Since, as I believe, the I Ching basically provides a way to tap into the collective unconscious, can one make up his own own methods to, for example, get a better response to a yes-no question? For example, can I get the answer to a yes-no question through the ratio of yang and yin lines. The more yang vs. yin, the more likely the answer is "yes," and so on.

The EIC model brings out the concrete nature of our being as single context, full integrated, species members where there is no abstraction.
I see what you mean Trojan. I'd be losing all the wisdom that the I Ching has to offer.
i also thank elvis, but just think what it was for me from the linguistical point of view:bag:Elvis, thanks for the detailed response. But I have to admit that I was totally lost after the first paragraph.

I've tried so hard to understand the Emotional I Ching but can't.

But just remember than Yin means "Yes" about half of the time.

thats interesting. How, specifically, were you lost - perhaps I can rephrase it for you?
often though i do take a simple yes or a no from the answer but alot more besides. For example i recently asked if it would be a good idea to return somewhere before january and got hex 33..well i took that as a 'no' basically but it was a no I understood more of the reasons for if you see what i mean
what do you mean?
Yin v Yang and Yes v No both divide the world in half, but along different axes. The stupidest mistake that people make with Yin and Yang is to lump everything into one or the other and then make connections within the class:
Yin is to Yang as Evil is to Good as Female is to Male as Inferior is to Superior -
therefore, Female, being Yin, is Evil and Inferior.
If the Yin state is to accept something and that's what you're asking about, then Yin is saying: yes, be Yin and accept. Yang would be saying: No, be full of yourself instead.
I think the single greatest mistake is thinking the Yi has an opinion about every thing which concerns us. We can gain direction through understanding, and that can help us to make more informed decisions, but Yi isn’t meant to replace our ability to think and choose what we think is best.
I have a guitar that I’m thinking of “parting out”, as I could get more that way than selling it whole. But it’s a good backup guitar as it sits. Unsure whether to part it out of forget about it, I asked Yi; in the back of my mind was 23. Sure enough, 23, no lines. Now, was the Yi saying to strip the guitar and sell it, or to just forget about it and focus on productive things? Furthermore, what does the Yi care about all of this, besides directing me toward the result I want? It still comes down to my choices. If I don’t know which choice would make me happy, how is the Yi supposed to know?
I can't see why this wouldn't work.
