So with the Yi, sending a question downrange helps to get residual gunk cleared while tightening the inner structure in a natural way. The answer is so general, to a question that was not even formed, except perhaps one that's like "what's up?", then I'm then able to have a clear focus on my priorities and goals to ask about and aim with a clear focus.
I'm pleased that you share this point of view, and that your research discovers this practice to be common. It is sometimes frustrating when I'm asked a question or for an interpretation in private, that the querent remains entirely glued to their question, and nowhere is this more common than when it involves relationships and questions about this special other person. Sometimes it's impossible to break out of that egg shell and into the hen herself.By addressing a situation to the Yi you allow every aspect of the situation to play an equally important role. The Yi will help you to find what you really need to focus on, it will point to the aspects that do deserve your attention. Without a question you will get the most objective answer possible.
Thanks for the wonderful comments and references!
The concept of not asking aspecific question/scenario reminds me of some New Age groups advocacies. In their exercises, picturing specific desired scenario is a used to reach a state of hapiness in subject's mind, but this is just a way to "instruct your subconscious". Then subject must drop the specific scenario and let sub-conscious work on reaching that desired "hapiness" in this physical reality in its own way, because conscious "envisioning" actually limits the possibilities. Being too specific in asking IC questions may have similar draw-backs, and is susceptible to have "fanciful thinking" while asking.
I will also try sooo's suggestions of shooting the blanks to help settle down and focus. That is an area I need to improve on.
When you go to a traditional diviner, he will ask you, "What do you want to know?"
You only have to say something like:
My wealth luck 求財
My marriage 姻緣
My health 健康
My father's sickness 問父疾
The well-being of my family 家宅
My general well-being 自身
The divination will show you the whole picture including when something will happen.
I just asked the I Ching, "What is the appropriate attitude or ritual for consulting the oracle?"
I received 25uc.
I see this as emphasizing that one be without prejudice to the outcome. All beings = all possibilities.
Thanks a lot for the tip. Yeah, 25uc is a very important attitude. It is so easy to have fanciful thinking when asking IC.
On a more minor sounding note, yet again to true "gunnies", an important one, I shoot no blanks, either from a firearm or to the Yi. A blank accomplishes nothing to enhance accuracy. A live round, preferably identical to those that will be used in the firearm, leaves traces of the bullet casing or lead and burned and unburned identical powder, and will prepare the barrel to most accurately launch downrange to the target.
