Hex 56.3 to 35 Passing of my own life?

[claroscuro]

Hello,

Please help me understand the interpretation of Hex 56.3 to 35.

My question is about what result I can expect if I continue taking a medication that has pretty bad side effects. According to my doctors I do not have many promising choices at this point and I’d rather have quality of life, but I think this med is just causing all kinds of problems instead of helping.

According to Precision Grace Interpretation on a previous tread:

“It's not really telling you either way what you should do, because decisions are always our own to make, free will is annoying that way. What the oracle is saying is that this is a major decision that will cost you a lot either way and also, I think the use of 56, traveler, points to someone who is not 'of here', they are in passing. Obviously, you cannot be just in passing of your own life, but you can be just in passing of another life …, so consider your decisions in a light of how it will affect everyone else too.”

Of course the question to the above interpretation was a bit different than mine. However, it can be applied pretty closely to my situation.

I see the answer is about no going back decisions which also result in a loss of young assistant. Does this mean that the med is my young assistant... Or is it the opposite? Would it make a difference if I continue taking it?
How can I consider my decision?

Thanks:bows:

HI Claroscuro,
that seems like a difficult situation you are in!
Please understand that I am no doctor, and therefore my interpretation is based purely on the reading.
Based on the reading, it sounds like continuing to take medication will have bad effects - burning the inn and losing your assistant could refer to bad effects to your body and soul - which you seem to feel already now, by being hesitant to continue medication. The overall Hex 56 is to me talking about you finding yourself in a situation where you don't properly see the way, because everything is strange and new. The way to avoid danger is to be very careful, and I think you are doing this by questioning the value of this medication.
I am not sure what the changing Hex 35 could mean in this context - Progress if you continue or stop taking the medication? I think this is one of the questions where I would follow up with another one, like "What is the result if I stop taking medication" or a general "Please advise me on what I should do now for my health".
All the best

maui

I think the inn burning down is your body, the fire is the bad side effects, and the lost young servant is the harming medication. Hexagram 35 suggests renewal. I think you can progress out of this situation, which is the common fate for much of humanity. I have overcome severe side effects (diarrhea, xerostomia, muscle cramps, cough) by changes in diet and by experimenting with ordinary herbs. For example, for the diarrhea I asked a friend for a list of carminatives, all available at the local health food store. After seven failures, I hit on sage, and that solved the problem. If you cautiously experiment, you may find a way to stop the side effects without stopping the medication.

Hi

I struggle with the same line too, or better, the matter that I got this line. I opened a thread recently at exploring deviation forum. You might want to visit it; there are some very useful insights people offered there.

Thinking more about this line and as an outsider, I see that it might be about what we call opportunity cost. Like if you want to have one thing you need to give up some others. Make a decision and go with it, might be one way to read 56.3.

I'm not the best person to give an interpretation at the moment but I think there is an aspect in your life that you can prolificate, like the horses of hex 35.

Wish you a cream mind for making the best for your wellbeing decision
Be well

Hex 6 UC - If I stop taking meds

Thanks Maui,
It’s been very difficult indeed.
Thanks for your interpretation, I understand you’re no doctor— my query goes beyond medical capabilities.

You are right on; I can see the overall value of Hex 56 in every aspect of my new paradigm. It is true, everything is strange and new, and do find myself questioning all I do. This can be more exhausting than the illness itself.

As you suggested, I asked “What is the result if I stop taking medication” and got Hex 6 Unchanging. If I understand this correctly, Hex 6 makes sense, I think I see myself as polarized –(every single decision, no matter how small, seems to be so detrimental) these two perceived parts of me cannot be reconciled, since they are essentially opposite (?).
Am I interpreting this right…? If so, how does this answer reflect my original query?
I appreciate your help.

Hi Anemos,

I visited your thread and found very useful insights indeed.
I like the idea of “opportunity cost.” I see how making a decision one way or another makes one feel less powerless… the notion of being in charge... a sense of control.

You give me a lot to think about finding the aspect in my life that can proliferate, and of course it ties with the ability of making decisions to have a clearer mind.

mmmh

Thanks

I don't know what you need the meds for, but my recommendation for most health problems: eat more healthy, remove toxic stuff like aspartame and sodium benzoate(turns to benzene in the body), there are a few others that are really bad for you. Look at ancient cultures. Grains contain antinutrients and I believe they are nothing other than yeast food; thats why in the ancient world they were only used in fermented products like beer and bread and otherwise cause health problems, mostly candida. Non candida yeast is good for you, is probiotic and contains many B vitamins and stuff. Kefir is very good.

And the most important thing: drink fruit and vegetables processed in a food processor or blender. celery, oranges, apples, cilantro removes metals from the body, radishes, cucumbers, kale, whatever you like and listen to your body, it will crave what it needs(not counting junk food); do this for 1 meal a day. In a few days you start feeling better; in a week you will start feeling awesome. Oh, and a tablespoon of chia seeds everyday, you can add to your fruit/veg drink.

And thank you for posting this thread because I could see clearer this line and understand better the great comments people offered in the other thread.

Not a big surprise h6, . Perhaps the solution you re looking for is somewhere in the middle. If drugs are necessary for regaining your health, maybe there is some others with less side effects. Hex 6, sometimes brings together two opposites views to have a win-win situations. Sometimes it's my feelings , my opposed options, and everything makes me be in two minds

Hi Claroscuro,

the text for Hex 6 says
CONFLICT. You are sincere
And are being obstructed.
A cautious halt halfway brings good fortune.
Going through to the end brings misfortune.
It furthers one to see the great man.
It does not further one to cross the great water.

That would to me indicate, that a cautious withdrawal from the medication will be a goode thing to do (A cautious halt halfway brings good fortune.) ; however, you should look for and find alternative therapy, as simply stopping to take anything would not be good ( Going through to the end brings misfortune. /It does not further one to cross the great water. ). This could possibly mean alternative medicine, or something milder than what you currently take (maybe homeopathy?). Going to see the great man could point to finding a new doctor / therapist / healer. I think that it also means listening to your own inner voice and wisdom, and get to your intuitive decision (I believe that the best therapy is one that you have no inner resistance against)
As you have mentioned, you are torn inside about the decision for medication, but no radical solution will be helpful right now. This I think goes back to the 56 of your previous reading, treading carefully in a strange land.

IN summary, I think the reading advises you to stop taking this medication, while not stopping to seek treatment alltogether.

I wish you all the best for your decision and for your health!

maui

Hi Kincadefoster,

Great insight!

I am checking labels for sodium benzoate contents in every item in my pantry. I was having about two tbs of organic apple cider vinegar with honey in a glass of water, but don’t think I can take much citric acid nowadays. Regarding grains, I frequently have oatmeal, rice, quinoa, whole wheat products, and coffee (is this good?). Do you consider beans and lentils (legumes) as grains? And corn, I understand it is classified as a fruit. What is your take on it? As for non candida yeast, not sure which foods contain it; besides yogurt and miso, don’t know what else contains probiotics.

For the most part, I’ve always eaten healthy never been attracted by junk, processed, or fast foods, though I have flavored coffee creamer every morning and can easily skip a meal. I know there’s controversy about dairy promoting cancer cells growth, so I’ve been trying to avoid yogurt and other milk products. I’d love to hear any ideas you might have about this.

Thank you so much for your kind response.

I was incredibly unwell for years but just got on with it, some days were better than others but I could never work out exactly what was wrong - long story short I found out about the blood type diet and that has helped me immensely.

Also one day a natuopath did a zinc test on me and I had absolutely no zinc in my body. - Liss

 

[claroscuro]

Hi Liss,
While in college I took nutrition classes where I learned about different diets (my professors referred to as fad diets) such as “Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type.” I’m glad it’s worked for you. In my case, even though I like to try different things, it’d be too restrictive; my immune system’s weakened by chemotherapy, the cancer is back, and do not have many choices left other than getting some super foods that will hopefully stop those cells from multiplying.

Thanks for the insight,

Hi Pocossin,
Thank you. I hope I can really progress out of this situation. However, the side effects of this meds outweigh the benefits, but I like the idea of experimenting with ordinary herbs. I was just reading an article about “Letting go” I think applies pretty good to my query:

…“This is a modern tragedy, replayed millions of times over…—and when we imagine ourselves to have much more time than we do—our every impulse is to fight, to die with chemo in our veins or a tube in our throats or fresh sutures in our flesh. The fact that we may be shortening or worsening the time we have left hardly seems to register. We imagine that we can wait until the doctors tell us that there is nothing more they can do. But rarely is there nothing more that doctors can do. They can give toxic drugs of unknown efficacy, operate to try to remove part of the tumor, put in a feeding tube if a person can’t eat: there’s always something. We want these choices. We don’t want anyone—certainly not bureaucrats or the marketplace—to limit them. But that doesn’t mean we are eager to make the choices ourselves. Instead, most often, we make no choice at all. We fall back on the default, and the default is: Do Something. Is there any way out of this?...

The simple view is that medicine exists to fight death and disease, and that is, of course, its most basic task. Death is the enemy. But the enemy has superior forces. Eventually, it wins. And, in a war that you cannot win, you don’t want a general who fights to the point of total annihilation. You don’t want Custer. You want Robert E. Lee, someone who knew how to fight for territory when he could and how to surrender when he couldn’t, someone who understood that the damage is greatest if all you do is fight to the bitter end.”

Most likely you are aware of the promise of the ketogenic diet, but if not, . . .

Other than Dr. Atkins diet; I didn’t know the ketogenic diet being applied for cancer treatment. It sounds promising! I am trying to sign up for a clinical trial.
