So can we all.I can use all the help I can get =-D
Yes, this IS helpful. I do feel I need to shed an ego-driven side of myself. That will certainly lead to growth. The something not yet finished. Hmmm. Perhaps the growth itself? As one of the hexagrams refers to my relationship with my shadow-triggering friend, I am quite certain this is all connected to the side of myself I try to keep hidden - even from myself - which leads to inauthentic, ego-driven responses to things.43 is a decisive but non violent getting rid of someone or something.26 is about growing up and maturing/domesticating.64 is something not yet finished.(maybe this will help)
I would suggest to define what you mean by 'enlightenment' first.What advice will help me on my journey to enlightenment?”

Of course I know Taoists aren’t Buddhists. Lol. For me, the term, “enlightenment” is a succinct way of saying I want to be filled with light. I would like to be a positive spirit in supporting the rising up of humanity.I would suggest to define what you mean by 'enlightenment' first.Is it clearly defined in your mind? (If so, tell us what the word means to you?)There is no universal consensus among people as to what the word means.Different religions will offer a spectrum of ideas.Are you thinking of the Buddhist concept? (And even then which one? Transcendence? Nihilistic escapism? Being filled with wisdom? Or Edification?) Also, you should that know Taosists aren't Buddhists.
How could I have known? (You started with a Buddhist term, then expressed interest in Taoist books)Of course I know Taoists aren’t Buddhists. Lol.
Excellent, seek virtue.For me, the term, “enlightenment” is a succinct way of saying I want to be filled with light. I would like to be a positive spirit in supporting the rising up of humanity.
Ah my friend. I would be sad if he were the one I have to let go as I mostly enjoy our interactions. Tricky too, as we work together. He entered my life around the time I started this path and I have been learning a lot about myself via my dynamic with him. Alas, he can be rather immature, so he does fit the criteria.Tell us about your 'shadow'-triggering friend? (This might be the person that your Maturation (26), will require you to Disperse (59) with?)(Example: Sandy and Billy are both five years old and enjoy giggling in the corner and eating boogers.One day Sandy decides there must be a better way of living. So, she gives her stockpile of boogers to Billy (disperses her stockpile) and moves on to her future in fine chalk art, never looking back.)59-64It is the Dispersal that is Unfinished.In 59.4 one disperses some people and rises above.59.5 is dispersing the stockpile.
Bwahaha! No none of that. He’s honestly not even all that immature, but he is very playful and brings out that side of me. We laugh a lot. However, we also sometimes bicker like siblings in the back of a car. Never intentionally mean-spirited, we just seem to inadvertently trigger emotions in each other without meaning to. I’ll say something joking and he’ll say I’m being mean or he’ll play around and tease me and I become pouty. That’s partly when all the shadowy stuff bubbles up. It’s over such ridiculous things, but that coupled with a magnetic pull towards each other makes our friendship intense, at times. As a result, I tend to wax and wane and wax and wane with him. To make it clear, in the year we’ve known each other we have never been romantically involved. We just both think the other is adorable and like each other’s company. We have only spent time with each other at work.So, what are the boogers in your situation?Do you guy watch MMA or the Kardashians together, or drink yourselves sick?
