For me it's a reality seeking device, a cosmic psychologist, a book of uncommon common sense.
Sooo, I think I agree broadly speaking. I need to digest this a little. I think the process of reading and interpretation can certainly induce both left and right brain thinking, but perhaps that is also my imagination. Some time ago I seemed to experience something unusual, almost like an actual feeling of a massive cognition boost, that seemed like my thinking processes kicked into a whole new level...
However I very much think there is something, some kind of force....However, it seems difficult to actually prove, other that thru personal experience. I suppose proving it is not really necessary...
Oh, I agree completely. I wasn't referring to the cognition process, which can be defined as the interaction of intuition and reasoning, left/right brain cooperation. But that happens after receiving Yi's answer, as we discern the meaning and how to practically apply it to our question or situation. I was referring to before receiving Yi's answer, or the energy which points to that particular reference in the IC, or whichever oracle one is using.
When I ask my wife, "How should we deal with this or that family problem?", she rarely answers with "No game in the field" or "Relaxing your big toe. Friends approach whom you can trust."
'Rarely'... ? You say your wife rarely gives such answers....? So that means sometimes, on the odd occasion, she does say such things as this ? what a treasure she must be..
So I am cautious when I say I have faith in the Yi. I trust the Yi to give me something to consider that is not-me. Not-me in a radically different way. Most of us listen to the advice of our friends or family, but they are all tinged with me-ness. They are like-minded people, people who think like me, because I come from them or we have bonded over our familiarity with each other.

Belief therefore, as I see it, is itself an invisible force, and is THE invisible force which can determine what response from this dictionary of categories within the Yijing, or any other oracle, will open to, and which will cause the coins, cards, sticks, tortoise shells, or entrails to demonstrate or foretell. Belief therefore is not a noun but a verb. It does not define anything, but like the electron it is the active force, which is best depicted in the Yi as The Creative. It is untiring, always available to tap into, but can not be defined as a thing other than as an invisible force, made visible only by a receptive vessel, which believes.
sooo, i actually edited, and added above. Thanks for the quick reply. I was still re-working, as my context was a a bit out...
people who turn each reading into a fantastic display of virtuosity by referencing 30 or 40 collateral hexagrams, each with their component dozens of trigrams and bigrams. And quadrigrams and pentagrams. By the time they are through, after several hours of manipulation, they have constructed not just an answer, but a treatise.
