Question as above, results are worrying.. Travellers Inn burns down? Due to arrogance? I put too much interest in trivial matters? I don't understand???

21 tells about me coming back to the same old evil pattern and yes I did returned to eating crisps and sweets due to prolonged stress recently.. But I am quiting them again immediately. Lol. But still a 56 is worrying. :(

Mr Kind

Wanted to reply to your post as you so kindly gave me some good tips.
I often get 56 about myself as I am the traveler not living in my home country,I believe aftrr looking at your posts you too.
Hilary says you are just passing through your creative involvment limited.

My 56 has ladted years I get a lot of 56.4.
The traveller with job and place to stay who is unhappy.

When I ask too often I get 56.1 the stranger mean and meanly occupied she brings on herself further calamity.

Stop asking perhaps?Juat get on with life until you have travelled through ?

Hope this is helpful.

The answer says that it will last just a bit longer (wild guess: two-three more months). The lines are both a strong warning to you, that this is not a favourable time for any substantial achievements. So don't get distracted by trivial matters (crisps?) and don't burn your bridges, even if they're temporary bridges. 21 shows a struggle, or even the saying of grin-and-bear-it.

Thank you both. I already had thoughts that I should put Oracle aside and just go with my gut feeling. Last year everyone was telling me that I won't find anything, and it was also against all odds but I did succeeded. Ok this year is just crazy (just Google Dublin housing crisis) but still..

A lot depends on luck. Which is where divination comes in, to show you which way the wind is blowing at the moment.

Yes exactly I agree but also you see how I Ching can impact me negatively - when I read some bad read like ''The lines are both a strong warning to you, that this is not a favourable time for any substantial achievements.'' it might put me in the mood of ''well then its not even worth to look for anything'' - from the other side, the energy is different. Last year there were 3-4 people at every viewing. Or none. This year there are 15-20 to see a single bad flat. And on every single one there is some rich guy from corporate job and you just know he can overpay you easily... It's really depressing. So I am coming up with weird ideas https://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/fri...selling-the-flat-Sequel-Hex-1-2-4-gt-37/page2 like here [last post and one on the next page] ... I assume Oracle was also suggesting I can share a flat with other people but so far both options from people from my work turned out badly. And I just know I won't be happy in such circumstances, I am just too sensitive for it. So I dont have any other ideas.

You need to look at the overall direction you are taking far more than the details.


You asked how long this impasse will last ? Yi answers that you are a traveller, you are on your way somewhere, you aren't yet at home in your life. As such take the advice Yi gives to the traveller which is good common sense advice. Travellers don't get caught up too much in affairs along the way, they can't afford to, they need to get somewhere.

If a traveller comes upon a conflict in the town he's passing through he doesn't stop to take part in it because he's on his way.

So you aren't exactly at an impasse you are on a journey (56) in which you really need to be forward looking, focused on where you are headed (56) not get sidetracked by too much detail (56.1) and not try to make things permanent or get too enmeshed in circumstances you are only travelling through (56.3).


So my sense of the overall reading in my own words is that Yi is saying this to you

"Mr Kind ! Please realize you do need to be making some decisions (21) whether or not the accommodation is quite suitable be aware you need to choose without taking such detail into account. If it isn't quite what you want it doesn't matter so much because it's not a permanent situation. Good enough for now is good enough. Please don't get snagged up on unnecessary considerations (56.1) as that drags you back and also try in some way to minimize this whole thing because otherwise it's getting bigger and bigger in your mind until it feels unmanageable. Also on the positive side this isn't a reprimand it is simply urging you forward - look ahead, you are on a journey. If you are on a journey then there is somewhere you are going :) this is good isn't it. You are headed somewhere - where you are now in life isn't where you always will be. Keep on going".



So this is a sharp message to you but not a negative depressing one. There is never any need to take an answer as depressing if you realize that whatever commentators write the message from Yi will always be for your highest progress in the situation you are in.


It is so important to understand this and it worries me to hear you say

You must never let the I Ching impact on you negatively. What has happened is you have read some commentary - and remember what you quote is not the I Ching but a commentary on the I Ching and a rather ridiculous one at that ! I mean good grief 56.3 doesn't always mean that ! Toss that in the bin.


The I Ching doesn't say it's not time for achievements it speaks of a traveller burning an inn down -which isn't great, granted but it's advice about behaviour you need to avoid. It's behaviour where you may become too 'big' for or too demanding for, what the circumstances can allow. You can avoid that I think by becoming aware of your role as a traveller - and also be pleased you are a traveller - even though you are sick of it because you are headed towards something. If a traveller thinks he is going nowhere he may be depressed - but if a traveller knows deep down he has a quest then he moves quickly on with things and makes decisions (21).



I do not think you cast has anything whatsoever to do with crisps or sweets and I think if you rest with that meaning you miss the point of the cast and it is a sharp point you need to be aware of - but not a cast of doom.



I know how it is when you think the I Ching is just giving you bad news, I'd sometimes see it that way myself years ago when I only had a few bad commentaries and felt "hey whatever I do you say it's not a good idea :rant: " but that's not the reality I think of Yi's message even with dire looking casts. You must think of this cast as loving, as trying to help you by saying 'psst stop focusing too much on detail' and so on and so on.



Having said all that I acknowledge it is a very difficult situation for you when there is so little available accommodation but I think you must have faith this will come good if you can think like a man on his way somewhere. So things are moving forward in your work life I think - people want your skills so there is progress - but it's still a journey.



BTW for some time I was living in unsuitable places and everyone said 'you will never get somewhere you can afford in this city' but there was something. I don't think you should listen to voices either outside or inside your head that tell you it's hopeless. You might get somewhere perfect, or you might by the look of the cast take somewhere temporary that's not perfect - but either way you are on your way somewhere, all travellers are.

Thank you for your thorough analysis on that. You might be right, I tend to see a negative spin on things recently.
So you aren't exactly at an impasse you are on a journey (56) in which you really need to be forward looking, focused on where you are headed (56) not get sidetracked by too much detail (56.1) and not try to make things permanent or get too enmeshed in circumstances you are only travelling through (56.3).
This situation also made me realize that years are passing by, most of my friends in my homeland already got mortgages/own houses and I am still here without significant savings and without a chance to save money for a deposit/mortgage here in Ireland. That's the paradox - I earn more in EUR when compared, but I am still not able to get anything significant because cost of living is so high. So my long time goal would be to have a flat on my own.
"Mr Kind ! Please realize you do need to be making some decisions (21) whether or not the accommodation is quite suitable be aware you need to choose without taking such detail into account.

Yes, agreed. As per my previous viewings I simply cannot move into a flat covered in mold or in a place with people who are drinking more than anything else. (sharing a small flat with people like that would negatively affect my health very quickly) But apart few things the place need to allow me (relatively clean, so that I will be able to do yoga, and if living with people there needs to at least be some connection) I think I will just still be looking, hoping for the best but also don't do it so frantically as I did because I only ruined my health with the stress.

Also the thing re changing the work - new position would only give me a small increase in salary and probably big increase in stress as compared to my current place. I would need to learn from the start and had probationary period of 6 months, with big questions like how the accumulated stress both from having no stability in terms of not having a place to live and new job will affect me [as I am already feeling its impact]. You know, whether its worth the risk.. if it looks like I will need to be sharing anyway. then the small difference in money is not worth the additional stress and yet another uncertainty.

HEX 56.1.3 both of the changing lines suggests to me that in your search for how much longer must you be in your "current impasse" is dependent on your way of being.

Line 1: suggests that maybe you are not focusing on the right things, petty things or insignificant things. I am not sure with what your are struggling.

Line 3: this is almost a repeat of line 1. Again Line 3 suggests that emotion, your heart, your will to have it your way is getting in the way of a solution.

Both lines suggest to me that there is a lack of willingness to get out of your own way.

The Traveler must be conscientious of what he does as he is moving about the land. He has no home but must accommodate himself by accommodating others. The Traveler is responsible for making his own success meaning he must be able to communicate with people at a level they understand. He must be focused on a win-win situation otherwise it leads to a very uncomfortable stay in a foreign place. Essentially, it is up to YOU to find your impasse by not only focusing on yourself but on how it will effects everyone involved.

There are simply not enough flats in this city left, Google Ireland housing crisis. I saw 16 flats, from which most were too expensive, too small, too dirty /covered in mold (unsuitable!) and the ones that were ok, produced no results. It's not much about adjusting my way, this can be done only as much.

MrKind, I would like to further drive home Trojina's point about the advice the I Ching is presenting to you, and to us. I don't think you should look at it as giving you a set-in-stone, preordained glimpse of the future -- where your only response can be, 'crap, this is really bad.'

Instead, you might look at it as wise council from a trusted friend, who might be giving you perspective, advice, and even warning -- but isn't taking away the fact that you're an active participant in this situation.

For example, the line about burning down the inn or the wanders' camp could be advice about 'not burning your bridges,' (as one possibility) and not some ill omen about your circumstance. The overall theme of The Wanderer, or The Traveler might imply that you need to 'wander around a bit' to get a wider perspective, or that a core issue for you might be about feeling like an outsider in (or to) your own life. (A girlfriend of mine once observed that it seemed like I was 'camping out' -- it was like I was not fully 'occupying' my own life, but was instead being somewhat tentative in it, or about it.)

The I Ching opens up possibilities for change -- and perhaps advice or signposts about that change -- but I don't think it's pointing to 'I am just sh_t out of luck' as your only option.

" Line 3: this is almost a repeat of line 1. Again Line 3 suggests that emotion, your heart, your will to have it your way is getting in the way of a solution.Both lines suggest to me that there is a lack of willingness to get out of your own way" this is what I don't get, because it can only be two things - either "my way" became being negative and depressed because the housing crisis is very real and I just stopped believing I can find anything (especially that I was looking for a flat just one year ago for three months and now I need to do it all over again with I ching suggesting that I will need to share flat with strangers which I hate, as I did it for so many years, rather than rent on my own) - so this means I'm blocking myself... OR my will of having it "my way" that is to find a suitable place, is blocking me but wouldn't you want to live in a nice place? I don't see anything wrong with not agreeing to live in substandard conditions, right?

Another thing is that from 16 (sixteen!) flats I've seen I would consider moving in only to two maybe three of them, that's how bad it is in here. It's really depressing.

And for every flat you have 30-50 people wanting to move in, I'm single I can't even compete with couples or very rich people who offer much more than advertised.

again the traveler truly does apply... as you seek for an abode. It still remains on how you adjust your ways or way of thinking. Are you expecting something that is not possible? Please there is no judgement in my thoughts sincerely. Line 1 and Line 3 suggest a certain amount of impatience or frustration. So in that being what is it that you want? It is possible you may need to wait longer for the right flat or change your criteria.

I apologize my intent is not to offend. You can have it all, absolutely!
You are the traveler in search of a place to give you shelter and comfort. At the same time, you are in a difficult situation because you only what is available to you. Maybe the ideal place does not come immediately but maybe over time. As you progress in your career or business you will be able to afford the higher end places. Also in time the market may turn in your favor. My interpretation of the I Ching is that emotions are getting in the way of finding the best path to getting what you want. It is about looking at what you know you can do AND still plan for what you exactly want.

What is the one thing that is holding you back? What is it in you that is holding you back? It is only you that you can control.

thanks and this was true. new good place arrived when I mentally let go the idea of renting on my own at this point... before I sort of wanted it, but not really... well, I still don't dream about it but I did thorough analysis and just accepted the fact that it is no longer suitable to rent alone in current circumstances. :) thank you again
