Yuan heng li zhen

Hexagram 1 says yuan heng li zhen – from the source, creating success, constancy bears fruit. Hexagram 2 says yuan heng li pinma zhi zhen – from the source, creating success, a mare’s constancy bears fruit The remaining hexagrams can be seen as ‘children’ of these two – 62 ways of blending their natures – and most… Continue Reading

When Yi is neutral

A couple of months ago I wrote about ‘Essentials for Yijing readings‘ and included that old favourite hobby horse of mine: the commentary is not the answer, along with some examples of commentary – Wilhelm’s, Karcher’s and mine – that was decidedly not what the oracle said. All three examples I came up with were from lines where Yi’s original words… Continue Reading

They will need to be… Continue Reading

They leave her wondering, “I’d like to believe that it was my clear intention to do this class  for free, and the universe supporting that choice,… Continue Reading

Yi on the Secret

Unless you’ve lived under a rock for the past few months, you’ve probably heard of the Secret, and maybe gathered that it’s a creatively-marketed way of presenting the ‘Law of Attraction’. The basic idea is that whereas ‘common sense’ says that stuff happens to us, and that makes us feel certain ways and believe certain… Continue Reading
