Susan just got 59 for trying to gain emotional closure on an old friendship. Have either of you had that type of experience with 59?
I'm glad to have a discussion on daily divining since I'm new to The I Ching. Susan just
got 59 for trying to gain emotional closure on an old friendship. Have either of you had
that type of experience with 59?
All The Best,
Peace:bows:
I think that an open question is a question about a one time, one place, one situation per se, you are in fact asking "Which are all the possibilities from here on ?"... So it is an specific question... only that vague.
The other thing is that the Yijing has not the capacity to answer an open question accurately because of its very nature, which is to point where the flow is going, where the flow may carry you, how things may or will change...
Therefore: when more "open" your question, the more "open" the answer, less accurate if you want, you get the answer that the question deserves

Therefore, when you ask an "open" question, the answer will contain the most possible outcome, the possibility with more weight...a bit as when you throw water on a surface, it will have the tendency to flow through the deepest marks, but not all and not necessarily so unless that mark is so deep that takes the whole surface. So, that reading will not be the "it will be", only the "most possibly"... Therefore: when more "open" your question, the more "open" the answer, less accurate if you want, you get the answer that the question deserves
Yeah, Thanks, I do see...Hey, you're pretty good at this!! Much appreciation, Dobro!Nope, but keep in mind that the Yi is user- and time-specific. By that I mean this: if Susan drew 59 at a time of ending an old relationship, then it's right for Susan (not necessarily you or me) and at that time (not necessarily at another different time). Of course, it makes sense that a person would draw 59 (dispersing things) at the end of a relationship. But if it was you or me, we could just as easily draw another hexagram for that situation, because each person is different and so each person has different needs and different ways of handling situations that seem similar to situations other people are going through. For instance, if there was the feeling that it was important to separate from somebody because you didn't agree with the way they were doing things, you might draw 43. Or if you were splitting up with somebody and the split was a big liberation for you, you might draw 40. Or if the person you were splitting up with was a bit of a weirdo and unstable and unpredictable and dangerous, you might draw 29. Or pretty much any other hexagram, depending on your personality, the contour of the situation, and the needs of the time. See?
Yeah, Thanks, I do see...Hey, you're pretty good at this!! Much appreciation, Dobro!
I cannot explain my entire life. But when I ask that open question, everything about myself is part of it. So the more open my question, the more information I put into it. Specific information, nothing open-ended about it. My life, my mind, my heart, my hopes, my fears, nothing is being skipped.

Hi, BruceYup. But there was no trying to gain, just a willingness to let go, and let God.
THANK YOU, Dobro...In another thread, you said you were interested in guidance. I don't think you'll get much in the way of guidance on this board, but if you click around you'll get a variety of views. There's quite a lot of disagreement about what's what on this board. The downside of this is that it's hard for the person who's new here and who is looking to be told what to think and how to do things. The upside is that it's great for the person who's new here and who is willing to work out their own understanding and method, and who just wants to know what the issues and options are.
ThanK You, Chris!
I like your "broadband approach", Dobro.I consult the oracle daily. I always ask an open question ("What do I need to know now?") But how to read the result? Up until recently, when I draw a hex or a line or a combination of lines, I've tried to see the connection between what I've drawn and what's going on in my life. For instance, if I drew 59.5.6>7, like I did yesterday, I'd be looking for the place in my life where I was either dissolving boundaries and dispersing things in a forceful fashion, or where I need to do that - I'd be looking for a situation, in other words. But more recently, I've been thinking that what the Yi is giving me is an overall useful approach for the whole day. So, looking at 59.5.6>7, it means that throughout the day, in situation after situation, one useful way to approach things is in the spirit of dissolving and dispersing things. A broadband approach, in other words, compared to a 'one situation' application.
Whacha think? (Keep in mind I'm talking only about open questions, not questions about specific situations.)
Thanks, DobroSure thing. Or: being a participating member of an inner group will involve useful input for you, possibly even developing discrimination about what sort of input *is* useful.
Thank goodness, no changing line drama today...Pretty serene as aThanks, Dobro
Useful input...hmmm...
As for types of questions, open or narrow, I find I'm learning alot from asking both. Just depends on what frame of mind I'm in when I ask.
Now, for today, I asked a more narrow: What should I focus on today?
So, for July 5th I received: 43 .1.2.3.6. > 12
Since I've got alot going on all at once in my life right now, I got all this drama with the changing lines. Makes sense with what's happening for me. It will be interesting to see how today turns out. I'll let you know tomorrow.
Peace
why are there 2 threads on the same topic
What will bring me closer to my most cherished goals today? 38 .2. > 21
My brother has been giving me some useful tips in the business we're in together. And The Oracle is an authoritative guide.What will bring you closer to your most cherished goals today is meeting authoritative guidance unexpectedly and unusually.
But you know, I sometimes find you get a ton of utility out of defining your terms. What do you understand by 'my most cherished goals'? And what do you think 'authoritative guidance' means?
