59.6 / 29.6 (again)

[Liselle]

We seem to be on a bit of a spree lately with these readings. Here's another one.

I asked about a problem, and Yi gave me 59.6 > 29:

"Dispersing blood.
Leave, go out and far away.
Not a mistake."

In the process of trying to track down / pin down how that applied to the question I'd asked, I discovered another problem I hadn't known existed. (This was an actual problem; the reading wasn't about my emotional state.) The problem was solved with one conversation. (More accurately, the conversation put a band-aid on it and stopped the immediate bleeding. There are still some things I have to try to do, which are not guaranteed to be successful, but I'll be happy with the band-aid for this instant.)

I checked with Yi to make sure that was really what the 59>29 reading had been about (it made perfect sense, but I'm easily confused/paranoid when Yi seems to have changed the subject). In answer to that, Yi gave me 45.1 > 17:

"There is truth and confidence, but no completion.
Then confusion, then gathering.
Like a call, one clasp of the hands brings laughter.
Do not worry. Going on, no mistake."

How appropriate for a problem band-aided by talking to someone for a few minutes! I'm even hoping that the as-yet-unresolved parts of this will be successfully fixed ("...no completion. [...] Going on, no mistake") - we'll see.

(Experiences like this might revive my faith in the I Ching, if I let them...uch

If it might help, I had another experience with the same reading.

A couple of years ago I got a job offer which required me leaving everything behind and move to another country. The prospect of leaving seemed so tempting, I was in the middle of a relationship crisis, I had just lost my job and I really needed the income.

I posted it in the forum right here (with my old username) http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/frie...-in-Bulgary-should-I-go-for-it-Hex-59-6-gt-29

With the help of the good people here I took the advice from the Yi to heart. I felt that leaving would maybe give me the temporary satisfaction of leaving my troubles behind while in truth I was just running away from them.

I think the idea here is that I had the 'hot blood' > the temptation to leave, but I was dispersing it by staying where I was and out of harms way.

In my case this line was about avoiding danger from far away. If I had left for the foreign job it would have been a decision made out of fear, because I was afraid of all the uncertainties in my life back then.

Looking back at my decision back then I am glad I stayed put. It's not like everything went just peachy after that, but I persevered. I found a different carreer goal, we saved our relationship (we matured enormously since then) and I learned how to hold my ground in times of crisis.

Hope this helps somehow

Nice readings and thanks for the input, Lisa and dancingfox

A comment on that.

Sometimes we do the same , don't we. When we reach to a dead-end in regards to a problem we kind of try to approach it from different angles and we might find out some other aspects. We go with the flow

Update: After a brief conversation with a couple of people today (I talked with both of them simultaneously; which was nice), the situation is completely resolved with no harm to me. It turned out that, for unknown reasons, the band-aid fix from yesterday was never actually done - the person who said she'd do this-and-that simply didn't do it - so that's almost certainly what the "confusion" and "no completion" in 45.1 were about. But the people today did it, and said if the problem ever happens again I should get in touch with them directly.

Everyone was very nice, and the encounter was about as pleasant as conversations about problems can be.

I've found Bradford's rendering of hot-bloodedness in 59.6 to sometimes be very fitting. Other times it literally was a dispersion of a bloodline/family member relationship.

I've found Bradford's rendering of hot-bloodedness in 59.6 to sometimes be very fitting.

Bradford's translation:

"Dispersing one's hot-bloodedness
Getting distance
Far away to reappear
No blame."

I hadn't read that, but I can see how it could apply. I was quite agitated in private about this discovered problem. (Fortunately, when I was talking to people to try to fix it, I managed to remain on an even keel.)

The problem itself did involve a figurative "leak," which was probably the main message of the line, but it could easily have been covering both.

I had actually come up with a couple of ways 59.6 could apply to the original question I'd asked (for which I'd actually received it...this is a bit complicated to explain, sorry). In fact, I had come up with two ways it could apply to the original question, but they were mutually exclusive. (Argh.) I started investigating things to try to pin down what was going on with the original problem vis a vis the reading, and during that process discovered the "leak" problem.

So Yi sort of changed the subject, just not in a readily identifiable way. But I went down a path on which I discovered the thing that needed attention. More of the "confusion," maybe, from 45.1, which ended in "gathering" and a good ending. I can't even remember most of what I did, since it was kind of random blind poking - look at this, look at that, look at some other thing...I did recognize the issue when I saw it, though!

...I did recognize the issue when I saw it, though!

recognize,taking in a loose way , its close to intuit. We know things, just can't retrieve or make connections, but when we see them we have this "aha moments"

It was more like the now-unearthed problem smacking me full in the face, but I do see your point. My intution could have saved me from doing the second reading (the 45.1 > 17 one), if that is what you're saying, since it was quite obvious 59.6 had been about this previously unknown issue. I didn't have to ask, "Isthiswhatyouweretalkingabout?????"

Yi was a kind oracle here, and took the opportunity to reassure me that the problem would be cleared up nicely. A better second question would have been something like, "What is best for me to do about this?" or "How best for me to be with this problem?" Yi answered those questions anyway with 45.1 ("There is truth and confidence...), in addition to the information that it would end well. "What I should do" and "how I should be" was to approach it with confidence and "do not worry" (IOW, have fu, if I understand that term correctly).

My second question wasn't really necessary. There were only one or two ways to tackle this problem, and when I say "two," they were actually variations of the same thing, not entirely different approaches.

But I really (really) appreciated the reassurance and hand-holding from Yi. I've been an anxious mess lately , so the second reading helped a lot.

Hi Lisa

I just liked the fell of the words I quoted and was kind of thinking aloud. Many times I do a follow up reading so I was not commenting on that
