With your double negatives here - can't and can't - I'm not sure what you're saying?It can’t be saying you can’t live a good life I guess
This is what I'm focusing on with my response; there's a lot to be gleaned here ....... another way of asking "how can I live a good life?" Hexagram 39 UC
This makes me a little apprehensive because I am just about to move far away from my home country to a place where I have no friends, and it may be my life is isolated.The Southwest is considered to be the direction for supportive friends while the Northeast is the direction for isolation and solitary efforts.
It seems to be saying increased consciousness but in conjunction with others, not alone, joining my consciousness with others.So it's about making choices based on clarity and including/thinking of others in those decisions - the Sun's fire co-joins or adheres with it's fuel to keep burning; in the same way that people join together to create a good life.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'increased consciousness'. As I said, my take on the Yi's response is that the 'good life':It seems to be saying increased consciousness but in conjunction with others, not alone, joining my consciousness with others.
I don't ask this because I expect I expect to die soon, but it's simply another way of asking "how can I live a good life?", if we think that the man who has lived a good life is prepared for a good death.
I admit, I found that the "What should I do in my life to prepare for a good death?" question has a certain Ra's al Ghul (Batman Begins) / Kwai Chang Caine (Kung Fu) 'quality' to it. And that I had to 'interpret' the question - or decided for myself what the question is - before I could interpret the Yi's response.I don't think the question is clear enough to get any kind of meaningful answer
So, it wasn't meaningful enough for you to try to interpret it, but you then did interpret it ....I meant the question isn't meaningful enough to me for me to try to interpret an answer, the question makes no sense to me. Although in the end I did have an interpretation.
Yep, agreed. And I assume that one's person natural and meaningful question may not always appear so to someone else. And if I don't know what someone's question means or is about, I can always ask - or just not interpret it - but maybe I shouldn't waste everyone's time here by re-stating the obvious.I believe people have to ask what comes to them naturally, if they ask someone else's idea of a decent question it won't feel the same.

Come to think of it perhaps that's what the answer is saying,

Agreeing with Freedda here, only the querent can know if an answer is meaningful. Bologna notes she is asking her question just as she is preparing to move.
I don't think the question is clear enough to get any kind of meaningful answer
Also it may be worth noting the question was “How do I PREPARE for a good death,” not “How do I guarantee one?” I suggest that while we cannot control whether we die in our sleep or get hit with a meteor, we can take steps to ensure peace of mind which certainly is a key hallmark of a "good death".
Bologna notes she is asking her question just as she is preparing to move. Moving certainly can feel like a death and so it seems this hexagram with its reference to the Northeast and isolation may have more personal significance for her than is first apparent to the rest of us. As advice for how to handle this transition 39uc maybe counseling that it need not be a hard lonely path if one "embodies the qualities of mountain and stream,
I claim no moral high ground, nor do I have an ever-growing collection of peas under my mattress. But okay then, we'll agree not to provide feedback on each other's post (except if it's positive?)... to lecture me or assume the moral high ground. I don't want your feedback on my posts ....
It is interesting that you included this video (I read that it's a real rotten tomato !)

Going back to your original query here, it seems you are making a big assumption, that may or may not be true:.... another way of asking "how can I live a good life?", if we think that the man who has lived a good life is prepared for a good death.
Hello ! What appeals to me are the 39 for the question of your former love....! Do you know the obstacle that separated you from that person? I wonder if these 39 all fit that...Also as some context, in recent readings I have 39 a few times. In July I asked what is my unconscious trying to communicate to me through some dreams of an old love (it was these dreams that drove me in the first place to the I Ching) and got 39 as the future hexagram; in August, in connection to the same thing I asked how can I get closer to the lady of my soul, and got 39.1. And now 39 unchanging.
this passage; from the original, uncut version of the 13th Warrior - Antonio Banderas, as Ahmad ibn Fadlan, as he gets ready to face his death at the hands of evil people, whom wardrobe and makeup have made to look especially hideous:
"I didn't get paid nearly enough to be saying this stupid crap in this loser movie!"
And in real life Omar Sharif (Melchisidek) said:
"After my small role in The 13th Warrior, I said to myself, 'Let us stop this nonsense' .... Bad pictures are very humiliating, I was really sick. It is terrifying to have to do the dialogue from bad scripts, to face a director who does not know what he is doing, in a film so bad that it is not even worth exploring."
