.... And then we have 52 which does kind of suggest we need to turn our back and go inward, not make tons of huge moves just because we are agitated. Perhaps you can be aware of the troubles of the world without internalizing as much.
Having allegiance to something, working on it with others, maybe even inspiring others to work with you, being true to what you believe, and working with the violence within that’s a reflection of the violence outside might be some of the ways the casting is answering “how to go on”
Hi Liselle,D_squared, in case you haven't found it already, Hilary wrote a blog post about 2.6 which might be helpful:
How to go on in an insane and deluded world ? 2.3.6 to 52
.... I don't get much insight ... (looking at the line text), and ... focus mainly on the hexagram commentary ... (and then a bit later) .... but am fascinated to see what has been hidden in my subconscious, promptly brought to the surface on reflex by the text of 2.6 .
The war continues.
.... everything I love and warms my heart fades away soon, while the dark realities expand fast.
I wonder if perhaps the absence of self-concern refers to your expectations? Not your health. People tend to use themselves as a yardstick for what 'should' be. That can be isolating and distorting at times. And we can mistakenly then feel responsible for changing these people and circumstances.~ @ ~
Despite knowing that my physical vision and my mind-eyes do not present the "real truth", what I can perceive with them about the world today still hurts terribly .
Before me, Earth is a planet of delusion, a techno-biological playground of the elites, populated by hapless inmates unknowingly imprisoned by tyrants-in-disguise . Humanity is now being pushed into a future of transhumanist-existence , punctuated by an open-ended sequence of hi-tech life-altering injections .
Dear Yi King,
How to go on in an insane and deluded world ?
"Receptivity", focusing on "Mountain stillness".
"Learn what life demands of you, then follow the hint from fate ?"
"Inner stillness , the absence of self-concern" .
Pretty tall order !
How do I attain the absence of self-concern ? By giving up my individualness, ignoring and relinquishing the integrity of my health , the sanctity of my body ? All for what ? to aid the birth of Human 2.0 ? ?
Good point. The reading could be seen as "receptive earth becoming more mountain-like." Mountains represent boundaries - maybe try a news hiatus? Turn off the television, don't read the paper, avoid news on the internet.A mountain stays steady through all kinds of social upheavals and though it's exposed to them it isn't limited to them or defined by them.
the 2.6 line reminds me of a dream that came right in the heart of 2020. the atmosphere of fear and unrest was so strong, particularly online (i was practically glued to social media watching spectacles unfold), it felt palpable.Hi Liselle,
Thank you for the tip regarding "hexagram 2.line 6" . Having just had time to read the mentioned blog late today , I found it a good and interesting story about "dragon", but could not really obtain from it further meaningful clues to the question in my mind .
Looking up the original Chinese text for "hexagram 2.line 6" , I found reference to a bloody battle between dragons . My attempt at word-for-word translation yields the following:
"Dragons fighting in the field , spilling blood black and yellow"
In Chinese culture, "dragon" symbolises positive, almost supernatural, strength . Given the current context of my query, if I had to venture a guess, then the text of this unstable line 6 could very well be a hint of looming confrontations/showdowns between extremely powerful forces in the external world . It seems that internally one would have to be as firm and steady as a mountain to withstand this sort of events .
Before me, Earth is a planet of delusion, a techno-biological playground of the elites, populated by hapless inmates unknowingly imprisoned by tyrants-in-disguise . Humanity is now being pushed into a future of transhumanist-existence , punctuated by an open-ended sequence of hi-tech life-altering injections .
Pretty tall order !

advice to focus on our own situation and maintain our boundaries
I generally agree with you: if we are both in a burning building, I assume we might agree that the fire is the threat, along with the risk of the building collapsing, etc.... if it's an actual identifiable threat, that's different, then of course you'll worry and maybe even panic. Everything we're scared by isn't like that, though.
