I've gotten this line three times in the past couple of weeks. It is interesting that it is considered to be a "green light" by many. The auspice is certainly favorable to advance.
We might feel this is what anybody would do, given the situation.
Once when I got this line, the task was arduous, very expensive, or would have taken a long time to complete ... So I did not go forward right away. But having set that goal, a less arduous, less expensive, and less time-consuming way to reach that goal appeared soon afterward ...
Does 15.3 indicate the average way to go forward? But with the hidden meaning that often we're better off not going forward the same way the average person would?
Perhaps in modern language we would say that setting the intention draws the desired result. Some would say that through the law of attraction we will manifest what is needed. Other people would say that no prayer goes unanswered. It's so often a question of vocabulary, self-talk, and the way we put something to ourselves.
I put it this way to myself: I'll send my wishes out into the universe and then be quiet and listen for the reply. Doing less, and being more myself, because "thoughts are things."
I think setting the intention, while drawing a result, may be other than the result we had intended, expected or hoped for.
I had an image of 15 yesterday, of mountain bowing before earth, as a royal youngest son might honor his mother.
Do your best,
Release the rest.
As I understand it now, the message of 15 in general is to recognize our limitations; to be a modest person. That does not mean that what we want to do cannot be done. It often means there is a simpler, less labor-intensive way.
Your comment here, Trojan, about how you had a lot to do and after receiving this hexagram somehow it all got done, reminded me of an phenomenon I've been wanting to ask other's experience with. It seems to me that, occasionally, and I don't know how it happens sometimes and not others, it seems that just consulting the I Ching causes everything to change. For example, you might ask, "How should I handle this situation?" and the I Ching gives you an answer but then, before you act on the advice or do anything more - the situation resolves! It's like consulting the I Ching really did turn it over to a higher power. Anyone else connect with what I'm talking about? I don't mean to be off topic, I think some how this is a sort of 15.3 experience, where the man modestly says, "Oh I didn't do anything special" only it's really true, the man doesn't do anything, somehow the changes just happen.

oh thanks this is so helpful!Here is what LiSe says about 15.3:
9 at 3: Laboring give-and-take. A noble one brings to completion. Auspicious.
Do what you do, as good as you are. You don't have to strive for results or recognition. Just doing and being what you can does the job, it will attract results and people. Being what you are matters more than showing what you are.
I "get it." Perhaps in modern language we would say that setting the intention draws the desired result. Some would say that through the law of attraction we will manifest what is needed. Other people would say that no prayer goes unanswered. It's so often a question of vocabulary, self-talk, and the way we put something to ourselves.

Thank you, Trojan, Soooo, and Bradford for your help.
