Had 36UN as cast for the day. I engaged into a conversation on facebook with a political candidate by raising a few points he couldn't respond to, and that revealed the weakness and danger of his project. He hid my light by banning me.

Years ago I had asked what was my position with a person I had previously been supposed to work with but which I had fallen out with. I found out she had banned me on fb.

So 36UN has meant a Fb ban for me.

On a more personal note that the examples above:
I dreamt about a person I felt attracted to.
We had met once for bike riding and a picnic and it was natural and friendly. I felt the attraction was mutual, and that there was actually a good potential, but nothing romantic happened. I also got the feeling that they were very shy and wouldn't act on their feelings on a first 'date'. Anyway, I didn't act on mine either.
A few days later I had a dream about them. It was one of those dreams when you wake up and feel very connected to the person in matter. I asked 'Why did I dream about them?' and got 36 unchanging, which I thought it was very clear and interpreted as "see you have a lot going on inside, related to this person, and its all in the darkness and you are not going to do anything about it so it gives you dreams."

Yes, also his being so shy is very 36 and shyness here looks like fear of hurt or needing to hide himself which makes having a relationship very difficult. But this is sad if you got along so well, sad for you too. Might you get in touch again and see if the 36 can swivel around to 35 ?

I received a 36 UC today when i asked if I would see a certain someone again. I took that as a unanimous no. We will remain hidden from one another. Or one of us would remain out of sight.

I had some insight into this hexagram yesterday when I asked how my interview (today) would be. I got 36uc which sent me into a tailspin of despair. I referred to a couple of interpretations that equated this hexagram with ‘tyranny’ and negativity, and immediately decided that my interviewers would be out to destroy me and that there was no point even attending. Every negative thought in my psyche came spilling out. What’s the point? Why bother? Everyone’s against me. Etc etc. Then after realising what a ridiculous set of beliefs I was fostering, I realised that the negativity in 36uc was my own shadow - it wasn’t coming from outside of me at all.

anyway, I attended the interview this morning and the panel was lovely, so friendly and kind. The shadow was entirely mine..,

Wow
It’s getting all the more difficult to interpret..
No, not at all - the reading was about my negative attitude, not the interview itself! That’s how I understood it. That’s how I increasingly read the yi anyway, that mostly the lesson is about my attitude or false beliefs

I understand. But for someone like me, wanting a clear answer about whether going this road or that one, how likely it is that I will achieve this or that, then it's getting difficult. I would have thought I had to keep my light hidden during the interview or that I wouldn't have to expect much. Instead you got through.

So maybe I've missed some opportunities because of misinterpreted casts, who knows.
At the same time, there have been times I got what I believed were negative answers and followed my wish anyway, and ended up like Wile E Coyote with a big stone on my head :lol:

Well, if I had gone in with a bad attitude I probably would not have been successful… so attitude and outcome are not mutually exclusive! 😃

I noticed a few years ago that my early ideas of 36 were incomplete, though I thought they were fairly comprehensive. But at some point I noticed that 36 was time when I could make significant impact of my surrounding, which was contrary to my earlier ideas. I think Knot's ideas are involved in some way here. It's not always just hiding light within the earth, it can sometimes also be a metamorphoses, a cocoon where transformation occurs, where the Freudian self transforms into the Jungian self, where ones hidden self transforms into ones complete self, a kind of merging with the earth rather than merely isolation hidden within the earth. The paradox here is that to gain this greater self one must die to their notion of self, so while initially there is, as Wilhelm calls it, wounding of the light - which feels very real and can be painful, particularly emotionally - it is the death of a form and a rebirth of a freer form, which is the regenerative form, the form which can figuratively mate and propagate more forms, such as through creativity, influence and effect. It is the the process of being born again, but not as another individual self, but into the Spirit of selves itself. "I am that."

This is a really insightful and profound response
