Hello! Hope someone can advice me! I tell the iching I want no husband. Through with it. No more wishing or looking for love. It tells me hex 2, no change. I tell another time iching I want to go study language course. If I don't learn this language, then how far can I expect to progress, must go learn this language. iching tells me hex 2 no change.What does it mean, 2 no change? In these times I am not asking iching, I am telling it my mind to see if it agrees with me. To see if it tells me, well you are finally on track. Does this question inspire you to an Idea? So many questions I know they never stop. When does one stop asking all the questions? I will be happy on that day.

Ionia,

You will stop asking questions when you stop asking questions.

If you can accept the Present Moment as it is - if you can stop trying to influence the future - if you can stop resisting 'what is' - you will have no questions.

Let it unfold.

The I Ching is neither agreeing nor disagreeing with you. Hexagram 2 tells us that the I Ching accepts all persons, bears with all persons and allows you to be you. Hexagram 2 is patient and devoted. Rather than telling it, and looking for agreement, it is better to ask it, should I marry? Should I learn this language etc. There is a protocol that goes with the divination. It is not simply a tool that can be manipulated. And yet, it is being patient.

As the Yilin says it:

No wind, no rain (yu)
The white sun is clear and bright (jiao)
It is good to go out and exert oneself (or: run for others) (chi)
It opens and is beneficial to the Great Dao. (dao)
(Yilin 2-2, nice rhyming here)

Eeeeh....does this help?

'Run for others' might also mean 'work to reach your goal'. Only through hard work (after all, we are talking about the mare here, which means labour - the expression 'quchi', 'exert oneself' has two characters, both containing the component 'horse' - no coincidence) can one achieve this. But 'no wind, no rain, the sun is clear and bright': there is nothing that hinders you.

Harmen.

Ionia,

The pleasure is all mine, I am glad it helped you. "Have true marriage with all that lives": exactly! Marriage = commitment.

There are some threads on this form which mention the Yilin:
http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/I_Ching_community/messages/48/733.html?
http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/I_Ching_community/messages/92/668.html?
and more.

The Yilin is a book from the Han dynasty, it combines every hexagram with another one and itself, making 64x64=4096 combinations. Every combination has a short poetic verse. Often cryptic, but always intriguing.

Best,

Harmen.

All of you help me so much yesterday. When I read the YiLin Harmen made it made everything more than clear. Like a shock of seeing. Today I realize after so long of questioning iching I am always asking about myself. Even if I am asking about others, all this time it is always about my self. This morning I relaize the iching can be asked about the Great Way. As Harmen said. I can ask question of it to learn of the Great Way. Not myself in realtion to it, but it as it is. The Great Way. Just to learn. I ask the iching for this as way to question it as Gene says and it says hexagram 26.

Dear Ionia,

I'm sitting here grinning like a fool. Why? I hear myself in your post. That is, I hear myself before I got Hexagram 26 -- http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/I_Ching_community/messages/92/640.html?1052094189. After I got Hexagram 26, I began an odyssey on this forum that has changed my life. And on this odyssey I discovered, with the help of the Yi and the kind people of this forum, the source of my fear of marriage -- http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/I_Ching_community/messages/48/753.html?1061368954 -- see specifically the story I recount in my post of Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 03:07 am. There are many posts in many threads between these two that I've linked here, but Hexagram 26 is where I began my journey and Hexagram 50 is where I finally got to the root of my fear of marriage.

I'm wishing you all the best on your Hexagram 26 journey.

Cheerio the noo,

Val

Well you are of a very kind woman. After I receve this hex 2 and the help here it is so clear to me to never have love for one person one man like this. Like this is a dream my whole life that is actually wrong, is hanging me up my whole life making me trip and fall. since I was a child long to have a love like this. after this hex 2, I know this is finish. Must have the love for the All this is the only way. So I never felt so clear about this and my whole days are spent in like ray of sun open from my body everywhere, everyone I talked to I can give the right thing to. Never so happy in my life. I decide to live like this with the Great Doa. You see. Now of course I meet someone I have feelings for, so much love, someone i love from the Sun but of couse this is impossible how can it ever to be. Now at this time to love someone like this. I try to love without keeping. How to love when one cannto have it. someone can not love forever this is what I think and I wish a love to be forever. we are only human body gets old and dies, how do I think love can come from only other human who must have their life too. I dont know if i tell it well. But how why can I love a man now when I see what is true, but still have this feeling for this man. love. But you are such lovely kind woman, I am reading all of your lifes you write, I am so humble you mention me in your thoughts.

Ionia...

I am the one feeling humbled by your passion for love and life.

If I'm understanding you correctly, the Yi isn't telling you nothing can happen with this man. It sounds like you have expressed your fear to the Yi, and the Yi acknowledges it. But that doesn't mean there's no basis for a relationship with this man you love.

And Harmen's translation from the Yilin sounds like there's nothing hindering you. This is all good.

Cheerio the noo,

Val
