A job that I should have got: justice? 40.6>64

[pamelavaris]

I applied to a job that I was very well qualified for, but did not get. The panel interview was stiff and difficult/tricky, and my attempts at balancing and having a two-way discussion, despite being nervous, were not met well by the main interviewer - I sensed that he did not like being questioned (although I was very polite) in front of the other interviewers as he held a senior position. When I saw later who they had chosen for the position, I was shocked because my credentials were far superior. After a few months of going through a certain restlessness and disquiet, I asked the Iching that if I posted a review of the interview, would it benefit me and got 40.6>64.This was encouraging and seemed clear to me that I should go ahead and would get justice by eliminating an adversary ("shooting the falcon"). So I posted a carefully-worded review on a well-known forum that I know is monitored by the company I applied to. The review, although anonymous, has enough details for the employers to recognise that it's me. It's been a few weeks since my post and there has been no response. My question for the forum members is if I interpreted 40.6 correctly. Thank you for your help.

You asked, "How will it benefit me to post a review of the interview?"
40.6 "Deliverance - Shooting the falcon" could refer to your act of posting the review and it implies an act of protecting oneself from invasion. Perhaps the benefit was that by posting your experience you are delivering and protecting your brain from further obsessing over the unfair treatment.

64. Before Completion is the last hexagram and describes the step we master between endings (63) and new beginnings (1). It's a time for reviewing and celebrating the past, and most importantly remembering there's always the future...

Thank you for taking the time to respond, Rosada. I appreciate your insight into this.

40 carries a charge of relaxing or letting things unwrap in their own time. In this situation you are being tossed in a stormy sea by a sense of things not having been fully fulfilled for you (64). The tensions created between 40 and 64 have made it all too difficult for you to see things in a neutral way and you have reacted in a way to defended yourself, or your feelings of injustice, through giving feedback in the 'anonymous' post.

Has this been beneficial for you? 40's best guidance was for you to 'pardon transgressions and forgive crimes'. Both yours and others.

However if you released something by shooting down that falcon (40.6) then that has been beneficial for you. Only you can weigh the pros and cons of making the post. After all your opinion is the only thing of worth in this situation, especially if your action has allowed you to draw a line under the matter.

... or it might mean nothing like that for you.

Good Luck

In my experience with 40.6,
The Raptor was a wrong doer
(Thief) ,
Who was brought to justice.
(Before a judge)
By my actions.

40 in general speaks of forgiving the criminal, but in line 6... something else is happening. Just (Like line 6 is generally 'outside' of the core meaning of other hexes)
