12.4>20 --hold off just yet? then 21.1.4.5.20

Okay, there is a position in my organization which is opening up, and I would very much like to serve in this post, but it's complicated. It might be politically bad for me to put my name in, because the current front runner is very competitive, and this person and I have been on poor terms in the past, and he slandered me. It was nasty. But that being said, applications are open. So I asked for clarification:

Hex 12.4 moving to 20.

What I got out of that -- no kidding my potential running mate is a not nice person. He's not nice, and I know it. I would probably get the position, because I am really qualified for it, and the people who make that decision are well disposed towards me, but I would definitely gain his enemity, and then he would do not nice things,a nd say not nice things -- and it could be really stressful.

So I think the oracle is suggesting I make myself ready and just wait.

So then I asked, what if the current front runner gets the job? What would happen in the organization?

21.1.4.5 >20

This was a lot harder to interpret.

21 -- It is possible that people in the group who like him less than me will use the groups bylaws to resist him taking the post. That is a real possibility, in fact it may be going on right now.

21.1 He will be held back in small ways to try to keep him in check.
21.4 (Some interesting literalness about money and arrows...) Basically he would accomplish some valuable things, in order to prove that he was a worthy candidate.
21.5 (This one really eludes me.) He would push the group to achieve things so that he could brag about it, even if the cost of accomplishing the goal alienated people, or made the group "dry". We have a lot of personal resources, and when we pull together we can accomplish great things. I just think he would harness that for his own selfish goals. Is that anything close? This line is really hard.

20 But still the counsel is wait.

Okay thoughts? If I am going to put my name in for consideration I have to do it over the weekend.

Update, I asked if taking the post would make me happy I got
44.2.3>12 -- I don't think it would. I think it might just be a great big hassle, as much as I want to do it. Mainly because there are some people with an agenda.

I see this as actually advising you to run for the job as you say yourself that you are qualified for the post, you are the right person for the job, whereas your opponent seems not to be qualified for it, and will fail to win.

You will get the job, so Hex 20 suggests that you take no notice of the him, put your name in and let the ball run, and then watch and wait but don't get drawn into any debates with him or about him. Be like a UN observer, stand your ground.

Look at line 21.1 his feet are in the stocks, he ain't going anywhere, so all looks well.
