Will I receive support for my project?

[bookishjen]

Hello,

I've been working on a long term project and have been having trouble finding support for it, so much so that I am wondering if I should see the writing on the wall and pursue something else.

I asked the Iching "what do you want me to know about getting (support) for (my project)?"

I pulled 8.2.5.>7

seeing that 8 says ask again, I did (same exact question): 8, unchanging.

I took this to mean ask yet again, I got 64.3.5.6>28

I'm not great with multiple lines --

3 seems to say "you will need to proceed carefully;"
5 seems to say "keep at it and you will have good luck"
6 seems to say "don't count your chickens before they hatch" (maybe?)

I'm especially not great with what all three lines might mean together.

I'm also not sure if I should have recast at all, and if the first reading should "control."

If anyone has thoughts on any of this, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

Hi,

I am sorry, my thinking hat is not on right now, I will have to come back later... but I wanted to give you a little of what I see here, since no one has come along yet to help. First 8 says to ask twice, I don't think you need to ask more than that. When I receive any hexagram more than once I try to pay attention to the message I receive from it.

8 is auspicious and mentions collaborating with someone, advises to be persistent. Your lines say something to the effect of this also, getting
help from someone with experience, being open to their ideas but
keeping yours also. I think line 2- said something about seeking someone to help that you can really connect with. Line 5- was something about being persistent but moderate in your seeking help or support, from someone that actually wants to help. 7- I think would speaking about a group of helpers or a company. Because you got 8 again, I would think the answer is, seek help and you will find it. Hope that helps a little. Like I said I don't have my thinking hat on right now.

This is very helpful, blue_angel, even without your thinking hat.

It sounds like it might be advising me to persevere, and so I will. Thank you for your help with this.
