Lofting's emotional i ching

[Dushan]

Hello everybody, new member here!

I spent like half the night reading about Chris Lofting's system... from what I managed to comprehend by the shared experiences and speculation here, I think he may be onto something (there's a notion congealing in my mind, hmmm). So I'm very, very curious to find out more.

Regrettably, his website (the emotionaliching.com one) seems to be either down, non-existent (any more) or simply blocked for me... not sure. His books I found on Amazon, but they're both too expensive for me (developing country citizen here ahoy), and they're not available for Kindle (at which point I would've maybe thought about buying them nevertheless).

So... what gives? Any updates on his system? Notes? A website, blog, anything? I was really looking forward to using his EIC, seems very intuitive to me -- when I first read the questions (screenshot by someone else before the site went down) I immediately grasped what each was connoting, and so...

Well, I sure hope that people will notice my post. Since the last one was 2 years ago, 2012...

Many thanks in advance, fellow seekers.

Luis probably knows what's up with Chris' site.

I found it to be insightful if seeking deeper implication of the connection between emotions and Yi's meanings. Chris' perspective is that all hexagrams exist for everyone at any given time, and that when we receive an answer we flesh out the meaning from whatever we get. He didn't acknowledge the oracle aspect at all, referring to it as 10BC magical thinking, which of course drew a lot of opposition.

It's possible that even his family could not comprehend his work enough, or found it too time consuming to try to maintain it. Some perceived him a genius, some as a total nutty professor. I think he was a bit of each.

Hi Dushan,
I gathered several of his texts, if you send me your email-address I can send what I have. It is far from complete (Lofting complete is anyhow an illusion), but there is quite a lot to read.

I agree that it really works, his list of questions. It is very different from casting the coins, but especially useful for practical questions. A users manual for tangible actions.
