Hi,
This is an interesting one. A friend of mine is having a serious operation soon and is worried that things mightn't go well and she might die. As a result she's putting lots of things in order and resolving her past. I asked Yi, 'what will be the outcome of her operation?' and got 41 no changing lines.
I asked the same question a few months ago for another friend who'd gone into hospital following a rapid decline of cancer and got 41 with changing lines (can't remember which), all suggesting clearing the past and letting go, returning to the light. This friend died 2 days after that reading.
I'd like to believe that death for one doesn't mean death for the other and that 41 might just be saying that the operation is forcing my friend to confront her past and heal things, not necessarily that she will die.
Wondered what you thought about this?

I think there is choice in your friend's situation. She can make a choice here. Is what 41 says to me. Her preperations will enable her to live longer.
How do you make that out ? How did Wfox make out this person would recover ? In what way would 'making preparations enable her to live longer ' Is making preparations some kind of magical antidote to death ? Why would you think she had a 'choice ' about dieing ?
Convincing someone they may not die is as presumptious as trying to convince them they will die unless you a fully qualified medical doctor that is....or God.
That people think its okay to pronounce on life and death without having any certainty is really beyond me and so is the one who invites public speculation about it.
Its pretty irresponsible to tell someone their friend is going to live when you can have absolutely no idea isn't it ?
Of course theres a fifty fifty chance wfox will be right ...big deal ! Of course I doubt dancing flame believes every word of this assuming she is not completely stupid, but then why ask in the first place if you are none the wiser.
I was in a similar situation not too long ago. I was going to have surgery, and someone absolutely had me convinced I may die. I actually had a hard time believing it, but I made up a will, gave away money, and actually wanted to die. finally, after all this, I asked the Yi if I was going to die, got 39 with some changing lines which clearly told me, sorry, no dice, you gotta stay on and help some people. I was bummed.

The answer is quite simple, as the question was about the outcome of the surgery.
It is not irresponsible to tell a person that they are going to live, you must always give the patient hope.
Yes it is a big f*****g deal Trojan! You on some f*****g witch hunt yet again with me?
One of the wonderful things about the I Ching is it allows you to ask questions about things that you would never feel comfortable discussing even with your closest friends. If asking the I Ching about Death were inappropriate the I Ching would clearly say so. Instead, while it doesn't give a definitive yes or no response it has given some unsually apt advice for how to consider her current situation.
I'm not saying the question or the Yis answers are innappropriate but that I think people here cannot pronounce the answer as meaning life or death for the querants friend .
Why don't you all gang together like you did last time and get me throw off once and for all.
I am no longer interested in your silly pettiness anymore and I pronounce that with utter confidence.
See you around.
Wow,
I'm just gone for a few days and I can't believe the amount of attention my query has gotten. Its an interesting dialogue I've raised and I'm amazed how the notion of death can bring on such strong reactions.
As I said, I'm a novice with Yi so questions I ask are usually to get a sense of what it responds to and the guidance it gives. As I become more familiar I'll be clearer in my queries.
My friend is the one who's freaking out about death so I asked the question to find out if her fears are warrented and if Yi gives definitive answers on this kind of thing.
Of course I'm not going to tell her that I even asked the question and what answer I got. Its just between me and Yi and all you kindly souls out there.
Her op is soon. Will let you know how it goes. Me, I'm breathing easily about the whole thing cause I'm quite fatalistic about death - when your time is up its up and there's nothing you can do so why freak out about it or try and hold someone back if they're ready to go. Whatever the outcome I'm accepting of it and trust that my friend's soul will guide her in whichever way is right.
