Hi people,
I want to describe one of my life situation in order to show how IC is an extraordinary divination tool.
English is not my first language so i apologize if I have errors in my writing.
Two days ago I was aiming to travel in the near town here in Macedonia. I should travel with some old friend with whom I was in reunion after 2 years of non-spoking. We should travel at 17h. The whole day I had some weird feeling about the whole traveling and I decide to consult the I ching. I asked, "Should I travel with my friend"?
The hexagram was 23 with changing lines 3 and 4 which resulted with hex 56.
In the first place I didn't understand the meaning of the hexagrams and ask again: "Is it there some danger on the road"? I received hex 4.1.2 and 27. Because I'm new to I ching I didn't understand that clearly is it the answer "yes" or "No" so I ask: "Should I go on this trip"? I received hex 32 unchanging. I decided to go. I was a little bit afraid cause the freaky feeling which I had the whole day. I said to my friend to drive carefully. Everything was all right until suddenly my friend started with strong objections and we started a verbal fight. He was angry to his girlfriend whole day and now he started with sarcastic objections on my account. We ended with separation after the trip was finished. I didn't wanted to have anything with him anymore (cause I saw some old insulting patterns in his behavior) and when I opened IC and looked into the hexagrams which I receive before the traveling I understand what IC was trying to tell me. Especially the first hexagram which I received - the hex 23 is showing the whole situation of this period of my life. When I'm looking to the lines I'm seeing how the situation begin in the line 1, than line 2 and now I received changing lines 3 and 4 which are the present situation. In line 5 and 6 I can see the future of the whole situation if I go with the flow of the Universe and the ever changing life.
So, the name of the hex 23 is "Splitting apart". That is the separation from my friend because I saw in him some kind of secret enemy.
The comment of the Line 1 is:
"Inferior people are on the rise and stealthily begin their destructive burrowing from below in order to undermine the place where the superior man rests. Those followers of the ruler who remains loyal are destroyed by slander and intrigue. The situation bodes disaster, yet there is nothing to do but wait."
(from here: http://theabysmal.wordpress.com/2006/10/25/i-ching-hexagram-23/)
I'm born in small town and now live and had some kind of success (I'm singer songwriter) in the capital city of Macedonia. Yesterday when I was in my born town I noticed that there're big rumors about me which are everything else but true. So the situation of line 1 began in the near past. This rumors are related with my "friend" with whom I was on this trip.
The comment of the Line 2 is:
"The power of the inferior people is growing. The danger draws close to one’s person; already there are clear indications, and rest is disturbed. Moreover, in this dangerous situation one is as yet without help or friendly advances from above or below. Extreme caution is necessary in this isolation. One must adjust to the time and promptly void the danger. Stubborn perseverance in maintaining one’s standpoint would lead to downfall."
The rumors were more and more widespread. This "friend" of mine was enjoying in this rumors and has helped to their growing exact in the time when I decide to reunion my friendship with him one month ago. I was thinking that even though in the past we have all kinds of disagreements that he is now changed, but I was wrong.
The line 3 is changing line:
Six in the third place means;
He splits with them. No blame.
An individual finds himself in an evil environment to which he is committed by external ties. But he has an inner relationship with a superior man, and through this he attains the stability to free himself from the way of the inferior people around him. This brings him into opposition to them of course, but that is not wrong.
Here's the splitting. I found myself in evil environment and I decided to split away from this "friend". But I never doubt that this "friend" is my enemy and the whole situation helped me to reveal that. I started this new reunion with open heart and I didn't know on what IC is referring in this hexagram. After the situation, now I'm able to look into the whole period of my life.
The Line 4 is changing line also.
Six in the fourth place means:
The bed is split up to the skin.
Misfortune.
Here the disaster affects not only the resting place but even the occupant. No warning or other comment is added. Misfortune has reached its peak: it can no longer be warded off.
This is the situation after the splitting, i.e. these days (today, tomorrow etc). Every cause has its effect. So the effect of the whole situation is needing time.
The remaining lines are:
Six in the fifth place means:
A shoal of fishes. Favor comes through the court ladies.
Everything acts to further.
here, in immediate proximity to the strong, light-giving principle at the top, the nature of the dark force undergoes a change. It no longer opposes the strong principle by means of intrigues but submits to its guidance. indeed, as the head of the other weak lines, it leads all of these to the strong line, just as a princess leads her maids-in-waiting like a shoal of fishes to her husband and thus gains his favor. Inasmuch as the lower element thus voluntarily places itself under the higher, it attains happiness and the higher also receives its due. Therefore all goes well.
Nine at the top means:
There is a large fruit still uneaten.
The superior man receives a carriage.
The house of the inferior man is split apart.
Here the splitting apart reaches its end. When misfortune has spent itself, better times return. The seed of the good remains, and it is just when the fruit falls to the ground that good sprouts anew from its seed. The superior man again attains influence and effectiveness. He is supported by public opinion as if in a carriage. But the inferior man’s wickedness is visited upon himself. His house is split apart. A law of nature is at work here. Evil is not destructive to the good alone but inevitably destroys itself s well. For evil, which lives solely by negation, cannot continue to exist on its own strength alone. The inferior man himself fares best when held under control by a superior man.
This is I hope the end of the whole situation. Misfortune leads to fortune. If I act according to the instructions of IC and the Universe. The Tao.
This is my first viewing of the whole situation, so if you have your opinion on this and the other hexagrams which I receive, than I would be glad to here from you.
