who I am? hexagram 47.1.5>54

[diidii]

they are in a period of extreme confusion in all areas of life. I don't know what I want, I'm undecided, confused and I feel very bad about it. for the first time I don't recognize myself. I asked two questions the first and: "what's wrong with me?" hexagram 1.6 "arrogant dragon will have to repent" means that i am an arrogant person who does not keep in touch with reality? it's correct? the second question was "who am I?" hexagram 47.1.5> 54 does anyone have any ideas on the lines of 47 and 54 as a background? thank you

It doesn't have to mean arrogant in a bad way it can just be someone who doesn't recognise their own limitations, perhaps you could go easier on yourself ot be more aware when things become too much for you.

Who are you ? Well right now you have settled down in a gloomy perspective and that won't do you much good.(47.1) Perhaps you feel you should somehow be more important than you are and you don't want to adapt to your life situation but you don't have much choice (54) in general this seems to be advice to make the best of things, be kinder to yourself and just do what it takes to get by (47.5). Try not to dramatize misery (47.1) it's a waste of life. You are thrown back on your own resources yes but that will make you stronger later on (47) Don't mope and mourn just do what the next thing to do is without telling yourself you have to excel at this or that. That's too much demand on yourself, just settle in to what life offers you now, that takes more strength than you may know.

Someone who is Confined to Second Place - Line 1 - Stop fighting against 'what is' for now and find some inner peace. Line 5 - With that inner peace you will find joy.
So it pretty much says (to me) Acceptance is the best thing to do now because your life is what it is at the moment....no point wishing it was different because that's what's creating your confusion and indecisiveness.

I think of 1.6 as indicating going too far. There's a need to stabilize, to get a reality check before making too great a commitment. It reminds me of the time I brought an armful of books home from the library. They were so heavy I thought I was going to have to leave them in the street but I really wanted to read them so I persevered. As it turned out I never got around to looking at them until they were almost overdue and then when I did crack one open I found the author was actually not all that interesting anyway. So definitely a warning not to over commit. Perhaps in response to your question you are being advised that you cannot know yourself by reading one final answer, you must try things and don't take on too much.

Hi Diidii

I'll answer the questions in the opposite order to that in which you asked them.

the second question was "who am I?" hexagram 47.1.5> 54 does anyone have any ideas on the lines of 47 and 54 as a background? thank you

Who am I? What a great question for a seeker. It's a great position to hold when you know thyself. Right now you identify yourself as someone who has little or no authority or control over her own life. You see yourself as taking a subordinate position and so quite often you are unhappy with your lot especially around situations that revolve around who holds the power. (54)

Right now you see yourself as exhausted due to the difficulties and hardships you have and are still encountering. (47) Your oppression comes from your inner discord as much as from outer circumstances and you have fallen into a cycle that you believe will not be possible to change (47.1). You have come to rely on things that do not help you and are not geared to break from this cycle. You are unable to see the opportunities that come your way to step into being a new you (47.3)

..... I don't know what I want, I'm undecided, confused and I feel very bad about it. for the first time I don't recognize myself. I asked two questions the first and: "what's wrong with me?" hexagram 1.6

It's not clear if 1.6 is the whole of your cast or whether you had other changing lines.
Assuming it's just 1.6 <> 43

Then this kind of says that there is nothing wrong with you as such all that is happening is that you are experiencing a set of conditions in your life that have lead to a crisis for you. Nothing is wrong with you as such, it is that you are swimming in a sea where things are being eliminated and you are moving towards a moment of decision (43). There is a call being made to you to understand the ways in which you are behaving that are contributing towards your downfall.

These have become who you are now and what you identify with now and means you have lost sight of your true self - you are no longer able to recognise yourself! What has caused this within you is the 1.6 path you have followed. Your ambitions and behaviours have been unrealistic and you have not been true to yourself. This has cause you to plummet - a bit like Icarus flying too close to the sun and the wax holding his feathered wings together melting. There is nothing holding you up right now. All the people, situations and behaviours that used to support you have melted away.

How to remedy this?

Hex1 - Thus the superior person strengthens himself without pause.
Hex 47 - Thus the superior person realizes his destiny by following his will.

In some way you need to accept your situation for what it is. Be brave, ride out these bad times and wrap yourself up in sheaths of hope. How you get through this is ultimately down to you and your will. Surrender to all the negativity in and around you or engage with the true creativity within you and keep on pedalling that bike until you break the cycle and are up and over the top of the hill.

This is a cast calling out for you recognise where you have gone astray and to establish again who you really are.

....... or it may be nothing like this at all for you.

Good Luck

I can't believe you have practically written all my emotions, my behaviors towards life but how did you do it? and just like that I closed myself in a box of dreams that could not be realized even wanting it with my whole being, I knew I had to go back to reality but it was so beautiful to dream! but after a while you realize that in the end living in a world of lies and dreams hurts so I tried to wake up in every way and when this happened (recently) I went down to earth and my butt got hurt and now I feel in crisis and full of negativity, I can't feel more pleasure for life, I don't have emotions. I am apathetic, empty I also asked: "how to accept my life as it is and be happy" hexagram 49.5> 55 which talks about being strong and changing like a tiger's skin and then I asked how to implement this revolution hexagram 35.3> 56 the cast seem to me pretty positive I hope for the best . an immense hug

Further thoughts on 1.6. I once heard this line means "Never travel faster than your angels can fly" - like the vision exceeds the practicalities of the moment, like soldiers marching too far ahead of the supply train.
