You got 50.4 for 'what if I trust him' good grief how anyone can make out 'yes trust this' is well beyond me...I would think very carefully as this answer shows if you trust him it could get very messy for you...your person could be soiled, ie your feelings hurt, your dignity hurt.
42.5 is often a reading of consolation. You will make the right choice., your heart is in the right place However you asked the same question twice really. First time you got 50.4, second time 42.5. Even if i see 42.5 as a consolation line they are very different auspices.
whatever you decide its worth thinking this through carefully IMO.
There is nothing in 50.4 to say you are 'spoiled' as in being like a princess.
The legs of the ting are broken.
The prince's meal is spilled
And his person is soiled.
Misfortune.
Yes, it might indicate demands or expectations.... on a person.
As I just pointed out in the adjoining thread, Wilhelm's translation _including_ commentary is more the iChing than anything you or I have to say it is, because he wrote it as a 10 year collaboration under the direct guidance of a Chinese master of the Yi (who also taught him secret Chinese Yoga practices.)
The issue here really is the added commentary in the Wilhelm that does not appear anywhere else. Sometimes it draws parallels with thought from other religious traditions. Sometimes it adds explanations.
But in fact Wilhelm's work was a direct collaboration with a Master of the Yi, and so if one is to draw assumptions, it should be that all such commentaries were directly approved by WIlhelm's Master. I mean these kind of guys are awfully strict, the kind of guys that would whack you on the head just because they don't like what you are thinking, I highly doubt such a one would have let an upstart pupil put his own words in the mouth of the Yi. The day the book went to print, says Carl Jung, the Master died.
You misunderstand AQ. The exclusionary message came from Trojan, who said we should leave out all the Wilhelm commentaries, and how I "paraphrase" them I think is how she put it. I have not in any way tried to be exclusionary regarding other translations or personal insights into the Yi. Let 1000 flowers bloom.
I think we certainly can all gain personal insights to what is true, but it's self defeating to try to do so while disrespecting the wisdom of the past.
