I want to ask basic questions about the Yi. In what way do we ask questions? What does "present" "changes" and "future" mean? Are the responses based on our images, of what we see inside ourselves or what? That's enough to get started.
Also, is it better to choose one interpretation or to read as many as possible? For instance, Wings response to 45.6 makes a separation sound permanent, whereas Taoist iChing makes it sound more promising, more human, less dramatic. Comments on this is appreciated too. Thanks
Hi J,I posted 45.6 as an example, but my question was "What are the consequences if I stay with Jackie?" 45.6 > 12.
The question before that was, "What is the consequences of leaving Jackie?" 28.6 > 44.
After doing another reading with the same questions, I get 22.6 > 37 What are the consequences of staying with Jackie? What are the consequences of of continuing with jackie? 57.2 53 Similar questions, far different answers. So, I an frustrated and confused by the Yi and not so much about the relationship jackie and i have.
Nothing like Yi confirming the truth of things, don't you think? Option one: rock, option two: hard place!Really, the choice is mine. In this case, the Yi told me what I already knew.
Bradford has a great point to stick to some authentic translations, but sometimes I find the "raw" translations are also confusing. I think, with a healthy dose of common sense which you seem to have in ample supply, it's a matter of finding trusted commentaries over time as well.But the point is, Yi told me what I already knew but if I took other peoples commentaries and comments, I might believe that I was reading it all wrong.
