why am i doing so badly? 41,2 > 27

[gracia]

Hi folks!!

i' m in a new period and lot of difficults are raising (nomoney, nolove) but actually, there ' re new opportunities that , getting the right attittude, can transform my life. actually, it isn't so bad my situation.... but i'm doing really bad! a kind of auto sabotage!!

why am i doing so badly? 41, 2 > 27

i read hex 41 in the negative way. i mean, if is saying to decrease insticts, i'm taking it that i'm doing that (following my lower self) and feeding an status quo (line 2) instead of feeding my higher self. so, i'm making no sacrifise to change to change my status as it's now, or something like this?


Lise's IC says about the line 2:
Harvest: determination. To set things right: pitfall. Not diminishing, increasing it.
Get rid of preconceptions, of all 'knowing how things are'. If one expects a miracle, the miracle might actually happen. Even better than expecting it is innocently making it happen oneself, free of any doubt. Believing it is summoning it.

....is this me "waiting or a miracle" instead of making the miracle happen??


thenk heagram 27 is talking about nourishment. it can be that this is missing?

Why am I doing so badly?
41.2 > 27

There are other satisfactions in life besides love and money -- honor, health, and achievement, for example, and compared to others, you may have them in abundance. If you have kept your word and not betrayed anyone, your are a person of honor. If you have protected your health, you are better off than many. If you have done things for others, you have been paid in gratitude. This is the money of heaven. I garden and give away my surplus vegetables, over 150 pounds of tomatoes this year. The gratitude I receive is so great that it sometimes embarrasses me, but that is my pay. So look at the big picture before deciding that you are doing badly.

Hatcher's translation of 41.2 suggests that gains already made should not be risked.

Worthwhile to be steadfast
To go boldly is ill-omened
Avoiding decrease increases one

Wilhelm's suggests that charity is your best policy at this time in your life.

To undertake something brings misfortune.
Without decreasing oneself,
One is able to bring increase to others.

You seem very lost here.

The answer is about how much you need to offer to get what you want. 41 says just 2 bowls is enough. 41.2 suggests you believe you have to make far bigger sacrifices than you actually do. That's all. I guess that's what lead Lise to her commentary...about miracles., You think you have to pour in huge amounts but you don't. As far as I know the word 'miracles' isn't there at all...it's just Lise's take on it so don't get hung up on the word.

There is a caution I think in 41.2 not to take on other's problems as you own. Keep things simple. You might just be over complicating what you believe your offering has to be. Less is More.

I'd ditch all that stuff about lower and higher selves too. I mean one is advised to reduce passions, over involvement and so on and this can be advice to be simply less involved, putting less in, feel less over it.

You sound like you have gotten hold of a misleading commentary such as carol Anthony's ? Look at the words of the I Ching first, the commentaries later.

Look at the bolded words.....they are intense, so Yi is saying just lessen the involvement with the ideas of 'really bad'. Everything should take far less effort and angst than you are actually currently throwing at it

I just have to add that the relating hexagram 27 could be asking you to consider ideas that you put in your head by the people you choose to surround yourself with, the media you choose to entertain yourself with, and quite literally how you eat.
Actual bodily nutrition is a huge factor in emotional health. I was suffering for sometime with depression and lack of energy, nothing seemed to help. Then I started taking multi vitamins and b-12 boosters.. and it really zapped me back to life.
