29.4>47 What does someone smarter den me tink?

[deedeebird]

Hello everyone,

I seem to be in a time of 40 with a lot of different things beginning to shift in my life. I feel excited by the changes and to some degree am experiencing the opposite of a spiritual crisis, but still I find it hard to push doubt and fear completely over the cliff. 90% of me believes the changes coming my way are good ones, if not Heaven blessed; 10% of me thinks that that 90% is full of poo.

Today I asked, because this is how it feels, "What is being spooned onto my plate?"
The answer: 1 Unchanging.

Later I asked, because I wanted more info, "Where is 1 (Hex 1/ The One) leading?"
The answer: 29.4>47.

I read the thread on 29.4, but as always there seem to be several takes. My immediate reaction led me to think of X, a man I love but am currently not in touch with. When I tried to think about what 29.4 meant, I saw this image of X handing me something through my window. I know, however, that emotions/wants have a funny way of messing with the mind, and so on second thought I came to the conclusion that the line meant I should ask God to help me prosper during this period of change without asking/telling God what changes to make. In relation to what I read in the thread, this would make sense because I would in essence be acting without attaching strings.

What I need to know now is, What does someone smarter den me tink?

Are people telling you that you are still the life of the party?

 

[deedeebird]

I don't know, are they?

Thanks for that. Nice distraction during work tomorrow, guaranteed by that seemingly very strange question.

I was just at a big family party, a reunion of sorts indeed, but what it has to do with my question, I'll need some time, and an aspirin, to discern.

Yes, indeedy, the old girl's got a lot of mileage in her still.

Think how it all relates to Hex 1.

I was fired today for staring out the window (get it?) while pondering 29.4.
Knock on wood, may that never happen, I'm kidding but of course.

Well, I have many thoughts on the reading and they're all quite nice, like I understand that Hex 1 is about being ceaseless with energy, untiring, while 47 is about exhaustion. So my question about where Hex 1 is taking me could be interpreted as, It's taking me into a new cycle of life. Is it fair to say I am directing the path of my life at a time when my direction is well heeded?

At any rate, I still don't really get 29.4 and maybe it's not so important for me to understand it, but today I asked for clarification on that line and received 3.3>63.

In an attempt to put the whole thing together, I've come up with something along the lines (get it?) of: A rebirth of sorts is taking place, it's powerful yet subtle, as if emerging from a very tiny stream of light in an otherwise dark room. I guess the light could stand for "hope" or "God" or "intuition."

All of this may be correct, but I wish I could be more to the point and less obtuse--still difficult for me with most of the I Ching changing lines.

By the way, on a completely separate note, I wanted to thank you for the giggles yesterday on your plastic surgery post. I nearly peed my pants when I saw your answer and then to have her ask why you think she needs it after she was the one who posed the question? And then on top of that to have people act like you are "mean" for answering the way you did? Too funny, Foxy, you crack me up.

Hex 1 seems like an affirmation that heaven is blessing you with the changes coming your way. I like your 10/90% equation; very honest.

Later I asked, because I wanted more info, "Where is 1 (Hex 1/ The One) leading?"
The answer: 29.4>47.

I read the thread on 29.4, but as always there seem to be several takes. My immediate reaction led me to think of X, a man I love but am currently not in touch with. When I tried to think about what 29.4 meant, I saw this image of X handing me something through my window.

This to me reads as a self fulfillment of your wishes. Is a fulfilled wish hard to believe?

29.4 is the Creative's way of speaking and moving in your life. That's the question you had asked, right? Where is 1 leading, and perhaps also how is 1 leading? 29.4 offers a beautiful answer to that: the blessing comes to you as a gift handed down through a window - just as you had imagined X doing. Often times the object of our earthly interest is mentally and emotionally attached to our inner world, whereas a significant real life figure takes on a symbolic or mythical inner role. Or, perhaps it is first our inner model, which we seek, and maybe project (oops..) into someone we meet. Either way, it's all part of how the Creative works.

Thanks for your wisdom.

"Is a fulfilled wish hard to believe?"

Yes, because the wish has yet to be fulfilled. The feeling, the movement of Hex 1 provides a sense that perhaps it is going to be. Is that hard to believe? You betchya, because the wish itself is about 35 years old!

I have more experience in life with Hex 2. I know that feeling well. If Hex 1 is seen as a rapidly moving dragon, then Hex 2 is in my estimation like being a wall in the maze where the dragon moves. The wall completely trusts the dragon not to run into it, which is really something, but it's also about all the wall can do.

The last time I felt what I associate with Hex 1 was a very long time ago. I don't know how to understand it, but I'm trying to get comfortable with the feeling. I want to know how to make the most of it, but am truthfully unsure. It is about action, but whose? The action of God, the action of me, or both? Having something handed to you through a window sounds like all you have to do is keep the window open to receive it, but how is that different from Hex 2?

When I asked where Hex 1 is taking me, I meant in the sense that I have changes coming at me in various aspects of my life, but am not sure which area of life is really going to be effected on a grand, Hex 1 scale. For instance, my car is having trouble so I might need to replace it, and that is a big deal for me, but certainly not on a spiritual level. I wanted the answer to refer to love so my fear is that I saw the answer in the light I wanted to see it rather than what is true.

This morning, after reading your response, I asked the Yi which specific area of my life would be most effected by Hex 1? The answer I got was 53.1.4>13.

Do you know what it's like to want something all your life and put all sorts of work into it and then, one day, to finally see it manifest? I don't know what that's like, which makes the whole thing 90% magical, 10% terrifying. (I believe anyone who claims to have 100% faith, courage, etc, is at least 10% in denial.)

I cannot thank you enough. Let me know if you have any other thoughts on the matter.

"Often times the object of our earthly interest is mentally and emotionally attached to our inner world, whereas a significant real life figure takes on a symbolic or mythical inner role."


When you say "the object of our earthly interest" do you mean a superficial attraction? Versus then a "significant real life figure" as in someone you truly connect with?

Can you clarify? I think this is key to my situation.

Hi deedee. Sorry it's taken so long to get back.

Thanks for your wisdom.

Yes, because the wish has yet to be fulfilled. The feeling, the movement of Hex 1 provides a sense that perhaps it is going to be. Is that hard to believe? You betchya, because the wish itself is about 35 years old!

Oh, ye of little faith. hahaha, just kidding!

I have more experience in life with Hex 2. I know that feeling well. If Hex 1 is seen as a rapidly moving dragon, then Hex 2 is in my estimation like being a wall in the maze where the dragon moves. The wall completely trusts the dragon not to run into it, which is really something, but it's also about all the wall can do.

Good observation, that 2 provides the space for 1 to exist.

The last time I felt what I associate with Hex 1 was a very long time ago. I don't know how to understand it, but I'm trying to get comfortable with the feeling. I want to know how to make the most of it, but am truthfully unsure. It is about action, but whose? The action of God, the action of me, or both? Having something handed to you through a window sounds like all you have to do is keep the window open to receive it, but how is that different from Hex 2?

Imo, that is 2. It's no different. That openness to what you can't name or explain, yet it is always present.

When I asked where Hex 1 is taking me, I meant in the sense that I have changes coming at me in various aspects of my life, but am not sure which area of life is really going to be effected on a grand, Hex 1 scale. For instance, my car is having trouble so I might need to replace it, and that is a big deal for me, but certainly not on a spiritual level. I wanted the answer to refer to love so my fear is that I saw the answer in the light I wanted to see it rather than what is true.

While 1 is grand, 1 doesn't have to refer to a grand scale. I mean, "grand" is pretty relative, right? What's important to one means nothing to another. For example, a dream could be said to come from 1, or even be a manifestation of 1. A big important dream would be a big one, but even the smallest creation comes from 1.

This morning, after reading your response, I asked the Yi which specific area of my life would be most effected by Hex 1? The answer I got was 53.1.4>13.

Steady as she goes brings you into relationship. So I gather that the progress is in the area of relationships and associations.

Do you know what it's like to want something all your life and put all sorts of work into it and then, one day, to finally see it manifest?

Yup, I do. Very gradually, a little bit each day.

13 is more suggestive of general or shared interests, rather than a personal or intimate relationship. But I never take those kinds of things as absolutes.

What I meant was, and this comes from by own belief, that whomever we meet, that becomes a significant person to us, is an outward manifestation of a part of our inner self. So in that sense, having a relationship with another or others is having relationships with parts of yourself.

Is this true? It's not something I can prove, but it's something that appears true to me. You asked a question, I offered an answer. How are those two not one? Without a question, there simply is no answer. 2 creates 1 just as 1 creates 2.
