14 after 44

Candid,
I'll try to elaborate regarding 14 and my relation to 44 based on my experience, as their doesn't seem to be a direct relationship of these two hexagrams---

To date, for me 14 has been about gains, accrual through amassing (Wilhem refers to it . It has to do with harvest-- not the harvest itself, but what one does with the harvest. It's more about "turning" a profit...realising the full potential. Taking something not so good and making it good; taking something good and making it better.

Maybe this is more than you asked for, and I?m sure it?s not everyone?s experience?.

14.1 shying away from a venture or partnership with what is there to work with is very ok. The situation isn't really ideal for this.

14.2 One gets more than what one bargained for, or maybe not as much as what was bargained for---either way, it will take a lot of effort to, a lot to deal with...in effect it is a heavy load regardless. But the means of taking it where it needs to be are there at your disposal. The means are strong and reliable, and you can really do something with what you have, but it has to be borne with purpose to realise the profit.

14.3 You have your harvest, but decide not to keep it for yourself. Maybe your stores are full enough, or you think someone needs it more than you do, or maybe you can't do anything with it yourself right now, so rather than horde it or let it go to waste you give it up.

14.4 Maybe you entered this with someone else, a joint venture, a joint harvest. But the profits are divied up. The field was planted together and harvested together, but the harvest isn't shared. What you do with your share and they do with their share are your own business. Here the sharing of the shares end.

14.5 A partnership built on trust is equitable and rewarding for all parties. It has been planted, nurtured, grown, harvested, a profit turned and all shared. It is very honorable and trustworthy throughout.

14.6 Heaven blesses the efforts. What can I say about this line?

It's not as cold as it sounds. It takes a lot of strength and love to turn some things into gold. A marriage for example?. You have this in your possession, now what are you going to do with it? Let it sit and stagnate (corrupt), or take what you have, determine a course to strengthen it and make it grow into something of great and lasting value. You can?t be weak or indifferent or nothing can be accomplished. It takes work and guidelines, give and take (14.5 a partnership built on trust is equitable and rewarding for all parties) but what a great, great thing can come of it if its potential is fully realized.

So to wrap this up and connect it to what I said in the 44 thread:

After my encounter with 44, I can?t say that I enjoy it. It was both more than I bargained for and not all that I had hoped. But if you look at line 2 above, I can realize great things from it. I can use my strength, or develop my strength and turn this into a great blessing. He is not mine to have (line 3) because of line 1. We ended at line 4. I?ve received all of these lines in 14 in connection to my encounter, meeting (44) with him. We are still friends and I hope remain friends. He?s an awesome person.

I meant to say in the 2nd paragraph, (Wilhem refers to it in "miscellaneous notes" as Possession in Great Measure indicates the Mass).

It feels more like amass to me.

Deb, took me a couple times through to get to your meaning, but I see it now as a transmutation.

That's a noble approach, if I may say.

Wonder if maybe 60 can work for you in some way...

Candid,

Not noble at all. Just my way of mining for the gold, but there's a ton of stuff to filter through to get it.

The lessons I've learned from this relationship are incredible, more precious than gold.

Regarding 60, maybe you will elaborate? (and maybe on transmutation too ; )...)

Deb...

That was great. This is the gold I look for here on the forum. Thank you so much. I'm going to savor your words now for awhile.

Love,

Val

Deb,

Well, I think its noble. You could have chosen to collapse in an emotional heap and give up on his friendship.

Transmute: to change something, or be changed, from one form, nature, substance, or state to another. (In this case 44 to 14.)

There's a bit of my own projection involved with the 60 comment. I received it when asking about love in 2004. (I'm still a lone wolf.) To me it meant keeping any love connections ordered to fit into the whole schematics of my life. And to be satisfied with less than ideals. Its not an all or nothing deal. Tis not a year to marry, but beginnings are not out of the question.

Thanks Val, I'm glad it you were able to get something out of it.

Candid, thank you.

Yes, I think measure is something I have to contend with presently as it will be some time before anyone can hold a candle to him. But I can 60 til then ; ), and who knows....
