I quit a very stressful job 10 months ago. I currently have no source of income, I'm currently living on savings. I do not want to work right now, I'd rather work on improving my life by means of spiritual enlightenment. If it's better that I seek a source of income than that's what I'll do. I will be fine financially for about a year if I continue to not bring in income but I don't want to become penniless while searching for a deeper meaning of life. In my heart, I feel I wasn't born to earn a living at being miserable. I simply hated the pressure my job placed on me. I know I need to do something different but I haven't been inspired. I'd like to take this time to get intimate with myself so I asked "is it safe for me to not concern myself with matters concerning money right now?" My results 44 changing to 64. So, can someone please tell me if the oracle is saying Yes, you're on the right track or No, the sooner you figure this out the better. :) Thanks

So you got 44.3.5>64 ?

It looks like an uneasy difficult situation but one you can manage if you appreciate at the start things can get hard. 44 can show impulses or wishes that don't fit in easily to your life framework. You left work but you haven't reached another destination yet (hex 64) but 44.3 shows someone going on, pursuing this goal, despite wasting way with the labour of it...so if we take the 'wasting away' metaphorically it seems you are prepared already for some hardship in this path. 44.5 is a line that has been much discussed here and people's views vary greatly on it. My own view is that something can 'fall into your lap' seemingly as a gift from above but it isn't always quite the appropriate thing for you. it can spoil easily like an over ripe fruit. No idea what it might refer to here, I think it may be a future offer of some kind that appears as a rescue perhaps ?

That old saying "trust Allah but tie your camel" (or something like that) comes to mind. Because you want to prioritise spiritual goals now doesn't mean material issues won't or can't impinge on this. I like the reading as I feel it shows you making quite an unusual move that you believe in.....but it will mean some hardship I think, that cannot be avoided. Stepping out of certain frameworks as you have can place you inb difficulty and that is shown in 44.3...but that's not wrong, it's just how it is when one goes out on a limb so to speak. I wonder here if 44.5 shows something helpful that rescues your finanaces.

It may well do, I'm not wholly fixed on my first view of 44.5. I've known 44.5 be a job offer that isn't really appropriate but does serve a purpose.

Overall I don't think the reading guarantees safety, and you did ask 'is it safe' but neither does it say 'don't do this', it just shows how it is. It's great you have savings to last a year. I feel you know your way forward, and yes it's a bit dangerous, but that's okay if you are wary. I mean wary as in being frugal now...and also go with the times. If something drops in your lap like the fruit in 44.5 use it well yet still be slightly wary of it. Perhaps there will be a windfall or some job offer that sees you through low points.

I think trojan just about covered the main text.

Lately I've been getting into Chinese translation, and particularly that of the Jiaoshi Yilin, a text which covers every single combination of two hexagrams, and provides a short poem: http://ctext.org/jiaoshi-yilin. Sadly this isn't available in English, so I'll provide my very novice translation of the poem for that particular combination... 44 to 64:

Overcome your body and purify yourself,
And you'll happen upon the king while out hunting.
Give your deep jade,
Bow and receive great good fortune.

This really matches the base text and trojan's interpretation. The first line refers to your spiritual advancement (might be alluding to meditation and ego loss) and implies that this has a direct connection with influencing fate. I think the kind of fate is, again, a better job or someone granting you a better situation. It'll come out of nowhere, but if you take advantage of the situation as it arises and offer your highest degree of kindness, you'll find better fortune. Of course, the spiritual advancement stuff comes first.

Thanks, I appreciate your input. You are right, it's difficult for me to trust in something outside of myself. I would love a gift "seemingly from above" because then I would have validation from above. Deep down inside I know I'm learning a lesson in faith, trusting in something higher than myself. Not having a set pay date or any source of income for that fact is very difficult for me. I have gratitude that I have enough for now but even that (the savings) is because I have always been frugal..I always had a just in case something happen mind set. When I quit my job it was because I felt I was selling my soul for a paycheck. Thanks again, I would have loved the reading to promise me safety. I'm sure the universe knows what it is doing.
