Since I'm still experimenting with IChing readings, I thought I would try something which is not directly personal - something about world events. I wonder how other people find the Yi on the subject of global history/current affairs.I thought in this reading (below) it was rather apt.
Anyway, I asked the Yi: "Is the world moving towards experiencing a so-called "antibiotic apocalypse"?'
In retrospect, I think this question was probably a bit closed. But the Oracle's answer was interesting: Hexagram 19 unchanging. An unchanging reading was if anything the last thing I had expected, but I got to thinking about the hexagram more deeply than I ever have before.
It may describe the history of antibiotics: the solution that created enormous progress or advance but is now reaching its 8th month - its sell-by date. This would be the most alarming spin to place on the reading. Or it may suggest that we have a short time to face the 'evil' - the reversal from the light - and that we must seize it. Its emphasis on biology is also interesting, I feel - the hexagram is about natural processes and their relationship to human culture. It seems to posit some sort of relationship between the man or woman of insight who can perceive what the people need, and the way spring revivifies the natural landscape. Perhaps it's suggesting we can, or should, find a new way to work with the natural world in order to enable or safeguard human life. Of course, modern farming practises are partly to blame for what is happening.
I'd be interested in anyone else's thoughts. Thank you!
I feel very much this crisis will be circumvented by greater intelligence manifesting through the work and inspirations of current and upcoming generations.

It could easily say to me that guidance arrives through the gifts of scientists, researchers, drs....I don't know exactly, but I think guidance will arrive on this. Also things outside human influence may arrive to change the route of this upcoming disaster.
"The eighth month is the month of harvest. If this comes round too soon for what Nears to reach full growth – if the situation demands that you produce a tangible result prematurely – then this means misfortune."
I don't tend to think they 'work'. Global history/current affairs questions that is. Well what I mean is I don't think one can ever leave oneself out of an answer. The answer will always be addressed to you. So if one asks a global history question it still has one in it so to speak. It can't be an objective measure of anything. If others asked the same question they'd get quite different answers although you never know they might be along the same lines.
