Should I stop posting on here for a while?" and Yi's answer, 14.1.3.6 to 40.........I asked this question because I am new to this forum, but have been responding to posts as practice - to test my ability to understand and interpret YI - to try and offer a different perspective even if it is not popular, as we all have different values, beliefs and life experiences that will influence our responses. I do not think there are any wrong or stupid answers...and I am here to respect everyone else that has something to offer or share in that regard...........As long as I keep my cool and stay humble - already it feels as though some people are less accepting to 'new' person or 'outsider' perspectives. I'm a social worker in training so I study people, behaviour and topics such as "working inclusively".......... Anyhow my short interpretation of Yi' s response 'Great possession to Release" is thatI should continue posting, because I am doing a good and right thing by sharing what I have to the best of my ability- and that it is helpful for me to continue releasing information as part of my ongoing journey.Thank you.Any feedback welcomed or none at all.Doesn't bother me

At first glance HEX 14 is saying to "Own your power" A part of owning your power is recognizing you are human.

I have done probably 20 comments for 20 different people since probably September 18th. One person was mad at me even though my intention is not to judge it happens. At the same time I have come up with some pretty harsh interpretions and I apologize ahead of time. So there are some responses that I get back from the person who asks and I cannot look at it yet.

Just so that you are not being too hard on yourself .. it is learning process for everyone. I have had a lot practice doing interpretations and I know that there are people on this site who have 40 years of experience. I have only 4 years.. So what do I know.

The best advice I can give you is open yourself up to feedback. Take the perfection out of the equation. I encourage the senior members that I do communicate with … please hold me accountable, challenge me, humble me.

The best thing you can do to learn your way through the basic of the I Ching is to practice, practice, practice. I would go to bars and ask random strangers if I could do a reading. Sometimes I had an opportunity to if they took they advice and I can tell you I found that most of the time they did not so what observed the train wreck they were trying to avoid. It taught me to trust my intuition and heighten the super psychic part of me... because I never was one to believe I had that. I have found that when I do what I do I am certain in what I say.

I have come to the conclusion along the journey (actually many conflict and changing conclusions) the I Ching is so simple when you throw a couple coins but when you peek behind the curtain there is not Oz but something that connects us all.

Wow. Thanks Sylvia1Ching - I think I totally get what you're saying and it is very helpful to me. I hereby apologize in advance for my harsh interpretations, misunderstandings and miscommunications...

14.1 Avoid connecting with what is harmful.
14.3 Only contribute when you feel you can afford to.
14.6 Do this and you will feel your participation here is rewarded.

Together I see these lines as advising you to be discerning as to which threads you respond to and also to be mindful of whether your time or attention is required elsewhere. If you do this I think you will find you can continue to post here without expecting too much or giving too much and are able to 40. Release the computer when it’s time to do other things. Online clarity can be addictive!

In my much limited experience i would be happy to work with you personally if you think it would support you.

There is no need to apologize.

I am here for you.

I am not going to address you cast because I do not think it is effective. If you would like me to but I think if you focus on questions that are not about beating you down but how to raise yourself up .. that would be better.

For example

What do I need to focus on that would allow me to become more confident in my interpretations? How do I proceed?

This kind of question will address all that is in your way. It is not going answer with something like practice practice practice.... I suspect it will something like modesty, limitations, preponderance of the small, waiting ( for nourishment)
