I think that Hx 31 is very sexual. A mountain inside a lake.
0 Nine in the fifth place means:
The influence shows itself in the back of the neck.
No remorse.
The back of the neck is the most rigid part of the body. When the influence shows itself there, the will remains firm and the influence does not lead to confusion.
Nine in the third place means:
The influence shows itself in the thighs.
Holds to that which follows it.
To continue is humiliating.
Every mood of the heart influences us to movement. What the heart desires, the thighs run after without a moment's hesitation; they hold to the heart, which they follow. In the life of a man, however, acting on the spur of every caprice is wrong and if continued leads to humiliation. Three considerations suggest themselves here. First, a man should not run precipiately after all the persons whom he would like t influence, but must be able to hold back under certain circumstances. As little should he yield immediately to every whim of those in whose service he stands. Finally, where the moods of his own heart are concerned, he should never ignore the possibility of inhibition, for this is the basis of human freedom.
"The influence shows itself in the thighs." For he cannot keep still.
When the will is directed to things that one's followers hold to, this is very base.
Since the two lower lines are weak by nature, it is not surprising that they let themselves be influenced by others. But this strong line could easily master itself and not yield to every stimulus from below. It makes itself contemptible by conforming to the aims of the two lower lines, its followers.
THE IMAGE
A lake on the mountain:
The image of influence,
Thus the superior man encourages people to approach him
By his readiness to receive them.
Returning to Hex 31, line 3, I'm interested in expanding the knowledge of this line. Is there an actual conflict in the direction of an action? Or may we be swayed by others, or an outer authority because we aren't clear or focused on what we want to bring into our life....or we believe others know us better than ourselves? Could guilt, lack of self-worth or need for acceptance play a factor in this?
Is it where one must admit they aren't sure which way to go, admit they don't know, which then magnetically draws them to new avenues of information.
Thanks :bows:

Yep - all this and much more besides from my experiences - the list can appear endless but does shorten over the yearsCould guilt, lack of self-worth or need for acceptance play a factor in this?
Hi Janice
This line carries for me a sense of all that glitters is not gold, and that at times we are drawn into a course of action where all we can do is to go and look for that gold, probably looking for it at the end of the rainbow carefully hidden at the end of the hall of mirrors. Then only when we realise where the gold isn't can we come to realise where the true glitter really lies.
Yep - all this and much more besides from my experiences - the list can appear endless but does shorten over the years
When we don't lead we are drawn to follow - even to the point of getting sucked in. Nature abhors a vacuum and so admitting we don't know is a great way to lead in my book - it's the first step we can take under our own steam. A first step away from the chaos into becoming us and Nature will show us how to get there.
Or perhaps it's nothing like this at all
Be well
Mike
