Good Morning,

I'm at day 6 of Quarantine. My all country (Italy) it has been locked down. A week has gone already.
Many questions doubts and fears are running trough me and my fellows.
The strongest feeling is that nothing will be the same anymore.
This morning I asked: "What will be different at the end of this quarantine"
Answer : 55.6 to 30

I want to read this answer like: we will build our own word inside. We will be forced to look for it into isolation inside us. We have no choice. We are lonely in hour homes. It is the moment to make the best of it. We have no means to show anything off. Abundance will be in substance not in appearance.

You are the center of your life, so be present there. No reason can be important enough to screen yourself off. See all that happens and react if necessary, make your own fate, don’t let fate just happen and don’t let others decide about your fate.

Please feel free to add any thought
Thank you!

Larouge, sorry to hear about your situation ❤ The quarantine time will hopefully fly by if we try to picture the long term benefits ❤ I think the uk is not far behind Italy.


55.6 > 30

I associate with disconnection which sums up the situation you’re in. I don’t think the three years is always literal, I am not sure of your age but in the uk they have suggested vulnerable ppl 70+ self isolate for three months as of today until May/June when the experts feel the virus might back down for a second surge in winter around Oct 2020 but with something so new they can’t be certain.


I think we are fortunate in these times that we have a whole wealth of resource of a type of interaction online on social media forums etc.... WhatsApp video messaging in theory if you have the right plug in technology you can communicate with ppl on your tv as though they are in your living room❤ I think we need to find ways to feel connected to our loved ones though “peeping through the door” in physical term through heart & mind communication via virtual means if it’s possible it’ll feel that they are then always near ❤ There are so many ppl willing to reach out and support almost any time you need, the world is a 24 hour place and for once we are all kind of facing the same threat worry although our experiences might be different.


Maybe at the end we realise what’s important, the inner world you mentioned cultivating ourselves. choices See those who care about us and vice verse be it governments corporations etc And how what we once valued materially becomes superfluous in comparison to what we actually need to exist. The best outcome would be if as a species globally we became more altruistic and finally realised how connected we really are to each other how similar we are and all our basic needs for health sustenance are the same one nation’s people aren’t more important we all breathe the same air.

I’m not so good at interpretation as I am a novice with not much experience but I just wanted to extend my support and good wishes x

Wishing you good health ❤

Hello!

55.6 clearly shows the state of someone who's been in quarantine for a while and gets tired of it: the pitfall. It is the last line of hexagram 55, whose judgement says: " Expansion of Awareness means progress and development. When the king is enlightened there is no need to fear a change. Let him be as the sun at noon. [Legge]".
In 55.6 the described situation is over & everything becomes clear (30) again.

Hello larouge! My heart goes out to Italy, and all other countries hit by this monster. This is affecting the whole planet. Very soon here in the UK we'll be exactly where you're standing right now... if not worse, because at least Italy has taken strict measures, here in the UK the government still lives in la-la land.

What will be different at the end of this quarantine? 55.6 > 30

55 means abundance. A lot of great things, a full cup, a lot of opportunities. With line 6, this is over now. Someone is looking after only their own house and this brings misfortune. Resulting 30 shows a fight for survival. So, from abundance, we go to survival.

Our older relatives were leading plentiful lives, before the war came. They had lots of everything. All of a sudden they had nothing. History of human-kind is full, so full, of this exact same story. Have we learned anything? It doesn't look like it. We take everything for granted - that's all we know, so we assume that this is what life means. Look at what we have right now, right now as you're reading this. We have the internet. Is this guaranteed to last forever? No. Nothing is guaranteed to last forever.

So back to the point. What will be different at the end of the quarantine? The time of plenty is over. Now we need to look after survival. Hoarding tons of goods, and looking after only our own household, cut off away from anyone else, will be a bad omen...

Perhaps we'll all live isolated for three years. Perhaps we'll only look after our survival. Who knows at this point. My personal opinion on survival is this: human-kind has not reached its present civilisation by being selfish. Human-kind has reached civilisation by building societies and helping each other. So! This is my message to you, to myself, to everyone facing this horrendous reality. Yes, look after your own a--, but do not forget that we are all stronger together. I very rarely go philosophical, but hey ho.

Wow that is very spot on!!

I think people will be wary of others. no more touching and kissing and hugging the Italian style.
Probably no more people over for dinner and as a host, as it used to be.

for some time, people will keep this sort of quarantine from others

"What will be different at the end of this quarantine"
55.6 to 30

30
- Clarity, as context - Consciousness, Brightness and Separateness, Lucidity...
Wilhelm/Baynes: The Clinging. Perseverance furthers. It brings success. Care of the cow brings good fortune.
> Being docile and cooperating as context, which brings success.

55.6 - Wilhelm/Baynes: His house is in a state of abundance. He screens off his family. He peers through the gate and no longer perceives anyone. For three years he sees nothing. Misfortune.
> This says I think, that although financially everyone will be ok, people are going to be keeping to themselves and unfortunately remain apart from each other - for some limited period of time.

This morning I asked: "What will be different at the end of this quarantine"
Answer : 55.6 to 30

I cast this same line when I moved to a new city (Seattle) without knowing anyone. Very on the mark- I spent the first 6-7 months there alone and in a lot of social isolation. Seattle is known to be a socially isolating city, especially for new people (may be to their advantage now). After about 7 months things gradually started to get better and I eventually met an amazing friend group and finally found things to do.

So the "three year" period is not literal, it just means a long range of time. It definitely felt like forever but I eventually got used to it and things calmed down. Normal life resumed eventually. Better- the friends I met were more fun and fulfilling than I could have imagined!
