online stalker

[sugarfree]

For some time now I had a feeling that someone was stalking me online. I now have proof of it. Someone has created a user account using my real name and included an embarrasing profile, including a link to where I work. I'm beside myself.

Why was that account created? 12 unchanging.

The person feels that he (I believe that it's a man) wants to get things moving, to start something.

What does the person hope to achieve by doing this? 4 to 33.

There were many moving lines here. I'm not sure how to interpret it given the circumstances. I think it may reflect the fact that the person did this without too much thought.

How does the person who created this account feel about me? 31.3.4.6 to 20

Three moving lines. Should I interpret each line or take note of the hexagrams as a whole? My instinct is to do the latter. I've felt for some time now that this is a case of an interested male making inappropriate moves toward me online. This answer seems to bear that out.

What should I do about this? 28.5 to 32

A withered poplar puts forth flowers.
An older woman takes a husband.
No blame. No praise.

I think the Yi is telling me not to do anything. This is a situation that is simply "coming back to life". (I can't imagine that the Yi is telling me to marry the man)

Hi there,
this isn't a response to the reading, but more to what sounds like a quite alarming situation. You don't say if you know who this person is, but I hope you get some advice on how to deal with harassment, even speak to the police to register a complaint (I don't know what country you live in so no idea of the harassment laws etc). This kind of behaviour can be really scary (and annoying) but please do what you can to make sure you are okay.

I would agree with edge. I read the situation as someone who is indeed obsessed with you (31) and whose intentions are dishonorable if not dangerous (12-- "The inferior approaches"). The I Ching is a great tool, but shouldn't be used to make decisions about personal safety or legal issues. Get some help from an expert, and take care.

btw you can also make a complaint to the company who hosts the profile he/she has created and get them to remove it. Good luck!

I think the person is trying to humiliate me. I do have an idea about who it is and I have already complained to the website.

I also asked,

What is the most important thing for me to know about the fact that this has happened?

15.3 to 2

A superior man of modesty and merit
Carries things to conclusion.
Good fortune.

That's not so bad, at least. I think it's telling me though not to worry too much about this, that the conclusion will be favorable.

The commentary is interesting:

This is the center of the hexagram, where its secret is disclosed. A
distinguished name is readily earned by great achievements. If a man allows
himself to be dazzled by fame, he will soon be criticized, and difficulties will
arise. If, on the contrary, he remains modest despite his merit, he makes
himself beloved and wins the support necessary for carrying his work
through to the end.
