Losing the car key and the Yi Jing - 63.5>36

[emiliana2010]

Yes, I lost my car key. Parked the car right in front of the door of the warehouse, walked in, stayed 15 minutes, walked back to the car and I couldn't find the key to open it. As you can imagine I searched for it everywhere, I retraced my steps looking for that key tens of times, for days, for weeks, without really being able to accept that ok, it's lost. It's disappearence simply didn't make sense.
I asked the Yi: Where is my car key? 63.5>36

All of this happened in Feb. 2020. Yesterday I found the key. It was in a net bag which I always keep on the back seat of the car with some stuff that might turn out to be useful when driving, like a sweater, a torch light, napkins, that sort of things. Now, there is no way that I put it there by mistake, absentmindedly or in any other way because from the driver's seat I just stepped out of the car and walked straight into the warehouse.

The reading is quite cryptic to me, I never managed to make head or tail of it and now that I found the key it seems even more mysterious.

Back in Feb I also asked: Will I find my key? Got hex. 14 unchanging.

So, an arcane reading and very clear one!

I would love to hear what your take on 63.5> would be.

I wonder if it was suggesting the key was in the simplest, most obvious place? Something about the simple offering versus the complex, maybe that was about the location. Which is hard because you did so the simple thing of retracing your steps again and again. Maybe a helping spirit put it there and it was telling you that! Make an offering and you get it back. only half joking.

Not sure how many people were in your car or borrowed it (especially, since you wouldn’t be in the car at the time) but if I found a random key I might stick in something with the thought “ok so here they’ll see it and it won’t get further lost”. If that’s in any way possible, maybe that’s the offering? Literally only things I could think of haha

Thank you redoleander for your input! I like to go back and reconsider my readings when life provides the answer to what a hex was all about, but sometimes I still feel baffled.

Two years before I lost my car key (no, no, I am not a regular at loosing car keys!) and when I asked the Yi where my key was I received hex 51 unchanging.

Again I couldn't make head or tail of that answer till I found the key. I was in a bag (again!). On my chair there were two bags one on top of the other. The bags were bucket-type (I don't know how you called them in English) and the key was in the bag at the bottom.

With hex 51 the Yi game me the perfect representation of where my key was. The text and image of the hex were, in that case, not important. I felt a very strong emotion when I realized how the Yi spoke to me.

This 63.5>36 is still not understandable to me. Let's see what Time and observation bring.

All the best!

I really don't know for sure what this says - or did say - about your missing key.

One thing that comes to mind - though perhaps a bit far-fetched: Richard Rutt's 63.5 is: eastern neighbors slay an ox; not like the western neighbor's summer sacrifice. Truly receiving their blessings.

... and this made me wonder, is there some way that loosing your keys made you change your plans or timing, which may have inadvertently been of benefit to you (receiving blessings) and kept you from being the slayed ox?

The other thing is, sometimes when I lose or misplace something and then find it in an unexpected place, my first reaction is - how the heck did it get their? I never went into that (room, closet, back seat) ....

But then sometimes my memory of the event kicks in, and I remember that I did (fill in the blank) ... drop something off in that room, or reach into the back seat to grab something, or first dropped off the grocerices in the kitchen, or ....

Best. D

Hi dfreed, yes, it's true, I also had the experience to sudden remember that in fact I did something I would have swore I didn't do.
Regarding gaining some sort of benefit from loosing that key, I cannot say. After I lost it, up to yesterday I was around with my spare key, knowing I had no safety net in case I would loose that one too.

In those days my question was: Where is my car key? And 63.5>36 made no sense to me then and still does so today.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with me!

Yes, where you did find it is not anywhere I would have thought of based on the Yi's response.

And as to some sort of benefit, as I say, it's a bit far-fetched and this is something we may never know about:

.... ex. you lose your keys, and have to get a ride home, which saves you from getting in an accident .... but since you didn't find your keys and/or get in the accident .... how would you know that you would have gotten in the accident if you had found your keys?

It's more akin to the sort of drunk-stoned conversations I may have had during my college days! But since I didn't have this conversation then, who's to say if I would have had it or not have had this conversation?

How about 63.5 refers to a small offering fulfilling the essential requirements, and likewise your key was found in a small bag containing only the essential requirements?
36. and of course it was in a dark place.

 

[emiliana2010]

Yes, this makes sense to me! Great intuition Rosada!
Thank you so much. I don't like it wheìn I have the impression that the Yi speaks gibberish to me
All the best!

63.5>36: instead of looking for the "hidden" key anywhere, which demands time and energy, try to find it in nearby.

14: You already have the key, it's not lost.

I've had a few random things happen that I totally believe this!

 

[rosada]

Start acting as if you believe in helping spirits - as in acknowledging them and making thank offerings - and you'll start seeing them all over!

Thank you all for your input and perspective!
