My bad, sorry about that.Heather, you quoted me, but didn't add anything? (Just a beginner's error, no worries). But is there something you wanted to add or comment on? Best, D (You can always go back and edit your post).
It's so interesting I Ching picked up on harm / danger because this is what's going on in my city:Hello Heather and welcome. Here are a few ideas that come to mind.
What do I most need to leave behind?"
The answer: 14.1.3 to 64
Line 14.1 'No interaction with what is harmful, In no way at fault, So that hardship is not a mistake.'
It makes me think, is there some danger (a person, a situation, a toxic job) that you need to leave behind?
And .... Sometimes just moving doesn't change what is toxic or harmful to us or within us - after all, "wherever we go, there we (still) are." So, in your case this may take a bit of hard work - even spiritual work or working on yourself: it may not just be that moving away will leave behind what is 'harmful'.
Line 14.3: 'A prince makes a summer offering to the son of heaven. Small people are in no way capable of this.'
I wonder - and this might be a stretch on my part - are there any 'displays' of wealth (great possessions, summer offerings) - maybe things you can't really afford or that are beyond your means - that you need to leave behind? Or perhaps there are other big and perhaps seemingly important things - big ideas, big plans, stuff you spend money on - that are not really useful for you?
My sense is that you may want to start small, and be willing to expose yourself (like a turtle peeking out from her shell) - you may want to be the 'commoner' (the 'small person') and not the princess. This brings to mind Mark Twain's novel, The Prince and the Pauper - where the young prince could really only know his subjects and kingdom by leaving behind the confines of his protective castle (his Great Possessions). To leave these big 'things' behind may mean exposing yourself, maybe facing fears, or a deep sadness, or sense of uncertainty you may have.
I hope that's of some use. But please, only take what makes sense or seems true or helpful for you.
Best, D
I have not heard about that until now. I have spent a lot of time in NM, but mainly around Santa Fe. I have mostly passed through Albuquerque, landing at the airport there, and then either renting a car or taking the train to SF! I have visited Petroglyph National Monument however, a most wonderful and magical place. My sense is the crime and violence there is mostly drug and gang related? Too bad. I supposed you can always move to Santa Fe or Taos. Or maybe to Farmington, or Truth or Consequences, or Roswell?It's so interesting I Ching picked up on harm / danger because this is what's going on in my city:
14.1.3>64The question I asked, word for word: "What do I most need to leave behind?"
when reading this sentence i was wondering what would lead a person to make such a radical leap of leaving everything behind and starting over again?"Background and context for reading: I want to move to a new city, start a new career, be more fulfilled in life"
Hi,Food for thought:
when you asked the question of your reading, did you already have this idea of returning to the starting place in mind?
What made you leave the Midwest?
is there a connection between 14.1.3>64 and that starting point?
hex 14 has to do with possessing wealth (in a broad sense) or also seeking wealth( ...a richer life in a broad sense). In hex14 there is always a sense of sharing wealth, both giving and receiving and a group in this sharing.
There is something that 14.1.3>64 shows clearly, both directly as well as hidden indirectly in the structure, and it is connected to caution and thoughtfulness in what led you to question Yi.
All the best to you.
