Knowledge is a tool that helps us digging;
Would it be fair to say that the mine of wisdom you mention goes that deep as to be common property? the ground on which all genuine insight comes from?
In Campbel’s hero journey there is a time the hero meets the old wise man, a mentor, the one has been before to the place the hero just enters.
So, the pack follows the lantern.
Like the Tarot's Hermit archetype, it belongs to the collective, as you'd mentioned earlier. The teacher within. And as you've also already pointed out, the inner teacher is sometimes affirmed by someone outwardly. But the danger here is in transference of ownership to the other person that which really was only affirmed.
So, the pack follows the lantern.
but who knows what the pack carries? could there be a lantern waiting to be put together and light one's way?
The Fool was like the pack, whatever it was he could be was wrapped up, unknown.
I was especially intrigued by the two underlined passages in the first quote . .
if what we are talking about belongs to the collective, how can there be a transference of ownership? I can understand how one owns the tools he/she has refined and expanded through practice, but these are the tools (information, technique, skill) not the gem . .
They're two different things. Transference referred to someone outside yourself, someone who affirms your inner teacher/Hermit. The archetype Hermit belongs to the collective, and exists in both you and the outside one who affirms the teacher in you.
An egg is hollow. The light-giving power must work to quicken it from outside, but there must be a germ of life within, if life is to be awakened

Teachings - Someone elses truth that may also become ours. An offering that on occassions we may not be wise to recieve.

the intention and vision for this place (all the forums, including Shared Readings) I asked Yi to show me its highest potential.
Yi says -
4.5 to 59
A clown is making merry, gently caricaturing all manners of human traits with his grimace and pantomime
The Crown of anything integrates the pieces and directs their overall development.
hi Frank,
I sometimes have trouble in wading through your prose but I found your analysis of the reading (especially of 59) very helpful. I don't really get the Sabian symbols part but it's a terra incognita in general for me and it's still not time -if it ever is- to extend my knowledge towards this area . .
:bows:
And now I have no time left... but the gist was that what Frank mentioned about a commentary for each hexagram and line based entirely on experiences is the original idea for WikiWing, and what it's growing into - slowly...
The Yi of questions - that would be an 'Exploring divination' enterprise, wouldn't it, like Rosada's 'memorising' threads? (Does she get a bouquet or a small tropical island or something at 64 line 6?)
Hi Mike
... or its already ours truth. Its the times that the other talks to you and you hear your own voice talking. 61 creates the space for such interactions, as earlier said.

Hi Maria
Ah yes........ I'd forgotten that possibility.
Thank you
Mike
