Wondering....

[oniro]

First of all, I am newcomer to Clarity´s, and I salute everybody here who is in search of needed answers and knowledge in the quest for happiness in a warm, family,caring atmosphere that makes easy to open your soul.

I have been related to the I Ching for many years with sporadic consultations when the situation was well worth of a deep exloration beyond my level of understanding.

Now I am at a pivotal point in my life where my income,physical, emotional, existencial wellbeing requires making desitions and a clear view of what is going on and where is it taking me to.

In this sense I ask the I Ching 'what do I need to know now'?. Just an open question to get a general landscape. I got exagram 59 with a 9 above as changing line. My first reading is that I have to tame my instincts, and get out to meet the stream of life to start a project, maybe related to an audience or a public. This might involve to meet an inherent, atavic risk according the reference exagrame # 29, to be overcome by 'practice,train,(getting) accustom to danger'. In the Karchner version it goes forward to warn "Hold your heart fast. Do not let it fall apart".

The resulting advise as I preceive the exagrams involve a range of possibilities going from leaving my seclusion in the Finnish forests to reincert into the public life, to accomplish some kind of expertise in punctual health aspects,either to sink enterely into a risk I don´t know what face it has, or make a dramatic change in my life set up. I wonder also if this reach out is something even possible through the Internet.

At this point I still have such a bouquet of interpretations that I had to ask again to the I Ching:'What are them the actions I have to perform in my daily life to apply the knowledge you taught me with Ex. 59, 9 on top, ref.Ex 29' Now it started to become even more criptic because I got as answer Ex. 54, 9 on 2nd, with Ref Exg. 51.

And here it comes this Ex 54 pointing to one of the central themes nurturing my expectations in terms the Ex 54 surprisingly urges to 'Act through the woman and the yin' at a stage where a life companion has been at the core of my circumstances. Maybe I am too obvious at identifying mecaniccally this Yin energy with the woman I am longing to meet and cherish.

Could some one iluminate me with his/her precious time and good will to bring me more insight into this crucial matter ?

Thank you so much !!

I think it is suggesting movement.Time to step out from your spiritual retreat,and to Leave your emotional baggage behind.I think the secound hexigram 29 is the situation you will move away from.This could be emotions that you have now healed,or a temptation of some sort!
I sometimes see 54 as a secoundary position,or unequal partnership.Line two is remaining faithful in seclusion.I see the one eyed man at an advantage because most people in society are blind;not litraly, but they are not open to the truth.I think it could mean retain your spiritual self when among others.51 could mean have no fear your sincerity and calmness sets you apart from others.

Dear Oniro,
I am a newcomer as well to Clarity, and although I have been reading the Yi for many years (20), I must say that I feel like a novice when i read some of the discussions here...However, the voice of your sincerity is so touching, I feel inclined to offer my take on your reading...
It would seem to me that, moreso than a time suggesting completely new ventures, this would be a time for you to get yourself, and everything dear to you, into a safe position, out of harm's way. It might be a time of crisis or perceived dangers through which you must venture, but do so protectively and with an eye on your immediate well-being.
You may be in a position of temporary disadvantage, and (seeing with only one eye), but your heart is loyal, sincere and persevering.. when you have assured your safety and wellbeing,in a temporary seclusion, you will be able to take the steps you need. the times of shock and 'renovation' will subside and there will be joy and relief..with it, the opportunity for a new beginning.
Just my thoughts and humble opinion...I wish you all the very best.
