Unchanging - is all this activity and advancing actually going anywhere? (As prediction: maybe not. However, all this activity may be laying the foundation for future developments.)
Experience: 35 unchanging as reading for the week. I spent the week making great progress in installing and setting up program a, with much energy; then found it would not work with the essential program b, which rendered it perfectly useless. But at least this got me thinking about what I really needed
Do it all yourself
35 -God helps who helps himself
36 -Forget status, focus on autonomy
Advancing forms a pair with Hexagram 36, Brightness Hidden:
'Advancing means daylight, Brightness Hidden means Castigation'
Now, you are the one who is popular, blessed and bathed in sunlight; sometimes, you are the one who is punished, pursued and cast out into the dark.
"There is clarity , LI, in the upper realm, which springs forth from sincere devotion, K'UN, in the lower trigram of human affairs. When PROGRESS occurs without change it reflects a sound and stable position. This lasting accord affords you a foundation from which you can improve your moral and philosophical outlook. Future endeavours can begin on a higher plane of understanding. Goals can become refined and truly worthy."
Last fall I had gained some weight, was worried, asked, got 35uc. I blew up at yi and said fiercely "I am SO SICK of 35uc” -- got 14uc. Don't even know what that means, but it made me laugh. And my weight has been pretty much back to normal since soon thereafter.
.
yes exactly! although I think with an added "like it or not, it is your treasure"you : "I am SO SICK of 35uc”
Yi: well, its all you can have.. be happy
Thinking more about it I find 35 is more like receiving a powerful push onwards . . a chance to take some vigorous steps towards some unspecified goal, yet not the goal itself.
I was about to give an artist talk, got dressed in my European winter formals: oxblood turtleneck dress, tan woolen peacoat, black leather oxfords. Looked at myself in the mirror, wondered if I was overdressed, asked the i ching to comment on my outfit.
35 uc - I took it as "You look fine, go ahead."
Headed to the venue, and saw that my fellow artist presenter was dressed very casually. Felt weird looking so made up, so I went back to my room and changed into something more homely: baggy gray sweater, unflattering gray winter trousers, chunky white sneakers.
Until now I am not sure what 35uc meant that day. Actually, nobody told me to change my outfit. I wonder if I would have gotten more attention if I had stuck with my slinky turtleneck dress.
also, to get back to the yi -- I wonder if the unchanging, unactivated aspect of 35 was in the fact that you changed clothes.
35 uc - I took it as "You look fine, go ahead."
