Hey people - hope you're all well.

I'm putting together a new little project with my fellow film buddies, using some of the material my dad wrote before he died.

My dad struggled so much with his script - that I hope there's no bad energy attached to it. (His whole purpose in life was to have this film made and when he finally got the funding, he died!!)

So I asked the i-ching, "Will the universe approve of me making X?"

Answer I got is:

32.3.4.5 > 29

I know 29 is associated with a lot of stress. Though I'm not entirely sure what to make of all the changing lines. I guess line 3 shows some inconstancy on my part.... number four points to impatience?

I don't understand number 5, 'cos even though I'm 30 I feel like I'm both the mature woman and the young man in the description.

Does anyone think it's possible that the Yi could be referring to the steps that the story should take? Since the piece is about the endurance of 5 characters. There is a mature character in the story who turns up at the end.

I have noticed that sometimes the I-ching ignores a stupid question and points out something more important.

sorry - I want to add. I think I kind of get some of it

The very fact that I asked the i-ching shows I'm too easily swayed by external answers (that's what line 3 is saying I think).... and have spiritual insecurity.

I wonder if the "shameful gift" in line 3 refers to the material I hijacked from my dad.

Line 4 could be saying that whatever I'm looking for - I'm looking for it in the wrong place? Damn it - there's something I'm doing wrong!

Still need to figure out line 5!

Sorry - just thought I'd share these extra thoughts!

My very first thought is well why not do it anyway ? Often us I Chingers get to the point we ask for 'permission' or approval for things there can be no harm from doing anyway. So I think if you want to do this then this cast is not a reason not to do it.

But looking at the cast again I think you're right. I think this may be emotionally too stressful for you right now.

When there are a few moving lines it is good to consider the change patterns. Here the yang pattern is 31 and the yin pattern 41. These are the hexagrams you'd see if you made all change lines yang/all change lines yin. These are like the swing doors in and out of the reading. So you feel very drawn to do this but 31 often carries the stress of emotional pulls back and forth. The door through/way out is 41 suggesting you pour less energy in and you reduce your emotional temperature.

This is a stressful cast IMO. There is 29 as relating showing in some ways this is dangerous territory for you. In 32.3 one often has to question one's motives. If you were doing this in any way 'for' your father to make something up to him or that you feel you owe him, then re think. Your feelings about your father may matter here. I don't know what these are but often we just aren't being quite truthful with ourselves with this line or it can be we are just looking for whatever is most convenient rather than honouring our real values. 32.4 quite plainly states there 'is no game in the field'. So there is nothing for you here it seems, you are looking in the wrong place. 32.5 is a tricky one but it might be a call to decide whether you want to explore and be innovative like the young man not tied to commitments or whether you are more like the mature woman ready to settle down.

With 3 moving lines I wouldn't place huge emphasis on any of them but rather get a feel for the cast.

To me this looks like it might be quite hard, quite stressful and may not even be fruitful.


Having said all that as I said in the beginning what harm is there to try ? What's the worse that can happen if you try and it doesn't work ? If you do go ahead though I think everyone needs to calm the energy around it down a bit, take it a bit slower, don't pour all your energy into it. If it didn't work out might you be upset ? The cast could sort of look like that. So I think if you go for this take it steady and don't force anything. Also be prepared to shelve it for a while if it feels like the wrong time. It may all work out a bit better later on when you tackle it a different way perhaps.

Awwww thank you Trojina.

It's very kind of you to spend time writing such a detailed and thoughtful answer - which you usually do. I think you're right - I shouldn't put all my eggs in one basket and force things.

Even though I'm not doing it only for my dad, if I am to use any of his material - I do want to treat it respectfully... since he did devote his life to his work. Part of me feels that I hijacked some of it out of convenience - since I thought "this material is pretty good and rather than it sitting here collecting dust, I can take some of these characters and create something new". So you made a good point, my feelings about it are deeper than I thought.

There's a lot of good stuff in what you've pointed out - so thank you!!
