Fortune No.100

Poem (The Oracle's Verse)

欲就東兮欲就西,逢人說事轉痴迷,登山不見神仙面,莫若歸休更勿提
They try to go to the east or to the west, and when people talk to them about things, they are immediately lost. Even if you climb a mountain, you will not see the face of a goddess, and you will not be able to return home to rest.

Story (Historical Background)

楚襄王陽台夢醒

Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)

此籤及百,祈之未然,營謀用事,費力流連。此籤無常無定之象,凡事多虛少實。
This lot is the elephant of "impermanence and indefiniteness," and is empty outside but few inside. There are a hundred of these lots, and even if you pray, it will never happen. The business of planning and doing is to spend power and to be carried out in a continuous flow. According to the spirit lot, this lot is an elephant of "impermanence and indefiniteness," and outside it is empty, and the number is small. The first 100 poems are the waxing and waning numbers, the end of all numbers. In other words, it is the end of the previous number and the beginning of the next number. The blackness and darkness are gone, and the dawn is coming. On the surface, it may appear to be a sign of decline, but in fact it is a sign that one has reached the path of Tongheng. The book that gathers blessings should be gathered with a small mind. Pray for a hundred things to come to pass, and spend your energies on planning and doing things.

Explanation

[Summary] Move forward steadily with an eye on reality. Do not cling to unfulfilled dreams, but use your own strength to open up the future.
This lot has the meaning of "unexhaustive actuality". It encourages the parties involved to be practical in all matters. Some things are possible and unattainable, so do not be delusional and obsessed with them. If you do not remember the things that are in the state of being "cloudy" and "flowery," you are wasting your time and energy. It is better to break free from doubts and rehabilitate oneself than to be obsessed with uncertainties. In all matters of business, we must proceed with one step at a time. Only with one minute of plowing will there be one minute of harvest. If you have a dream, you must work hard to realize it.

Practical Advice for Modern Life

King Xiang of Chu waking from the Yangtai dream closes the cycle by returning from sweetness to reality. Do not remain too long in an unattainable person, vague plan, or unsustainable habit. Now that you are awake, choose one future you can build with what you have.

Recommended Deity & Prayer Advice

Pray to Guanyin Bodhisattva for strength to walk positively in reality after waking from a dream. This is not resignation; ask to choose again a path suited to who you are now.
