Hi everyone,
I moved to a new city to do the training for a new job. My son lives in this city and it made sense that I stay at his house for the few months that I need to be here. I have not decided whether I want to stay here permanently or move, it dosen't matter for my job because I work on the internet from my home. There are other aspects about this town that I am interested in, so it may be that I choose to stay here anyway.
My son's girlfriend unexpectedly left college in another city and moved in to the house with us. I felt a little awkward about it, but my son won't hear of me moving. I know that he really does like having me here--he loves my company and he likes it because I cook and clean and he feels greatly benefited by my doing this. His girlfriend is not a very domestic type and shuns housekeeping completely.
I asked the IC about staying here or moving to a rented room elsewhere in town and I got 41 line 3. "Groups of three create jealousy, but if one remains alone, he is sure to find a companion."
What I find really powerful to me about this is that, right now, there is no trouble here. But the IC works off of natural law. Eventually, 41 line 3 is destined to 'kick in'. This is what I find most valuable about using the IC. If we know natural law, then we can flow with the Tao without incurring karmic ouches along the way.
It seemed to me that the IC was not saying there was any trouble now, only that, to work with natural law, if a person remains alone, surely they will attract a suitable 'partner'. In this case, a win-win situation might be that I move out of here and benefit someone who has a room for rent in town. Then, instead of a third wheel, I will be fulfilling a postive and essential role in another situation.
My point is that when we use the IC, we can use it in such a way that it isn't neccessarily giving us the absolute scenario in our life right now, but rather, it is giving us awareness of principles that create maximum effectiveness in our lives, and these principles we may be blind to seeing on our own.
In this case, I did see that awkwardness of the situation--that she might want to develop a love nest with her lover without his Mom in the picture, but I was also affected by my son's desire to have me stay here. Having the awareness of 41 line 3 at the top of my mind only serves to open me up to the possibility of finding somewhere to move, and would incline me towards finding that new place, whereas, without the IC, I might have ignored the signs until 41 line 3 became an ugly situation.
