Once again I'm thrown upon myself in my spiritual practice. I must understand again why I make my mistakes. I'm getting a new wooden altar of teak made for my new home. I was aghast when I discovered that they were putting in a plank of plywood at the back. I told them to replace that with teak. But I think it was a message to me in this difficult time. I thought it meant that I'm like that altar. Teak outside and plywood inside. My practice after so many years is still superficial. So I asked the Yi what the message could be and got 59.6. Disperse the blood? Leave? Does it mean that I'm scattered and must re-focus? Does it mean that replacing the plywood with teak would save me and my loved ones from harm?
Any thoughts?
Thank You!

And there I go and get the same line again and this time too I'm out on my ass so that I can understand and realise my mistakes. Maybe 59 line 6 also has to do with being in a state of banishment, of spiritual exile. This time I asked the Yi how to be more humble because I know I lack humility and this is the line I got.
If I abandon the path - we all need the right guidance and energy - there can only be misery and insanity.
They have, Yes. But although I can't go to the Temple to pray, I have access to my spiritual mentors who even now are guiding me.
Today the building contractor who cheated me and wants even more money turned up at my gate and was only deterred because of my barking doggies. Eventually he left, but not without some harsh words. I decided then to go to the police to report him. I was about to leave when one of the sanyasins turned up to give me some advice before I left. And the advice always includes the suggestion to look within for the causes of the circumstances we face. To reflect, as they say. I don't always find the answers right away, but things change for the better when I do. As within, so without. Of course, often these are karmic results brought on from previous lives, but often they are just manifestations of our attitudes and deeds. It's not easy, but it's the only way and it's always an adventure. I am told it is actually very easy. I'd like to get there.
It's not a religion, nor a cult. I'd rather not divulge it, but you will get kicked out if you keep making the same mistakes and if you are serious about your practice. If you're not, you won't get kicked out. I am very serious about my spiritual goal. My ancestors also depend on it. If you make an effort, you can always get back. Some people - like me - learn the hard way. They need shocks and knocks. It's not the first time it's happened to me. If you do go into the temple with that bad attitude and energy, you pollute everyone else with it. Why should other devotees suffer?
And for that I must realise oneness - everyone is important, everyone is special,
