Tom you can't edit someones post just because it does not address the topic of the thread.
but I still have a question how can I take 50.4 that is negative with 24.1 and 42.5 that are both postive? is 50.4 a warning about the external enviornment or really just about my personal issues?
dear all,
I did not expect that a debate and another storm happening here.
But I really deeply appreciate your inputs and generosity which really makes me contemplate and examine myself how I can walk through my psychological storm.
to respond to Trojan's view on 24.1. based on Balkin's book, I currently tend to take that hex 24 as "a sincere return to righteous behavior always bring improvement"and 24.6 "one has missed one's chance to return, and disaster occurs"(Balkin).
So, 24.1 may be a good timing that two people return to each other in this case.
but 50.4. when I saw it, I felt very unsettled immediately. it is not a line that would make me or everyone feel good! Immediately I saw that yi answers directly to my question sharply and suggest he may not be sincere. but I do not really know how to take the warning, particularly with two positive readings.
thanks for LL's and other's comment on 50.4 that I learn so much from your very different perspectives!
I went to see several different translation.
karcher's commentary of 50.4
"Is this being trustworthy? Disaster. Whatever you are contemplating don't do it. You will betray a trust and soil your higher principles. The way is closed.
Direction: Renovate a corrupt situation. If you let yourself be led, you can realise hidden potential. The situation is already changing."
If according to this, one way to read 50.4 , yi is talking to me. you are asking "is this being trustworthy?" well, you should stop asking this question because "you will betray a trust and soil your higher principles." What is higher principles? To put in hex 50, a ritual event, devotion to higher principle, universe, not just about a small self's ego and mind, not just your self defence system which serves your little mind, big ego, a cooking for sacred food, a cooking is a transformation......
The approach to take is to "Renovate a corrupt situation"(hex18). In my context, I need to see the corrupt situation as past is past, and think about what is now, what exactly is happening now, receiving NOW (hex2), and what kind of attitude to take will make win-win, and even benefit more than two people, I mean not the third or fourth person again!, but to the universe or society or something.
If I let myself be led by the flow(hex2), the current turning point(hex24), I can realise hidden potential.
It said, "The situation is already changing" that is very interesting. Because I have been wondering is the situation really changing and different from the past situation.
This is currently what I can understand, but of course, my psychological setback and some weakness are still there. so it maybe also what 50.4 referred that there is an important task, but I don't feel quite up to. this is misfortune. I need to make a full devotion to direct my energy following the higher principle as making a ritual, cooking sacred food.
Is it wishful thinking?
thanks for your sharing and helps.
Trojan, the question asked was not _should_ I trust this man. She asked what the result would be, what she could expect, if she went much farther down than the road than mere trust: if she had a family, children with him, what could she expect?
And Ginnie only pointed out the nature of long term relationships is both parties have work to do, on "what is spoiled" 18, problems, the way they are used to living on their own, habits, As well as on 50.4 the fact we are interdependent, no one can do it alone, and we might get PO'ed at each other and dump our feeling sometimes, make the other feel bad, we might feel a lot of stress and this could make the relationship non-nourishing sometimes.
Some relationships are obviously easier than others, and the Yi can tell you this and the Stars and all the Yentas in the neighborhood maybe. But when you love someone, if you go into it with commitment and your eyes wide open, I don't think other people really have the right to judge anyone for it. For having the courage to commit to someone, warts and all, because they love them.
I'm just saying.
LL
Looks like the post of yours I was responding to is gone anyway. Hmmm. Nevertheless, you weren't framing the 50.4 in the context of the actual question asked.
.
(the posting is now gone, whether by you or Tom IDK.)
So, 24.1 may be a good timing that two people return to each other in this case.
but 50.4. when I saw it, I felt very unsettled immediately.
