I'm in the middle of an extremely difficult situation: I have an extreme sensitivity to mold, and my next-door neighbor made some unfortunate decisions after her house flooded that led to her spreading manure contaminated with toxic mold all over her land. The result is that I can't be anywhere on my property at the moment. I do have some hope that things will change, but it looks as though it will take months, not days or weeks. And in the meantime, I have no safe place to live. It's extremely difficult for me to find housing that I can tolerate. My husband and I have been living in our van in the meantime.

I asked the Yi about the best approach to this situation overall and got 61.1,6 to 59. I'm not exactly sure what to make of it, because the interpretations of the two lines that come to my mind push in different directions. 61.1 seems like advice to retreat: I could try to limit my interactions in the world and mostly stay in the van. But 61.6 warns against bitter limitations, and staying in the van most of the time sounds pretty bitter to me at the moment. I suppose the advice could be to look for a middle ground somehow.

I'd also love any thoughts on 59 here. Perhaps it's advice that I can count on the mold to go away with time? Or, more grimly, count on it to continue to disperse across my property?

Or another way of looking at the reading is to see it in terms of direct advice about how to deal with the mold: I need to do something to keep it in place on their land, so it doesn't go dispersing from my neighbor's property (the "family room") onto mine. The neighbors are cooperative (if idiotic), so they'll let me take steps to deal with it on their property. My strategy so far has been not to cover the remnants of the manure that's there, so that the sun can kill the mold and denature the toxins, plus I'm having them spray it all once a week with a microbial liquid that (I hope) will outcompete the mold. But an alternate approach is to cover the manure with mulch to keep it in place. That has the downside that the mold could perhaps just spread through the mulch, continuing the problem.

Guess I'm pretty confused by the significance of this.

Any feedback on this one https://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/fri...-Three-options-23-3-to-52-50-4-6-to-46-and-54

Also sometimes you are saying you got 61.1.6 but the title says 60.1.6. I guess it must be 60.1.6 to get to 59 but it seems odd you have written 61 several times

...so if it's a typo it's one you have made 3 times in one paragraph which makes me wonder what the reading actually was. 61.1.6 changes to 29 not 59

Reads to me like the I Ching is advising you about the mold dispersing, not about your living in the van. I think it's saying that in this situation where the mold is Dispersing, it is best if you Limit it's dispersing onto your property but not to go to extremes (60.6). If this is correct then I see it as the I Ching validating your decision not to try to cover the manure with mulch.

It also occurs to me that Limitation - Dispersion could indicate that your efforts to disperse the mold only meet with limited success. I wonder if you might get helpful insights asking, "What will be the results in x months if I simply continue doing what I have been doing?"

Thanks, rosada. I just did so, asking about continuing as is, with covering it, in three months time. I got 30.2.4.6 to 11. Seems encouraging.
