24 Fu with changing line 5 for meditation

[Endless]

Hi ! I know this is a very specific matter, but maybe you won't mind if I share with you the answer Yi gave me in a context of autoexamination through meditation.

When it comes to meditation, I can apply Yi's responses much more accurately to myself for obvious reasons. I also found this a good way to learn about the hexagrams as they reflect exactly my mental state at the moment of the inquiry. I think our dialogues have enriched to the extend that sometimes I associated this as a sort of friendship, specially when I feel conforted with the answer.

Today was the return after a time of confusion ( I'm sure it wasn't Confucio who invented it), which was beautifully painted in 24.5>3. It's nice to see it pictorically, as some of the emblems some of you provide eventually, though it would be a bit more complicate to depict a mutation.

In this case I feel a storm in my head so that I need to come back to my inner balance to take shelter. It's like if I went too deep into the forest despite the storm warning. And I didn't get myself safe when I had to. But happily I found the way back home before it gets too hard and none is to blame about it.
Do you agree ?
Have a good week !

I completely agree, the noble return.

Richmond:
The nobleness of this return is symbolic of the withdrawal of self interest, of priority to the way we are feeling, allowing it to die away with a readiness to take on something new. As this opens out into new activity in the coming cycle there is no regret.

In previous lines the subject doesn't want to return, but in 5 (and 6, with a bonus of joy) he comes home by himself.
Exactly like you have written about a trip to the forest.


The meditation clears your mind, and when asking Yi - it makes your question clearer, more concentrated and the crystal clear response follows.

Thank you Ash for your nice inputs !
Today Yi's response was extremely gentle and for me this is a signal that I'm doing well. Sometimes when I get habituated to well doing is like if nothing happens and then I begin to get stressed but this time I intend to be aware.
Bests,
