Advice or reading?

[kincadefoster]

I have posted on a few readings about a person in my life and gotten advice here,

yet I can't help feeling that people are giving advice based on their own feelings about the situation which I have shared about and I'm not getting analysis about the actual readings.

So I asked about that. (what can I take or learn from this situation/what is it's meaning?)

3.4>17

maybe I'm just being pedantic at this point and should just go by what I feel the readings reflect...

You can ignore them, but you should acknowledge also, those that have tried to offer interpretations, and a thorough explanation where they come from. I'm not talking about mine only but all those I fell, based on my experience , that were valid interpretations.

You feel entitled to get interpretations, but you forget that you have to participate in that process of unraveling a reading. When someone asks you clarifications or feebfack , if you really want to understand your reading, you have to play....

Interpretations are subjective. Sometimes the only one can give it's their personal experience, or hints. You have every right to protest when someone cross some lines, you are free to say that an interpretation doesn't resonate with you and your circumstances, but imo, while people volunteer to help, the way they can, a simple thank you is at least polite.

To tell you the truth, I'm not convinced you come here to understand your reading. If you want help, give help, engage yourself in a discussion. Discussion, not monologe. And, to tell you the truth, I think you are a nice guy, sensitive that wants to feel heard and understood

I reckon, that there are some matters that require to reviel very private things and that it's the limitations of a public forum. A small detail that is hard to share, can change the whole meaning of a reading. There can be details that you might ommit because simply you find them irrelevant, that still can change a reading.

The reading you post here, in my biased-very subjective-limited understanding, talks about the way you enter yourself in a situation you ask for help (3.4) and your resistance (17)

So, as you see, this post is a mixture of interpretation and "advise". If you don't like it or it doesn't resonates, there is a search function to find other ways of viewing this line and the opinion of other people that might chime in .

Here are two suggestions on how to avoid this and get interpretations based solely on the reading.

1-Put your question and reading at the top of the post.


2- Stop writing and leave out ALL details. This way people who could know the answer from only looking at the details will stick to the question/answer only. This accomplishes both having people focusing on the reading, and protects your privacy.

Hi Kincadefoster,
To me 3.4 is advising to receive the help being offered to you and further to participate with it. It's a very wonderful response to your question. From the gist of your question it seems like you might be looking for someone or something to tell you what to do which is never going to work with the i ching without the personal effort to cultivate understanding, wisdom.

The point is to work with the i ching. Cultivate self knowledge through these readings. What people write to you, wherever it comes from, it's an opportunity for reflection and insight. Engage, ask questions... Does that make sense?

I find that when we give back, when we invest our own energy and intention towards anything, we reap amazing benefit.
