Hello!
I just sent out some writing to an agent...the subject could be potentially sensitive in some ways, in some quarters...i could write my 'story' without getting too involved in the surrounding possibility of controversy, but the stickler that I am, chose to send the parts that directly addresses the issue...the book ultimately will not be about the controversy...given that background...i asked the yi, its opinion...on having made the first step of sending a sample of writing, and initiating the process of publishing.
it said, 61.1.5
Line 1
'Guided, good fortune.
There is another, no peace.'
Line 5
'There is truth and confidence as a bond no mistake.'
Right away...it struck me as to what an intriguing mix this is. Inner truth and youthful folly...
But also so very perfect, the combination...for the book in so many ways is about the conflict i experienced in a 'learning' situation and my inner truth, and the struggle and confusion involved in embodying it.
I would love to hear your take on the hexagram toss by itself...as it seems *such* a fascinating combination...
And additional insight into what it might actually be saying to 'me' would be also, be so very welcome, as I do tend to get carried away in the abstraction of it all.
Is the yi saying that it is indeed a good idea?
who or what is this 'another' and why 'no peace'...ouch...much of it is a meditation on peace...so....?
part of my dilemma (this might be the 'another') is that I do wonder if my life ought to be on the quiet side of things...domestic, you know, rather than public...if it were upto me, I might 'prefer' domestic but with 'love'...but that choice involves an absent other...so it is not really upto me. the book is in some way, an act of service...but even then, is it possible to do that in a personal way with the mentor?
am i choosing to become a sacrificial lamb here by choosing the publishing route? these are some of the background questions.
thank you good people of the yi.
shalom.
