I've been agonizing over this for the last few days. I've encountered many setbacks while seeking teacher certification, mostly of my own making :duh:, and now I'm not sure I can continue to bumble forward in this direction. I've been asking several questions to the Yi about whether or not to continue seeking certification.
First, I asked what would happen if I gave up on teaching for now: 26.3.5>61
"Perseverance furthers." Maybe I should continue forward. The first changing line says there is danger to be aware of if I drive forward. The commentary on the next line suggests that I restrain "the impetuous drive forward" I think. Not sure how to take this. I'm not really sure how to take Hexagram 61 in this context.
Then I asked: What if I continue to try certifying for the time being? 55.6>30
At first, this sounded good, but my changing line sounds like the outcome will be negative. Maybe the relating figure reflects my desire to share my light with the world? 30 as outcome doesn't seem reasonable with the line 6 telling me things will go badly.
I asked what would happen if I deferred certification for a better time and got 60.5.6>41
Waiting will go well, I think.
I don't know why, but then I asked: What if I give up on teaching completely? 12.3>33
Sounds like if I abandon teaching I may encounter obstacles (or is this a reference to current obstacles?) and embarrassment (is that embarrassment if I continue trying to teach or if I quit?).
I appreciate any feedback.
