I am into self development discovering myself more and more. The more I get close to myself the more I allow myself to be authentic and true, the better my environment gets, the more I respect myself, the easier my life gets, and the more pleasant it gets and natural. I am learning to let my heart speak.
Is that what the IC is reiterating me through the Hexs? 61.1 >59?

waiting to read your precious comments :)

Maybe it's saying you need to slow down and trust the process in order for it to fully come into being. That way you'll establish the time and space for your heart to speak to you.

Hi Lindorita,

I'm still very new to the I Ching so my answer is mostly based on my intuition. here goes;

Lises comment on 61.1
To be true means to be who you are in the place where you are. Then one hears and sees the smallest signs, nothing will escape one's attention, and one will know how to read them. Because you are one with them.

I think you are on the right path, stay authentic, because the more 'real' you are, the more true you are to your inner self, the more you will attract positive influences, the right people at the right time. Such a state of mind will allow you to grow more and more into your full potential. I think the message the Yi is giving you is focus on living in the now.

Be. Here. Now.

Hope I said something helpful!

61.1 > 59

Whenever I get 61.1 > 59, I know that something is coming that will present a challenge in my life, Lindorita. What's coming will bring me anxiety and perhaps ill-will, depending on what it is. I take this line as a fore-warning. It would be interesting to know what other people think of it ...

Hi Lindorita,

I think that the relating hexagram Hex59 describes your observations about the natural release of energies that take place as you listen and trust yourself. You're becoming less rigid, and previous restricted energy is now flowing.

Hex61 is Inner Truth. With line 1, you're just entering into it through the first line (perhaps from the boundaries of the previous hexagram 60?). Line 1 although quite positive - you're opening up to Inner Truth, and your environment, as you say is responding beautifully - it does warn about relying on yourself. Trust yourself - your heart - in any given situation, and the flow of 59 will be optimum.

Best wishes!

61.1 - 59 prepare yourself/be prepared....don't do anything else. pretty clear reading.

hi ginnie and thanks for your comment.
well, honestly I cannot say this is an easy period, and indeed it represents a challenge. I am causing the change, out of refusal to continue living as I was doing before, and transfromation is not at all an easy and relaxed phase. it's a deep challenge, which has to be faced in a different way from I was used to, it has to be faced through confidence in myself, in my heart and in the fact that I do not have to adapt or idealize anybody or anything..anymore. just out of one reason, I don't want anymore. :)

one question to you, what do you exactly intend by ill-will?

thank you and have a great day!

I think line 61.1 is saying it's best to do that work alone, that deep work on oneself.

I mean by 'ill-will' all the forms of anger. The picture of hexagram 59 is like a block of ice slowly being melted by the continuous action of a gentle breeze. And so, in order to rid ourselves of anger and the other negative emotions, it is said that gentleness is the key.

I think 61.1 advises against too much projection into the future in terms of planning secret outcomes. Wilhelm does say 'if there are secret designs it is disquieting'. The kind of thing I mean for example is where someone may be happy in their job but be thinking to themselves "hmm if I do A the boss will notice and eventually I will get to position B" and then they kind of work on that private scheme.. Infact I think I saw a similar scenario for 61.1 here somewhere.

61.1 says don't do that kind of thing with regards to this question because nothing can be guaranteed except the present you find yourself in. If however you are fully present where you are right now, without too much of an eye on future scenarios that may arise from your current circumstance then things seem to be fine and well.

I agree there does also seem to be an emphasis on staying quite well centred within yourself as others have said. It will be harder to keep that centre if you get caught up in too much forward planning. Your question was very much an inner orientated one so I imagine the warning in 61.1 for you may be not to gaze too much at your current state and be thinking of where it will take you eventually and so on...just be where you are fully. I think theres always a bit of an element of temptation to in 61.1 to go chasing after a certain outcome, even subconsciously...and here perhaps even with more spiritually orientated goals

In short it could simply be saying not to overthink this or have fixed goals of the ideal state. Inner life, spiritual/psychic development like everything is cyclical. Theres times when all is hunky dory and one feels one is doing well and then theres times of the 'dark night of the soul', or even rather boring or empty feeling phases and in the end it isn't the attainment of one state over another we are after...those feeling states are just the scenery...maybe 61.1 here is saying you are doing ok but keep looking at the scenery where you are rather than anticipate your next stop on your journey

That's how it relates to me, Ginnie. Hex 61.1 'Precaution, significant.
Possessing a burden not a swallow'. Comments: 'Initial nine: precaution significant.
Purpose not yet transformed indeed'.

Manifests in the form of anxiety, a challenge or a person 'with a different intention',
as per my book.
