53.6 & 22.4

[anemos]

I feel I don’t grasp completely line 53.6 and would appreciate your help.

Looking at the archives, most people’s experience regarding that line, has to do with leaving a situation; a situation that done its cycle and its time to move on, time for the geese to take off to another skyes.


the resulting hex , 39, makes sense, as there is a blockage and the only way to overcome it, is a change of route- take off. However,what makes me wonder is Wilhelm’s text, were he says : “This requires the will to persevere just when one apparently must do something that leads away from his goal.”


Perseverance is a key word for h53 too , so I’m thinking weather this 53.6 advice is for staying or leaving, whether the perceived deadlock is a false impression and that might lead to a hasty decision or just the right thing to do given the situation.


I also asked for an image of staying there, at least for a while and got 22.4>30 , which one way to read that line is that there is something that looks as a “robber” but actually is a “friend”. Which is exactly to issue there, as there are two different groups and the one sees as potential "robbers" the other. I can’t blame those people that see as robbers some others in the same organization .. ( with all those cuttings happening here their fear can be justified, in a way, yet I’m not at all qualified to be a “robber” so to speak)
So, probably, the line points to aspects that are not clear yet and how it looks isn’t as it is… To be honest, I have doubts for h30 to materialized and that makes me think if that reading just describes the current situation


…and that (22.4>30) brings me back to h39’s comment I mentioned above. Perseverance, patience and commitment-partnership (the“marriage” as a metaphor) appears to be a common theme in both readings….


So, to summarize it, if the intention/goal is to invest to that situation then how would you read :

1. Abandon? 53.6> 39 ( yes, it won’t work ?)
   
2. Stay ? 22.4>30 (yes, things will become clear, the aversion will dissolute? or.. no cuz there is a real problem there)

Any thoughts? - especially for 53.6 which troubles me more


Thanks in advance

Today is Good Friday in this part of the world and the celebration of Christ's resurrection tomorrow night . Images of Jesus ascending , resembles the goose leaving .. going beyond.

Said yes, as they offered a small program so I'll know first-handed. Going against the odds , will give a try. Maybe it will be a fiasco ... hopefully will make a good story...

Will report if 53.6 turns out to be something different from what I have read ...

Happy Easter to those celebrate and happy rebirth to those need it.

cheers

In my experience, 53.6 has meant leaving a conflicted situation behind me and moving toward a life more based in spirit, peace, and harmony.

Yes, ginnie. I recall reading your experience in another thread and what you say its the right thing Yi-wise or more general. Just , for some reasons, I suspect this answer was a more general one and might refer to other similar decisions that apparently have to make. It appeared to me after writing the initial post, so that's why I decided to say yes. Had some reading that maybe support that this is not the right place for me (h12 , 36.1)... so probably its a mistake to say yes.. hope not fatal.

Thanks for your comment.

For me this line is like'''''what happens next is better than you even imagine now". I've known it as pursuing what seems one desirable goal only to find something that completely transcends my expectation comes along. I also think this a line which carries you along...maybe that has to do with the feather imagery, but there is no effort from you really required. You go along doing what you do the best way you can do it...and then whoops and eagle/swan/goose comes by and pick you up and plants you somewhere that wasn't even in the scale of what you previously had in mind. I haven't reread the question but if it was about pursuing something I think I would but I'd half expect at some point this would lead me or take me somewhere else entirely.

22.4 can show that something you think is inconsequential can actually take you far. I don't think you can go far wrong with either option. Both answers have flying imagery....you get carried somewhere either way. 53.6 can be much more 'the great unknown' and 22.4 is closer to where you are now....but I wonder if this 53.6 is something that will happen anyway. I feel regardless of choices there's a certain amount of fatedness here. Of course with 53.6 in moving on you leave some good things behind in your trail for others to use and follow.

that's the main reason I said yes and "ignored" the- probably - better leave advice.
As for 22.4 , that uplifting could be the decision not to accept the role of "robber' which by default is assigned and just do my best. ans since its for a short time my initial commitment, might not be very tough. Probably that approach its a kind of 53.6 itself. We shall see...

Thank you for the input

".but I wonder if this 53.6 is something that will happen anyway"

Could be..as the have't receive yet the final approval which its just a typical procedure yet you never know.

Kind of feedback, yet i need to note that my gut feeling says that this reading is not that specific but it talks to a bunch of similar matters. Anyhow...

Had a meeting last week. The program I'm interest in will start on Sept so we decided to leave it as it is now. Neither decline nor accept this cooperation. The person in charge , a very helpful one, although she proposed some other openings, knowing what I really need to do, she made known that I could go and participate in other programs but wouldn't recommend it. That was my feeling too and shared that to her. That could be the 22.6>30 part of the reading, the way I see it in addition to my first thoughts which is a practical/circumstantial problem.

As for 53.6>39, she proposed to talk we some colleagues of her , in the same network but different organizations and that she will bring me in touch with those people! I was also invited to a gathering will take place later on, so I could meet some people who work in the field I'm interest in.

what is interesting is just before the meeting asked Yi and got 28.5 which was a nice memo to have in mind during this meeting. Very straightforward answer.

and also after the meeting , a couple of days ago I ask how would be the most appropriate way to proceed and got 54.1. The sequence of 53.6 and 54.1 seems a very interesting progress. Feels like I'm already out of it -in some ways- and now have to adjust in the new situation. So far, 53.6 doesn't necessarily talks about abandoning anything , just a different way of being.

Feathers still in their place I guess ... not yet time for the sacred dance.
