Is there anyone I can truly trust at.present?​

Hexagram 28, Great Exceeding​

Key Questions​

What is overloaded?
What have you outgrown?
What must you do?

Oracle​

'Great Exceeding, the ridgepole warps.
Fruitful to have a direction to go.
Creating success.'
When you exceed something, you cross over a line and make a transition. The traditional Chinese house has a structure like an old-fashioned tent: uprights support a horizontal ridgepole, and all the weight of roof and walls is suspended from there. Here, the ridgepole's limits have been exceeded; the supporting framework is no longer adequate to the weight it's asked to bear.
This means stress, and also a greatness of spirit and purpose that goes beyond the scope of the situation. It is fruitful to have a direction to go, to reach out imaginatively and explore. Since things cannot hold up as they are, there must be movement.

Image​

'The lake submerges the tree: Great Exceeding.
A noble one stands alone without fear,
Withdraws from the time without sadness.'

Sequence​

Great Exceeding follows from Hexagram 27, Nourishment:
'With no nurturance, it is not possible to act, and so Great Exceeding follows.'

Changing Lines​

Line 5​

'Withered willow sprouts flowers,
Venerable woman gets an upright husband.
No blame, no praise.'

Hexagram 32, Lasting​

Key Questions​

What inspiration are you making real in your daily life?
How can you continue on the same path, even as you adapt?
Who will you become by persevering in this?

Oracle​

'Lasting, creating success.
Not a mistake.
Constancy bears fruit,
Fruitful to have a direction to go.'
Whatever becomes part of the heart's circling journey will last. We bind things – influences, ideas, people – into the fabric of our lives by integrating them into the daily round of our way of living, so that they are carried with us through change.
This is an active creative process, keeping the channels always open for exchange between inspiration and reality. Lasting tirelessly on your own path, whatever landscapes it travels through, is not a mistake.
What lasts bears fruit, not because you 'arrive' at some final destination, but because through all the changes you persevere in your intent and inspiration, and you are always finding ways to make it real.

Image​

'Thunder and wind: Lasting.
A noble one stands firm and does not change his bearings.'

Sequence​

Lasting follows from Hexagram 31, Influence:
'The way of husband and wife cannot fail to endure, and so Lasting follows.
Lasting means enduring.'

Hi Thanatos,

Rem here. Here's my take on your reading:

Your question: is there anyone I can truly trust at the moment?
Your reading: H28.5 to 32

Yes you can truly trust someone at the moment. This person is someone who:

1. you can talk to and express yourself (Outer Lake) without resistance and with gentleness (Inner Wood)
2. also is encouraging, because he/she also strived to be courageous (stands alone without fear)
3. and he/she has timeless insights drawn from processing his/her emotions (withdraws from time without sadness)

4. despite the struggle, has full of hope (withered willow sprouts leaves)
5. and commits to what is ethical and kind (venerable wife gets upright husband)
6. And has a mindful equanimous view of things (no blame, no praise)

7. is top of your mind, always, when it comes to important life concerns (H32, Lasting)
8. has a firm and stable understanding of things (stands firm, does not change his bearings)

I hope this helps.

Thank you so much for your reply and the fact that I replied is in itself a blessing in more than one directions and respects. Now that I am beginning to understand with a growing depth having only just met with, and soexpanded my rapport with this ancient and timeless wisdom. Nice one!

 

[Missy Milland]

I appreciate your answer and,d'you know what .....there is a person who I reckon I can truly trust , with a little work, and that persons me! Basically, until I can stand firm and proud and in so doing come back from the jaws of death by my own hand, move back into my world and learn to live again, I will be able to return to my self and trust in myself for until I do that, how can I possibly look to another for a depth of trust? So I thank you for sharing time with well meant guidance as that was a catalyst of importance as it enabled me to see the truth of the matter myself which I would a done otherwise. Please check my new thread. I think it's another similar reply and 23

Glad to read this Missy! And I hope the Yi will help you a long way as it did to me. As for trusting people, I know this is not easy, and the most important person to trust is oneself. I'm pretty sure you're on the right path with this insight. Blessings to you!
