Is the Oracle calling me a Dodo Bird? Or a dull Troll?

*It may seem that this subject is all that I think about but it is definately NOT. It is however, the only thing that I ever really ask the IC about. I use the IC for things that I do not have a grasp on. As I have a "grasp" on everything else in my life..there is no need to ask about other issues*

First of all, Thanks to Rosada for the very interesting interpration of line 59 in the "Whispering in my ear" thread.

Rosada, (I am speaking directly to her but indirectly of course to anyone who wants to speak)

Someone else also mentioned, in the thread about line 19 about going and then returning after people have learned and evolved.

I asked the Oracle, "Will X return to me on his own"?

And got, Hex 24 Return, unchanging.

Ok that's pretty obvious.

So I asked, "what will cause him to return?? "..

And the Yi answered my question but seemed to roll her eyes at me first.

She answered 27.1.4 leading to 35 Progress

Providing Nourishment

Line 1 says: "You let your magic tortois go and look at me with the corners of your mouth drooping".

I have seen this line before and can't help but visualize that the Oracle is making reference to a someone who reminds her of a troll or a dodo bird. Have you ever seen the pictures of a troll? They stand there, looking at you, with the corners of their mouth drooping and drool as if to say, "DUH".

anway, after that the Oracle answered with line 4:

Turning to the summit for provision of nourishment
Brings good fortune,

Spying about with Sharp eyes
Like a Tiger with insatiable craving. No Blame

I get the feeling that the IC was talking to me about my question in line 1 and then answering my question about "what" causes X to return in line 4.

Sincerely,

Dodo Bird

ps
I have to add, I like the oracle's sense of humour..she seems like an old aunt that bakes me pie and sits me down at the kitchen table to talk..then slaps me upside the head occassionally..but only with love in her hand and a chuckle in her voice.

Despite calling me a Dodo bird, the IC seems to be very invibration with me today.
I asked, "WHEN will X come back?" and got:

Line 19.3 Approach

Comfortable approach
nothing that would further
If one is induced to grieve over it
One becomes free of blame.

edit:

oh my...

When I asked "and HOW will X approach?"

Answered: 54.1.2
That damn Marrying Maiden! That's ok though, as I have gotten 54.3 about my future in general a few times..
but 54.1.2..
someone else said

By the way,some Yi wisdoms on 54.1.2:

Softly,look at things from an independent perspective.
Good to stay hidden ...
and you will know the answer you seek if you stay on that.


If i get 54.1.2, I would probably "leave a clue to myself" (when I feel comfortable)
on how I would carry myself during this time.
When I am sure I have got the message and question clear enough, consult Yi for guidance.
Do it slowly.
Tao is "effortless".

Chris's perspective on the lines in 54 seems different though: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~ddiamond/h54.html

Is it obvious ? 24 most often refers to return to ones true path rather than the return of someone.

Its clear you really want him to return to you, but what has he to offer now with his partner having twins on the way - and having one already makes 3 kids he has to find some love for hopefully - plus you know hes a liar and thinks nothing of deceiving her or you.

Your understanding of your other answers are all in the light of your belief 24 means he will return so i can't comment - but even if he does return he has a massive commitment to his current partner - I see 54 in that light.

I don't know if you want him to return to you as in leaving his family to make you his partner or return to you as it was before as his mistress so to speak. Well 54.1 does say pretty literally you can make progress as a secondary wife - and line 2 is that of a lonely loyal widow. So if we take that at face value it would seem he may return but it would be on exactly the same basis as before - you would be secondary and you'd likley be without him a fair amount of time.

Hi Trojan,

Thanks for your thoughts. You asked what I want. I want:

Complete and total financial independance and prosperity so that I can be with any man I choose without ever feeling the temptation to make a choice based on financial security. Allowing me to lead the life I want. Which would include having him as a main lover for a while all the while leaving the door open for a new, enriching experience with another man later on.

I have much less inclination marry than I do to have my own freedom.

In other words, if I could wave a magic wand and make myself financially rich I would most likely not marry until late in life. I would only have another child if I really wanted and would not feel the need to have the man around to help if he didn't want to be there.

In a way, this man and I share the same core. We want our freedom. Perhaps that is why we have so much mutual attraction. But as long as I do not have my side the way I want it, I feel things are unbalanced. Which is why I block him and his approaches..even though I want him.

Either way I am in the process of creating the things that I want.

Somehow..even writing this just helped me see more clearly what the attraction between us is. I never saw it so clearly before. But Like Attracts Like.
Two passionate people who value passion and freedom are most definately going to attracted to each other. But we both need to have our ducks in a row.

I have spent time wandering around the crooked, cobble stoned streets of the European city I live in giving thought to the situation.

I NEVER imagine us married. But I do imagine me having my home the way I want it, my freedom to do as I please, and him coming around once or twice a week as a lover..

Interesting.
When I asked the IC, why are X and I so mutually attracted to each other? what is the attraction she answered, "31 unchanging"

this has been quite theraputic

I did think about the affects of our relationship on his marriage. So I asked,
How will I ultimately affect his marriage?
And, got: Hexagram 41.3
When three people journey together,
their numbers decrease by one
When one man journeys alone
he finds a companion..

If anyone doubts the realness of the IC, when you get answers like this..you should never doubt again.

So, you want to have financial security, sex on-tap and no responsibility until the real deal comes along. Well, that's getting to the crux of the matter and refreshingly honest! :rofl:

However, your needs apart, it seems like a very weak reason to give his wife and kids...
