Hello Fellow Seekers,

I'm into this 2-month relationship with a guy from New Zealand and I keep drawing hex 22 for the future of this reltionship. He's cuddly, sweet, supportive, successful, committed and romantic, the only drawback being his paunch. Never had a lover with a paunch, but he makes me happy. Is 22 referring to this attachment I have to appearances? That I ought to transcend it and look at the content, not the cover?

Hi Anita...

I just popped in to say Hi and that I'm happy to hear you're enjoying a new friendship. I see your intuition and self-awareness are as strong as ever.

I do have something to add. I don't believe the Yi is advising you to transcend or anything else. I think the Yi is simply telling you what is in their usual nonjudgemental fashion. 22 is the story of a poor man courting a woman to become his bride.

I only have Freeman Crouch's book with me today, and I find his interpretation of 22.0 especially fitting to your situation. Actually, it's rather uncanny how well it fits.

<blockquote>A poor bridegroom goes to his wedding. He is to marry into a well-to-do family. His gifts are scanty, and there is a moment of distress. But it is favorable to go the bride's home country...

You enter an alliance as the weaker party, but potentially this is an auspicious arrangement. For you and those who rely on you this may work out well, but be prepared to move.

Bring your enthusiasm and character and heart to the alliance you are considering. But be careful what colors you fly when you arrive.</blockquote>

Love,

Val

Hi Val,

Thanks so much for your help. Yes, it does sound uncannily accurate, doesn't it? What does your last sentence mean though? What colours I wear? Does that mean I'd better not be too glamourous?

Hi again Anita...

That line is from Freeman's book... and I'm really not sure what he's intimating, though I would love to know.

He tells the story of the Zhou conquest over the Shang in his interpretations. I think being conscious of the colors you fly might mean don't wave any flags or banners that will not further the alliance (between you and him). It could apply to dress I suppose... sure, as well as other things that will probably become apparent to you over time.

Love,

Val

Hi Anita. You said he makes you happy, this is wonderful. It may simply be, that this is a beautiful relationship. You with all that beauty, he with the pauch, well, somewhere it evens out.

22 is a beautiful reading for a relationship.

simple and pure, being seen for who you really are...
barefoot, proud and all on your own merits... a pristine ceremony of purest joy and a lack of fanfare.
good luck

Well read, dear friends! Glad you weren't shy about reading against gender.

I wonder, Anita, what is the foundering carriage from which you are walking to your new bride. In the Zhou Conquest story, its the old order of things that's being overthrown.

from a universal perspective, 22 shares space with 36 - both deal with covering up something. 36 is unconditional, the current times are not right for the 'inner light' to show. 22 is conditional in that it includes drawing attention away from what is 'behind' the mask to the mask itself (and so besides representing beauty also represents facading, glossing-over etc etc)

Within the FIRE octet, the resolution of 36 is 13 - associating with the likeminded, and the resolution of 22 is 49 - revealing what is behind the mask, the 'true' nature, be it good or bad.

Chris.

Thanks everyone for your help with 22. Now I know even more!

Freemanc, what is that old carriage? My old life. I have two divorces behind me and the broken shards of a love affair I thought would be forever. It made me realise that I will probably never be 'in love' again. but love, I can, and I will. Perhaps this is as it should be - no attachment. Or call it attachment with a degree of detachment.

Yes, he does love me for not wearing a mask. And besides my physical self, he revels in my spiritual side. Perfect, isn't it? And so I overlook the paunch.
