doubts and 16>8

[anemos]

Hi all,

I recently met a person and small things here and there made me doubts for their authenticity. Its one of those gut feelings, word here and there that like neon-signs are not making it easy to ignore them.

so I asked Yi "X is such and such ( my doubts). any comment?
actually I want to see if I should doubt about my doubts .

I got 16.4.5 >8

any ideas of the Yi's answer ?

well your post title 16 > 8 looked nice but I see its actually 16.4.5 > 18

however...

18 is your doubts, 16... you are magnifying, inflating your doubts, putting them on a pedestal.

line 4

Companions are gathered as hair by a clasp....Choice is the most real at exactly the place where it has the least weight or inertia and the mind can move things around with simple yesses and noes

Bradford Hatcher

line 5

Persevering, not dying....When everything is too easy, creativity evaporates without crystallizing.

Lise

from line 4 where there was a natural drawing together of the two of you you seem to have moved into line 5, with all those doubts of 18, but really that is part and parcel of the process of building the foundations of a real relationship and what it can really offer you, in reality not just in your imagination.

Use you doubt to steer clear of delusion, even beautiful delusions eventually bring pain....those kind of bubbles always burst.

I think the yi is saying your doubts are good and useful, don't doubt them, explore them, but don't let them become bigger than their size either.

oh drats, well its much better than what I just posted!

ignore my reading of 18 as your doubts, my thoughts on the lines are still the same. 8 is good for union as you know, but also good for a second reading if you are feeling still a bit unclear, could you ask a more specific question, say.

but overall I'd say you doubts still come from the big a beautiful images you have from this union, and it might feel a little like you are floating away in a hot air balloon....that's what those handy sand bags are on the side of the passenger basket, keep them there so you don't float away into oblivion.

(ps. only ask the oracle again if you can really boil down the question, I find when I get 8 I pressure myself into asking another question and it sometimes makes no sense at all)

thank you CC,

I see what you say. will let it sink a bit though. Bradford calls 16 readiness and i recall someone hear said about 16 "don't fell asleep. stay alert . be ready." and that makes me feel that my doubts have a solid base.

time will tell...

thanks again

time will tell...

and ultimately that is what we have to acknowledge, that we cant completely predict the future with the yi, but I think it helps us prepare ourselves and consider things we wouldn't normally.

I think your doubts are worth listening to, like gut reactions... but they are better off as servants to you rather than lords, and that's the balancing act.

Do tell us how things start to unfold, I recently got 16.6 for a question I wanted a really good answer to, but line 6 is where it all goes too out of proportion.

Bradford also includes enthusiasm, exuberance, spontaneity etc. in his keywords

BH on line 5

Investment in cherished wounds?

Here is a question, are you doubting because its easier to stay in the wounds of your past rather than let them heal?

hi again

(i wrote a longer post but I have a problem with my connect and it got lost . i am a bit with the people at call service , anyways)

his is the new boyfriend of good friend of mine. For some reasons , i don't go out so they came to visit me sometime ago. With this friend tho, we talk a bit and she talks about him. I can't help it but I hear those alert! alert ! in my mind.

the day before i asked i had a date with a friend. he is a writer and while we talked a bit of his book he said he was going to write something which was exactly what the other guy said here , in my home. I was a bit

she is in love with him, so I haven't share my doubts . i only said to her to take care of herself. But little things here and there, like 16.4 connect and create an image i really don't like.

to be honest ,for the shake of my friend , I want to proven wrong, but Yi's answer , as i read it, doesn't say it, that i'm wrong.. On the contrary , i read it as "there is no smoke without fire". OH, and fwiw, talking with another common friend who knows that guy a little more, she told me when I asked "how he is as a person? " she said "hmmm, don't know yet". We didnt' say much more but she is also a bit worried about our friend.

I have a couple of more questions in my mind , but will lstay a bit more in this reading.

thanks again for you contribution
