In other words, thunder has always been stored up and contained as the inner trigram, right through until its emergence in Hexagram 32, where it suggests action moved by the inner ‘woodgrain’ of character. Then comes 34, where we have the huge challenge of letting thunder-action embody heaven-power without delusions of invincibility.
What happened, to make it possible for thunder finally to emerge and be expressed? The transition from the Upper to Lower Canon ‘happened’ – through Nourishment and Great Overstepping, Repeating Chasms and Clarity – a whole re-forging of self and ways of knowing, sculpting you into something fit to be inhabited and moved by spirits, in Hexagram 31.
(Naturally, as thunder moves outside, so its mirror trigram, the mountain, moves inside: instead of encountering it as limits and containment in the outer world, the Lower Canon will mostly experience the mountain as inner solidity. It actually only moves ‘out’ again to help create an inner lake in 41.)
"In it's static form, CONTINUING suggests the need to develop continuity and unity within the Self. The lower trigram, SUN, with it's steady penetrating efforts, gives direction to CHEN, movement, above. This direction determines all behaviour and should be consistent and principled. Undisciplined movement at this time will lead you away from your goals. Listen to your inner voice. look to enduring values."
About the pairing of 31 and 32: falling in love, and being married. Being inspired to become a musician, and spending hours a day practising, every day, for the rest of your life. Easy enough to moralise about 32, but it wouldn't happen - or wouldn't mean anything - without the 31.
Sometimes I think 32uc can refer to "timing" issues. For example, I once complained to Yi that a pair of pants I'd just bought looked too big on me, and got 32uc. Then (months later) I gained a bit of weight, and shrunk another pair of pants I wore a lot, and ended up being glad I had the pair I thought was too big.
Another time, I was very upset about a complete lack of official communication about an important event. Yi gave me 32uc - I wasn't finding out right now, but at the appointed time - after a fixed duration of time - I would get the information I needed. The official source was, naturally, operating according to their own desired timing, not mine.
Sadly, he is not with me anymore. But he was chock full of love, so I'm sure he is purring his acknowledgement from Kitty Heaven.please relay my thanks to Cat 1 !
I've never known an unorbited cat.
So it does look to me like your 32uc was a clear indicator cat 1 kept to his usual habits.
Oh dear! What are outerwear pants called in the UK? In the US outer pants are called "pants" or "slacks" (if they're jeans, or overalls, etc., we use those specific words, but pants or slacks are the general terms).Was slightly thrown at first as in UK 'pants' means underwear
"Underwear" is the catch-all term for undergarments. "Underpants" (I'm pretty sure) can refer to mens' or ladies' bottom undergarments, but "panties" is only used for ladies'. Men's top undergarments are usually called "undershirts" or "t-shirts," although "t-shirt" also refers to the outergarments worn by both men and women.one day someone needs to tell me what Americans call their underwear ? knickers ?
Yes. 5, also. I would have reacted the same to any of those three here: "Oh, okay. LATER."I've had 53uc in that kind of situation too.
Is there...some other hexagram that means habits, or habitual behavior? Have the notion there is but am not coming up with it (could be dreaming)...hex 29 might mean forming habits, via repetition and practice, but is that really the same - maybe I am thinking of 29 -
1. I recall many years ago asking if I and a partner would stay together. I got 32 uc and we were together for another 11 years...which certainly from the vantage point of when I asked the question was 'continuing' or 'lasting' or whatever we call 32.
I've recently been given a choice of participating in one of two poetry readings next year. I would share the headline slot with another poet at either one. In the one that comes earlier in the year I will be with a more well-known poet than I will be at the latter one. So I asked the I Ching which should I read at, and got 32uc for the second one, and 63.2->5 for the first.
Although the second reading is almost 8 months away, I'm interpreting 32uc is saying that reading will have more of an enduring effect (on me?) than the first one. Or given the track of things, it's where I'm going to end up reading, which almost becomes self-fulfilling, doesn't it, because that's where I'm leaning to choose?
Love it!When I get it I know the matter in question is going to go on going on......whether I like it or not.
