Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others
On January 17, 2011 at 8:42 PM
what are my real needs regarding meeting the right person?
and received a response of:
27 Nourishing
The Statement of the first hexagram
Nourishing. Pure fortune.
Watch the jaws
and what one seeks to fill one's mouth.
The changing lines
The second line:
With jerking jaws, you disobey
the right ways. Find nourishment
in the nearby hills
instead of journeying far away.
The third line:
Jaws shake in opposition. Persistence
will bring misfortune. For ten years,
all will be useless and no place
will bring gain.
26 Great Restraint
The Statement of the second hexagram
Gain by being upright.
Not eating at home brings fortune.
Advance across the great river.
The Image of the first hexagram
Thunder below the mountain: nourishing.
The noble one is
careful in speech
and temperate
while eating and drinking.
The Image of the second hexagram
Heaven in the center of a
mountain: great restraint.
The noble one
frequently studies
the words and prophesies
of the past, and thereby
nourishes virtue.
