about a year ago i quit facebook for a while, then after about half a year got back in to confirm a friend’s birthday and just stayed there, rather inactive though, pretty much only using the chat to keep in touch with few people. break from social media gave me clarity and i managed to get rid of the unhealthy habit - randomly landing on the blue page and browsing through people’s lives for absolutely no reason… i noticed, that over time a lot of people also changed their relationship with the site, adjusted their privacy settings and generally seemed to have lost interest in constantly broadcasting their experience. even my mom, who initially felt scared to lose fb messenger as an easy way to communicate and share some things with me (never used it on the phone though), has finally distanced herself and spends much less time there.
i haven’t been posting for years, but as i come across certain videos, exciting articles or interesting information, i sometimes feel like sharing them with the world and obviously fb would most likely appear like the best place for it. yet any time this inclination arises i also start feeling dread at the very thought of participating in this world wide phenomenon of status updates…
so, what’s stopping me from posting on facebook? 64 > 63
i don’t remember getting a reading with all changing lines, and find this before and after completion pairing especially interesting. at the same time, it’s difficult for me to understand this answer.
i might dislike the interface and algorithms the site uses, how messy it is, how it poses threat to some of my less tech-savvy friends, some of whom maybe would have got catfished if i wasn’t asked to step in, but at the same time, when i returned to it i got contacted by a friend i haven’t heard from in almost a decade. we used to be best mates as 7-16 year olds and grew apart through high school, uni and grownup life. she never had fb, but has messenger on her phone, so initially, not knowing fb can make such connections, i thought i was being scammed for a phone number in a very weird and well thought out plot. eventually we did reconnect and met again, even though we live now in different countries, and are slowly rediscovering this friendship that apparently never ceased.
although i know the site is not inherently evil, i still don’t feel comfortable exhibiting some of my interests in front of all my fb contacts. i’m there for my „friends”, but having done some ecomm analytics as a job, i’m also aware of the importance of this medium in growing one’s business and advertising. maybe the reading points to some personal project i gotta take on, make a blog of some sort or create a bigger website and then start posting on its behalf, from another account?
64 - i’m not completely ready within myself yet, to step into the social media without it affecting me, i’m afraid that i’m like that little fox, who barely learned how to keep its mind and heart still, while the urge to post something might create a deep crack of doubt, getting fox’s tail wet again and thus all my efforts of consolidating some understanding or at least maintaining some state of mind (water into ice) become in vain?
63 - at the same time, even if i eventually reached out to people from the place of „inner order”, this expression of myself being already externalised and meeting the outside world would inevitably meet with confusion and doubt, as that’s how external world operates?
it seems the message here is, to meet the outside world from a place of internal harmony and stay aware of possibly cacophonic results, rather than haphazardly jump into it at every whim of the excited heart?
would be curious, if anyone survived this reading so far, to to know what are your overall thoughts on this and the hexagram pair?
privacy aside, how come i feel more comfortable posting on this forum? 12.2 > 6
i read line 2 as supporting surroundings that provide stability and safe place even for the inferior elements in ones psyche, in the context of resolving one’s inner conflicts (hex 6).
thank you for this space
This, I think, is change pattern 1 - other than change pattern 2, unchanged hexagrams, when the Yi tells you: just look, this is your situation.
Tip. If you don't write in the change lines it means people have to go get some paper and a pen to figure them out and people don't have time to do that so won't answer. So you needed to write this cast as 64.1.2.3.4.5.6>63.
So what's stopping you ? Well to me it looks like you're done with it as if you could wear the Tshirt saying "Been there, done that, got the tshirt".
[...] you are both unready and ready in this cast, I think this is a highly creative combination, very fluid. You can make and then remake or withdraw then remake...There isn't a sense of anything irrevocable, it feels like drawing in the sand, making it new, starting again, completing, making it new
As all lines changes, it might point at your creativity. If you ask: what stops me? Then obviously 64 is the little fox, a certain shyness, and some fear to "cross the great water". But there seems to be an attraction nevertheless. When looking at 63, there is a question about: do I really need that?
So it will be best find a creative solution. Ask yourself again: what would you like to share on facebook? And what not? Are there other good ways to share Information? All line changing is a call for creativity, think big!
I don't know much about this
There's good fortune for the small person in line 2 but not for the greater person and we all have both and we need both. So the greater person is self determining, plans, sees far ahead in accord with their purpose, the smaller does what it is given to do. Strange answer to your question, not sure about it.
That makes 12.2 make more sense. You have more distance here because of feeling a small person, easy to vanish, things like that you don't have on Facebook.
Synchronistically after writing this I put the radio on to hear people talking bout how personal space vanishes when we use smartphones and devices to access media, videos etc. The idea of personal space was being discussed and some learned people were saying all animals and birds have a very clear sense of personal space so if you walk up to a zebra at a certain point it will back off in the same way that a person would. We all have this space around us where we don't let people come except in intimacy, so do all mammals and birds somehow will keep the exact same space apart when sitting on a wire for example.
In a theatre the sense of self is very clear, we know we are watching, observing but with phones, laptops etc they become almost part of our thinking, part of our inner space. So if you share on facebook maybe you diminish that sense of personal space in a way that you don't here.

i'm afraid google has way more of my data...
