Hello all.

I am working to take the right steps to improve my situation as quickly as possible, as events last night made it clear that I am still not safe where I am and I am here because I fled an unsafe situation in another state. I want to be able to live in another place, but for the moment the room that I am in is the only one for which I will get Public Assistance approval and I am simply not safe here. They key to my turn around at this point in time is perseverance and money. I have been persevering for so long, I don't know that I feel very strong about it anymore, but I recently became enlivened about a prospect I discovered in a conversation started with me by a woman whom I had never before met. I posted about that on an other thread this morning [I don't know how to set a link for it here it's entitled, "6.2.4.5>23 and 1.1.5>50 getting Fin Aid and getting into Massage School"], asking specifically about being able to actually successfully enroll in massage school at this time and get fin aid for it. I am grateful for the response I got from willowfox. It seems, however, unless anyone has a different perspective, that I will not be able to realize this goal in the current enrollment schedule which is now, through January for schools in NYS and NJ. willowfox estimates a time of around next May being when things open up for me in this arena. I must be making active changes well before then, as I want to see my situation change for the better immediately.

So, I asked the Yi,
Q: What are my options for most quickly gaining financial independence?
16.2.4>7 = “Enthusiasm The Army”

I would appreciate insights into what the Yi is telling me here, and if possible any additional insights into my other positing.

As I said there, I have been helped by you over the passed two years since I discovered this site and the I Ching. I have drafted numerous first postings, but I never submitted one until now. I want to do more than survive, I want to thrive. But, I truly fear for my safety again, just a few short weeks after having made a life-changing choice to save my life. I am struggling to find my way into the paths that god has opened for me. I cannot believe that I am meant to endure this living situation for any length of time, as it is in all practical senses a repeat of what I just endured for over two years and which, when I fought back against, forced me to choose between justice and remaining alive. The only way it will change is either with a sudden influx of money or with a change of situation that entails a change of residence, like being enrolled in school, or a call from someone at DSS about a unique opportunity that miraculously popped into creation and they thought of me right away to snatch it up.

What do you see this as telling me are my options? I will follow where I am led, but I cannot see a path right now as EVERY plan I have undertaken for the passed three years has been met with blocks that are dangerous and threatening to overcome, forcing me right back into a situation of having to take someone on or to fight back and demand correction from a higher authority. And I am not safe here. I must change my situation and I cannot wait until next May to do so. I appreciate as much insight as any of you will offer me. Thank you so much.

Many warm regards,

sastird

Again I have to say, don't take May as gospel because you didn't actually ask a timing question, so if you want to know time, include it in your question and make it very clear.

Your answer above indicates the need to be realistic in your expectations, and very patient but having said that, success in getting money together is very real with the help of others as it cannot be done alone. The only option I see is that you have to persevere down every avenue of opportunity until you get what you want.

Line 16.2 is about being realistic about your chances.

Line 16.4 is about getting the money that you need with the help of a friend or an associate.

1. Move on soon.2. Be enthusiastic. 3. Lead or control.

So, I asked the Yi,

16 line 2. 8 characters:
Stuck between two rocks, but don't stay there all day, correct things and get on.
16 line 4. 10 characters:
From enthusiasm comes great things. If you have no doubt, why would friends not join you?
7: Means to lead, be a leader or hold things in control.

1. Move on soon.
2. Be enthusiastic, conceive good ideas and make initiatives.
3. Lead or control something.

Sounds like you should just get energetic about your future. :)

Perhaps that is going to be the problem, especially initially, too much enthusiasm and energy can lead to disappointment when the situation gets bogged down by bureaucratic nonsense. Government does not move fast and she wants lightspeed.

The reading said: "From enthusiasm comes great things"!
I always translate myself, but nearly every good translation says something like this.
