"The component trigram is doubed. K'AN, the dangerous and profound, is repeated above and below. In it's static form, DANGER is repeated dramatically in regard to your enquiry. Your desires lead you into DANGER again and again. Repeatedly you manage an escape only to be confronted with another dangerous situation. Virtuous conduct, by strengthening your character, may help you transcend the entire affair."
Make your road 'stand' in time
29 - realise what is inevitable and do not fight it
30 - realise what you have and make it shine
Repeating Chasms are paired and contrasted with hexagram 30, Clarity.
'Clarity is above the chasm is below'
These are natural opposites: above and below, fire and water, light and dark, waking and dreaming. yet together they create a single landscape. Chinese tradition says that after its journey across the sky, the sun is bathed in the river at the foot of the Leaning Mulberry tree: the sun itself needs to 'repeat the chasm'.
Whether you decide to stay the course or depart with 29 unchanging is entirely down to whether you think its worth it.
Recently I did a cast for someone who had had a terrible time with stress at work and wondered if they should go off sick or stay till the end of the year when redundancy would be likley to be offered.
I said that what they had been suffering,.they described as feeling like they were going to die...like they couldn't cope, would be likley to return. I was therefore thinking this person probably should go off sick...
However he decided to go on and he told me the whole stress episode did return but he kept on through to the end and now has a large redundancy payment.
I learned alot of 29 uc from that. He was really hanging on by his coat tails but he personally wanted to continue. He'd had the job a very long time and I think wanted to leave on a high note rather than fade away due to sickness.
So to him it was worth it. It was a career he cared for....and I think he wanted to ride through the rough time. I think he may have seen it as a defeat if he hadn't.
However if the pain and suffering had not been worth it then it surely would have been the correct thing to leave.
29 does generally involve a roller coaster ride and hard times. If you can "hold your heart fast", as I believe he did, then it is good to continue...but not if its something thats not worth it to you.
The final months of a mans career may be very important to him .....hmmm but if I was asking "should i renew my gym membership" and got 29 , well I don't think I would.
At the time I didnt know what yi was saying, apart from the fact that i was all alone and feeling like i was in danger.
that weird sense of humor to put it polite...
Curiously, Wilhelm's words for the the Judgment and the Image are so encouraging. If you didn't know better you'd step right into the river...
If you are sincere, you have success in your heart, and whatever you do succeeds.
The superior man walks in lasting virtue and carries on the business of teaching.

I'm not sure whether I want to translate the oracle as 'holding the heart fast creates success' or 'the connected heart makes the offering'.
What I have noticed is at some point just before the pain resolves I have had the sensation of a kind of travelling nerve impulse moving around inside my mouth like a tiny fast flowing current...it's actually felt as if this nerve ending was seeking it's level, cascading down from the surface where it was problematic to some place down in tooth depth where it belongs and where it can flow at ease.
I think the latter is a broader landscape. There's usually not much held fast in water, except an anchor, but not inherent in water itself. A steady heart seems to be covered in 32. The offering, otoh, can be anything from a drink to a baptism, and the danger of drowning.
Just before I left, i went to the bathroom and sat on the toilet lid and took out my coins and books. I was so incredibly nervous about this party. The answer I got back was 29UC, about 3 times if i remember correctly. At the time I didn't know what yi was saying, apart from the fact that i was all alone and feeling like i was in danger.
