1.2.>13 Outcome on sending package to X

[bellaball]

Hello,

I am currently involved in a project and recently reconnected with someone from my past who say's that they may be able to connect me to the right people (investors) for said project. I was asked to email the info to him because his business partners are in the same business as I and may be interested.

X is someone with whom I had a personal relationship with over 10 years ago. Our relationship took a turn for the worse and X turned out to be very dishonest. The relationship ended on a sour note but X has always wanted to patch things up. I have absolutely no desire to be in a intimate relationship with X however I am considering his offer to assist if he's being sincere and has no hidden agendas. I'm also at a point where I can put the past behind me. Six months ago I would've declined however I've experienced so much recently about life and expectations. I'm learning more and more that the very people you depend on or assume to be your support could be the ones that let you down and vice versa.

I asked What the outcome would be if I send the email and received 1.2>13 which seems promising. Any input would be appreciated

I have yet to send package to X as I was awaiting a response. I don't want to remain idle and let a possible opportunity pass me by but I'm not too sure as to X's true motive. I asked the Yi What will the outcome be if I decide not to send email and received 53.6 to 39 (limping) which does not seem as promising to me as I see it.

I will make a decision in the morning. Any input would be greatly appreciated

What are the chances that X and his partners will steal your plans? I take 1.2 as executable plans and 13 as guardedness. Apparently you are sharing these plans because you need assistance in fulfilling them. I think you should be cautious and defensive and not share everything at first.

Hi Pocossin

What are the chances that X and his partners will steal your plans? I take 1.2 as executable plans and 13 as guardedness. Ahh, see this is what I don't want to happen and why I consulted the Yi.

Apparently you are sharing these plans because you need assistance in fulfilling them. I think you should be cautious and defensive and not share everything at first.

Yes I do need assistance executing this project and I do agree with you on the importance of being cautious and not sharing everything up front. Perhaps I can send something very basic just to see if there's interest, however it may not be in my best interest if these people are not upstanding and trustworthy business people. I have covered my tracks in terms of protection but crooks are crooks and will steal now and fight later.

Any input on 53.6 to 39

It isn't just X. Birds of a feather flock together. It is likely that X's partners are no more honest and fair than he, and business competition is a type of war -- with no holds barred. Of course, I do not know your business plan, but you should withhold such information as clients and suppliers. Nor do I know X's partners, but I suspect they are mostly male, and, as you know, beware a man who does a woman favors. I'd feel better about this if your proposed partners were female, but I am a radical conservative, and though it has gotten me in trouble at Clarity and will in the future, I won't be changing my course, in spite of the efforts of others to "improve" me by reproving me.

As to your second casting (53.6 > 39: What will the outcome be if I decide not to send email?), I am a I Ching conservative and think that everything one needs to know about a situation is contained in one casting. That is, I do not favor chat mode. But in superficial verbal terms, the termination of Development (53.6) and Limping (39: Difficulty in Advancing) is not auspicious. You will be left in indecision and uncertainty if you do not send them something.

Thank you for your insight Pocossin. I do feel it would be appropriate to send "something", however, these people are potential backers that I believe will want to see product and numbers. That's where I'm stuck. Yes, I can email numbers and logistics but the main selling point is "product". I do not want to expose my product or logistics to those who may be untrustworthy let alone do business with them. I don't know these people personally and yes they are men, one very powerful I might add. Again, the one person that I do know was not very upstanding in the past. The bottom line is sending what is safe to expose, whatever that may be. I will mediate some more on this.
