How approach this problem of trust regarding D?
HEX 47.1.2>17
CONFINED/BURDENED/STUCK/CONSTRICTIONS/OPPRESSION 1.2.> FOLLOWING
1.Don't be influenced by doubt, or hope, or hopelessness, but keep an open mind. The way out will show itself at the right time.
2.Basically telling me I must still ---still!? ----wait! If I don't, I risk losing what I have so far preserved. Also it would be good to give service of some kind.
It is an obstruction in my attitude that prevents progress.
NOW, I can't help but think a) I Ching does not understand the intensity of my distress/tension
and b) I Ching does not realise HOW LONG I HAVE ALREADY BEEN 'PATIENT'! I mean since the beginning of JANUARY!
I wonder about the Confucian influence and whether that is over-emphasized. I find the guidance sometimes so frustrating it actually seems to cause ill health.....Surely enough is enough, however much I want to 'grow'?
Any other interpretations/comments welcome here.
My situation does seem to have developed in what I felt was a positive way, yet key questions remain that interfere with my feeling free enough to go forward............
Thanks for any.
I seem glued to my life-long fantasy of absolutely needing someone to stick with me through all the therapy work, and not give up until we are done. ... The security of having just one person, one therapist to work with me through all this feels vital, yet it is the one thing that is ever denied me. ... LOVE is such a rare, rare thing yet I cannot live without it ... Every idea I have comes to a sense of futility.
Beautiful answer. Seems like your answer is like a winged dove in the form of a therapist. Yi is saying have trust and let yourself be helped.
you obviously haven't read the back story. The therapist is an NHS therapist in the UK. She is not currently available to NM . That is the point. She won't/can't work with NM right now. This isn't just a therapist that you pay....it is part of our National Health System. Anyway you need to read the back story..the lack of trust is there because therapist won't see NM.
I mean if you read the numerous previous threads by NM you will learn that the therapist is an NHS therapist and is currently not available to her. Trust me, I do know. She has already confirmed this is the case a number of times. Wisewoman is another name NM used ...some back story http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/friends/showthread.php?18335-Will-D-return-to-me
Thank you.
I will read it. As a further comment before reading it, my thought was that the therapist may be using a strategy of non participation as a part of the therapeutic process or that there may be a benefit to NM by having this break in the process.
Interestingly, Wilhelm's description of line 3 supports this thought:
A prince- in ancient China princes wore scarlet knee bands- is in search of able helpers. But there are still obstructions to be overcome. Therefore it is important to meet these obstructions in the visible realm by offerings and prayer. To set forth without being prepared would be disastrous though not morally wrong. Here a disagreeable situation must be overcome by patience of spirit.

My desperate search has been to have that human element integrated. But it never happens.
This seems spot on.
I am working with this winged dove as best as I can but at the same time negotiating chasm after chasm in relation to D. because of this 'human' trust thing. But personality is split from lack of 'human' nurture and I feel this basic input as a child never happened on human level, and the only way I survived at all was from a very lonely spiritual path and battle that made me feel separate and alienated from humankind. My desperate search has been to have that human element integrated. But it never happens. Always, in significant relationships I end up in a situation of betrayal and have to pull myself up by my own boot straps, never being able to feel comfortable with human intimacy as I can never trust, yet desperately needing. Transpersonal experiences have been all that has kept me ----------ALIVE, and only those it seems. Let down after let down, and no moderation or equality.
You yourself are a human being, even when you are feeling isolated. It matters a lot how we talk to ourselves, our self-talk. We mustn't always be thinking about and verbalizing to ourselves what we don't have.
