She wont marry me will she? 64>64 via 1

[onlineclarity]

When I asked the question, "she wont marry me, will she", I got 64 to 64 via 1 (no changing lines). Is that a definitely "no, she won't marry me", or "no, she wont not marry me?".

Try the question again without the assumption.

It can be as simple as, "What about [X] marrying me?"

At first I thought, "Why not simply ask her?"

But then I am wondering if 64 uc isn't telling you "yes" or "no", but rather telling you "how".

Consider Hilary's commentary, "When you are not yet across, you may be hesitating on the verge of a transition, trying to tell whether it's safe to commit yourself. It's time to use the skills of a wise fox"

was it spam ? presumably not because it's still here.


but some thought it was spam because you never returned to answer.

the only way to get a definite answer is to ask her not the I Ching

Imagine the tragic scenario of you never asking her because you thought the i ching said she wouldn't say yes.

(Will she marry me?)
64 > 64

I also use the idea that an unchanging hexagram changes into itself, but why do you say "via 1"? "Before Completion" suggests that she will not at this moment but will in the future if you play your cards right. So be careful in the risky features of courtship not to give false impressions but express loyalty. The little fox fails by attempting to cross unseasonally. It wouldn't get it tail wet if it waited until the ice (relationship) were solid. Perhaps this will suggest something.

Truthful words are not beautiful;
Beautiful words are not truthful.
Good words are not persuasive;
Persuasive words are not good.
He who knows has no wide learning;
He who has wide learning does not know.
The sage does not hoard.
Having bestowed all he has on others, he has yet more;
Having given all he has to others, he is richer still.
The way of heaven benefits and does not harm;
The way of the sage is bountiful and does not contend.

The words are from chapter 81 of D.C. Lau's translation of the Tao Te Ching. I believe that the I Ching and Tao Te Ching are in correspondence and often read them together.
