Your experiences please...
MEDITATION ON TWIN HEARTS (MTH) is an advanced meditation technique aimed at achieving illumination or universal consciousness. It is also an instrument of world and community service that eventually harmonizes the earth by blessing it with loving-kindness, peace, joy and goodwill.
May I ask you, what are your expectations of it?
I also happen to recall a man who had a nasty bite from a scorpion and was in great pain and when he asked Yi for advice on what to do, whether to seek help or not, he got 62 uc.
I suppose it was divinity's way of immunization
To this day and night, no sheet or blanket since from my bed has ever touched the ground.
Those were not quite the lessons I took from that story...
'Above the mountain is thunder: Small Exceeding
A noble one in actions exceeds in respect,
In loss exceeds in mourning
In spending exceeds in economy.'
That is the single most horrid thread I have ever read in these forums. Worried much about ongoing health of said person, and instantly scratched place off list of possible vacation spots.
Sometimes things just are just what they are, without a deep or lofty meaning to them. Rarely do they meet ones grand and dramatic expectations.
I never knew quite what to take from the story, but I have heard that some link 62 with the transition of the soul. The soul being the small bird carrying it's message with which, being so small against the great sky, it must be exceedingly careful. Bruce presumably needed to be extremely careful.
It's not for nothing the Image in 62 says
from Hilary's book
In terms of subjective experience our own truth looms large in 61. How we see it or feel it is the truth of it. In 62 our own truth is small against the greater reality but it is precious nonetheless . There is still a message to carry. We might be said to be birds in flight in life. In death the small bird, the soul makes the transition. I presume in losing the personality and the body the soul feels small against the greater reality.
I recently had an experience of death and 62 so that's why I'm thinking of it in terms of transition.
Don't worry Lisa it can't always be death and scorpion bites but in any matter there appears to be the need to special care, special attention to detail, if you look at the words of the Image. I imagine it as carrying a teetering tray full of drinks across a crowded room with a bumpy floor. One must be excessively careful, at least more careful than normal.
However Bruce's other example here lightens up the whole thing. I mean the one where he thought the exotic bird had a portent. Although reflecting on it, even though she had a houseful of those birds, didn't mean the one you saw Bruce , was not a portent . All omens are only being omens for a short while for us.
BTW you do know Sooo is the one who had the scorpion experience don't you...I'm not sure you picked up I was kidding about knowing a man who...
the sense of my being was as becoming one with the scorpion species itself.
Rarely do they meet ones grand and dramatic expectations.
ps I can maybe agree about grand and dramatic expectations, though.

In some situations, and against some forces, we are small people, and we need to recognize that and act accordingly. Don't overreach. When faced with great danger, we shouldn't think we're mightier than we are.
"Small things may be done; great things should not be done." (Wilhelm Baynes)
In your case, I think the "great thing" (that should not be done) was trying to ride it out.
