I am prompted by the I Ching itself to join the discussions here in order to continue to grow in my understanding of the oracles by the cast 10/6 to 58 which I received when I asked about joining a group
Hex 10.6 > 58
Conduct is, in many ways, dictated by our family and community in the form of tradition, or even law. It is not inherently right or wrong, is is the rules as we have been taught by our parents, and they were taught by their parents, etc. Different cultures have different rules of conduct, and when we encounter a different cultural reality we are sometimes shocked by the differences in behavior. But this shocking behavior is not wrong, it is only a different cultural influence as taught to them by their ancestors. Different cultures exist in different parts of the world, but culture can also be differentiated by more subtle influences like class, income, race, etc.
10.6: Here you have faced your outdated fears, and now realize that they were, in many ways inherited from your ancestors, and are really just ghosts that can no longer harm you. You can join in your community without fear or feelings of insecurity and enjoy the company of your townspeople if you can release some of the judgements that belong in the past. Those judgements may not be grounded in reality anymore. The best way to approach ANYONE you encounter is with fearless empathy, and an open heart (supported by modest self-confidence).
10>58 Once you get past your negative view of your town (you say people are greedy, selfish, competitive, etc.) you can be more open to talking and interacting with the people who surround you. Connect with people in an open, accepting way and you will be surprised by who you find in your community to connect with and sympathize with. Not everyone is a tiger! Human contact, and conversation is fundamentally necessary for happiness.
Hex 58 indicated that joining this site would be a most excellent choice for you, you can come here talk and discuss to your hearts content, plus you will have the chance to learn from others, receive new ideas and also get clarification into your own readings thus giving you a better understanding, not only about your answers but also about your life as well. Then you can venture into the mystic realms of reading for others.
Ha! The thought of reading for others never occurred to me. In fact, for many years I kept the whole I Ching thing very secretive because I ran into a lot of Skepticism from my friends and family. Gradually, as I came to understand a little more, I opened up to one person about it and got a very negative response so I've closed down in that are too - until now. I can see that things will get better from talking here
Line 10.6 says that you will learn from your actions and deeds here, to look back at what you have achieved, then you will know how to proceed to the next step. Learning is a simple progression, like building a house, good foundations will support a heavy load.
Dear Mariah Kaze,
Hex 10 is also about teasing the Tiger and getting away with it because we are humorous and amusing, like the court jester. Humor is another thing that we learn from our culture. What is funny for me may not be funny for you, in fact it may be deadly serious. But there is no misunderstanding amongst kinsmen, they speak the same language on many levels. Line 6 is not about continuing to appease the Tiger with humor as the weapon of defense, it is about BECOMING the Tiger through the magical transformation of maturity. Look back (over your shoulder) and see if your children, either real or metaphorical, who are nipping at your heals are strong, healthy, happy. If so, you have done your work well and you will enjoy the echoes of children laughing and trying to amuse you, if you have not done well then your children will seem irritating or even threatening.

Thanks for a deeply interesting conversation. I honor your insights on the IChing and wish you great success in your future readings.
Sincerely,
DanaDanaDana
Your "children" are your creations and also your relationships with people in your town. You could be an elder now in more than just age. If you feel it is about sacrifice, then be sure not to sacrifice your own soul's birthright to love and companionship which is necessary for life and health. The ancestors are not asking you to sacrifice your well-being, they need you to transcend their limits and burn up their karma, and by doing so to be happy, not lonely or isolated.
