t wasn't a single bone, it was the chicken without flesh
OH. That would be scary. I was picturing one little bone. I'm glad you're free of her.
Hence the vicious circle we often see in for example psychiatry.. And like I said, it could maybe be explained aspects of the self (daemon) "punishing" you for not listening to your heart, for not walking your path correctly. The self, as we know, can be a terrible archetype. Hence we use the ching, me thinks.
If this occurs, it's time to put away the IC, or tear it to pieces, until one regains their natural self without these critical inner voices which are solicited from the IC. And then beware that the mind or soul's dependency on this other source of knowledge, enlightenment, spirituality, wisdom, etc. doesn't return to another form to lose your self in.
In other words, "If you meet Buddah on the road, kill him." ?
Clarity. The character [probably] shows a bird and a net. Birds bring messages; nets catch them. Nets are man-made, woven together.
Oracle
'Clarity. Harvest in constancy.
Creating success.
Rear female cattle, good fortune.'
Harvest in constancy: catching the bird, getting the message, is not meant to be just a one-off ‘aha!’ moment, but sustained awareness. And – heng, creating success – a way of creative two-way engagement with the world.
Female cattle represent what supports and sustains clarity. They’re the support of a culture: source of food and especially of power for farming. Because they lend their strength, we can develop higher civilisation.
Also, they are docile and willing – cows rather than bulls.
So these are the ‘fuel’ for the light of a whole culture. There are three factors:
The light of awareness
The capacity to sustain that light
The actions to nurture that capacity
Those actions are ‘taming’ of cattle – ‘taming’ as in the name of Hexagram 9 and 26, nurturing and accumulating – and also ‘holding together’, like the strands of the net. This can refer to the capacity of a system of thought to contain meaning; the capacity of an individual to stay at a high level of awareness; also the capacity of a community, with its interwoven connections, to contain and support people. (Part of the ‘awareness’ theme is truly seeing other people.)
I am surprised this post attracts 5 pages of response and no one cares to analyze the reading a bit further scientifically as based on old school teachings of theory.
However I think we might be naive if we believe that nobody can harm us with negative energy, when you have a gifted practitioner who knows how to steer energies, I believe they can do a lot of harm if they are that way inclined. I also believe people' ignorance on the subject can also perpetuate it, after all the devil's biggest trick was convincing the world he doesn't exist.
I, for many years, have wished this to be a place where ideas of all kinds could be discussed with childlike curiosity and abandon, and if it were not for confirmation bias, also called myside bias, among other names, this might have been possible. Unfortunately, this forum is the rule rather than the exception.The fact that this post attracts 5 pages of responses, just goes to show how interested we really are in the subject being brought up. As "scientific" human beings we are not supposed to entertain such "ridiculous ideas" as curses and demons; had I started to talk to people in psychiatry about "demons" and the like, I would most definitely lose my license to practice medicine. On the other hand, there are so many things between heaven and earth that to not entertain the idea would be quite arrogant imho. We might miss out on a lot of information if we close our eyes to it.
And I have to say I love this forum exactly because of the philosophical discussions that ensue. It really adds the spice to it all.
