Hi everyone, I’m coming with a new question here. Hope to gain some insight :) I’m having a problem with the number of readings i am casting because sometimes the answers are really contradicting themselves like I’m speaking to many people and some of them want me happy and some others sad. Anyway, i have promised myself to ask one last question, at least for a while, regarding this topic and here it is: I’m on the right path regarding this person?

And when i asked i knew that there’s no right path and no wrong path neither, but i knew that the I Ching will recognise what i mean with this question and the answer is indeed astonishing: 38.2>21!! It’s amazing how this line speaks about a meeting on a street (way, or path, how do you want to call it). Personally, I would interpret this one as being favorable because yin and yang are in their proper place. But seeing other interpretations will be of great help for me right now! I’m in a situation with this person and everything is so against the odds. At first sight everyone would tell me that Im on the “wrong” path, i think that if i wouldn’t be in the situation i will maybe think the same. But i am living this, and i know what happened and i feel that there is more about it. More than merely apparences. I feel great potential regarding him, but sometimes worries are succeding. Even if time was extremely limited, this person has been a teacher for me for the very first moment. And he taught me about myself! A romantic master, maybe..

PS: i just want to know that what i’m doing now wont be in vain... thanks everyone for your time and knowledge!

So he is married, huh?

You have a rough road ahead of you believing there are no wrong paths.

Moss Elk: The road is wrong only if you want it to be :) the only real thing about it is that it’s a road. and no... he is not. This would have been a happy outcome.

The 'path' in line 38.2 is a narrow alley - sometimes it means that you only know this person digitally. The line describes an informal chance meeting. When this line changes, the resulting hexagram is 21, which is about pain, punishment. If you're after a meaningless meeting which leads to pain, then yes you're on the right path.

Hi @diamanda You’re right. I know this person more digitally than in real life and we’ve only seen each other a few times. But our last meeting was the best of my life. Meaningless would be the last word i would describe it with. Now i’m in pain and this is true... but he is in more i will ever be. And how time is always changing, the brightest sunshine will come after all this rain!

Anyway.. im not sure if you’re funny with your last sentence. Are you using sarcasm, or are you serious about it. Like.. this situation is part of the path and this is simply how things had to happen??

I'm really sorry to hear you're in pain. I won't comment any further because we fundamentally disagree on life philosophy. From what you write, you seem to believe that there's no right or wrong, and also that life is fatalistic (things have to happen in a certain way), and also that something good can come out of a new situation which already looks dodgy, plus, you seem to believe that a great relationship can start abruptly and quickly become something serious.

You know him mostly from the internet...
now it makes sense.
The 'net is the 'alley' you are meeting him in.

Hello Arcana Mundi!

38.2 indicates "no blame"; so the path isn't wrong.
"Wing: An unexpected or accidental encounter with an important idea or person will benefit you. There is a natural attraction at work here, although a direct approach would have been inconceivable or impossible."

Good luck!

@moss elk Yes! You’re right... we mostly know each other through writing.

@marybluesky hey!! I’m really grateful to read your reply. I was feeling really blue today and seeing your interpretation right now was perfect timing. It changed my mood and made a difference. For better of course. :)

Agreeing with Mary Bluesky

As Moss Elk infers there are many wrong paths. Ones where we harm ourselves and others which take us away from places we need to be to fulfil ourselves.

Yijing does not always indicate painless paths either. Sometimes it encourages us into situations which we find painful, or difficult to equip us for our greater journey. Fortunately, in my experience, the latter is less common and always we are warned it will be hard as well.

38.2>21
38 I prefer the translation of 38 as Diverging here and that is what the trigrams are doing. The lower trigram lake is moving downwards. The upper trigram Li, fire above it is rising. (Lake always descends and Li always rises.) They are diverging from each other. They are not in oppositional conflict. When the time of Hx.37 Dwelling People is over then it is time to depart. Diverging from the home.

Line 2 Meeting the hidden lord in the alley. This is not a mistake.

Line 2 changes to Hx.21Gnawing - Biting through.
You have to gnaw through the problem blocking your way. See the strong line in line 4? if that were a yin line the hexagram would be Jaws / Nourishing - Taking in nourishment. This strong line in 21.4 is the obstruction to be gnawed through to enable the nourishing time to begin. The augury for this is that you can be successful in doing this. However, work is needed.

Note too that bright seeing and understanding is the upper trigram for both hexagrams. So it is that I think you are very aware of the situation and what it all means both before and after the change. You have your eyes wide open.

Great stuff!

A word of warning. A reading has a life span. Right now gnawing through the obstacles is the thing to do. Time moves on and situations can change. Keep your bright mind in gear please!

Good Luck

@diamanda - The alley as the internet - impressive insight - I would have missed that. :zen:

@kevin - also check out things like 'his device' in 59.2, the 'gifts through the window' in 29.5, the 'jade tablet' in 42.3. I Ching is very cheeky.

Very good.
I'm not sure about 59.2... Where is the device? 59.2 is about fleeing to what supports one. See Wilhelm Baines, Hillary Barrett, etc.

Thanks for the insight.

Be well.

Dear @kevin,

Sorry for the late reply. I’m a newbie on this website and haven’t checked my account in a while. I have only seen it now.

Thanks for it, by the way! I really like your interpretation, and your way of seeing the bigger picture! It is really fitting the situation i am in, and the way you saw the yang line as a barrier for nourishment has oppened my eyes too. Sadly, i think that actively there is nothing i can do right now. And Maybe that’s the point. It may be that the barrier to nourishement is me, being too active in this situation where i should be more submissive, passive.

My life philosophy is pretty turned upside down right now and i don’t really know what to believe anymore, but i feel that i have to be faithful and confident. When i am feeling this way, is like operating from another frequency and everything Changes. Oh, life is the ultimate mind game you’ll ever play.

Thanks again! May the outcome be as you said it will! That would be a happy plottwist afterall.

-Arcanna Mundi

It sounds like things are tough for you right now. I'm sorry to hear that.

I do hope you keep using your Yijing. After some 45 years of use I know it as the strategy tool for difficult times.

Good luck

Kevin

Yeah! But times are changing aren’t they? Hope they will for their best because they’re already overwhelming. I just want to be more in control with whats happening right now.

And yeah, I really find the I Ching amazing. There is so much complexity in Eastern wisdom and it’s fascinating. It is believed that Confucius himself said if he only knew he will have some 30 years more, he will definitely have invested them with the I Ching. Great minds like Terence McKenna or C G Jung have studied it aswell. I’m sure they didn’t made it without a purpose. But it remains the querent’s duty to ask what is truely appropiate!

Thanks again! Wish you the best!
