Gate 47: Realizing

Confusion working towards a realisation.

When it overshoots

Confusion treated as failure.

At its best

Patience with what has not resolved.

Carried and open

In a chart that carries it

Natally held, the mind works hard to make sense of the past; it deserves time rather than a deadline.

In a chart where it is open

Where it is open, someone else’s confusion can become yours for a while; let it pass through.

When it is in the sky

Confusion is working its way toward a realisation. Patience with what has not resolved is wise.

The six lines

1. Line 1, The InvestigatorRealisation needs patience, so let the confusion sit without forcing it into an answer.
2. Line 2, The HermitUnderstanding tends to arrive just after the effort to understand has been put down.
3. Line 3, The MartyrFalse realisations teach discernment, each one clearing the way for the real thing.
4. Line 4, The OpportunistTalking confusion through with a friend can turn it into insight halfway through a sentence.
5. Line 5, The HereticAn honest account of not knowing yet is worth more than a clarity that has been faked.
6. Line 6, The Role ModelThe confusions that resolved were simply the ones that were given time.
