I could post this in "Shared Readings" but I am posting it here as I am looking more for feedback and experiences with events in which someone intuits or suspects that Yi is attempting to direct their attention away from the question to something more urgent in their life that needs examining.
When I first started consulting the I Ching, a fellow student once told me how she had asked a question and Yi gave her an answer which she KNEW was really an answer to another question she could have asked. (She had asked a question unrelated to her relationship with her sister and received an answer that felt like advise in her relationship with her sister.
Today I have had a similar experience, except that I do not have the CERTAINTY of KNOWING that my friend had.
Before casting the question I thought, "I should not ask this. I already know how I am going to proceed." But I asked anyway about whether or not to continue working with someone who has been my guide doing inner work. I have been intending to resume working with her once I am in a better financial situation.
I received 62.3.6 > 35. One might think, "NO, don't continue this work!" I am thinking it is more likely a warning to get out of an agreement that I made yesterday and by law can reverse within 72 hours AND/OR changing my travel for work plans OR BOTH.
