Make your road clear and visible
21 - make clear decisions to keep it clean
22 - show it, what it really is
Biting Through forms a pair with Hexagram 22, Beauty:
'Biting Through means eating; Beauty is without colour.'
There's a time for reaching the truth, and a time for expressing it. Biting through, you take the situation into yourself, 'chew it over' and digest it; Beauty will bring out it's pure plain essence.
There is an inner storm that has been raging for some time around the object of your inquiry. The lower trigram, CHEN, movement, is struggling upward, sparking brilliance in the upper trigram LI. This dramatic coming together of the two strong elemental forces creates a tremendous cacaphony and, eventually, release, just as thunder and lightning bring the release of static tensions before a storm. Without changing lines, a radical REFORM is necessary in your life. It will cause spectacular reaction but will release the tensions that hold you back from your aims.
"Intention without reservation is needed to overcome obstacles in your path."
He may be a bit like Trojan's student - not deliberately deceitful, just a bit clueless and easily distracted, not really committed, deceiving himself more than anyone about what he was really willing to do.
Making a clean break seems like the advice?
@Moss Elk;, how did this situation end up?
I was hired on to houses and pet sit, while some good friends went away for a weekend at the beach. I'm not sure why they couldn't take their doggy with them, but that's okay. I was charged with the tasks for all the doggy care and with feeding their fish.I'm asking myself if I cast 21uc now about something what I would think....? I suppose the first thought to come would be that this is something that needs to be dealt with, bitten into, the teeth do need to meet to chew.
But I recall receiving 21uc a number of times when asking about what to do about about a very slippery kind of liason with someone I needed to be a sponsor of a kind. In the respective roles of sponsor/student we needed to arrange times for when she could view me and so on to complete the student log, requirements etc etc She would readily agree to do this but was impossible to pin down to make any appointment time. Others had also found this and I think perhaps she didn't want to do it but wasn't aware of not wanting to do it enough to be able to say simply that she couldn't ! To say she couldn't do it would afterall have been perfectly acceptable
The 21uc puzzled me a bit at the time as I couldn't exactly bite through anything . Now as I write it seems clearer of course. I needed to bite through my own lack of clarity about her intentions. She would not have been deliberately deceiving me or others but those appointments she agreed to make at some future date were just never going to happen .. Eventually both I and others found another person for the role who would actually, clearly and precisely and definately, make appointments with us ! Much easier way to proceed !
So in that experience perhaps 21uc was showing me there was a lack of clarity, a deception of a kind I needed to bite through/see through in order to get anywhere.
In the archives I came accross this http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/friends/showthread.php?13798-shamanism-and-21 a good thread linking that process of biting through with shamanism where 21 uc is also mentioned.
In terms of the pair Lise wrote
just that small sentence on 21 makes that choice about the sponsor clear (in hindsight)
Hilary writes of this pair in her book
Wing says of 21 unchanging ;
Hmm there was no 'spectacular reaction' in my example of 21uc more of a process of seeing that what someone was saying to me they didn't actually mean. I think 21 uc may at times ask you to ask yourself "what is really here, is there something that deceives me about the nature of this.... !?"
Does anyone have differing experiences of 21uc, more dramatic perhaps like Wing describes ? If you receive 21 uc to a query what would be your first idea on how to take it as advice or description of your circumstances ?
Think of Crime & Punishment.I've had a hard time understanding Hex21 UC.
