Major difference between 25.1 and 25.6?

[sooo]

I haven't been inquiring of the Yi about my condition or such because I want to go through it naturally (ha). There's a few troubling pains, swollen glands, which could indicate infection, etc, etc, or I could just blow if off, hope for the best and keep on going.

Finally I just asked, what condition am I now in? I'm not joking: 45.1 and 6 - 25

This ones pretty easy to read, I believe. I'm getting it together, must remain positive and reach out to the available help, as planned, but line 6 says there's a lot of natural discomforts, concerns for the future (as discussed), present relationships, living restrictions, etc, etc.

And, in all of this, not to lose my natural way or the natural way. Continue in what is natural, survive with joy. I also view calling out as employing ones faith consistently, not on and off again. That's where the 45.6 mood can bring you down if you let it. Yet it's important to experience it, so it's not as though it should be avoided. No blame. Couldn't even if I tried.

Is that wild or what?

 

[Trojina]

Yes....this is wild !


if the holding together, 45, jumped through the hoop of chance, 25 it now, on the other side of the procedure, is the natural naked wildness of 25 jumping through the cradling holding together hoop of 45.

what are you gonna be getting up to Bruce !

Actually am not too keen on the 'hoping for the best ' strategy since it's not long you had 25.6. ....and then 45.6 I mean if you are even slightly concerned about infection you need to call the hospital for advice don't you ?

This ones pretty easy to read, I believe. I'm getting it together, must remain positive and reach out to the available help, as planned

I'm assuming here you mean the hospital have offered a back up aftercare route if you need it ? Remain positive but if worried don't hesitate to call on that help. Heh 45.1.6

Did they say you might expect swollen glands as a reaction ? I am guessing maybe it's likely around the armpit since the whole area has been disturbed ..


I wonder if the 25 is a bit of a flare up, a reaction, like swelling and the 45.1.6 is basically around needing to seek reassurance all is as it should be. I guess you may be able to do that by phone if worried ?

 

[sooo]

Just woke so not all here yet.

I mean throat glands. Infections and rejection of foreign materials is a risk in any surgery of this type, and I had to sign off that I understood that. It was in the written material as well, and the surgeon himself briefly mentioned the risks. Plus it doesn't have to mean a winning infection, but that the body will rebel against foreign invasions. That's a completely natural bodily response to being cut open, implanting a small computer under your skin, and running two wire leads to your heart and screwing them into the appropriate locations. Mine has two leads. Plus head and neck pain from wearing the sling, general discomfort and pains. It's all natural responses toward what initially is completely unnatural to it.

I'm to call his office for an appointment with his assistant, who will probably change bandage and go over these matters. I've been told the first few days I'd feel like I was run over by a truck. By blow it off I only mean temporarily until Monday morning, when I call for that follow up, not ignore it forever. Just not let it discourage me now nor worry me, and keep on going, is what I meant. That fits how I interpret this reading too. 45 has always been my "get it together" hexagram; so, it's perfectly natural to feel these things while initially getting it together. Even bp running higher than usual is normal, after the heart being disrupted as it's been. The bp readings have been pretty good though, and pulse has been running a strong and steady 60 bpm or a little higher, which is where it's supposed to be. And while feeling some exhaustion from the ordeal, it's not that wiped out, helpless kind, that the old 32 bpm made me feel like. I feel twice as alive, literally. So I'm going with the positive and will deal with the rest when it's time to.

 

[sooo]

I thought this was cool. When the surgeon came to introduce himself and explain, again, the procedure, he then produced several different units, and he asked me to choose which I wanted, which was pretty obvious, being smallest, rounded, and as most are now, programmable. I think they can program without further invasion to the body, just a few probes on the skin.

Must be a fascinating field, for those who have the smarts and other skills for it. My impression of the man: impeccable. I felt he imparted something to me, beside a pacemaker. Maybe I picked up his own strength and clarity of purpose, if only during the time he operated. I heard his soul speak, and his soul was his work, and his work was I. A talk before I left left the same impression.

Back to what Tom had mentioned, about being Afghan, his 'white' associate's assistant said that her own father refused to allow "a foreigner" to operate on him, and she said it upset her, but that now she understands. So there must have been a strong emotional reason, because, though he's not my same original nationality, he's impeccable, and I respect that in my heart surgeon. I want to increase that seed somehow, in me.

 

[sooo]

Thanks for the good hit of some tasty Hendrix! A Classic. He was downing acid like candy before that show, and said he was peaking during the performance, so he was somewhere else. It always amazed me how his young British drummer and bass player could keep up with and support his wild thing. Those two made his magic come alive. Never did receive due credit, imo. Part of why the bass player left. Ah, nostalgia.

 

[Trojina]

that's good

He was downing acid like candy before that show, and said he was peaking during the performance, so he was somewhere else.

yes hadn't seen that before....being a tad too young to be fully aware of Hendrix, but he really grabbed me in that clip....something sublime is in his performance. Yes he had to be on something.....but he touches the sublime nonetheless...because of the acid or because of the mix of the acid and his soul, doesn't matter....he pulls it through, pulls it down out of heaven....or up out of earth

 

[sooo]

It's unfortunate but true that the expansive music and burgeoning LP market was enlarge fueled by psychedelic drug use. Mixed in there was all the other stuff too, but weed and acid/mescaline/mushrooms - hallucinogenics - shaped new music of the 60's. Hendrix, Cream, Joplin, Airplane, the Who, Stones and the Beatles all road that train. But it had different stops, and passengers got off at each stop, and then the dream ended.

As a still new guitar tinkerer, The Hendrix Experience blew me away. A guitar playing friend and I would try to jam on his songs, but you need chops and style to cop anything remotely close in spirit to Hendrix. Before he went on his own, he was backing big name R&B singers, but he stood out too much, just playing backup. That's charisma and attitude.

Only grudge I had with Hendrix was, he was born with fingers three times longer than mine.

Raw something. Elemental.....I mean elemental as of the elements (not as in 'easy'), playing the guitar as if becoming a force of nature....'the wind...screams...Mary'.


Just read Keith Richards of Rolling Stones autobiography and he too laments his fingers just aren't long enough to do what Hendrix does.

 

[sooo]

Finger envy. It's true, it's true!

He earned his chance in the spotlight. People in the states didn't get him, labels wouldn't sign him. So he goes to Merry England, where he found the two boys who played bass and drums to back him. Most of the time, he had the bass play the same guitar riffs with him, which gave each note that powerful sound and feel. Like the intro to 'let me stand next to your fire', that was a key element in all early Hendrix. And knowing how to freak out around a key signature and time signature, going everywhere outside the lines, the gates and walls and doors, where rules are where you place them, and morphing, kinda like the book of changes, is the very nature of the sounds he'd make.

I can't say I've met him, but I did attend a session at his studio, electric ladyland. Could feel his vibe. It was after he died. Lennon was producing the session. Then he died. I ask, why did they die so young, and I'm still here, doing nothing? Can't understand some things. Maybe you get so much chi per life, and you use it at your own pace. If you don't have enough pace, get a pacemaker. <~~~~~x===x- I've been informed the Sir Elton and Slash are both wearing one. It's very chic you know.

 

[Trojina]

Then he died. I ask, why did they die so young, and I'm still here, doing nothing?

I think a lot of it came down to inexperience around drugs and mental health. Like for some reason I'm reading all the stuff, biographies around the Stones. And through these books I get an inkling of why some of them died and some didn't. Loved Marianne Faithful's book because she became aware as a junkie she was becoming the doomed figure she felt destined to become....but she didn't die...but Brian Jones did. Brian Jones of Rolling Stones would apparently these days be considered far too mentally fragile to mess with acid and other drugs, he just wasn't strong enough. Then I read about Mick Jagger, he was always in control, he did some drugs but they never did him...he was already a grounded person.

Keith Richards of course looks like he shouldn't even be alive....he worked prolifically all through heroin addictions and detoxes, back and forth.....he said something about how he felt the heat of the work he did protected his system from collapsing. I can hear it in how he writes, I have the sense of this massive heat, like white heat the music making made through him and his body was strong enough to take it all.

But back to this

Then he died. I ask, why did they die so young, and I'm still here, doing nothing? Can't understand some things.

You don't know if you are doing nothing...I was reading a book yesterday saying we can't have much idea about the work we are always doing...we don't see it, we don't see living as work but it is. You aren't doing nothing......you're vibrating energy into the cosmos..and beyond...what more can anyone do ?

 

[Trojina]

Of course Keith Richards is no longer considered cool.....he doesn't have a pace maker.

 

[sooo]

His arthritic fingers are painful to look at. It's amazing he can still play at all.

 

[sooo]

Keef will always be cool, even long after he's gone. His playing days look as though they're almost at an end, however.

At 68, his fingers swollen and gnarled, he admits he can't remember the band's songs. After a lifetime of excess... Will Keith's growing frailty stop the Stones rolling?

 

[Trojina]

Ah you can't trust that paper....



Incidentally perhaps you could set me straight on this idea I have that you wrote this song and never got the credit/royalties for it


[video=youtube;3oByMiF4hPg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oByMiF4hPg&feature=player_detailpage#t=16[/video]


Did I totally imagine this ?

 

[sooo]

I wrote, performed and recorded (for Mercury as a demo for them) a song called 'on and on'. which shared a similar refrain to it as the hook. It was a few months later, Bishop released his song, big time. It was not duplicate of mine, but the emphasis on the same refrain, even conveying the same message and sentiment, well, I couldn't help but wonder. All my recorded stuff was in circulation and out of my hands entirely. It was there for the pickins. I didn't really care, I had an entirely new interests by then.

80's, lot of one hit wonders. Some excellent musicianship. Even though I was on the down with disco wagon, there was some great musicianship behind some of those songs and records. Christopher Cross was another. That was the genre the industry would have stuffed me into. Too, I dunno... tame, clean, sweet. Lot of my old stuff was like that already, and I was more interested in Neil Young type grit. Unfortunately, my voice was never gritty, even if my attitude could be.

 

[sooo]

Btw, got a thumbs up at the follow-up appointment this morning.

 

[rosada]

You were talking earlier about Life Purpose and it occurs to me that your having an Afgani doctor and living to tell about it, to witness for the fact that we can trust our brothers and not be brainwashed by the political war machine, is a major contribution to mankind. Thanks for donating your body to the cause!

One small step for man...one giant leap for Gathering Together.

btw, Wilhelm has a lot to say about 25.1 vs. 25.6 on page 514 of his translation.

My books are currently in storage, but I will be sure to look that up, thanks, Rosada.

I'm seeing line 6 as having lots of possible applications, quite different from one another. But it's still too early to reach conclusions based on this incident. Line 1 is easy and natural to understand. Line 6 has the sense of complete contradiction. I've reduced it to something like, an innocent action may have unexpected consequences. An effective medicine may have undesirable side-effects. Also, an innocent action can also be a thoughtless action, leading to unexpected results.

Well I got 25.2.6>58 repeatedly last year and am still not able to see what the 25.6 was saying. Well the nearest I've come is that I was a bit clueless, but there was no disaster or 'negative' or regretful outcome form the 25.6 that I cans see so far.


I don't think the line is especially well understood currently...

I found a quote I'd copied of Karcher's the other day from somewhere, he said something along the lines of "we are assisting the oracle to reimagine itself"....apologies to him if that's wrong, I think I actually heard him on a recorded call where you were around too Bruce, writing text. He is good to listen to. I think he was saying like we have this ancient obscure text back among us.....often we don't 'get it'...so we are actually in a process of re imagining it, refinding it together .

 

[Trojina]

and BTW are you feeling any better ?

hm, interesting... maybe clueless is a good choice of words. innocence and clueless, hmm

Hi! These are my brothers, Innocent and Clueless. kinda works

Maybe it wasn't supposed to be understood too narrowly.

Like Karcher's thought a lot. He applies everyday things to large archetypes, and v.v. If it was the same webinar, he spoke of our mind's neuroplasticity, the way we grow around obstacles, or to connect or reconnect, or bypass to connect. Which to me means reshaping myself... adjusting, in some cases. His point being, that is what the IC helps us to do, in small matters or large. And what's large to me is small to Yi, and v.v., sometimes. I know our priorities differ sometimes, for sure!

 

[sooo]

and BTW are you feeling any better ?

Had an alarming spike in blood pressure. Had Lisinopril dose doubled (I can see Tom cringing). I know the cough from it, along with other undesirable side-effects now. But it knocked the bp back into the ring. I'm told it's not unusual for the bp do go high and things to be erratic - like a 90 bpm pulse! I'm more or less along for the ride, trusting if I 25.1, things will come out alright. If they don't, the universe seems to have a way of adjusting itself, and I think my 25 body has to adjust to the changes, before it can just chill again. Think it's in a h3 phase now: carrying the seed of the future, whatever it is.

Long answer, lol.

 

[Trojina]

Sounds like a bit of a roller coaster ride !

 

[sooo]

Lots more to go, I'm told. If all goes without further complications, I'll be done by mid Jan. Hopefully the outcome will be worth it in the long run, if there is one. I'm not too worried about ultimate outcomes because everyone who lives dies. Some go out with a bang and some with a whimper. My only fear is getting caught in the middle for a length of time. That's why I have a living will. Otherwise, I'm alive and try to be worthy of it.

Then comes Urology. But I may play hooky on that one.
