It is fine to mention this matter to people. This oracle resolves to 60.5. Both an 'auspicious' prognostication and an indication that going forward is praiseworthy.

60.5, yes. The meaning you are reading for this line is from the Song dynasty commentarial tradition. If you look at the Chinese of the original Zhouyi you will see that there is nothing about setting an example to others by placing limitation on oneself. On the contrary, it is about earning esteem by setting forth.
As for the words of dead men that you keep going on about, have you considered that your entire view of the I Ching is based on the words of dead men? And not only that, dead men who in certain cases are demonstrably wrong in their interpretations. In what way does placing limitation upon oneself and thereby holding back correlate with the actual oracle text indicating that esteem comes by going forth?
Look at the Chinese: 往
This character occurs 58 times in the Yi. It means 'to go'. This means going forward. It doesn't mean keeping one's mouth closed and setting guidelines for others. Esteem comes from 'going'. When 'going' is used in the Yi it means doing the thing asked about. You can disagree if you like, but try backing it up with some solid argument.
Lynn you obviously need to re-read.
You say that 60.5 has no place in the reading, yet you have just been making a case for how it --
Presumably you have a good reason why this is not tripping yourself up.
First, it's not about self-esteem, it's about esteem in the eyes of others.
Second, controlling impulses is not the meaning of going forward. If you are so sure, then concentrate on explaining 'going forward' in a way that sounds like 'going forward'.
You simply don't grasp this line.
Do you have any idea why? Or any reason to fear doing so?
As I've already mentioned it to a few people.
