Depriving the bed of its flesh
Ominous
The natural consequence of unsustainable behavior is extinction of that behavior.
The sleeper awakens to very bad news. Many do not wish him well and carry the
weapons to prove it. There are even a few he thought were his friends, including
his chief of security. They say he was given fair warning about being a greedy rat,
but somehow he needed their envy. If reasons and pleas cannot pierce his covers,
then maybe the knives and swords will. Even as too late as yesterday his fortunes
might have turned. To have given it all away back then was a bargain. Gravity has
the force of a law: you can do many things inside its structure and even find ways
to fly. But gravity now describes this one’s plight, and soon there may be a grave
to sleep in. This is cutting things far too closely: just hope this is only prediction.
Any similarities between this description and what's going on now with Petraeus and other top military leaders?
a #23...unchanging....I mentioned having a copy of Wilhelm and and a copy of Huang. Both suggested bad news. However, everything was fine - it was a regular restaurant, not a church marriage, and there were much less people and a fun party inside....I just bought the Concordance reissue from Amazon. Maybe that will help me figure this reading out more.
Hi weiwuwei,
sometimes it is good not to go anywhere with your brain. You were invited to the wedding, you went. Brilliant. You stayed on the ground.
Let's wait and see I did find it interesting that you mentioned the "chief of security". That's what Petraeus was.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the question you had asked, Esolo,but it seemed that although the questions were worded differently, they were essentially the same: both of us were trying to learn more about the implications of Obama's re-election and second term. What it will 'mean for the future of the US' or 'what can we expect' (with an implication of 'for the US in the future') sounded like the same question to me.
I didn't post the answer I received to refute your answer or start an argument about Obama. I put it out there because if they were the same question, there might be something to be learned about how we ended up with such divergent readings. Could I have affected my reading because I've been hoping that without the pressure of a re-election coming up Obama might take more risks? And when you asked, were you maybe feeling some dread about the future of the US with Obama in charge? In other words, did our personal views about the situation affect the outcome of the readings? Was the I Ching not only answering the question but also addressing the more individual (and deeper) feelings that were present when the questions were asked? This is a bit more "Exploring Divination" than "Shared Readings" but could be worth examining....
