I asked about a potential new job that I was going to be interviewed for by phone.

My question was "With respect, what is to be known about the likelihood of my being offered an appropriate job by X company?"

I got 48, changing in the first line to 5.
"One does not drink the mud of the well. No animals come to an old well. changing to 5 - nourishment, waiting. If you are sincere, you have light and success. Perseverance brings good fortune, It furthers one to cross the great water. The image is "clouds rise up to heaven; the image of waiting. Thus the superior man eats and drinks, is joyous and of good cheer" (all Wilhelm).

It seems to change from a very discouraging place to a very positive one.

Can anyone enlighten me on this? Your advice much appreciated!

48.1 says that nothing's happening here of any interest to anyone or anything. In the context of the job you're wondering about, that probably means either that you don't stand a chance of being offered the job, or that it's definitely not a job that would hold any depth or 'lifewater' for you. Which of my interpretations do you find more crummy? (grin)

Neither, I think you're right on one or possibly both fronts! I think they're going to offer me something that fundamentally I don't want to do any more.

One of the side effects of reiki is that if you're doing something for a living that itsn't for you, it stops being tolerable. Which is a bummer because I don't think I know how to do anything else!

Hmmmm

thanks Dobro

any other thoughts?

Hi Daisy-
Look at the zhi gua, waiting (for the rain to come). Use that to understand the mud in the bottom of the Well.
On the commune I was in charge of the well. It was one that you could climb down into. We would wait for the driest part of the year, when the water level was almost down to the mud, to go down and clean it out. And we took advantage of a really deep drought to dig it down a little deeper.
Thus, 48.1 suggests a great time for a general maintenance overhaul. Not just waiting, but making yourself more worthy of a wetter future.

Ah yes - hexagram 5 again. Remembering this thread, maybe that's your 'signature hexagram' for reiki-awakened needs?

By the way, I like the way you start your questions 'with respect...' Do you do that every time?

Hi Daisy,
I do believe Reiki cleansing is a thing that requires patience. The 48.1 reading is almost perfect for a Reiki cleansing, because that is what the Reiki energy does....it goes down deep into the recesses of the well and brings up all the muck to be cleansed.
The waiting is necessary because eventually the cleansing will complete and the well will become clear and useful.
Any jobs offered to you now may well not be appropriate or desirable, but with patience, I believe you will find the one that is more in tune with who you are.
maybe right now, It is time to tend to the well ( allow the process) and wait for awhile before it is time for what comes next.

thank you all so much for this. I've only just found this site and all of a sudden I've got I ching mentoring on line. Brilliant.

Hilary; I had wondered about 5; I've had it in three consecutive throwings and am now pondering how to find out more about what it means.

I think you're bang on, with your comments about appropriate ways to make a living for the improved "me".

And yes, I always start my questions "with respect" - I think I got it out of Wilhelm years ago.

Bradford; good point about it being me who's in the muddy waters, but what about being forgotten and not visited? sounds a bit grim....

Micheline; thanks for these thoughts; this would make sense as I am the most impatient, hell-for-leather person on the planet. And you're all right - I already know I don't want to work in my existing field any more, but I have no idea how to make a living any other way. And I'm terrified of being poor. (As opposed to broke, which is my normal state!)

thanks to you all for taking the time to help me. It is much appreciated.

Hi Daisy,

I?m wondering if perhaps the premise or foundation you?re presently operating with is outdated for you, rather than just the position in question. Are you familiar with the Biblical ?new wine in old wineskin? metaphor? The idea is that the new wine will cause the old wineskin to burst open, and so it takes making ready the container (like the well or wineskin) in order to contain the new wine (job, position, future).

Might there be a previously established idea that has become too old, familiar or worn out, which first needs to be renewed or revamped before you?re able to find a position that is suitable to nourish your future?

No, nothing to add, but I've got a question for you. I've done reiki - taken some training and been initiated and then practised/performed/unleashed it on friends and family over the years - but I've never heard the idea that you mention that the reiki might not be appropriate, and that it stops being tolerable. That's interesting. Intolerable for who? The person channelling it, the person receiving it, or both?

The work you are doing for a living if it isnt for you becomes intolerable, not the Reiki!
