Since i'm going to be 30 soon, it seems i've been seriously wondering what path my life is on...
Lets see if we can identify your hexagram totem, in general..:
(1) in general, are you focused more on facts or values?
(2) in general, do you focus on what was/is/will-be OR on what could-have-been/ins-not/could-be ?
(3) in general, are you reactive (responding to stimulus) or proactive (instigating things)?
Chris.
I can never answer questions like these. I would have to say 'don't know' or 'it depends' to all of them. Do you think anyway people can be that accurate in self assessment ?
My question was general because I'm having this strange notion that i'm on a path of some kind. I know this sounds totally vague, but it's just something I noticied about my life. Although I tend to be cautious about notions like " destiny " and all, it just seems like things are happening in my life that are leading me to a specific destination.
FWIW I notice each time I've asked similar questions i come up with 45 and various lines and I'm wondering if this is Yis answer to this kind of question - in other words its not such an individual answer more a general one ? The Yi is answering about all our paths and the way they are - something about the path of all of us.
When humans ask about their path the Yi sends 45 - okay now I'm generalising wildly from my answers and these here but I have a hunch Hmm I don't know - maybe its not so easy to get off our path, maybe it only looks like an individual effort..
Maybe, maybe I lost the plot but I know what I mean
lol, so do I. You said it clearly.
The nature of gathering is just that. The market is full of prepackaged paths, and that's what most are content with. And good for them! But given the seeking nature of the question, 45 tells it like it is. No bias or prejudice toward this or that. In fact Yi is explicit in pointing out that along with the water comes the silt (lake over earth). That's why the process must be continually revamping and renewing, or else it stagnates and becomes inert, like stone. Religious idols and institutions are carved from stone, but unless water continuously flows through them, they have no life. Or maybe they have some life, but it no longer gathers anything transforming. A living path requires a state of readiness. The unknown and unseen must be prepared for. This, I believe, is the idea of religion or spirit nature, making sacrifices, seeing the 'great man' and such, implied in 45.
Lightofreason: To answer your questions : (1) I'm more inclined to be focused on values.
(2) I do have more of a tendency to look at what might have been, could be etc. (3) I tend aldo te more reactive than proactive.

Since i'm going to be 30 soon, it seems i've been seriously wondering what path my life is on. So, after thinking about my question I went and asked the Yi " What might become if I follow the path I appear to be on? " I received as an answer Hexagram 45 with lines 1, 4 and 6 changing into Hexagram 42. I'm unsure if my interpretation is correct. Hexagram 45 speaks of coming together, as in a group forming or something similar. As for hexagram 42 it speaks of increase, of something growing but only temporarily. Does it mean I'll join a group of like minded people or that a group might form around me? At the moment I don't think I understand the yi's answer. I would appreciate other people opinions and advice. Thank You.
