Divine Guidance

In my season of solitude and separation - I have received consistent divine guidance from the Oracle here and now, an I Ching web site. The most recent guidance reinforces that I remain exactly where I need to be for right now.

Some details are not revealed but I trust they will be at the right time.

1 changing to 53

1. Sunrise

Line 1:
A submerged dragon is of no use.

There is potential, but the time is not ripe. The idea is not yet ready to be carried out.
(The dragon is submerged in it's pond, hibernating. It won't do anything. It is like the sun that hasn't come up yet.)

Line 2:
Seeing a dragon in the field.

It is beneficial to see a senior person.

There is potential (an idea or inspiration) that is becoming manifest, coming to realization. Some form of guidance will be beneficial, like the help of an advisor or mentor, or information from a book.
(The dragon in the field is like the sun that has just come up.)

Line 4:
Something stirs in the depths.
Without fault.

There is potential, but it's unreachable for now. There is no blame.
(When fish swim around in deep water, all you may see is something stirring there.)

Hexagram is changing to:

53. Gradual Development

Gradual development.
The woman marries.
Good fortune.
It is beneficial to persist.

A gradual development is taking place. Things go well. It's good to persevere.
(The woman marrying refers to the gradual development that led to the actual marriage of a woman in the times of the Yijing.)

And so my journey continues. My therapist and recovery partners continue to guide me in this season of self realization. I am learning and growing in ways I did not imagine possible.

By definition, it makes sense to spend more time dwelling within (seeking divine guidance) and less time blogging to reach out. This is more than compensated by the fellowship bonding that happens within the recovery meetings that I frequent each week.

God continues to do for me what I cannot do for myself.
