‘Not going out of the gate from the courtyard.
Pitfall.’
Hexagram 60, line 2
‘Above the lake is the stream. Measuring.
A noble one crafts number and measure,
Reflecting on character in action.’
Articulating the Crossing - Hex 60 meaning 'stilling it'Background, reading…
My joints ache – not a lot, but more than they used to, especially in the mornings, and especially over the past year. I know the basics I need to do about this (move more, eat more turmeric and less sugar, lose weight), so this reading wasn’t about that. Instead, I was thinking about the symbolism of this, with its ‘no, you’re not free to move’ message.
So my question was,
‘How to change this? Not so much what to do, as how to be? What inner change will help?’
Yi answered with Hexagram 60, Measuring, changing at line 2 to Hexagram 3, Sprouting.
Are you talking to me, by any chance?there's nothing more to be gained from staying indoors philosophising about the benefits of exercise
It is the glimpse of the hidden possibility combined in the intermingling yet firmly based in Hex 60. There is of course poetic licence as you would expect in any Karcher-esque interpretation.Very Karcher, thank you! Where does the 'sailing across wide blue waters' come in?
I'd be disappointed if it were missing! (Though funnily enough, my small experience with actual Karcher interpretation is that he was very specific.)There is of course poetic licence as you would expect in any Karcher-esque interpretation.
The funny thing is, this sounds/feels exactly like Hexagram 59 to me.Imagine yourself in a boat in the middle of the still peaceful ocean resting under the Sun with the Moon soon to rise. In the haze it is difficult to see where the water ends and the sky begins. Is one water? Is one lake? Is one lake? Is one water? In the stillness you loose yourself betwixt lake and water all you see is blue...........
I would love to have had a similar experience with him. When people are able to slide into specifics easily it usually means they know their onions. Plus it is easier to be specific one to one rather than ina public forum.I'd be disappointed if it were missing! (Though funnily enough, my small experience with actual Karcher interpretation is that he was very specific.)
There you go then. Your sense and my sense of your situation in harmony. I'm glad my reading resonated with you in some small way and hope this inner change unfolds fully for you.The funny thing is, this sounds/feels exactly like Hexagram 59 to me.
