I have been getting back into working with the I Ching for personal inner work, and was hoping I could get some outside opinions on the interpretation of two questions I have asked. The implications of the answers to me are quite heavy, so I'd like to hear what others have to say about them before I settle on anything. I'll keep most of my interpretations to myself so as not to bias anyone.
-- "What is my purpose?" 3. Chun/Difficulty at the beginning.
-- "What does my first dream mean?" 18. Ku/Work on what has been spoiled. 6 at the beginning.
Without getting too personal, both of these clearly resonate with me. The second question is referring to the first dream I can ever remember having, when I was very young. It was simply an image, intensely numinous, of a small pool of water in a dark forest, with a log jutting out over the middle. I am a very powerful dreamer, and have since had countless dreams involving deep water and fish, but the disconcerting energy of this one stayed with me for years. It felt like a place I had been before, or needed to find; familiar yet foreign, calling to me. It was hard to know if it was a memory or a dream. Other early childhood dreams of dense forest thickets felt the same, and disturbed me. I had actually asked that same question last year and gotten 8. Pi/Holding together, but wanted to redo it because I had accidentally misordered the lines last time, from 1 to 6 instead of 6 to 1. Both seem similar, and I do think the original answer is also valid, since I was unaware of my mistake.
The first question struck a chord with me as well, reflecting much of my life and goals for the future. I am an extremely spiritually sensitive, philosophical, and artistic person to the point of mental illness, and have had a very hard life, but my tenacity and vision has always kept me focused in the long term. I am very interested in Jungian psychology am have been reluctantly dragged into overwhelming shamanic experiences many times in dreams and waking life.
