Hexagram 60 Sparks Creativity Risk of Stagnation Strained Relationships |
A man without limitations is as free as a bird in the sky. But, there are downsides to that. In a limitless sky, it’s easier to lose your way and make mistakes without consequences. There’s nothing to learn, solve, or fight against. Ease is good but, without limitation, one simply gets too comfortable.
Hexagram 60 from the I Ching illuminates the idea of welcoming limitations with open arms and finding ways to grow around them.
Guidance:
- Limitations spark creativity. When faced with a unique problem, only a unique solution can help. Not having enough options to choose from means you’ll need to make something out of what you already have.
- Despite how incredibly difficult journeys become because of limitations, there’s still an element of thrill in it. Growth without resistance isn’t very nourishing or fulfilling.
- Truly struggling to reach a position of honor and nobility invites respect.
Warnings:
- Sometimes, flying too high with small propellers can result in a fatal crash landing. Working around limitations might make it seem like you’re making progress but, in reality, advantaged competitors will still be ahead in the race.
- Too many strict rules and regulations might hinder your ability to grow. If an organization or project suffocates you creatively, it’s best to opt out rather than bury your shining potential under the dirt of monotony.
- Limitations in a romantic relationship can either strengthen or weaken the bond depending on the connection between both parties involved. In most cases, however, a relationship won’t thrive if there are too many obstacles in the way.
Hexagram 60 Message
There’s no doubting the fact that limitations are absolutely terrible and gut-wrenching on a journey that was supposed to go smoothly. However, the euphoria that comes with accomplishing goals and wonders despite there being limitations is unmatched. Frankly speaking – limitations make a journey much more exciting. There are more troubles, mysteries, and creative challenges to get around, adding that extra layer of thrill that just isn’t there in smooth and steady paths.
Humbleness and humility is also a byproduct of dealing with limitations in your path. Because you might need help and favors from others to work around certain hindrances, humility is an important tool in your arsenal to get willing people on board.
Hexagram 60 Message For Love & Relationships
A free bird will feel trapped in an enclosure no matter how large it is. Human beings are free species. When a new relationship restricts you with certain rules and boundaries, it’s easy to feel trapped and suffocated. If protectiveness in your relationship starts to transition into toxicity and controlling behavior, both parties must sit down and have a serious chat.
Certain boundaries in a relationship must undoubtedly be followed to ensure trust and fidelity. Imposing any other serious limitations on your partner, however, can turn a good relationship into captivity.
Messages From The Lines Of Hexagram 60
Line 1:
Loopholes work – without a doubt. But, they can only work for so long. If an obstacle is faced and you find a way to work around it, know that it is only a temporary fix. Serious expansion and progress will require you to clear the path no matter what.
If a bird is put into a cage, it can only fly within the four corners of the enclosure. However, if it wants to fly into the limitless sky, it needs to get out of the cage first.
Line 2:
One can limit everything but emotions – at least not for long. Not expressing enough is a mistake many make and then wonder why they feel suffocated by their own existence. In reality, the pressure of unsaid words and crammed feelings builds up inside of them…till it explodes.
Take the example of a bottle. A bottle can only be filled to the brim; after that, any extra liquid just spills out. Overfilling a bottle will cause it to explode and make a big mess. The same happens when you limit your emotional expressiveness. One day or the other, the unsaid words will ooze out, bringing big trouble your way.
Line 3:
A little bit of selfishness is mandatory if one desires to break through the limitations of society. The upsides are – you’ll feel freer than ever and able to confidently take a stand against outdated conventions. Unfortunately, however, you might also attract some unwelcoming eyes that are hostile towards new development and modernity. Therefore, be bold but be on the lookout as well!
Line 4:
When volunteering for a team project, it’s good to know your limitations and weaknesses beforehand. Otherwise, you’ll be embarrassing yourself when the time comes. Also, claiming to be good at something and then not being good at it just gives a bad impression to others on the team who may be counting on you.
Line 5:
Things can really start getting out of hand when people begin considering ethics and basic morality as “limitations”. No matter how much of a free spirit you are, devouring others’ property and rights will always remain a boundary that is not supposed to be crossed. If you do take a step in that direction, the consequences can be dire.
Line 6:
Rather than seeing limitations as obstacles in your path, view them as opportunities to put your creativity to the test and make something meaningful out of it. This switch in outlook can be especially magical if you happen to be someone naturally blessed with creative talent.
Despite your current view on limitations in life, Hexagram 60 and its interpretations will truly make you wonder if you’ve been looking at things all wrong. Truth is - life cannot be limitless, ever.
Both the universe and society will impose certain rules and regulations upon you that either should be challenged or obediently followed. Standing up for/against them is your own choice and you’ll be the one facing consequences in any case.
Remember, you can only blame limitations for so long. A time will come when you’ll need to find a way to work around the obstacle or the badge of failure will be all yours to take.
