61.3.6>5 Emotional Upheaval?

I've been feeling rather lost and overwhelmed on all fronts recently (lots of personal and professional upheaval since beginning of the year) and I've decided to ask the iching for some guidance through the wilderness that I feel is my life at the moment.

I drew 61.3.6 to 5. My immediate thoughts were that I'm waiting or I have to wait and navigate my way through it rather than being impatient because I can't see where all this upheaval is all leading ..which could make sense.

However i don't have a great deal of experience with 61, and I find line 6 sounds like a bit of a warning, like I could be off path?

Again, just a bit confused and any thoughts are welcome.

Six in the third place means:
He finds a comrade.
Now he beats the drum, now he stops.
Now he sobs, now he sings.

A drum is an instrument of leadership. Leadership activity in a for-profit or non-profit would help you. What better way to get out of a wilderness than by helping others get out?

Nine at the top means:
Cockcrow penetrating to heaven.
Perseverance brings misfortune.

Thanking Trojan for the correction because this is even better, because the cock is in a position of leadership. So as I said, all of this suggests to me that you need to be in an organization where your talents can be employed.

Nine in the fifth place means:
He possesses truth, which links together.
No blame.

Bradford has 'Being true is as good as a bond', which again suggests a capacity for organizing. I understand Hexagram 5 as service on the border. So all of this suggests to me that you need to be in an organization where your talents can be employed.




The answer received was 61.3.6......line 6 not line 5



Geez I'm constantly having to keep an eye on you !



You're utterly lawless !



Please do try to pay attention !









;)

Thank you, Trojan. If it weren't for you I'd probably wander off into the Wilderness of Yijingland and get stuck in quicksand.

I quite like this answer becasue to me it suggests things really aren't as bad as you tell yourself. Often 61.6 comes up when we are often quite sincerely calling out for help, calling earnestly, woe is me....but its all quite misplaced or rather it really isn't helpful


Its all okay really

You are just having quite exagerated emotions about things (61.3)......you are even making more drama than is helpful to you. (61.6)


I'm not suggesting you didn' t have the troubles you say...but you do need to start re inventing your own perception of it...to yourself.


You are exactly right I think that the reading counsels patience, patience with yourself too since your emotions seems to be roller coasting in 61.3. But you also need to work at toning down the whole level of intensity of suffering....don't get into that role too much

Hex 5 actually recommends enjoyment, eating and drinking and resting. What you need will come so don't exhaust yourself too much in your own reactions. You can be a victim of your own perceptions of the situations.


Try to relax and do something trivial....you are too keyed up when you don't have to be, its not helping and you may be reinforcing a sense of victimhood if you continue the kind of inner 'calling out' in 61.6

Its a pleasure Tom. Keeping track of your mistakes keeps me mentally agile.

Thats makes a lot of sense Trojan..Especially the idea that sincere or not, the 'woe is me' attitude doesn't really help.
I hear it as a sort of reprimand, but in a good way (kinda get a grip, you're fine!)

Pocossin, I've just joined a group project which is proving to be a really uplitfing experience, something I've never done before, and it's giving me a lot of positive energy..so there you go!

thanks again for your readings, it really has helped!
