Hello all. I'm new at this fantastic forum and just starting my studies on I Ching. I am fascinated. I hope you can give me some help to comprehend the reply.
I asked the Yi: "What's the meaning of my attachment to the material world?". In other words, I'd like to know why I do have in mind this idea that I'll only be fully happy once I regain my financial situation (a good and recognized job, salary etc), lost in 2001. I need to know why I am a compulsive buyer. This and other symptoms were diagnosed as bipolar disorder and I am under treatment, but I believe there might be a meaning the fact that I have been born with this disease.
The reply was 61.3.4. I am trying to comprehend it for a couple of days, without success.

Thanks so much.
Mary

Hi, Mary. Yup, Hilary will probably move this to that section.

I asked the Yi: "What's the meaning of my attachment to the material world?".

First, I'm not making a physical health diagnosis from this reading, ok? That said, it does show that you go up and down according to certain stimuli. That is a conditioning, most likely, not something you were born with. Therefore there's a chance that the learned responses may be relearned or re-channeled. The trouble is: the part of you which should take the lead wanders off, following moods (line 4).

This changes to hexagram 1, which is full of great potential. Its potential relies on your ability to endure, to not tire in your efforts. This is the means that can return your sense of direction, purpose and self esteem, though it may not look the same exactly. Our wealth shifts along with our values.

Thanks!!

Meng, I replied your message creating a new thread at the right forum. Its title is "Help a newcomer".
I'll repeat it anyway:

Thanks for your reply Meng!

From what I learned about bipolar disease both from my doctors and my personal researches, it is indeed something that one partially inherits and partially is born with the incapacity to recapt some kinds of neurotransmissors. We go up (upper than acceptable) and down (idem), because of this oscilation. Unfortunately it is not conditioning or channeling. We have to take medicines.

I have the idea (perhaps wrong) that this may be something brought from other lives or some kind of karma. As to this issue I am not pragmatic or evolutionist. I identify myself with Allan Kardec's and Buddhist comprehension. Being so, I would like to get rid of this wrong materialist value. This is related to what I was asking the Yi.
Honestly, I am worried that if I do not change my values completely I may be going through the wrong path.
Kind regards.
Mary.
