Hi,
32 in my opinion is a beautiful answer to your question. It talk about long lasting relationship.
In the book that I use (the complete I Ching) it says “the message of this gua is that sincerity, purity and unselfishness are the essential elements of a long lasting relationship”.
Be happy you received a spot on and beautiful answer.
Was this book by Stephen Karcher ?In the book that I use (the complete I Ching) it says “the message of this gua is that sincerity, purity and unselfishness are the essential elements of a long lasting relationship”.
32 carries a beautiful sense of things enduring. It calls upon the superior person to stand firm without changing their aim.'What will happen if I keep going to see him?'
32 unchanging
So I was wondering wonder if there's any potential here as I'd like to get to know him more, but it's based only on a feeling that he's interested in me too.
'What will happen if I keep going to see him?'
32 unchanging
My feeling about the reading is that it's good for me to keep going as I have been, initiating conversations and see what happens. Whatever happens, I'm following my feeling and moving toward making a connection, and I feel like whenever there's an opportunity for that in my life I should take it.
For me, it's not so much about things just staying the same. 32 holds an element of choice and asks for appropriate action to ensure that what you have already gained remains. I agree with Trojina, too, when she says that it does not automatically follow that things will develop. The beauty of 32 lies in seeing something through in a consistent way and thereby ensuring that what you have already gained is not lost or diminished.I agree with Trojina in terms of things just staying the same - that's my experience of Hex 32
12.6 according to Wilhelm is "The standstill comes to an end. First standstill, then good fortune". So at present there is a standstill, but this standstill is meant to come to an end (Gathering). In fact, Wilhelm's interpretation adds: "One should not wish to make it permanent". To me, this sounds like an encouragement to go ahead. 45.6 in Wing's interpretation is "Any approach toward union will meet with rejection. This will bring you frustration because your intentions are misunderstood. Turn your attention inward instead, in order to penetrate the meaning of this disharmony. An inner accord with your Self will strengthen your position, and unity may become possible after all".Thank you so much everyone, really appreciate your interptetations. So amazing the I Ching in action.
Thanks for the link, Trojina, a lot of helpful insights there.
I also had this feeling about the 32uc, that "lasting" doesn't necessarily mean this develops into a relationship - that would be a big leap, since we know very little about each other. (To answer Trojina, not even if he's single.)
So I asked:
What will happen if I give him my number?
12.6 changing to 45
Blocked, "Overturning the block", and Gathering
(Hilary's terms from here on this site)
My feeling is that it's worth taking this step and investing in this possible connection. A nothing to lose kind of situation, even if 'Gathering' might not mean a relationship with this person.
But I don't feel like rushing into it, not sure if that's a 'slow and steady does it' feeling I get from the 32uc, or fear of rejection lol.
Because 'Blocked' could very much be about how I've let fear hold me back from taking the first step in this kind of situation before.
These from my_key about 32uc resonate for me (Thanks my_key):
"appropriate action to ensure that what you have already gained remains"
"seeing something through in a consistent way"
