59 again

[Olga Super Star]

Should I act with this person? 59.1.3.5>26
I got 59 again!!!!!!!!

59 is difficult to understand.
It's a state of change, you can not go back, truth comes up (which may be pleasing or unpleasing). But it can also mean that communication previously impeded can now flow again.

I saw in a post that Rosada explained it as "dissolving miunderstandings" - which would be positive
59.1 dissolving misunderstandings at the beginning
59.3 dissolving our own ego
59.5 a big idea dissolving old situations and creates potential for reunion (forgiveness)

But then Pocossin recently wrote

Yes, Mr. Moss Elk, you are missing a great deal. For old guys like me, put your i's in capital letters. This is important. You are degrading yourself by failure to capitalize. You may be in the texting generation, but oldies like me are the ones who may or may not employ you. We want compositional discipline. Why start off with a bad first impression? As the victim of your harsh pronouncements, apologies, which you are quick with, do not count. (I am speaking as an employer.) You are a caring and capable person, but I think you are unaware of the impressions you make. It may feel like death (59) to give up your habitual ways, for which I think you have good grounds, but you will profit (14) by doing so.



It strikes me this "victim of your harsh pronouncements" because I actually did make harsh pronouncements towards this person (in her face actually) and I fear that "apologies, which you are quick with, do not count".

Which view should I follow?

26 doesn't say "do not act", imo, but it favors actions rather than reactions. 59 could be how to lighten up the situation or your feelings and respond to a more cool way.

Sometimes, although we are right the way we communicate it disminish the value and effectiveness of our arguments.

 

[Olga Super Star]

Mmh so it's a problem of communication

What I don't get is whether it suggests me to act or to leave it (for now at least)

but what's 26?

 

[Olga Super Star]

A friend of mine says:

that the head (59.5) mustn't let the two emotional lower centres decide. It's the head that has to decide, not the lower centres. But at the moment the highest level (59.5) is being disturbed by the two lower centres (59.1 and 59.3). So basically he wouldn't act, he wouldn't do the first thing that crosses his head. The risk is not being able to find a centre and everything gets dispersed.

59.3 does not concern heart but volition, determination, wanting to do a thing, the will to go over the current situation. Here is out of place. So it is better to concentrate on what you have and what you are at the moment. Being a yin line, it can' t do anything, it can only let itself dissolve.

59.5 to create something new I should let go, forgive

 

[anemos]

The context you provide doesn't help a lot to give a yes or no. Even if I were to say to you "it's no act", I guess you would doubt for the validity of my answer.

Your friend probably knows more details, and I agree with some points he makes.

26 can be many things. Wisdom is , imo, one of them. Wisdom it's simply making right judgements and good decisions and perhaps, yi suggests, before you decide you need to think first what lines 1.3.5 saying. Perhaps , in the end , after assessing the whole situation, you will be able to decide whether try to fix this situation or drop it.

Notice, that both hexes talk about a river that should be crossed. What stand for that river only you are in a position to know.

Good luck with that matter.

This person is a director I wanted to work with, no actually I was supposed to work with because she asked me if I wanted to work with her and be in her play. What happened is that my ex house mate (whom I had a horrible house life experience) told her he wanted me to do the audition. So I went all over the country to do the audition (lots of money spent on plane), and passed it. My happiness lasted 45 minutes, because they had me called again on the phone saying that although I had passed the audition he didn't want to work with me, he was unhappy with me, so the director chose not to have me so as not to upset him.
I wanted to speak to both of them when this happened, and they at first refused, then accepted, they were both very uneasy with themselves. I saw them separately, not together, and this did'nt help as they both told the it was the other's fault.
Then he invited me over to see the rehearsals. I stayed for 4 days, watching other people do what I was supposed to do, watching them sign the contracts, and a group that was going to shape itself.
Then, finding everything quite boring and having no place in all this (both the director and the vice director kept ignoring me), I left and came back home.
Lots of money lost.
I found all this horrible because he knew me already, he could have said that he didn't want me BEFORE making me go and spend all that money. it wa horrible to have a YES, then MAYBE (depend on the audition), then YES (audiiton went well!) then NO.

So last February I wrote them a horrible mail - well a truthful mail reminding them what they had done to me and calling them cowards. The director replied very angrily, and wished me good luck, saying that so many people had travelled from even further than I had, but I am certainly too full of myself to understand that.

Last August I wrote to the director only, not apologizing (I don't want to apologize, they should apologize) but saying that I didn't just mean to bless her, I was being very angry and when I'm angry my words are like swords. I got no reply so I was wondering whether I should act now _ I still dream about her

 

[Olga Super Star]

The river that should be crossed could it be the director and all this story? leaving it behind?

but how? I mean I keep dreaming of her. She's very famous so she's everywhere!! even if I don't think about her, the universe reminds me of her
it's all very upsetting

 

[anemos]

I have no idea what stands for the river, or about whose rigidity the readings talks , or if you have a boat available to cross the river or need to built one. I don't know if pursuing this director is what is most beneficial or not for you.

Hope other jump in and answer to your questions.

Wish you the best.

I got 59 again!!!!!!!!

59 stands for a state of ill-will.

When I get three moving lines, I like to concentrate on the middle one, which in this case is 59.3. This moving line says that to receive good fortune and disperse the ill-will, fasten the mind onto something that is external to oneself, something that is not self-centered.

This seems to imply getting out of that old story about the director hurting you and concentrating on something else . . . How can you do that? Hexagram 26 shows a state of being all blocked up. Something precious is held within a mountain. Try to make the situation better by focusing on the work that is to be done, not the old situation of "he said, then she said." Do you know what I mean? Get out of yourself.

59: A wind passes across the river, lifting up moisture, which forms the fog which continues to hover when the river has continued its course.

Follow the way of the fog rather than the rushing river, which might lead you to do something regrettable.

 

[Olga Super Star]

ok I'll try
thank you everyone

 

[qafinaf]

Something else to think about: 26 is a kind of storing up energy. This means not expressing it all at once, keeping a lid on things, or using restraint. (Which may be good acting advice, too.)

I Ching describes it as storing up virtue. But from your description, it could also mean building up a lot of anger and frustration. So finding a way to dissolve reaction into fog and forgiveness, not building up pressure. How can you use the situations in which your patience is tried to develop ease and joy (or however your think of "virtue")?

 

[Olga Super Star]

I honestly don't know. I try not to think about her but I often dream about her.

There are months when I do things myself and everything's fine and I forget about the director..
then suddenly I fall into it all again!

In 2010, before even having the remotest possibility of being part of the theatre company, I had decided to put this dream behind me, and moved to another city. One year went by and then I fell into it completely again! So in 2011 I said to myself: ok, I can't get her out of my mind, I'd better try and work with her!
So in 2012 I started a sort of apprenticeship, and in 2013 she offered me the first job.

And here I am now, in the same position as 2010 (well not the same: I'm a better actress and we have quarreled )

I guess time might help. I hope to concentrate on something else.

But thank you anyway for helping me with the reading :bow:

This.

In other words, lighten up.

 

[Olga Super Star]

This.

Wordreference says lighten up= relax, don't take things so seriously.
Mmh.. ok then!
