conversation with the I Ching

[hebe]

Hi its Hebe and the time felt right to get some futher clarity on what to do next. Both my husband and I are feeling the constraints of the job knowing that we will be leaving at some stage before April, but in a way 'killing time'. I wanted to know if it would be the right thing to do to just focus on the qualities of the next job that I needed although not knowing what or where. I asked the I Ching ' How will things evolve if I just focus on following my nose and leads for when we leave?' and when I got hexagram 5 I was pleased as this was so true with what I was feeling - to just wait patiently, but the crunch came when I looked at my moving line which was 4, which definitely gave me the thought that truly it wasn't a good idea to 'just wait' and follow my nose with leads at all. I guess the cave could also be referring to my mindset and not literally 'get out' of the job. That is also worth considering.

I pursued this with asking - 'what will be the outcome of aiming to leave as soon as possible?' (even though to an extent this is out of my hands) and was given 27 unchanging, which looked and felt pretty good. However, then fear kicked in , as I truly haven't found anything in terms of where to go next or what to do. I posed this question finally in a kind of conversational manner: ' ok, I'm with you, and is it ok to not have a plan? because I don't as yet and I don't want to drift'... and the resulting hexagram was 14.

I get the impression that its not normal to put a few questions onto this forum, but they led into each other so easily that I felt it was ok to ask the series.

How I will follow this all up I'm not sure. Our employers come back from the states on thursday and are beginning the interiewing process for our replacements - no doubt we'll talk and I can suggest that we are up for leaving as soon as possible and not necessarily April if itworks out for them. It does put me in a bit of a flurry though as apart from following my gut with leads there doesn't seem to be anything concrete that I can rely on to help me with this transition. What do you think? Hexagram 27 and 14 both seem very encouraging in terms of reassurance. Any help with this would be appreciated very much, Hebe

hey,
I understand very well what you mean with all this...
but to me is a more uncomplicated way to get advice from IC when you just try with:
what will as next happen about work! or what i have to expect that as next will happen about job?
this way you get an unbiased answer from the IC!
the answer could also be a start point for more investigations!

in your first question you use "if" this is only a tip... and no more... so if you want read this post from me about the use of if!

well... I try to give you my opinion only about the first question! 5-> 43
to me it seams to be finally a good combination! the forth line is talking a bout the fact that you can only wait for the right time to act! you will dislike to wait in this miserable situation... but you have no alternative!

hope to help!

PS: if you want try in 3 days with my suggested question art!

 

[hebe]

Thanks for that - i understand about the 'if'. So, do you mean to leave it for 3 days before asking again but in a more direct manner? Is the 3 days an important form of respect so to speak to avoid confusion with too many answers? Hebe

 

[hebe]

Sorry and just another thing - I meant to reply about the line 4 - your interpretation seems alot easier than mine - to wait is a much easier option - we have so much here in terms of a roof over our head and an imcome that I would feel foolish in leaving prematurely if we didn't have to, especially when I have no plan of action. I don't mind waiting and using my intentions to find the right job/step if that is 'on track' with the right path... I just want to know what the best thing to do is! Thanks, Hebe

this is a kind of IC rule!
and it's true that answer after 2-3 days are less sibylline or less confused for us!
in the mean time you can think about the question to put!
but the right way is to ask like I suggested! let the IC show you the way! and than if needed use the answer as starting point to investigate!

about "IF"... understand that IC always give you an answer! but since IF is a open kind of question seen from IC point of view... this mean that it's hard if not impossible for us to understand to what the IC is referring! for sure the IC refer to our cosmic order.. but are we able to see it?
:bows:

 

[patro]

about the forth line I just answer you!
you have no alternative... you will wait... but this doesn't mean that you will do nothing in the meantime!

 

[hebe]

Okay! Right, I'll wait for 3 days and let it digest... and then go about it with a more direct approach - thanks for that, Hebe
