24.6 >27

[anemos]

I saw an old movie the other day , "A touch of spice" and a quote reminded me of 24.6>27

Its probably Greek for you , but thought to share it here. In my eyes, bring together in a nice way both hexagrams.

"Appetizers are similar to stories which tell of far away journey's flavours and aromas seduce your senses and prepare you for an adventurous journey. That's why the Greek word for return ( επιστροφή) conceals within it the word turn( στροφή), which conceals within it the word food.( τροφή) ~ A Touch of Spice"

I received 24.6 as a part of a reading recently, and one word resonated with the situation at hand was "survival". I can see that in both hex ( 24 and 27) Perhaps there are other hex or lines closer to the word "survive" but self-preservation could be found on 24.6 and 27.6.... I think.

so... 24.6 >27 as survival. Any thoughts?

I like that. I've seen the survival aspect also. In 27.6, you get what you need for survival and the line cautions you not to forget how hard things were before you got this. 24.6 can come as a warning that if you dont take immediate measures, or even in a relationship reading, if you react with extreme negativity for example, you could lose a relationship that is very necessary for your well-being.
Thanks for this post!

I think 'survival' is very relevant to 24.6. Something has been overly stretched or reacted to, something probably unfounded and ungrounded in reality; someone has been too ambitious and the ambition has displaced the more essential responsibility of nourishing. If it took a whole cycle to get here, it'll likely take another whole cycle to get back to square one, and in many cases, that's unlikely. Animals and people, herd or tribe, move on to greener pastures

The good side is that you'll no longer be consumed by it, whatever it was that was so important.

thanks

I see the "alert ! alert!" aspect in 24.6, as you also said. Its a time for a U-turn , at least thats how I experienced it. keeping on the same course seems will lead to disastrous consequences. Its a time to re-consider what "well-being" means to one.

yeah, i see it like that too. there is a time to choose between self perseverance vs self destruction. Bradford's examples of Napoleon and Hitler are very representative of how a wrong turn can affect a course. Ambition, stubbornness somehow obscure clarity or the survival instinct to surface. they may lead one to make the wrong choice between fight or flight.

its interesting you mentioned the word "reality" because I see this line also as a "reality-check" too, a way to read hex's 27 judgement.

Once I had a fish tank in my office. one day two new fishes were born. We didn't have the new-born tank in hand so they had to stay between the other fishes with the danger to get eaten. the one fish was pretty stupid. swimming carelessly , the other was hiding in the plan'ts leaves. I was impressed from its survival instinct.That fish managed to save its life as for the other it become a good meal for another fish in the tank.

:bows: love the example.

In my life there have been milestone readings, hopefully ones that are set in the right direction. For 24.6-27 it wasn't even my reading, but a pivotal point reading that the leader of our musical group project received, at which point he threw up his hands, said we're all kidding ourselves, and there's no point in continuing seeking dreams. I quietly agreed with his assessment, but included his blinding and overbearing ambition in the picture. The other members (including me) wanted to have fun, invent, experiment, play, as that's where the magic came from in the first place. He thought I was absolutely crazy to have another go at it after he declared all is vanity. So to him, I was missing the return. To me, he had missed returning to our roots, our core, where creativity comes from - 27. He quit to survive. I kept going to survive.

Nice 24.6 story ! thanks for sharing it

He quit to survive. I kept going to survive.

This is how it felt to me but in my case your "he" and "I" inhabit in the same entity, mine.

a friend of mine sometime ago informed me about a workshop she knew I always wanted to attend and asked me If i wanted to go together with her. I postponed to enroll because because of a physical condition was not really very wise to do it at the specific moment. anyway I think they didn't run it because of a small participation.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to give to myself a second chance. I enrolled without thinking much late i the afternoon. Around midnight of the same day I was cleaning my spam folder and i saw a notice saying I could go the next morning. and because I need to find a way to get there and at this time of the day was not possible. I asked Yi and got 24.5.6> 42. I wasn't really sure what line 6 meant but the reading sounded to me as "go !" and i tried hard to find a way to be there and i did. But arriving there, an unpleasant surprise was waiting me. The studio was in the 3rd floor and the only way to get there was stairs. uuuurggghhh !!! Without going into details stairs are something I had to avoid for a long time and not an easy climb nowdays. And then 24.6 popped into my mind when I was thinking what to do "leave or climb"

This endeavor had more that one layers. If I would climb those stairs out of stubbornness and were missing a loud warning the consequences wouldn't be pleasant and survival instinct # 1 said no. But I "saw" also another obstinacy and survival instinct #2 said go and this is what i did. While climbing those stairs I knew I took the right decision and little things here and there somehow affirmed it. The funny thing was that those instincts were personified by two persons were around me. A naysayer and a yessayer.

In the archives while looking for info about this line , i read someone saying they didn't wish to get this line. In my case I think i was very lucky to get 24.6. perhaps in my case was the combination or lines and hexs. Yet, for me is another proof that there are not good and bad lines.
