Heart Shapes and "Following"

For several months I've been noticing heart shapes "everywhere;" could be the shape of a stain, the form a puddle of water takes, the shape crumpled paper assumes, the pattern of a cloud I happen to look up at, et cetera.

I'll add that twice recently I've had two clairaudience experiences - my first - lying in bed upon waking, these incidents occurring about two weeks apart. The first time I heard "wait," the second time, "not yet."

And I have posted here previously on audio-visual synchronicity.

Everytime I have inquired as to the "meaning" or guidance within such events/patterns, the response has been uncannily dead-on. Something - some process, some dynamic - is certainly accelerated and it is interesting.

And I have enjoyed and benefitted from referring to the "memorizing the I Ching" notes in search of further context regarding received hexagrams.

A long-winded lead-in to inquiring this morning regarding the the heart shapes and receiving 17, Following, unchanging. Checking the memorizing section, I thought these thoughts of Hilary's quite fitting:

"I haven't had much experience of 17 talking about someone following another person, or drawing a following. It's tended to be much more to do with following the currents, receiving signs and guidance and going with it. Sometimes that means obvious synchronicity, help turning up just when you need it. Sometimes it takes the form of apparent obstacles, and the challenge is to recognise that what we interpret as being 'stuck' is actually the natural flow going at a pace that wasn't on our agenda. So we need to recognise that moving with the creative process is 'without fault' and follow the junzi inside for rest and renewal."

The latter part of that - "apparent obstacles" - reminded me of a dream I had a few weeks ago. I was walking along the street in the daytime and was called back by name to the Brinks truck-like vehicle she was in, parked in the middle of the road. She was at the wheel. I walked back and received some changes in the directions toward getting to my destination. I was a little aggravated, frustrated with the changes and even more so when later she again called me back, but this time she in something more like a parade float, but not fully decorated, and she had more changes in directions for me (all of which made sense later, upon waking reflection, of the parade angle, as well as her higher-up role in the Whole Thing).

But I voiced my frustration - I just want to get there, dammit, what's all the last-minute crap - much to her Good Witch from Oz-like bemusement. She smiled and laughed and told me, "You know you have the tickets. You know you're going to get there. Why can't you just go with it?"

A few days later, working on a creative-type project, I realized that all the late changes in the work, while indeed being a source of frustration and anxiety - will I ever solve these final puzzle pieces in time? (there's a deadline involved) - have been for the better and made the work stronger and richer and could not have come without the necessary periods of gestation, when the work is being done more under-surface. My agenda is thrown off by the uncertainty (about, really, where to dot i's and cross t's), because I want to be done, dammit, but the truth is, still (and I may always require reminding), that the river has its own way of creating its course, and there is an order to it that can't be forced.

Anyway, this morning a breakthrough of sorts. A light bulb moment. That could not have arrived any earlier but has arrived right on schedule.

Wanted to share.

Hi, loved how you see hex 19.

I always find following whats in my heart hard to do.
I love talking with others and being part of a group.
But sometimes 19 for me means do what I need to do
and stop following others.
Maybe the seeing of hearts is telling you to stick with
what you know in your heart to be truth and get on with your
job?

sorry, I did mean 17,
Yes chingching, I was asking you the question
in relationship to the photo you posted.
Meaning that hex 17 is maybe about letting go?
flow, and not taking a realist or optimist stance?
Thanks for post

well successful optimists are realists as well.

pessimistic realists are hopeless idealists

pessimistic optimists are delusional.

and delusional pessimists are missing the good things happening right in front of them.

realist and optimist aren't even a polarised pair, realist/idealist ... optimist/ pessimist are. But I saw that pic recently before I read this thread and it made me think of it.

I think generally someone with more of an optimistic bent to their nature will see the things they hope for and likewise with someone who is more pessimistic etc. And all modalities are valid, as in I dont think an optimists view is better than a pessimistic one, but its good to name it rightly. It s like reading one author who has a fairly grim and dim view of women as opposed to one who has an affectionate view. It used to be that the dim view of women was seen as real and many people believe these more 'realistic' sounding descriptions over poetic ones and sometimes all that gives us is years of misogyny and misunderstanding (one example of many seemingly real views and ideologies...anti-feminists put down your weapons).

I think, always one needs to ask how do I truly express myself, that which can both define me as a separate entity and include me with all.(instead of trying to be a cocktail of realist and optimist because it might seem right.)

Myself I swing from pole to pole, who knows which one I am on any particular day. Not me. But in terms of attracting someone, emptiness, like in 31, is the state I have been at the times when I've met those who would become special to me, just don't ask me how to keep 'em.(ask one of the good-at-relationships members here :).)

p.s I just thought you might have been asking hooo, I wasn't sure.

oh, and like you and hooo have already said, I agree 17 has a certain amount of surrender required in it. I can see that surrender mechanism working in being able to draw the love heart shape as opposed to the anatomically correct heart, like the early modernists who were trained to paint as realistically as they could; it was actually very hard for them to let go and let forms become simple down to their bare essentials and sometimes to their most poetic and beautiful.
