{how would I embed that here?} anyone?
Right away...it struck me as to what an intriguing mix this is. Inner truth and youthful folly...
But also so very perfect, the combination...for the book in so many ways is about the conflict i experienced in a 'learning' situation and my inner truth, and the struggle and confusion involved in embodying it.
I would love to hear your take on the hexagram toss by itself...as it seems *such* a fascinating combination...
And additional insight into what it might actually be saying to 'me' would be also, be so very welcome, as I do tend to get carried away in the abstraction of it all.
Is the yi saying that it is indeed a good idea?
who or what is this 'another' and why 'no peace'...ouch...much of it is a meditation on peace...so....?
I just sent out some writing to an agent...the subject could be potentially sensitive in some ways, in some quarters...i could write my 'story' without getting too involved in the surrounding possibility of controversy, but the stickler that I am, chose to send the parts that directly addresses the issue...the book ultimately will not be about the controversy...given that background...i asked the yi, its opinion...on having made the first step of sending a sample of writing, and initiating the process of publishing.
it said, 61.1.5
You copy the link for the video from the address bar or whatever it's called...then you use the 'go advanced' reply option here. Click the 'insert video' button which is in the middle row, 3rd from left and then paste into that . Use post preview to see if it works.
Just impressions from a few things I've seen with this exact combination which does link in, I think,with your own ideas.
Generally a situation where you might be sincerely devoted to doing what you know to be true in a situation...except you actually don't quite know what's true. There is the possibility of some disquiet in line 1...something feeling not quite right, hidden motives, either yours or others. As you say an intriguing combination. I have the idea Lise has the image of a snake in line 1, a snake in the grass..will have to check. If there were not this cause of unrest, reason for disquiet all might be well...but it's a big IF from what I have seen.
One could be entirely sincerely engaged with a new situation for example (61.5) be completely open to it and yet there may be things unknown ready to disrupt that...and hence hexagram 4. What can you trust ? Do you know what you can trust really ? In relation to your question
...if you have a hidden agenda there will be no peace. I can't from reading this paragraph really grasp what you are speaking of...except it looks like you already know that it's 'sensitive' and hence you seem to anticipate something other than just appearances might show ?
Practically my advice FWIW here is to be sure you know what is true before devoting your inner sincerity to it. It could be put the other way around also. Check you yourself don't have hidden designs you aren't that aware of. Yang change pattern is 3, yin pattern is 50...seems to me there is more cooking to do. One can have a real inner sense of truth bringing energy and impetus to something but what if some of the factors involved really are not as you thought ?
Trying to think of an imaginary example. Suppose you meet an amazing new friend who invites you to lots of gatherings and you are really excited and sincere to engage with it all...and then you get to know her better and then you see things you hadn't been able to see at the outset...well that you couldn't have seen because you didn't know her. Maybe you find she had an agenda of selling you something or other. Silly example...but then again I don't think this reading is telling you not to go ahead or not to trust, it's more like just suggesting there is more to be aware of that that you simply aren't in a position to know at the moment (4) ?
I don't think this contradicts your own, more subtle thoughts on this combination.
I think the Hexagram 4 - which Lise calls 'Not Knowing'...makes more sense to me as 'Not Trusting'...
You are not trusting yourself enough to know what the yi is telling you. Or that you are not trusting the yi enough to wait and let its message get to you. Hence you badger the yi by multiple queries.
Would that not be a more appropriate summary...the explicative gist of yi's response than simply 'inexperience, youthful folly, or not knowing'?
Practically my advice FWIW here is to be sure you know what is true before devoting your inner sincerity to it. It could be put the other way around also. Check you yourself don't have hidden designs you aren't that aware of. Yang change pattern is 3, yin pattern is 50...seems to me there is more cooking to do.
