unless someone can give me a good reason to hang on, I may be moving on.
Well, this sound more like that Yi is trying to answer the questions I have been having about ***** the celebrity, and my personal goals. I insist upon the very best. I know I can get it. Is it trying to pacify me? IS it fooling with my head? OF course I have been working on these goals long before I invited the oracle in my life. And then, to make things more esoteric, the secondary hexagram was 54, the marrying maiden. I'm not making myself subordinate to anyone! I don't play second fiddle. Second fiddle is not the very best.
"The man leads and the girl follows him in gladness."
An older man defers to a young girl and shows her
consideration. By this he moves her to follow him.
So, I asked the question, would it be best if I let the iching out of my life?
For now I just need a good explanation of the casting 17.2.5 > 54
Thank you :bows:
Thanks everyone for your post. I deeply appreciate your understanding and comments. anemos, you are very astute and intuitional. Thank you for being calm with me and addressing the issue. Peace to you all. :bows:
For me, I am more assertive. I just tell God what I want, and go for it with all my actions. Sometimes, I meet with opposition, like with the distance of this girl, I can't close the distance without physically going to where she is, and because of my duties here, I can't right now. I also meet with resistance of other's making up their minds, but once they meet with my personality and enthusiasm, things always seem to work out. They can see my vision and my dream, and most people want a vision with someone who is tenacious enough to carry it out. That's been my experience. When my girlfriend/wife meets me, it's almost all over. I say almost because there still the kiss the seals the meeting. She has to want to kiss me. She already does, we just have to meet. It is being so sure and so confident, the universe gives way to such leaders. I know and act as if it is already a done deal. Do this with humility and grace, it is very powerful.
Don't get me wrong, I have a meeting with doubt everyday. Doubt has a very strong personality and sometimes he is so close to convincing me that I should just give in. IT IS MADDENING! I literally get down on my knees and pray. Ultimately, I realize the it will all come about if I just keep going. With this girl, I want her now, but I am going to wait. I can wait, it may be hard, it may push me to limits I have never experienced before, but it is not impossible, and Yi isn't going to tell me that it is impossible! The Yi is not God. The Yi is only my intuition for today; not tomorrow, so no answer it gives is in anyway life everlasting. God's word is everlasting, and one day, I will in tune in enough to hear the everlasting word without the help of Yi. So, do I want to leave Yi to hear the everlasting word of God? YES! I think the usefulness of Yi is that is has taught me a little about how to listen more carefully. yes, I fail, but for me the metaphor is more like being on a path through the mountains. The path is really thin in places, and sometimes I get off the path. Sometimes I am pushed off by distractions, or enticements, or by a storm because I have to seek shelter, but I always try to come back to the path. And if one day I am so engrossed in a distraction, grace reminds me to continue on my quest. Thank God for grace.
As far as your 54 thing, sometimes we need to subordinate to another. The great lesson in that is when we decide that subordination doesn't have to happen. If you find yourself looking at another, wishing you could be her, then it is time to stop being subordinate because you are capable of being the wife. Rebel against that which you don't want. Yi isn't keeping you there, you are. I have done it too, and I may do it in the future. It is one of those things that we choose to do because it fulfills some of our needs. It gets unhealthy when it starts to eat at our craw.
Best to you, and thank you for your friendship. I haven't decided fully if I plan to leave yet, so we may be talking again.
I don't see what this is in response to. And I don't know enough about the history to dispute the accuracy of what you're saying. However, I don't think that "using one's own morality and ethics" and consulting the I Ching has to be a case of either/or. Also, of what relevance is it what leaders think(or what they say they think)?lavalamp said:My understanding is in China the leadership did not use the iChing for divination. They considered it a good reference to understand life, changes and the way, but relied on their own sense of morality and ethics - or lack thereof - to guide them. It was only the masses that used the iChing for divination, leaders thought it could cause confusion and impede responsible action.
