and if so, what?
Or ... is yours a kind of 'combo' question: "will my TF and I reunite, and will this be a result of this work I'm doing with my teacher?" I get a sense this is about it, but I wanted to check.
Also what is, or what do you mean by "before the testing phase started?" It sounds like you're trying out a new cake recipe or something?
@moss elk - too true about pets, now my pet parrotlet could lead classes on Zen meditation in action: he's been studiously nibbling on the tongue of his favourite metal bell for the past hour with such deep concentration (and I kid you not, he does this for a few hours a day despite having lots of other toys inside and outside of his cage, which is always kept open) - makes me wonder if there is a secret portal to another dimension inside that bell, and nibbling is just a cover-up for the uninitiated like myselfline 5 is like being in a situation with the sorts of people who only respect the person who holds the office or wears the fez or has the degree.
It's a bit uncomfortable to be in,
if one is knowledgeable, but fez-less.
The guru may be fine, but the family dog can also teach one relaxation yoga or to be present in the moment.
Hello @strawberry_blood I am glad that my post was useful for you somehow. Thank you for the recommendation. I have also two books that I can recommend to you on Yi, both of them are available to be read online and only one can be downloaded for free.Hi @Miglix21,
Apologies for the very long time take to respond - a complex work project had turned out to be even MORE complex than anticipated, so worked flat out until handing it in and getting some rest over the weekend eventually...so now, back to our discussion
I've tried your way of interpretation and it does shed more light into the situation, it is very interesting to see how the lines really do "speak" to one another from the relating 2 hexagrams, thank you for the insight! Definitely a good angle of investigation.
I'm starting to study the Norse runes as a part of the learning process with my teacher, and it's interesting to see how they add an extra layer of meaning and insight. I'm still very much a novice with the runes, but will try to see if I can start getting clarifier casts (where needed) in runes instead of the Yi - they offer a slightly different angle and my practitioner encourages me to double-check where not sure.
Have also discovered a very interesting and clear-cut source: Practical Guide to the I Ching by Kim-Anh Lim (preview available on Google books here, if you want to take a look: https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Practical_Guide_to_the_I_Ching/IFlEbcbWK7QC?hl=en&gbcover), planning to order this one as an end-of-the-month treat together with my new rune set I've already eyed up
Let's keep in touch and I will update on the thread how the reading panned out in the end - and no doubt speak more on the other topics on the forum! Take care
