Firstly, I asked the I Ching ''How can I expect my realtionship with X to change in the near future?'' for which I got 51.3 moving to 55.
I am interpreting this as positive. An event or discovery is to take place soon which will disturb our friendship, but if I remain level-headed {moving line 3}, then a time of happiness is due. I find this ambiguous only in that the Judgement suggests that it is short-lived: does this necessarily mean that things are going to get awful afterwards? Or just more upheaval? I should add that I was very much infatuated with her in the past, and sometimes I still hope for something more, against all odds.
Hello people! I have two questions for which I graciously ask for your advice upon: the first concerning a girl I am close friends with, and the second regarding a drastic change in outlook. I have written a lot, but it's easy reading, and I would appreciate all input available, now more than ever before, in fact.

My next question was much more important.
''Is a radical change in attitude, outlook and beliefs necessary now?''

I hope the question isnt vague. I assumed the I Ching would understand my meaning. Frankly, I did'nt know how to word it more concisely without writing an essay.
I don't want to go on, but for years and years I have been looking for an answer to why I am so messed up and why life isn't what it was cracked up to be: a panacea to all my difficulties, in particular: who am I? Why do I never feel like ME?
I was looking 'out there' for the answer, but recent experiences have yielded what to me is an astonishing discovery: that the very world itself is shaped by one's belief and attitude. I mean this in a spirtual sense, although there has been liitle enough room in my life for God or spirituality, whichever form it takes. {actually, I'm half-convinced now that any given religion is a system with which to train one's perception}.
''The Kingdom of Heaven is already here'', according to Christ as depicted in the Gospel of Thomas. I hope this explains my meaning. Heaven, it seems to me now, is a state of mind, not a place. Likewise, who one truly is is already to be known, if one just looks the right way at things. The realization that belief and faith directly affect the world and one's experience of it has inevitably led me to conclude that my beliefs and attitudes up to this point have been WRONG, but it is difficult to let go. I asked the I Ching with this in mind: that if belief and will and vision comprise in a VERY REAL WAY what actually is, then it must be time to change my beliefs, and adopt a new vision.
'Short-lived' referred to hexagram 55. I very much hope that a third party does not get involved! A shakeup could mean that a major argument or falling-out is due, could'nt it? internal pressures being built up too long. I have been very depressed and withdrawn recently, so maybe this will be a source of consternation. Or maybe she is going to go for someone else. Ah, me. Thanks for your input. What do you think of 55?

I was very excited about this reading ''The Truth Within'', or ''Faithfulness''. This seems to me to affirm what I am thinking. But the moving lines and the subsequent hexagram ''Family'' are a mystery to me.
If you have taken the time to read this, thank you very much. How would you interpret this this? What is meant by Family? Is this a YES to my question?

Self-obsession is the prerogative of those out of step with who they truly are.
I haven't read through others responses in detail so I may be repeating but my experience with 51 is yes it can indicate alot of excitement and shake up but this can be largely within ones own person. I wouldn't externalise or over dramatise your answer too much. I think people tend to over dramatize 51 always thinking something earth shattering is about to happen. Well maybe occasionaly but more often than not its a shakeup of feeling nothing more.
you just return naturally following the call of the integrity of your true self/spirit whatever you call it, to where you belong, where your soul is at home, 37.
