Best course of action?

[klann]

Hi everyone!

I'm in a situation in which I am not sure how to proceed. There are, objectively speaking, three possible actions.
I asked what kind of result can I expect from each of those and got the following:

a) hex 10 unchanging (which I read as a dead-end)
b) hex 11.1 to 46 (which I'm not sure how to understand), and
c) hex 51.1.5 to 45 (which I read as "it won't be easy, it might even be hurtful at times, but fight for what you want; don't leave the situation")

So, I would opt for being a bit hurt that being totally stuck, but I am not sure if I see it all in the right light. Besides, the b) one I totally don't get (although I must say that I see neither 11 nor 11.1 as negative, and the resulting 46 especially not. Is this saying "relax, everything will fall into place where it belongs"?)

Thanks a lot to anyone who finds some time to answer

Too bad you did not add exact questions to the casts, but

10 un does not speak of a dead end. I find it more like an advice that if you decide to go after that impressive something, you will always have to be thinking through every step you take, be calculated more than impulsive and that you think there is a lot at stake. The question is, would you be ok with that approach and how would it serve you in the end.

Hex 11 reads better than it feels, IMO. I remember reading good stuff on this line, unfortunately cannot remember other than my take at the moment which is that if involvement is what you seek, you may find it is quite hard to get out of it, perhaps get more than bargained for or you will have to give more than anticipated. But if that is what you seek, we may interpret this as and advice to partner up with someone or something in order to advance?

I am not a big fan of hex 51, I find it depicts a stressful event and then feeling quite silly stressing about it as it was part of a larger process perhaps.
So drama at first, then relief in acceptance of what may follow but you have to do what the situation requires anyway, as deeply involved in it, you need to do your best. Perhaps then The Gathering will follow.

Since I have no idea what it is all about, do not reveal latter on, just let us know which line of action you followed.

Thank you for the quick response, dragona!

Yes, it all makes a lot of sense, I guess...

I'd rather not get into details but let's just put it this way - the situation is overwhelming and I am not sure should I stay in it or not.

The first cast - hex 10 - meant removing myself from it completely.
I am not sure if getting out of it would serve me in the end and for some reason I do think there is a lot at stake, I guess that's why I called it a dead end...


The second cast - hex 51 - meant participating very actively in the situation.
I don't like the hex 51 either and thank you for summing it up so nicely "a stressful event and then feeling quite silly stressing about it as it was part of a larger process". That is EXACTLY how I feel about the hex every single time I get it. Thanks again for formulating it; I'll have to save that sentence for future reference.

That might be exactly what I am so puzzled about: I am not sure if the situation is altogether "more than I bargained for" (as you've mentioned in the third cast, hex 11) or is it just the current trend which will subside in its due time...

And the third cast - hex 11 - implied taking a back seat. Letting others lead and just follow.
And the way you described the line 11.1... That perfectly describes the situation, yes, "hard to get out of", almost impossible. Plus the fact that I have tried to get out of it without actually wanting to get out of it... I'd have to partner up with someone in order to advance, yes, oh yes, but I am not sure should I...

I thin k it would be hard for you to get out of the situation completely.
When something intense happens, it is not in its nature lo last long-the same level of intensity. And I think you already are in quite deep so....perhaps, only perhaps, casts follow your actions? Or will? One tends to do the best one can and then let it sink in....
Perhaps try asking what is the best course of action for you just.
Oh, and 11.1 has also that cautionary end to it, making sure what the goal is. Being clear about it. Shake the dirt off them old roots when putting them in the new soil.

Hmm...if the q. was formulated as underlined and the cast is 11.1, I would interpret it more like starting an venture with someone who has the same or at least similar goals in common as that should be known in the beginning. To me, the emphasis is on entanglement and pushing upwards together, working together towards the common goal, not taking the back seat. Can`t be done.

Hi dragona,

thank you so much for putting effort into analyzing this. The situation is very important to me...

No, the questions were formulated like: "What will I achieve in this situation if I remove myself" (hex 10), "...if I put a lot of effort" (hex 51.1.5), "... if I do participate but just follow the lead?" (hex 11.1) Something like that... Where would the course of action lead me.

But, I am thinking a lot about your previous post, the one about 11.1 meaning "making sure what the goal is", "shaking the dirt off the old roots"... As well as the comment that I cannot remove myself from the situation completely...

I think that it is very interesting that you are giving most attention to that cast (the 11.1.), as I find that course of action most realistic: participating in the situation but not too fervently.

However, I am also thinking about what you've written about that 51: " first stressful and then feeling quite silly stressing about it as it was part of a larger process" as in the next sentence you say: "you have to do what the situation requires anyway, as deeply involved in it, you need to do your best"

Right. I did as you advised and got 12.2.6 to 47
I guess it means "hang in there, this is just a temporary obstruction/setback/confusion".

Do you see it in a similar way or am I completely off the mark?

Well, I tend to get like that when not getting sleep...

But casts make sense to me.
You do not really want to remove yourself, you are involved already-51.1 has an emotional tone to it so you are looking for clues, working on to decide what to do and then do it. It is only natural to me that before stepping into something important, one needs to have a good understanding with the partner in order to know where that enterprise is to be heading. Sharing responsibilities seems inevitable.
Well yes, I would agree but also maybe to allocate your energy, you seem quite intense (not that I judge, not that it should be a bad thing).
Or to discuss and work to resolve all possible issues in order to come to the point of 11.1. If this may apply...
I suppose another people or person is involved.

Hopefully you get more opinions from others, mucho wiser Clarity members.

Well, yes, I would call my present state "quite intense" if I was going to be euphemistic about it

Your analysis is spot on: I do not want to remove myself, sharing responsibilities definitely is inevitable, and I do have to allocate my energy...

I'll take the middle road then: I will not remove myself from it but I will not be too feverish about it either. I'll calm down, assume responsibility, feel other person(s) and see where it takes me. I'll let you know what happened.
Thanks!

If anyone else sees the casts differently, please do share your thoughts...
