Hello,

I have been apart from my dearest friend since January due to misunderstandings.
According to many advices given by the I Ching I should not go after him, leaving him to decide the right moment to come back.
Needles to say that I have been crying and in distress since then, waiting and waiting for his call that has not happen yet.
Today, once again I have tossed the coins and received hexagram 45 – 1. 6
Changing to hexagram 25.

If someone could help me to interpret the lines of the first hexagrams, I would be grateful, please.

Last year I received many advices asking me to be careful regarding my relationship with friend and I did not follow them. One of the advices said clearly “Bloody tears flow: one should not persist in this” But because of my own ignorance and arrogance I did not change my attitudes. Today I have to lament every single hour and just wait patiently for things to get better.

Thank you for just listening to me.
:hug:

I am sorry to hear your difficulties. I am not sure about the past reading but this one is quite clear in my opinion. And, I am not sure about the specific question you asked. But, I will read the answer in the light of the general distress you are describing and assume your question was related to this experience.

45.1, 6 > 25 Contact/connection/gathering in the context of not embroiling.

45 as LiSE calls it is "Gathering". This has been my experience of it: a gathering together, connection, a bring together. Your lines are also clear.

LISE's 45.1 "...if one reaches out to each other, harmony can always be restored again. Contact is much more important than being perfect. Unity is a question of staying in touch, interested in each others mental whereabouts or, in an enterprise, keeping sight of the overall picture."

LISE 45.6 "f you want to be heard, then make yourself be heard. If you want to accomplish something together, then ask, explain, suggest, inspire - anything which makes them know your intentions or needs. Come out with it!"

If you want contact in the context of not embroiling, then make contact. If you want change, the advocate for change you need in the spirit of Gathering.

i would advice you to take cautions.

the first line of 45 is indeed very nice and it fit very well with your actual situations.
it also represent the first step or the beginning of the situation.

line six is a line to scare since it make change hex 45 into hex 12:
A person occupies a high-ranking position but has no people to join him.

well in your case the hex doesn't change to 12 but to 25.
25 stay for the unexpected. this mean that things will not take the course you have in mind. 25 stay also for innocence acting without willful.
i think that you need that things happens from alone.... if you want to succeed.

Some quotes (from Hilary's brilliant book) about hexagram 25:

"Without Entanglement
Key Questions: What is real? What is genuinely your responsibility, and what is not yours at all?"

"To be entangled is to be caught up in futile, groundless things: deluded beliefs, reckless actions, or a compulsion to rewrite the past or control the future."

The primary hexagram (45) and its lines (1 and 6) describe heightened emotions being okay, and having a truthfulness about them. It could well be advocating finding people to gather together with to help you share these emotions you're going through, so that it's easier for you to disentangle and see your way clear again.

Regards

Nebu
