perchta: thoughtful (creepy cute)

I have a job interview coming up on monday, and being the sensible person I am, I consulted the I Ching on how to behave during the interview.  I got hexagram 13, which changes to 37 with the fourth line the changing line.

In my fav interpretation book, The I Ching Workbook by R.L. Wing,  13 is Community, and the changing line reads "Your obsession with the attainment of your personal goals will ultimately cut you off from others. The more you pursue your dream, the farther you drift from your community. In time, your loneliness will bring you to your senses. Good fortune."

What the frick does that mean!??!? My desire to have a decent job, that will pay the rent and keep my kids in food, clothing, & utilities will be my downfall?!?! oh, and then throw in 'good fortune' to make up for that?!

Right. Tossing the fav book, lol.

According to Sam Reifler's I Ching book, the changing line is "you are about let yourself go and fully enter into an unselfish, rewarding society of men. You still retain some feelings of competitiveness and wariness, but it has begun to dawn on you that these feelings are truly absurd."

Much better.
