Help!!! No cry out

[yellowblue]

hi---

43 line 6, not crying out....

Does this mean not crying out for help, or it seems in Legge's translation no helpers to cry out to... or maybe something else????

What I got was 61.3, 4, & 6 to 43....and 43.6 keeps recurring...

Thank you!!!

Also, I keep getting various indications of some sort of "rivalry" especially 2.6

: )

Thanks,
Deb

Hi Deb,

No cry means that one isn't relying on the available power of the Universe (spirit - 1), and instead attempts to overcome all obstacles on one's own strength. The same idea is reflected in hex. 2 line 6.

This does create rivalry with the spirit.

43 line 2 shows a cry of alarm and includes the idea of readiness. In contrast, line 6 shows unreadiness without restraint on one's earthly drives.

Cry out to the Universe and receive available direction and resources rather than press forward in your own power and strength. This requires patience and utilizing the element of time to sort things out. The Creative works through time. Make space for it.

I think you've pretty much surmised what I've just said. Perhaps this may help to ground it.

Hi Candid!

That is perfect...and does ground what I have been feeling....this is a rivalry between earth and heaven and what I'm feeling is "heaven's direction" and my own desire or will.

Maybe what I'm really feeling is that I think my desire correspondes with heaven's ordinance or will, but I'm afraid that I will loose out because of various issues...and I do want to make it happen...

Silly, huh? As though it could be other than it was meant to be (whether preordained or subconscious direction)...

Wish I could laugh at that right now, but I can't. This is too valuable...heavenly and earthly.

I suppose if I were to let go it would work out perfectly. Patience seems to be a key word for me lately. Sigh.

Deb,

Very silly we humans can be. But you're not alone, and maybe that's good to remember. We tend to sometimes think challenges and trials are exclusive to our own unique circumstances, which only perpetuates our subjective view and reinforces the idea that something is wrong. Things right themselves in time most always if we don't interfere before the time is right.

Letting go seems diffuclt in the beginning because we experience a rush of thoughts and become anxious that somehow, we may not have our way. Its these unfounded fears that are the root of our discontentment and anxiety, and which cause the seperation between our heaven and earth.

Hang in there.

Hi Candid--

I do have to admit I have been far from objective... and after ordeals to obtain an objective outlook and maintaining it for quite awhile, I have to say that this is "the" that has put me in a tail spin.

I thought I was beyond this, but I'm beginning to realise that this may be what I need to fully bring myself into balance...just the pressure that fully crystalises maybe...maybe not.

Funny thing, life, you know??? I mean, you see so many points, and I guess that you have to accept the intersections and interceptions....maybe this is the lesson I'm meant to learn. Mind, I have a very strong personality normally, and this is killing me...

: ) Ha Ha!!!!! maybe a good thing huh????? To let my "SELF" be killed again and return to the core.

But not there quite yet.

I do know what causes the discontent and anxiety... we all search to fill our discontent with the trivialness of life...I know we can be filled with that suchness and then there is no discontent, because I've been there. But then, come the spirals.....but coming down means going to the higher level, and so it goes. A kind of quantum leap.

This person I'm involved (yet very uninvolved with) is one of the most pure and unprentious persons I've ever met. Too meet someone like this is so.....what can I say. My heart is in awe. He is unaware of the gift he has. This isn't a surmisation. It's as substantial as it gets in life. On a daily basis, he proves this over and over again.

How can a heart not sigh over someone like this???

I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve, but I don't mind regarding this.

Bottom line, I am afraid of losing what he symbolises.

I think this is the spirtual vs. physical thing, and herein lies the "rivalry".

When I ask if he has let go of me I get

23.1 six
23.2 six
23.3 six
23.4 six
23.5 six and 23.6 nine changing to 43 (43.6 fan yao)

And when I ask if I've let go of him I get

27.1 nine
27.6 nine
changing to 2 (2.6 fan yao)

Needless to say I feel very deprived because of circumstances...

This tonight, so one can see a pattern.


Oh well...

Thanks for your good and kind remarks, Candid.

Hi Deb,

We hear of people who have somehow managed to move beyond their "inferior" and subjective nature and have achieved enlightenment, detachment and supreme compassion for all sentient beings. I don't doubt this is true. But I really believe that so long as someone lives in this physical and cyclic world, they will experience every change written in Yi. The law of eventual averages dictate it. This goes for legendary figures such as the Buddha and Christ. The Bible says that there is no temptation known to man that Jesus has not felt and experienced. If someone breathes this air and walks on this earth, there will be tribulation for them. There will be those times of dark, unreasonable emotions, no matter who you are or how developed your personality.

The contrast of your change lines in 27 shows the gamete of life's menu, from letting go of our independence to being the source of nourishment.

23 is stripping away and examining what's beneath in order to reveal the bigger picture. This effort can be exhausting - one loses ones resting place.

One thing you can count on though: you will travel through these same changes again and again for as long as you are subject to the natural laws of change. There's no need to beat yourself up over this fact. It just means you are alive.
