A Recent Critique of the Yijing and its Believers

[em ching]

Playing with an example..

John wants boat, a special boat to win tournaments with, which costs the same amount as adding a deck to the family's house, which his wife has been talking about for three years.

How many of you just formed a moral decision on what's right or wrong?

How would the Yi have answered to him?

I can imagine the Yi would have some chastising words for that. Or a slap in the shape of hex 4 for even asking the question!

If I want or don't want, and why - that, I believe, is what Yi speaks to. And that must fit into the rest of what I want, the big contextual field. Hence the senses of right and wrong, should and shouldn't enter in.


Yes that does make sense - the world does not and could not revolve around you, and your particular interpretation or expectation of an iching reading at any given moment.

Having said that - last night I had a couple or readings which seemed to conceivably illustrate what was going on - despite the barrier of space and time... and flesh - I was trying to ascertain someone's position towards me rolleyes (There was conflict and they withdrew though I tried for reconciliation - I asked why received 33.2,3 > 6) Now that perfectly illustrated the situation seemingly from his point of view!... I don't know eh I think whatever is clear in that moment maybe - or needs considering - the Yi cuts to. But I'm definitely going to put a limit on asking Q's that could either set me on a high or a low - rather keep to the 'What's going on?/ What do I do here?' type of Q's...
