Frustrated 28.2.4 >39

[TwoGeese]

Greetings,
I am feeling really frustrated with my progress or lack of it with the Yi Ching. So I asked "Is the Yi Ching something that will be beneficial for me to use?"
I received 28.2.4 < 39
Hex 28- Something is weighing on me (I'm thinking this is self made- defiantly mental) I feel quite directionless and I am not sure which where to go with it.
Line 2- I don't know here? First thing that comes to mind is this is not dead yet- there is fruit here- do not abandon it because I feel worn-out.
Line 4- It is perfect the way it is- I need to stop trying to add more stuff to it. More interpretations more whatever... ?
Hex 39- I am intentionally banging my head on the wall. I need to return to things I already know??? To me then this means not the Yi??? But I also see this as the manner in which I am approaching the Yi as being a large problem for me- wanting it to "lead" me instead of me leading myself with it's help...
Interpretations, advice, new brick walls .
Thanks in advance.
Kim

Dear Kimbenes7,
Yes, it will be. However, at the moment you are putting too much pressure on you to get results and asking too much of the Yi. This is just blocking the way between you and the YI. But the Yi is telling you that even with all the stress this is not going to break the relationship between the two of you. Instead, this relationship will grow, from what you see now as being a tiny little bit to the point when it will sprout and rejuvenate, bringing the new into your life.

Hope that helps:bows:

This does help- I tend to get.. well, overly aggressive is the best way to say this, with myself and my process. I want it NOW... Not at all helpful for growth. I am one of those people that would run along and pull out seeds as they are trying to grow just to check on their process
But this really helps- still I feel frustrated but not as much. I am very glad to hear that the relationship is not broken. Next on my agenda today- breathe!
Thank you.

I think it means you are using the Yi too much and for uneeded inqueries. One who is all over the map is the same as one without a map.

I really like what Mirian said -specially the first part of it- but, I have to say, I'm a bit more sceptical and down-to-earth about your reading .. For me, it looks like it's warning you that putting too much pressure on what Yi can do for you will lead you to a dead-end; Yi is like rejuvenating your self, your old self, not some radically different person; it's like re-growth of a part you forgot you had, like a sudden surge of emergence of joy, inner communication, listening to your own lake within but YET it is still just you, as it should be you. Line 4 puts all the focus into not asking for support outside of yourself - tending to your inner spine/pole/knowing . . If some answers don't resonate there, let them aside until they do and, till then, tend to you own innate strength, your inner well - Yi is just a way of reaching that and tending to that


. . plus, it just takes time to get the hang of it, it's like a new workout regime - there's no way around it if you wanna see results!

Yup this feels right. I think I was trying to "test" it and ended up just getting upset about it. Backing off for a bit and waiting until the "real" questions need help.
Thanks.

Thank you rodaki,
this feels exactly where I am. I am desperately trying to hear my inner knowing but in the desperation I am not hearing anything. I am leaning on everything outside of me to tell me what the inside wants/needs. I can hear this though- this makes sense.
I spent many years studying the tarot under the assumption that we can read the future but not actually understanding how inner knowing works in the equation. I think I am finally getting this. I also had the belief that our lives are "pre-destined" (that is embarrassing to admit) and I kept going to everything outside to tell me what I am "meant" to do. I am recovering from this belief but I think I had to see it first.
I feel like I am having a moment. But it is a good one.
Thank you again, truly helpful.

hey kim

I was away from my computer for some time hence the late reply - it's good to know you found something that clicked for you in there . . I hope things work out to the better!

Sorry my reply is late-
I loose track of these sometimes.
I am trying to be less intense with what I expect out of things-including the Yi.
Thank you for your follow up.
