Hello, new member and first time poster I hope this is not taken the wrong way by anyone. It is not intended to be offensive in any way. I was considering requesting help, via this forum, with a very important but squirrelly casting when suddenly I was flooded with doubts. "I have never used this forum before. Will the counsel be sound or just distracting? Will I place more value in it than in that of my own soul?" So I decided to do a casting asking about that instead. I am more flummoxed by that result than the original casting in question. While the initial hex seems positive, the resulting hex does not. I've always appreciated the "frame within the frame" motif in art, so why not in real life? Here goes: "What about using the online clarity forum for help with this interpretation?" 35:5 - 12 Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. I guess this is a test of some sort but I did not devise it. It just kind of fell into my lap. P.S. I haven't figured out how to separate paragraphs. Whatever I do it all comes out in one big blurb. So please forgive the unintentional "stream of consciousness" flow of the post. (Any help with that is also welcome.)

Indeed didn't Hilary use the example of 35>12 ? Maybe not but of course if one goes along with 35.5 doing it anyway and not minding how can that possibly 'lead to' 12, Standstill ? Makes no sense does it.

Well I apologize if I saddened you. I was just looking for another perspective. Thanks
Which of my words leads you to think that you make me sad? I have only told of my own experiences, which have nothing to do with you at all. So there is no need to be sorry!
How ironic that I first talk about the pitfalls of written communication -- and then just such a misunderstanding happens immediately
Maybe concepts should be clarified:
Querent --> the one who asks a question to the forum regarding their result
Reader --> the one who tries to interpret the I-Ching result of others.
Dear native speakers of the forum, please let me know if I have said anything misleading, English is only my second language.

I would also like to say that I always find it sad when people come here in the middle of a life crisis and in a troubled state and hope for help and are even more desperate afterwards. That rarely happens, but it happens.

That's mostly because they weren't prepared to hear something they didn't want to hear. Sometimes it was also because the reader in question was insensitive.
I hope to see that whole way of going on in SR smashed to bits but I'm not sure it ever can be. But we can aim to end the consumer/provider dynamic I think by not pandering to it.
This was never meant to be a place to get free readings but a place to share where everyone is a reader. That can happen just by people giving their own take on the reading to start with.

I see what you're saying but remember there aren't really any 'readers' here so no one is actually obliged to be sensitive, knowledgeable or otherwise but it is of course desirable if they are.
I think it's amazing how the 'work' in this place is shared out so that no one ever goes unanswered. Perhaps occasionally but not often. So what is happening is there is a sort of unspoken rota system.
