Divination Help (Hex 43.1.2.4 - Hex 39 Unchanging)

[cosmichaos]

This may be a subject of "taboo" nature and perhaps uncomfortable to some, but as an adult, it's something that many of us may deal with on a day to day basis but are too afraid to ask for help. It has to deal with the topic of masturbation. I've been doing it since was about 13 years old and am now 22. The most i've ever abstained from since first starting was about a month and average at least once every day. Some days I can do it up to 6-7 times a day depending on how bored I am. It really bothers me now that i'm older and feel like it's something I should be growing out of. It's not because of religious beliefs, but more so moral principles, that makes me feel very guilty after engaging in the act. I can refrain from it at times up to 2 weeks, but usually something causes me to go right back into it and I indulge. Whether it's a mental reasoning thing or emotional trigger. I know it's completely normal and even "healthy" in moderate doses, but it's something that's always bothered me and even affects the quality of my life. I've read about sexual transmutation and am more interested in channeling all that sexual energy into something more productive and creative than wasting it. But anyway... i'm a the point where I am either about to give up, or just make it through. I feel like it's at that balancing point where it can go either way. I consulted the iChing and have received this divination.

Hexagram 43.1.2.4 (Resoluteness)
&
Hexagram 39 Unchanging (Obstruction)

I was just curious what anyone might think this could mean and possibly lead to in the future? It feels pretty accurate with the first one, but i'm still confused about the lines. I only use the same sites to divine my readings and sometimes they just don't make too much sense. Also, does the next one mean there is gonna be temptations again in the future? That's how I interpreted it as. I guess if I am able to be firm in my decision to be strong and commit to the transcendence of this problem in the here and now, perhaps I will be able to push through the obstructions in my future. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Hope to hear from someone soon!

43 is all about you being determined to bring about change but you will falter 43.1 because you haven't located the source of your problem. yet you are desperate for a change 43.2 however the time for it is not right. you need a girlfriend. or boyfriend 43.4

the hexagrams aren't related to specific questions so I can't say more really, exp about 39 which could simply be saying that it's not something you can give up that easily

I don't know why it bothers you so much tbh. If you want to do other things, just do other things. Unless you actually have to stop what you are doing in order to go and relieve yourself so to speak in which case you might want to speak to a doctor or something.

Precision grace,

Thank you so much for your reply! It means a lot. Yeah, it's something that I always tell myself to do but end up giving in and feeling all guilty about after. Not to be too personal or anything. It's not that bad to where it's like it's on my mind every single second of every day and have to stop doing things to do it, but I feel like it is a bit much. Haha. That divination really has given me acceptance for all of this. I guess that's the only way to truly overcome it all. Again, thank you for very much. Much peace and love to you.
