Wow thanks for taking the time to interpret 31.5. I liked your take and how you weaved in the theme about the birds because it helped me visualize the answer. What am I resisting in my life? Being free and single. What resonated were the words "previously separated whole". It's been 2 yrs since I've been divorced after 12 years of marriage and I need to I need to find that piece of me back together. I need to learn how to be a whole person unattached and not have be committed to anyone in a relationship. The birds fly low but they're still free. Your words "predator" and "cage" triggered fear of being in a bad relationship and I don't want to be caught. Just yet. The words "same...completes...genuine" are words I'd like to aspire to when I complete myself and become "whole" again.What am I resisting in my life? Hexagram 31.5>62 Maybe: You are resisting putting your pieces back together as part of a previously separated whole? Resisting the influence that shows in the back of the neck, that unconscious impulse that is no seen and needs to be handled with care? that needs you to fly low so as not to be caught by the hunter. You cannot see the impulse, but you can feel it. Is the predator imitating your chirping to get you and lock you into a cage? or is this one bird of your same species that completes you and is genuine? You cannot see what is influencing in the fifth, but is something like a truth, a knowledge, generally a mental content that is completely true and puts your pieces back together.
I'm looking inwardly to what I resist in others that I resist in myself.
I find this statement... confusing.
Could you explain? (is it part of some program or ideology?)
If your question had just been,
'What am I resisting?'
Then the reading makes sense that you are resisting being Influenced Inside by others. But I am not sure exactly what you meant.
In your post you have attributed the quote/statement to Carmina but it was thisisbliss who said this
Respect Trojina, A respectful bow. Thank you very much.Lovely answer from Carmina.
My thought, along similar lines, is that you may want to resist being moved or influenced because you are in touch with your own central purpose and right now need to stay in alignment with that rather than having to adapt or change for others.
I think in line 5 there is quite a deep sense of self, a sense of sureness even if you do not feel at all sure on the surface. After a breakup it can take time to 'reassemble' your authentic self since you may have spent so long twisting yourself out of shape in order to negotiate other's demands and expectations of you. Pulling away from someone takes a huge amount of inner re-organisation as the more central sense of self returns.
31 is all about the push and pull of influence between people. I think by line 5 you are quite steady, not about to be pushed or pulled anywhere. So I don't think Yi is saying you are resisting anything in the negative sense of the word, but that you are becoming centred and that will mean you naturally, not even deliberately, resist too much influence from others as you become more influenced by your own deep sense of direction.
