Hi Luis,

Thanks for these links. I'm a novice with the I Ching and I'm currently devouring every web-site and published translation I can find. I hadn't come across these before even though I must have done hundreds of searches by now. I followed them up and found them interesting. I'll be reading them more thoroughly in the coming weeks.

Here's a link I found some time ago about the Yi that I find myself consulting a lot:

Once again, thanks

Michael...

Thank you for the url. I've bookmarked it. Have you read his great interpretation of Hexagram 30 yet?

http://www.geocities.com/solo_man9/wic30.htm

Cheerio the noo,

Val

[michael]

Hi Val,

Yes. I've had this one recently - how's that for synchronicity! I think I looked it up in my Wilhem version originally, but your posting prompted me to check it out again on this site and you're right, Hexagram 30 is vividly spelled out here.

Regards

Michael

Hi Michael:

Thanks for your post the other day. I think the link you posted is a very nice one. Once in a while we can find nice litte jewels on the web.

Cheers,

Luis

Hello Val --

I am doing some research on Hex 30 and found this thread. The link above is dead. Any chance you have the text?

Blessings,
Malka

[val]

Malka...

I have no idea where this man's site was moved to. I've looked and can't find it. I miss it. If anyone else knows, I'd love you to share.

It was the clearest (clarity) interpretation of clarity I've read.

Love,

Val

[val]

Malka...

NEWS FLASH! I just did a search using all kinds of criteria..."wisdom of the I Ching" worked... and I found the new site. It apparently is brand new. He doesn't have all the hexagrams there yet. And 30 isn't there yet. But here's the url nonetheless.

I've searched online, and found an incomplete version at http://eyler.freeservers.com/Wisdom/wicindex.htm

Unless there are two of Robert Eyler Coates, Sr, it seems the author died in Jan 2002. What a huge shame to have missed talking with him...

I think this page belongs to his son:
http://www.set.usm.edu/BCoates/personal.html
who might have the complete work.

I may also have it somewhere on my hard drive. A shame the computer doesn't have an internal Google...

[johnro]

Hi Hilary,I did at one time have his complete interpretion from his website.

It appears that I no longer have his site which I once downloaded to Webcopier.

However; I did print it all down to hard copy.

If anyone is interested,how can I help.

[malka]

Val and Hilary,

Thank you. I read what was posted on the above website and it is lovely. If anyway has the complete version electronically than I would love a copy. If not, then Johnro can we connect and maybe I can purchase a hard copy from you?

Namaste,
Malka

A hyper-generous lurker has hunted down cached versions of the whole thing, and formatted them to boot. Here it all is, pdf-ed to be compatible with everyone's machine. Right click and choose 'save target as' if you have a slow connection.

[cheiron]

Thank you Mr Coates ;)

I have missed your web site

[shelley]

BIG thanks to all who worked on finding this and especially to our Generous Lurker. Lots more to study. And I'd just managed to get a copy of Sarah Dening's Everyday I Ching, too. So much to read, so little time...

Love,

Shelley

[val]

What a great surprise. Does this mean I can stop kicking myself for not copying the WIC site?

Thank you so much for your kindness generous lurker.

And thank you Hilary for hosting it on your site for us.

Love,

Val

Generous Lurking Benefactor...

You did a wonderful job on this WIC reformat. It's so easy to navigate. You are a very clever creative problem solver.

Thank you again!

Love,

Val

[hermit]

Thank you everyone for that wonderful WIC file. Printed out all 123 pages and can't wait to read it all. All I need now is an electric hole puncher so I can put it in a 3-ring binder. Got to keep those un-numbered pages together!!

[malka]

Wow -- this is wonderful and beautiful! I feel so very blessed to have access to these words.

Blessings,
Malka

http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/I_Ching_community/clipart/smile.gif Thank you, you hyper-generous lurker for that wonderful version. And thank you too, Hillary for hosting.
It&acute;s really a wonderful version.
Btw: Please, Cheiron (Kevin) would you mind to give me your email address? I would like to ask you something private. My email is soshin@chello.at . Thank you.

[cheiron]

Hi Soshin

It is on its way... no problem.

Warm regards

[cheiron]

Hi Shaoqi

Right click on the blue text 'wic.pdf'

Select 'Save Target As'

I have just tried it... it is still working.

Sorry can't help further.

(If you use PDF so much the above advice is probably an insult... sorry) http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/I_Ching_community/clipart/paperbag.gif

All the best

--Kevin

[val]

Hi shaoqui...

The first time I tried, I had about three or four programs open that were using bandwidth (I'm on dial-up *grunt and groan*), and it wouldn't save. I closed all the programs and my browser, then re-opened my browser and tried again, and it worked.

I don't understand the white screen, though, if you're right clicking on the hyperlink. hmmmmm

Love,

Val

[sparhawk]

Wow, thanks to the lurker! I think I may know who the lurker is... The same one that forwarded me the material for the Method of 64, perhaps? If so, that lady is a little angel and I respect her privacy.

Thanks again!

Cheers,

Luis

[shaoqi]

Is says "There was an error opening this file, the file is damaged an cannot be repaired"

I wonder why im the only one getting this message.
Well thanx anyways...shaolin

[cheiron]

Hi Shaolin

Want me to email it to you?

?Might work?

Regards

--kevin

[bradford_h]

Hi all-
I can't download this successfully either.
I get the same message as Shaoqi.
I've read the whole thing,
but just assumed it would stay online.
Kevin- If you wouldn't mind, I'd really
appreciate a copy.

Dear b

It is in the post.

Good luck http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/I_Ching_community/clipart/happy.gif

(Let me know if it works)

Warm Regards

I had no problem with the link. The whole PDF file loaded almost instantly. My cable modem was fast before, but they just increased it to super-fast. "Full bandwidth" they call it, and at no extra charge no less. Nice to get something free for a change.

I never heard of this man, Coates, before, but I am very impressed with his work. Thank you, Generous Lurker, Hilary, et al.

Namaste,
Joan

[shaoqi]

Cheiron ,
yes please email it to shaoqi@tampabay.rr.com

thx shaolin

[soshin]

About the PDF Problem. I also faced it, but I was able to go around after much trial and error. I did not try to save it to disk anymore but to look at it online, and then to safe it from the Adobe Acrobat Reader which opens in your browser window. At least this worked fine for me.

Hope, that helps,


Yours, Soshin

[shelley]

I did it the same way as Soshin.

Hi there,

Some more links I found today testing a new search engine:

Very Old link still working... Interesting (http://www.skepticfiles.org/mys1/i_ching.htm)

Four Arguments for the Validity of the I Ching Oracle Method (http://members.tripod.com/~wu_wei2/Chapter_7_arguments.html)

Cheers,

Hi Hilary...

I have a situation here. Your organization and formatting of this pdf book is perfect for some important reference material that is kept on a shared p/w protected website for my department at work.

Right now they keep it as docs and pdfs subdivided in "topic" folders, a system which some people find very inconvenient. They'd love to be able to just go down a list and click on the document they need. I'd love to present the pdf formatting you've done for consideration for updating and streamlining access to this material. I don't feel comfortable about presenting a book on the Yi Jing, however. So...

my question to you: Is there another less esoteric example of this kind of indexing on the net anywhere to which I can direct the decision makers here?

Thanks!

Love,

Val

[hilary]

Well, obviously I'we never made a pdf that wasn't Yi-ish. And while there must be some more nicely-done pdfs out there somewhere, I can't think of a good one. I'll have a look.

But basically whatever indexing you can do in a Word document, you can convert to pdf, and set the pdf to open split-screen in that style if you like. You could always make your sample indexed thing and send it to me to convert.

If you have the full Adobe Acrobat (which I don't), you can also link from one pdf file to another, and create ultra-complex indexing systems to your heart's content.
