But, I think anyone, who calls themselves teacher, sensei, master, etc. who creates dependency upon themselves for a follower's illumination, ought to go and seek help for themselves.
Because, for instance, it may be required of you to act strong and confident while you may be feeling anything but.
Guess I may have a problem with the positive.
Buy someone else's chit or roll your own, whatever buzzes that helpful part of your brain, where answers comes from.

Thank you all so much for your input. One of the aspects of my teacher's concerns that particularly resonates with me is that when you consult the Yi on your own, it is a duality rather than a trinity. His point was that we need three layers- heaven earth human being, jing qi shen, sun moon stars, etc. The ancient Chinese affinity for trinity is part of the picture.
So we consult the Yi with another person to get them to hold the "earth" while we the "human" connect with "heaven" the Yi.
Wondering what people think about this aspect.

My teacher never said that he had to be present in order for me to work with the Yijing, he only felt that I should have another person with me during that process, to ground the reading.

Hi, Bruce:I respect the teaching, even though I don't practice it. Thanks for clarifying this for me. I wonder if all three need to be well versed in the Yijing, or if it's the physical presence of three that matters? I'd be very hard pressed to find a second, much less a third who had any clue of what Yijing is, where I live. Does a dog or lizard count?
