Newbie to town, new state

[candida]

Hi
Our family recently moved to WVa from PA.
I asked "What is to be the most likely outcome if we stay in our new town?" and got hex 50 line2 about "If my enemy dislikes me" and hex 56 no lines. Does this mean we might be in for some trouble?
It is real lonely here despite the fact that I have gone out of my way to make friends.

It's sounds like you'll be okay if you stay careful and IF it's true that circumstances shield you. The line implies that there won't be problems despite the tension, but the protection is, at least in cases where I've gotten the line, mostly social. (For example, there might be discrimination against someone, but since discrimination is frowned upon, it doesn't usually surface openly, which limits the problems it causes. Perhaps your situation is parallel.)

56 calls for great carefulness due to the uncertainties of the position.

I'd say, due to the undercurrent of risk, maybe check on specific situations as they arise via the Yi or take proactive action if things start to seem very amiss.

I'd also keep working on the friends part. Few things help to shield one from harm better than social ties.

50.2 is a positive line. It talks about envy on the part of others due to a certain spiritual abundance you enjoy, but they can't harm you. Good fortune.

If you want to include Hex 56 in the picture, I think it's the backdrop to your present situation: you're a newcomer on unfamiliar territory.

It seems as if jeff and Dobro have 2 different opinions as to what hex 50 is referring to. Am I on target when I think Jeffs' answer means that we are having only social troubles? cause we really seem like outcasts here, but on the other hand Dobros' answer is rather positive.
I guess it must boil down to the sociability factor alone?

Here's what Karcher says about 50.2: "You have something real cooking inside you, a spiritual transformation. Those around you now are afflicted with negative meotions. Stay with the transformation. Don't fear. It is substantial and secure. The Way is open. Proceed on your own."

See, not much to worry about. In the nicest possible way, I'd challenge Jeff's interpretation that the meaning of 50.2 requires 'great carefulness due to the uncertainties of the situation'. I don't think that meaning can be drawn from 50.2 at all. Your situation isn't uncertain at all - you're sitting pretty. Use it.

Thanks Dobro and Jeff both for replying.
Dobro, I really want to think positive about this situation as you've interpreted it as such, but I get to doubting cause the situation right now seems rather grim(my husband is thouroughly depressed)so i waited till today and asked the same Q: "What will be the outcome if we decide to stay here in our new town"? and received hex 3 Difficulty at the beginning lines 2 and 3. Wow, how appropo!!!! Then hex 5 no lines Waiting for nourishment. I take that maybe to mean, waiting for something to happen in the neighborhood concerning inter-action (to form bonds)? If so, I hope that happens because my husband is getting very unhappy and that makes me unhappy as well.

Dobro,

A little feedback for you on your interpretation of 50.2. Although I have a little trouble letting go of the idea it probably applies to envy of more things than just a spiritual transformation, I got that line a few times while I was going through my own transformation about a year ago... when the men in grey were coming to me in my dreams, and I transformed from atheist to believer in a creator and a spiritual realm and finally got in touch with my self.

And considering some recent discussions here and my feelings about them... or lack thereof, this interpretation explains a lot.

Thanks.

Love,

Val

Hi Candida...

Good to see you again. I've missed you.

You ARE an outsider there, but won't be after awhile. Maybe it will get better when people get to know you. I sure hope so.

Love,

Val

Well, Candida - I'd say that yes the troubles are only social - that is they stem from others, not from you...

Dobro -
"In the nicest possible way, I'd challenge Jeff's interpretation that the meaning of 50.2 requires 'great carefulness due to the uncertainties of the situation'. I don't think that meaning can be drawn from 50.2 at all."

Okay, you're on... 10 paces... turn... fire!

Anyhow, what I was getting at was what one might call the "jealousy factor" mentioned in the line. Yes the others can't harm you right now, but circumstances change and if the others still resent you later on, they might be able to.

A concrete example: say you have a couple who are devoted to each other, but there are some single guys who are jealous and would like to go out with the woman (or it could be girls who want to go out with the guy, whatever). The jealous parties can't interfere while the couple is getting along, but if the couple hits rocky times, they might start to play spoiler and hasten the breakup. I've seen the line apply in cases like that.

I suppose in terms of purely spiritual transformation you are safe - that can't really be taken away. But then again, look what's happened to many spiritual figures (e.g. Joan of Arc).

So, that's where I was coming from on this...

[dobro p]

Yup. Jeff wins. lol

 

[candida]

Ha Ha chuckle chukle, I liked the duel part, you guys are so funny.
Well. after all the clarification now I do understand much better. We have friends who live 30 mi from here and they are a little bit jealous of the house we got; they've been so bold as to drop a few hints. Consequently they never visit! That makes me sad because we moved here at their request. You know the old spiel, "If you'd just move here everything would be better, more work,assistance,etc." they do have 4 gentlemens clubs in this town alone! WVa's slogan is WVa, wild wet and wonderful, I guess they really mean it lol
VAL, so good to chat with you again. Thank you for the sweet thoughts. you sure did have a rough time of it a year ago from what I remember, I am curious if you had a spiritual conversion and what significance is there in the grey men you talked about? This sound
quite interesting.

Candida,

Yup things were getting pretty scarey there in VA, but I followed the Yi's advice, and now...

I'm back in LA... in a great job... working with a great team... in a great field... at a great studio... and I have a great home... near my family and old friends who I spend a lot of great time with... so...

I'm content.

And I'm looking forward to you soon being content in your new home as well. Are you anywhere near the Shenandoah Valley?

Love,

Val

Val.
I am so pleased with the way life is treating you
now and it is with joy I'm glad that you are with your family again.
My sister called tonight and she is coming down tomorrow with my mother and niece to take me back for the week-end, so I am real thrilled; as my mom and dad are elderly and sick.
Much love to you Val and many joyful things to come, Candida
PPS The Shennandoah Valley is so beautiful but we are quite a few mi. from there. How many, am not sure. We are in the middle of the state.
