22.5 advises adornment or simplicity?

[hilary]

Option 3: read the text of the line as describing him.

If I get 27zhi22 as the answer to how should I regard someone, I would say to myself: "wow, this person is quite a snob!" Snob = someone rejecting real nourishment due to superficiality (27zhi22)

Yes, that's a third option! I didn't go there because Galatea didn't (and she knows best what she had in mind with her question), but you're right, it's a distinct possibility.

An aside, though: 22 isn't just superficiality: it's all kinds of self-image and personal identity. 'I'm an independent person who doesn't need anyone else,' would be one. Or 'I'm a spiritual person who doesn't do marketing' (for someone who is going out of business because no-one knows what they sell!) or 'I'm a [insert dietary identity here] who never eats [insert good, nutritious food here]' (for someone who is fading away due to multiple nutrient deficiencies).

 

[galatea11]

Greetings, thank you so much for all the additional insights and commentary. And for the patience with my slow learning curve. From now on I will remember to @hilary; when I'm responding to her here Thank you very much, Hilary, for your thoughtful responses. None of your insight is offensive to me - if I'm being delusional I truly want to know about it. In regard to 27.3 and this man.. I don't think he is just a fantasy figure because his attention to me was more overt than ever this past weekend, even provoking some commentary from people near me. However, he didn't ask me out, didn't ask for my phone number, etc. Sixth Relative, I don't think he can be described as a snob, unless I'm missing something in his behavior. At moments I've thought that he might be a bit uneasy about me. He's probably 20 years older than I am. I know that I'd be leery of someone 20 years younger than myself but given that I'm turning 50 this year the age gap between him and me doesn't seem that significant - we've both been around a while and had a lot of life experiences.

However this situation plays out I suspect it will ultimately be a great source of enlightenment about the mysterious 27.3. Strangely, many of the "third lines" (most notably 6.3) tend to befuddle me but that's a whole separate issue.

Rosada, at the last moment I took the 22.5 reading to mean that I should rely more on modesty and sincere personality than adornment so I just wore simple pants, a T-shirt and no makeup

 

[rosada]

27.3 - 22 Pehaps a caution that you should regard this man as a vague possibility but beware of investing too much time and attention on someone who isn’t nourishing you particularly.

 

[galatea11]

Thank you, Rosada. Your advice seems very accurate. I had the opportunity (if I chose) to see the same gentleman today so I queried Yi about "what would be the effect of going to X place?" and received 26.3.5.6. To my possibly misguided eye this seemed like a magical reading, especially with 26.6 and hidden line of 41.5 included.

In reality today did not feel magical at all. I went there and man in question had the usual gleam in his eye (maybe how he looks at many ladies) but he did not ask me out, did not ask for my phone number and that was that. Today was probably the day that he should have dome something if he was ever going to do anything. When I'd last seen him (occasion of 22.5 reading which spawned this thread) he had openly warned another man to stay away from me and seemed to take any opportunity to touch me or be close to me that he could find. I practically swooned but something told me not to get too high on the "hopium".

Also, I know it's a bad sign when I'm doing too many readings about the same person: my subconscious is telling me that my hopes are not congruent with reality. Today has not ended badly but I think it ends my 22-type delusions about this man. As Moss Elk had cautioned previously the fruit being dangled in front of my eyes by him was made of wax and contained no nutrients at all. I believe that he wanted my attention but that's all he wanted: just some attention to pump him up in the moment. Many thanks to all of you who contributed your insights and opinions to this thread. If there are ever any further developments I will update here but I sorta doubt that there will ever be much to say.

P.S. Earlier in this thread Hilary had wondered if there was another "less shiny" man in my life whom I was ignoring in favor of Mr. 27.3. In fact, another man had asked me out on a date recently. I'd met him at work and was impressed by his quiet, dignified manner and the way he cared for his 94-year-old mother. However, I didn't "feel" him, if that makes sense. Even though he was right around my age, attractive, and a talented artist his emotional constitution, if you will, seemed so different from my own. He had a family who loved and nurtured him. I was hated from birth. Mr. 27.3 came home from combat in Vietnam to discover strangers living in his old house and the fact that his parents hadn't even bothered to leave a forwarding address. There is a strong commonality of experience I find with people who have no families. Something niggles at the back of my brain though, wondering if I should have gone out with the nice artist instead of mooning over the man whose childhood was as ugly as my own. However, I suspect it would not have gone well. The nice artist deserves someone who genuinely feels drawn to him. Not quite sure why I'm typing this other than because Hilary's query resounded with me on a level that I haven't quite sorted out yet.

This fellow wouldn't happen to be a Gemini, would he. Gleam in his eye, indeed.

You might not have any way of knowing, especially if the Gemini is his Moon or ascendant or somewhere other than his Sun. Geminis can be very flirty, but it's just their natural manner and they don't necessarily mean anything by it. How is anyone supposed to know that, though, so heaven forbid you take them seriously. *shakes head* (In fairness, they don't necessarily mean any harm at all, and also they can't help it. Most of us have things we can't help...no point being annoyed, I suppose.)

"what would be the effect of going to X place?" and received 26.3.5.6. To my possibly misguided eye this seemed like a magical reading, especially with 26.6 and hidden line of 41.5 included.

If there was a contest for "line most likely to mislead people," 26.6 might win. Look at the examples in WikiWing. It is not what it seems at casual glance, and it connects to hexagram 11, which also has a mind of its own (so to speak) (all of Yi has a mind of its own, of course) (but sometimes it's more obvious than others).

Now - sometimes it turns out really well in the end, in the bigger picture. Sometimes in hindsight if we compare the question we got it for to what ends up happening, that's apparent. E.g. my own example in WikiWing - a rapid recovery is vastly preferable to success in sending someone a little gift.

In your particular case, I wonder if it simply means that now you know it's over? Knowledge is power, and all that? You asked, "what would be the effect" - this is "an effect," technically...

hidden line of 41.5 included

Where are you getting that? I see that 41 is the zhi gua of 26.3, but how does 41.5 comes in?

 

[Liselle]

Slightly different way of thinking about 26.6 in this case - maybe what happened with this man was necessary to move you along "heaven's highway"? The always-delightful "learning experience"?

(I hope it's okay for our respect and appreciation for learning experiences to be rather grudging at times? )


Not trying to generalize - I don't think my 26.6 example in WikiWing was a learning experience, except about the line itself of course. In that one, it was the situation that moved lickety-split along heaven's highway.

 

[galatea11]

Hi Liselle,

Thank you for this:

Don't know if he's a Gemini but your words certainly sum up his personality and make me feel less foolish And thank you for the WikiWing link to 26.6 experiences because I hadn't seen it yet and I've received 26.6 twice this week.

My way of viewing 26.3.5.6>60 is to look at all the lines in 26 and also look at the "pathway" from 26 to 60 which is 26.3> 41.5> 61.6> 60. Hopefully I'm doing that correctly. Incidentally, 61.6 (which I think of as the "crowing cock" line) was quite in evidence yesterday when I overheard some rather braggadocious-type conversations at the place in question. I stayed really quiet which seemed in keeping with my reading of 26 (Great Restraint) leading to 60 (Limitation).

For the record, I don't know if my method of interpreting readings is more crackpot than most. I think tracing the line pathway between two hexagrams is called the "transitional" method but I'm not totally sure about that. Maybe I should request that @hilary; correct me if I'm wrong?

Btw.. a good thing did happen yesterday. At loose ends after my romantic hopes were extinguished I stopped in a pet supply store on the way home. One of my cats has been pulling out his fur - not sure if it's a food allergy or a psychological issue. Anyways, the proprietor recommended that I buy CBD oil and put it in his ear. I did so last night and saw no difference in his temperament before bed. This morning the same cat (who's often manic) is resting on my bed looking like HE's on Heaven's very Highway. Maybe this was the magical outcome (26.6) suggested (er, hoped for) in the 26>60 reading. I probably would not have made that CBD purchase if the events of the day had gone differently.

I think I've seen at least one other person use that on the forum, but I've never even tried it myself so I can't vouch for it or anything.

I'm glad he seems better, but - oh dear, at the risk of being a horrible nagging shrew (sorry :bag, it might be good to check with the vet and get a diagnosis? Eardrops won't help a food allergy, for example, and I think I'd worry about an oily mess in his ears causing them to block up, or an infection - I don't know that it would, of course, but...

 

[galatea11]

Hi Liselle,

You're not at all being a shrew and I always welcome pet advice. I shouldn't have described substance as an oil because it's actually a gel made specifically for animals. That said, I will text his vet this morning. She had suggested putting him on Prozac! Fur-pulling started after kitty's brother passed on in Feb - very hard time for all of us. I've made adjustments to his diet but suspect that issue is psychologically rooted. Here's an article about cannabis and cats: https://boulderholisticvet.com/cannabis-101-cbd-cat/

 

[Liselle]

It's a what what?

I'll be interested what the vet says, if you're willing to say... I'm actually not sure what I think about that vs. Prozac. To my knowledge Prozac isn't psychoactive in the same way... no one talks about getting "high" on Prozac, as far as I've ever heard.

But I've been very lucky not to have had a cat I thought was depressed or anxious (or, frankly, one who seemed to miss a departed cat that much, poor thing ). He clearly needs something.

P.S. Neither you nor kitty will end up arrested, I hope? *worries*

Yes, those are 'transitional hexagrams' - as simultaneously 'discovered' by Bradford Hatcher and I-think-it-was Mondo Secter. I've never got into them, as I'm way too intrigued by the stories, relationships and conversations among the lines you cast. But then you say you look at both? That's new to me. Do you get a different kind of information from the two kinds of line progression?

I'm very glad to hear the cat benefitted from the whole experience, anyway!

 

[rosada]

More thoughts on 26.6 and the meaning of "Heaven's Highway."
I think there is significance in 25 Innocence being fallowed by 26 Major Restraint.
25 Innocence describes the plight of some starry-eyed newbie foolishly leaving his cow unguarded (25.3) which is bad enough but we can see that even after that heart-wrenching experience, he did maintain his persevering cheerful nature (25.4, 25.5) but 25.6 he didn't learn a gosh darn thing from it all! If left on his own here he's gonna just keep on being this unteachable fool and naive innocence is no longer funny!!

So now 26. Danger is at hand and it's time for an intervention. Time for Major Restraint to figure out what went wrong.
After all, Superior men know the unexamined life is not worth living thus the Image for 26 says, the superior men share and discuss their experiences from the past so as to strengthen their character (grow up!). In other words it's..

26.1 Dangerous to continue charging ahead like some unteachable fool. - that only leads to more trouble and 18. Decay and the need to fix it.
26.2 So life says it's time to STOP and consider where this might all be headed, or to phrase it in I Ching terms, stop and 22. Visualize your intention.
26.3 Then before running out the door again first 26.3. Rehearse and review. Practice your presentation. Give the idea a few dry runs and of course 41. Decrease your desire to plunge ahead.
26.4 Not only will you become more adept at what you are planning on attempting, you'll also experience the 14 Extreme good fortune of maintaining possession of yourself instead of coming on like a giddy thirteen year old in heat.
26.5 Indeed, by practicing Great Restraint you will be able to 9. Outwardly manifest your best self.
26.6 Having thus mastered this important lesson and gotten your act together you are now ready to take it on the road - er - Highway!

So I'm seeing Heaven's Highway as the multi-laned freeway (indeed, about 6 billion lanes just for the human population) and everyone knows how to maneuver on there own path and thus 11 Peaceful journeys .. for a little while anyway.

So 26. Major Restraint does seem to be all about learning experiences and the major lesson seems to be talk to other people, compare notes, plan ahead, and ultimately everyone finds their right path. But ya gotta stop and think first!

I've also seen 26.6 Heaven's highway used by the I Ching to indicate the internet.

 

[rosada]

Just wanted to write that all out to help me sort out my thoughts on your question about what would be the effect of going to where you would see him. Of course hindsight is 20-20 but still just to work out this puzzle.

26.3.5.6 - 11
26.3 with the practicing daily line may refer to how you've now seen him in a variety of similar circumstances where neither one of you are making any moves to go forward, he's just practicing his chariot driving, reworking the same routine we've seen so far, pleasant looks but that's all, again and again and no advancement. So...

26.5 we have to assume this is it, twinkling is this gelded boar's whole act. Well, now you've seen it, now you can..

26.6 freely and easily move on.

-----
Best wishes to the cat!

 

[galatea11]

Thank you, @hilary;, for your comments. Most often the I Ching (perhaps mercifully) gives me one or no moving lines but the transitional method helps me understand how the primary and relating hexagrams connect to each other when there are a lot of moving lines. I've only been studying the I Ching since 2011 and have come to think, perhaps erroneously, that readings with many moving lines reflect situations that have a lot of moving parts, a lot of variables which may be beyond my control. Sometimes I wonder if different lines represent different people within a given situation. On this thread Rosada just beautifully traced the progression of the lines in 26 and I do agree that this was my path in this particular situation. But there seem to be other factors in the whole tableau too. As to the 61.6 encountered on the transition from 26 to 11 - well. there really was a loud, boastful conversation (crowing cock) in that room yesterday. In fact, it was the same cock I'd encountered a few weeks ago and he was saying the same stuff all over again. Don't know why I was meant to hear it twice. As for those twenty lucky tortoise shells in 41.5 I'm not really sure who got those - hopefully my cat who's snoozing on the couch right now

Not sure if my words are any clearer than mud but the transitional method intrigued me the first time I heard of it because sometimes I can't make sense of multi-line readings any other way.

Rosada, I really appreciate your taking the time to break down the 26>11 reading. Yesterday was cathartic because I was able to explore that situation, see where it was going (nowhere) and head off on my own 26.6 highway without feeling rejected or overly disappointed. There was a time I probably would have attached way more emotion to the situation so it was empowering to simply accept circumstances as they were and go to the pet supply store. Thank you again for such thoughtful commentary - I think you nailed it. Btw.. on more than one occasion the man in question has offered to help me with home repairs if I need anything done. Something told me not to take him up on it even though I have a ton of deferred maintenance. Maybe I was supposed to ask for his number? It makes me wonder why he'd want to approach that situation in such a semi-awkward manner. If he comes to fix my sink do I pay him for it? Do I not pay him for it? What do I pay him? If he wants to see me why doesn't he just ask me out for coffee? Does he want to be my handyman? Does he need money? I doubt it. And what of the "gelded boar"? Do I even want one? Lol.. your 26 pathway somehow just seems to just plow through all the questions: if this man wanted to date me then he would ask me out but he didn't so I don't need to worry about it anymore.

As for the cannabis gel, Liselle, well.. the vet said to keep using it if I think it helps him. She threw in a disclaimer that she "can not comment" specifically on it, probably because it's legal in the state where we live but illegal according to federal law. In any case, he only had the one dose last night and is doing pretty well today. Not sure if I will use it again. I took away all the pet beds and put out fresh, folded towels and blankets because I read about a potential dust mite allergy that can affect cats. His diet is currently restricted now too. One way or another I'll find out what's behind the fur-pulling.

Thank you so much to all who have offered insights and well wishes for my cat. I appreciate it more than I can say.

 

[Liselle]

41.5 is another line which I think can be confusing. (You've gotten two of those in the same reading, for goodness sake.) It's really easy to see it as "hooray!," but I think what it really means is something like "unanimity." Sometimes that can be "hooray!," but sometimes it's useful to think of it a lot more neutrally, if that makes any sense. In ancient China they used tortoise shells for divination (heated them until they cracked, then read the cracks), so 41.5 is saying that if that was done 10 times, all of the shell readings would agree.

I'd guess in this case it would mean you now have no doubt about what's going on; that's what the "effect" of going there seems to have been.

 

[galatea11]

Thank you for mentioning that, Liselle. I've received 41.5 on occasions where circumstances did not seem especially celebratory so that explanation does make sense. Is it a bit similar to 17.5 in that it validates one's own perception of a situation? Or am I off about that?

 

[moss elk]

Is it a bit similar to 17.5 in that it validates one's own perception of a situation?

17.5 does not inherently validate ones perception, unless your perception was that the person/place/thing/way was excellent.

For a validating of perception specifically, several times when I've asked exactly,
"Is my perception of this correct?" I've received 30 unchanging, as recently as last week.

 

[galatea11]

Wow, thank you, Moss Elk. I just found 3 instances of 30UC in my journal, all in 2017 and all appearing after I'd written my impressions about previous specific readings. At the time I did not understand just how strong the validation was.

 

[Liselle]

Bradford Hatcher has said in forum comments that 17.5 means to set high standards. I've found that useful at times (usually when I'm not doing that, but I ought to be uch.

 

[moss elk]

Wow, thank you, Moss Elk. I just found 3 instances of 30UC in my journal, all in 2017 and all appearing after I'd written my impressions about previous specific readings. At the time I did not understand just how strong the validation was.

Same with me last week: I was contemplating three related readings that had stumped me for a few weeks.
I had a flash of insight, and thought I comprehended them.
I excitedly asked, "Is this right? Am I seeing this correctly?"
30 un told me I was.

 

[galatea11]

Thanks, Liselle. I had a particular insight about 41.5 last night - suddenly it applied to a certain situation and just made perfect sense.

Moss Elk, I'm so glad you posted that about 30UC. Funny I have record of seeing it 3 times in one year but not before or since.. lol. Interestingly, I received it in one instance about my understanding of 26, a hexagram which became pertinent to this thread. Guess I understood 26 a bit better back then so I'm glad I had a chance to review those old thoughts

 

[galatea11]

Greetings, hope it's ok if I add an additional query onto this thread. 41.5, 17.5 and 30UC have all been discussed here in regard to whether or not they validate one's perception. And then yesterday 49.5 showed up (amongst other lines) in my daily reading:

Liu: The great man transforms himself like a tiger. Even before prediction by the oracle, people will believe him.
Wu: The great man makes changes like a tiger. He is confident of success even without divination.
Wilhelm/Baynes: The great man changes like a tiger. Even before he questions the oracle he is believed.

Is 49.5 another line of confirmation, validating one's own thought process on a given subject or am I misinterpreting? Thank you in advance for any thoughts.

Incidentally, this thread arose out of a 22.5>37 reading which perplexed me a week or so ago. Prior to that I have no record of receiving 22>37 before. This morning I received 22>37 as my daily reading. Yi might be winking at me, not sure. Yesterday I dressed up like a heavy metal band groupie from 1987 to attend my music-loving friend's divorce party. Her husband had left her in an especially cruel manner a few years ago and now she's reclaiming her life in grand fashion. Most people attending the party dressed to raise eyebrows and help her celebrate. When my groggy eyes saw 22>37 this morning I wondered if Yi was saying: "You had your fun yesterday. Now tone it down, simplify things (22.5) and take care of your family (37.)" When I stumbled home last night I could barely summon the motor skills to feed the cats and fish

 

[Liselle]

Is 49.5 another line of confirmation, validating one's own thought process on a given subject

In one word: Yes.

In more words: given yesterday's circumstances, getting a daily reading which says "changing like a tiger" / putting on a tiger skin, and then dressing as you did for the party, go together very well, I think. So I'd say Yi was probably endorsing your choice of outfit and persona .

This morning I received 22>37 as my daily reading. Yi might be winking at me, not sure. [...] When my groggy eyes saw 22>37 this morning I wondered if Yi was saying: "You had your fun yesterday.

Hm. Well...that seems a little unnecessary, unless you were planning on not feeding anyone lol. Maybe it just means that doing the bare minimum essentials is okay, since you're tired?

 

[galatea11]

Thank you, Liselle. I love the validation of 49.5

It was a bit odd to see 22.5>37 pop up again but I've been getting quite a few repeated readings lately. Is Yi telling me to reexamine them more closely? Even before this morning's 22>37 I'd been intending to devote the day to housework and home fix-up because my seasonal job ended just 2 weeks ago and I still haven't caught up on things. Someone else just posted a 22>37 reading in this forum and I'm interested to follow that thread. Any reading with 22 seems to have something of a nebulous element to it - something that I just don't "get" yet. In part, that may be because I've rarely seen 22 until recently. For years I've been living under the auspices of Hexagrams 28 and 44. And trying to figure out how exactly one shows Restraint (44) in a Collapsing Situation (28). Even bought a bracelet with a tree to honor the spirit of that submerged tree in 28.6. Feels like the floodwaters are now receding but I don't yet comprehended what 22 has come to tell me.

 

[Liselle]

It was a bit odd to see 22.5>37 pop up again but I've been getting quite a few repeated readings lately. Is Yi telling me to reexamine them more closely?

Maybe, I don't really know. At the very least, if you look at the repeated ones in a group, you might understand the line or hexagram better because you're seeing a lot of examples, in different contexts. There will be something that all the situations have in common - has to be, or the same reading wouldn't apply to all of them. But it doesn't necessarily have to have any huge, deep meaning, I don't think.

 

[galatea11]

Greetings,

Much of the advice and interpretations on this thread were spot on. For weeks I continued to see Mr. X (subject of this thread) around town and, although he flirted very heavily with me, he did not ask me out. On May 13 I wrote in my journal that I "would simply let Mr. X take the lead" in the situation and see where it goes. Yi responded with 30UC, a reading which Moss Elk had cited earlier in this thread as validation for an expressed viewpoint.

Well, yesterday Mr. X invited me over to his house to watch a movie. He picked me up from work and within moments of starting the drive Mr. X turned to me and said: "You know I am married, right?" I managed to pull my knees completely upward on the seat and turn sideways to stare him in the face. For a minute or two I couldn't even speak and he filled the silence with some half-assed explanations. "Do you have an open marriage?" I finally asked him, wondering if he and his wife were swingers or something. "No." he responded. "This would have to be completely secret." I launched into so many questions that he asked if I wanted to go to a restaurant. Probably he was hoping that I would have a cocktail and relax but I ordered a glass of water and grilled him about everything just to satisfy my curiosity. (Why on earth would you suggest taking me to the house that you share with your wife? How do you explain being seen at a local restaurant with another woman if you run into someone you know? How would you feel if you found out that your wife was cheating on you?) He answered everything, described a sexless marriage, and expressed his desire to avoid the financial upheaval which would accompany a divorce but who knows what is true. Afterward he dropped me off at my car and I told him that I was grateful for his honesty, if nothing else. Case closed.

There was so much good advice on this thread but two particular interpretations jumped out at me just now when I reread everything:

Hilary on 27.3>22 - to be preoccupied with him is like rejecting nourishment. Which it could be... I mean, this is something people do: fixate on something/ someone unavailable, something that clearly isn't real and never could be (eg someone you've never spoken to, someone married...

Moss Elk - If you keep getting 22's about him,
it is likely that you are enamored by appearances or his wealth or status,
and not seeing the true picture of him.
(which is the warning in 22's image)

Maybe I should have seen all this coming but I guess I was just high on "hope-ium". I feel a bit foolish and disappointed but truly am grateful that he did reveal his marriage. Many thanks to all those who responded to this thread.

 

[rosada]

Wow! Thanks for the update.
From now on I'm saying 22. means "Beware of rose-colored glasses"!

 

[galatea11]

Agreed, Rosada. Me too

 

[Sofocles]

It's a very good question. I would say is adornment, living the beauty and simple things of life. Even though the means for it are simple, even though you may go there to not be very noticed (at least this time), but to enjoy and indulge in this.
the transformed Hex seems to suggest that everything falls into place in the sense that people take up their roles, but not sure what that would mean in this particular scenario.
