Should I take Camille's Mystery School next year? Yi's answer, 32.4 to 46.

Hi Lovely People,
I just asked this question to the I ching. I LOVE this teacher Camille who is offering a 9 month course next year starting February. My hesitations are first the expense: $5,555. And second the time commitment. It is a Mystery School with a daily practice that I think would take around an hour per day. I know I would love the material: the nine faces of the feminine. But, I really want to write my book next year. It has been a long time coming and I finally have the skeleton of it. I was planning on writing a chapter a month with the goal of finishing by December 2022. So I only want to take the class if it is the very best use of time and resources. The reading seemed favorable except the line: On the field, no game. In the Karcher book it says to restrain yourself. So on the one hand, 32 makes it seem like a yes, that it would build something beautiful and lasting but then line 4 seems to say not to do it. 46 seems very promising! Ascending the sacred mountain is really what I want the book to be about, so I am just confused by the yes and the no. Any insights?
Thank you so much!

It’s tricky because you sound so excited, you like the teacher (which is great) and yet… this line somewhat suggests this may just not be the right time? Right thing? You won’t end up doing it or she won’t end up offering it… it won’t quite give you what you think it will? I’m not sure how to explain that in the context of it seeming so positive to you; perhaps someone else will have a different view that’s helpful. I would read this as saying you won’t find what you’re seeking in this school, that perhaps there are other opportunities this just isn’t the one. 32 > 46 looks to me more like moving on from something, changing course.

32.4?

You will not find what you are seeking there.
(whatever the reason may be.)

Thank you redoleander and moss elk. I do feel fine about letting it go as amazing as it would be. It is just time to focus on my own writing. I very much appreciate your input!

Hello,

32.4 means there is no benefit in subscribing. Maybe the course won't be useful, or simply, it won't be held.
