49 and 17

[sbd]

What are your impressions about 49 line 3 changing to 17 when asking about a relationship?

What I read: In a context of adapting and flowing with each other, there needs to be a revolution of old patterns that will come about through communication. But, the timing is essential. Yikes. Is this answer a prescription to take action, and if so, how to avoid the implied danger?

Thank you.

Sbd,

Yes, its a prescription to take action, but its important that the course of action is based on what is essential and genuinely in need of change. Its a time of sifting through your priorities to determine exactly what changes are called for.

Wilhelm: ?Not every demand for change in the existing order should be heeded. On the other hand, repeated and well-founded complaints shouldn't fail of a hearing.?

This usually means that you can't always get everything you want, but when you ponder it well and then act on your conclusion, you'll get what you need. (courtesy of the Rolling Stones, paraphrased)

Can you believe it - I've been singing that song in my head all afternoon!

And even though that is exactly the same answer I got today to one of my questions, the song in my head today was:

Every day, it's a-getting closer, going faster than a roller coaster.
Love like yours will surely come my way.
Every day, it's a-getting faster, everyone says go ahead and ask her.
love like yours will surely come my way.

Every day seems a little longer, in every way my love's a little stronger.
Come what may, do you ever long for true love from me?

Every day, it's a-getting closer, going faster than a roller coaster.
Love like yours will surely come my way.
Every day, it's a-getting faster, everyone says go ahead and ask her.
love like yours will surely come my way.

Every day seems a little longer, in every way my love's a little stronger.
Come what may, do you ever long for true love from me?

Every day, it's a-getting closer, going faster than a roller coaster.
Love like yours will surely come my way.
Love like ours will surely be here to stay.

Sbd,

See? You knew the answer all along. But now I'm curious, did that song play in your head before you asked the Yi?

I've done a little experimenting with this and found that through deep concentration we can know our Yi answers before we even ask. Usually its intuitive when it happens to each of us, like the song, but I believe we can draw up the answer at will with practice, through more than just reasonable deduction. I believe once we've been through the changes enough times the whole phenomenon can exist within ourselves.

"Can you believe it - I've been singing that song in my head all afternoon!"

Sure, I can believe that...

btw, fwiw, my comment on 'the whole phenomenon can exist within ourselves' is best expressed in 4.2 "The son is capable of taking charge of the household."
