That's what I thought, too. But I guess I had to hear it from an objective outside reader, and have confirmation. Thank you for being so clear and direct.From the Brian brown walker I Ching app - 45.4
FOURTH LINE
If you work for the good unselfishly now, you will be overrun with success and good fortune.
To me that’s pretty dang clear with no real room for much other interpretation ...
People are getting the vaccine because the only way to keep this thing from completely destroying our whole way of life is to eradicate it, at best and to control it, at worst. By getting the vaccine you reduce the risk of getting it and giving it and dying a lonely painful death. If it continues to remain unchecked and continues to mutate - our current vaccines *may* not be effective on new strains and the whole mess starts again.
So - iChing say don’t be selfish , do this for the greater good.
and then resulting hex 8 - “holding together” “union with others”. Seeing that one of the main instructions during the pandemic was stay away from people - this hexagram is also pretty clear - get vaccinated - seek union.
i feel your interpretation is right but the cast also reflects your doubts back at you. most translations mention good fortune and generally 45 to 8 could be understood here as being part of the group / doing what everyone else is doing (45) in order to seek union with others (8). the fan yao can be understood in terms of how the cast feels, but is not the actual reading (8.4 talking about outwardly associating with others). in general this cast is promising in terms of being able to maintain social life after the vaccine, i believe this is the main point of 45.4. however, Bradford translates this line "A lot of promise Avoid mistakes" and I personally find his commentary particularly interesting "There is a point to which this serves a purpose. Sheep should not try to think. For others, an end to the fear is courage to question."the Oracle is hinting at some sort of “moral duty” in getting vaccinated for the “higher good”
Thank you for your reply. I hear you, and you also have voiced a lot of what I am feeling. Perhaps this is not the right arena to elaborate on this. But I had hoped we would not come to this, to the "two tribes" idea, perhaps as I am following a contemplative path in life and I can see good (and 'bad') reasons on both sides. For a whole year I have lived healthily and was quite clear I didn't want to be vaccinated. I am not an anti vax, and I respect all choices, I just felt intuitively like I didn't want it for myself.The question is which higher good? What is the true nature of moral duty? On one hand there is the group that believes in the covid story. This is based on a test (pcr) that was never intended to diagnose and cannot diagnose, for a virus that has not even been isolated. The group of this belief believes the shot, which is not a vaccination (by its own definition) is necessary for the greater good. This shot is by its own definition (and from the 'approved' sources) experimental. A 'vaccine' has never been successfully made that protects against any corona virus. In animal studies (many species) when the subjects are challenged tested (exposed to the virus a year later) they die.
For those that have decided that this virus fear is serving another agenda, standing in our truth is requiring being able to withstand the ostracizing that is in the early stages. It will be harder to stand in our truth as this agenda progresses. Yet we feel it is our moral duty. We feel we are doing this for the higher good.
So it comes down to which tribe you most resonate with. Each tribe, each polarity, will experience different things but all will experience expansion which is the nature of creation. As reactions to the shot manifests in numbers those of us that have refused on moral grounds will be under increased pressure. We are aware of this. Because we also believe we are serving a higher good the two tribes will come into a great conflict because the other tribe also believes as we do but for different reasons.
I have heard from friends that taking the shot will make life easier even though they have reservations. I see it in your comment also. Easier is again, subjective. For some choosing their moral path even though it will make physical life harder, is really easier because we are in alignment with our beliefs on this event. For the other tribe physical life will be easier.
There is no right or wrong choice. But I will say from comments that the belief of taking the shot is a moral obligation serving the higher good is exactly what those of us that are from a different tribe realize this is what we will be facing and it will not be easy to stand firm when the attacks come. I don't care if someone takes the shot, it is personal choice. What concerns me is the ones who take that path are adopting a moral high ground, high ground being key. That confrontation is yet to be played out in full earnest. Do we respect others freedom of choice? Do we just let each make their own choices or do we force others to adopt a choice we have made because of moral obligation and higher good based on ethical issues from a subjective viewpoint?
Those that make the choice to take the shot do not pose any danger to me. They take the shot and have whatever experiences follows. I support their decision and voice such when a friend tells me of their decision. My concern is when I have chosen to not take the shot and will be blamed for...

Challenging times are ahead. The ground work for blaming the ones not taking the shot are already being promoted in lamestreet media. It has the potential to develop into a full on frenzy.
For the record, Dr. Zach Bush has an explanation of what a virus is, what the virome is, how this started in Wuhuan (he predicted before it happened) and how thru the virome it has spread worldwide. I personally do not believe you can 'catch' a virus which has played out with my almost 40 years of working with, observing disease trends with animals. I have a sanctuary and regularly have and work with several hundred of various species. I have watched various 'viruses' spread thru a speices, from beginning to end. I could not make sense of it until I learned about the virome. It was the piece that connected all the dots.
Thank you for your reply. I have looked for the Bradford translation but I could not find it (or in fact, I found very long PDF books, and I will have to look in more detail). Where did you find this bit: "There is a point to which this serves a purpose. Sheep should not try to think. For others, an end to the fear is courage to question." ? And what do you take it to mean? Many thanks, Max.i feel your interpretation is right but the cast also reflects your doubts back at you. most translations mention good fortune and generally 45 to 8 could be understood here as being part of the group / doing what everyone else is doing (45) in order to seek union with others (8). the fan yao can be understood in terms of how the cast feels, but is not the actual reading (8.4 talking about outwardly associating with others). in general this cast is promising in terms of being able to maintain social life after the vaccine, i believe this is the main point of 45.4. however, Bradford translates this line "A lot of promise Avoid mistakes" and I personally find his commentary particularly interesting "There is a point to which this serves a purpose.

Yijing-One book, at the bottom of page 326 the whole commentary to this line is worth a read for broader context.Where did you find this bit
And what do you take it to mean?
