Deciding on a method of Yi consultation

[cirka09]

I've been juggling two consultation methods for a few days now, trying to make a decision on which to continue with. The options are between three coins or a string of 64 beads that hold the same probability as the 3 coins i.e 8,8,1,1. Haven't made a firm decision yet, but I went ahead and asked which method would be best for me. For the beads I received 11.4 > 34 and for the coins 50.2.4 > 52. I think, in the end, it doesn't matter which I choose, but I'm curious how these answeres apply?

this isn't a comment on the reading, just an observation. I wonder if you need to make a decision at all? For me the most important question is which method appeals to you on any particular day. Which do you feel like using, or what comes to hand? It might change according to your mood or which method is most practical. I think the important thing is for us to choose the tool which suits our purposes and inclinations best, and that's a decision for you to make, not the I Ching. I would just follow your intuition on this one, or continue to use both.
