It's not true that these questions were exactly the same.willowfox said:This was her second question about exactly the same thing, so it is not valid.
The original Chinese for these two instances is quite different, however.martin said:Remarkable that there is a 'grandmother' in 62.2 as well as in 35.2. (in the Legge translation, WB has 'ancestress' in both cases)
In order to have these worms somewhere else, so that they don't eat up this thread, I've created a new one in the Divination area:martin said:Hmm, I think this opens a big can of off topic worms.
I can't really say for sure that Autumn is not a private investigator but I can tell you that you don't need to be one to remember you and your questions very clearly.What, are you a private investigator, tracking my posts, counting how many times I ask something?
I don't think it's that simple. Everyone has ego-issues, at least I haven't got the impression that anyone here is enlightened. There are issues of needing to feel competent and valuable, being heard, and lots of other things, for the ones trying to help. Most certainly people do have things to gain by responding to questions, and being listened to. They do gain a feeling of worth from it, for instance.lightangel said:Nobody has anything to gain here by replying to your posts, think about it.
Sure, but I don't see that happening here. I think very often people just want to help. Besides, there are so many opportunities to be heard, I think we can all pick and choose. There are many other more interesting threads where they could be showing off if they wanted to.There are issues of needing to feel competent and valuable, being heard, and lots of other things, for the ones trying to help.
Someone getting irritated? I highly doubt that there aren't any issues of the ego there. Same goes for your defense, dismissing everything I said (21.6).lightangel said:Sure, but I don't see that happening here. I think very often people just want to help.
Ego issues?dismissing everything I said
True, we all deal with obsessions from time to time. But most people also have their own way of communicating and helping others process information and gain insight. And we also have to understand that.Most of us go through the same frustrating situations again and again. In order to leave that repetition behind, it is necessary to gain insight into it. Everyone has their own process of gaining that insight into their lives' situations.
I don't know about you, but I know sometimes what I really need is some bluntness, a firm "snap out of it" to make me start to see the light. And sometimes, when you are not listening to what it says anyway, I think it's best to leave the Yi aside.It's best to support people asking questions about their situations and inner workings, whether to themselves, others or the Yi.
I'm not denying that I have ego issues, Lightangel. Everyone has them.lightangel said:Ego issues?

...I feel like this is something every interpreter should have pasted to their wall as a warning and hubris-preventative.moonrise said:"You really think you know what was happening in the meanwhile? What was happening AT ALL? What my true inquiry in this is? You don't have a clue! You think you know what is happening IN ME? How I feel, what I think, who I am? You know NOTHING about me!"

autumn said:ewald,
If your comment about irritation implied that I was irritated when I gave my interpretation, then let me state for the record that I was not at all irritated by Moonrise. If I had to pinpoint an emotion, it would be incredulity. If that could be called an emotion.
Withholding the truth and nurturing false hope is the greatest sin any reader can make. Much greater than causing a seeker to feel misunderstood and conspired against.
I have never asked for anyone to like me. In fact, I care very little about that. As for why I am here, that is an excellent question I have been asking myself for a few weeks now. It is some kind of calling that I am being introduced to, though I may not continue to post here.
