Moss Elk, it seems that they did try to understand the line, when they said:You could start by trying to comprehend the meaning of the line. In your post above you did not mention the lines meaning. (part of the line is about demonstrating your merit.)
Moss Elk, it seems that they did try to understand the line...
Agreed. I only meant to say that they provided some sort of response. Because I'm at work, I didn't really look closely, but it wasn't ringing any bells for me either. Best, D.You either have a very generous heart, or can see what I still cannot.
(because the two statements don't seem to have anything to do with the line, IMO)
Good afternoon. My question was to the IChing "How can I have a better relationship with YOU"
I have studied the IChing for over 30 years; my Mom taught me when I was in my teens. Still, Sometimes the answers are obvious and sometimes they are puzzles. One would think I’d have a stronger understanding by now.
This reply made me laugh because Line 5 could be saying "you can’t Handle the truth". Or more softly, my aspiration exceeds my comprehension. The theme of hexagram 56 invites me to go away, and hexagram 33 advises to maintain a distance. What? I’m being chastised? Ah IChing you’re a mean old daddy, but I like you.
Also baffled by the 'mean old daddy' .
... As in, the I Ching is being a mean ol' daddy with these responses ... or something like that.Sometimes the answers ... are puzzles ... and theme of hexagram 56 invites me to go away, and hexagram 33 advises to maintain a distance ... AND ... I’m being chastised?

2. The pheasant is a creature of air, hence symbolic of a concept or thought.
Admittedly There is some ambiguity in the various interpretations of this line so differing views were requested. Thank you for taking time to respond. 1. The arrow suggests a goal or target. 2. The pheasant is a creature of air, hence symbolic of a concept or thought. In the end of line 5, The arrow is lost and the pheasant is given away. 3. What’s left? As Moss Elk said, part of the line is about demonstrating my merit. The image shows I’ve lost Both goal and idea, no merit. Thus My aspiration exceeds my comprehension. Or, As Jack Nicholson would say ‘you can’t handle the truth’. Thank you David, I WAS quoting Joni Mitchell. I’m sure the IChing knew I meant no disrespect. Trojina I do ask the same question more than once...especially when it’s about my spiritual growth. It’s part of the journey, no? As diamonda said, the IChing isn’t a one night stand. Thank you my_key ...

How can I have a better relationship with YOU
56.5 > 33
The first thing that comes to mind when reading the answer, your first shot at the answer: this is it, look no further. Also, you can't have a relationship, just a one-night-stand ;-)
1. The arrow suggests a goal or target. 2. The pheasant is a creature of air, hence symbolic of a concept or thought. In the end of line 5, The arrow is lost and the pheasant is given away. 3. What’s left?
'And so in the end, praise and a mandate.'
