The more work you do on yourself, the better you get to know yourself, the less you'll need the support the Yi offers. Cuz the more work you do on yourself, the better you get to know yourself, the more you trust the part of yourself you DON'T know to reveal itself eventually, and the more you start to get working guidance from the higher part of yourself that you used to be out of touch with (until you started to work on yourself and got to know yourself).
See, the Yi is for people who want to know what they don't know. But when you start to get knowledge of yourself and when you start to access your higher self, you not only know more (and so you don't need the Yi) but you also start to trust all that you don't know, and trust the process you're part of (and so you don't need the Yi).
It's a beautiful thing in the meantime though.
And I also couldn't agree more that the 'final point' where you outgrow all the helpers is a phantom. Not that it isn't possible - I'm sure it must be - but that there has to be something better to focus on.To 'need' the Yi is kind of implying that a tool of some kind is needed to access the truth of the "higher self' and in that sense, it just ain't so.
I don't think what Yi offers has a huge amount to do with 'knowing stuff', when you get right down to it.
And there's also something else that happens at the point of contact, which as far as I can make out has nothing whatsoever to do with the transmission of knowledge. I don't know what it is.

That's probably the felt need that most often gets people started with divination: wanting to know, wanting to be sure of the right thing to do, wanting to escape the uncertainty. Only then it turns out that that kind of sureness only comes as part of something quite different.
Also, I can't help noticing that the extra knowledge, wonderful and undeniably useful though it is, is only a small part of what-comes-through-Yi. There's the experience of being seen, heard and spoken to, which changes people in itself. And there's also something else that happens at the point of contact, which as far as I can make out has nothing whatsoever to do with the transmission of knowledge. I don't know what it is.

hmmm, I should read Hilary's blog more often.
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty. That is all ye know on Earth, and all ye need to know." John Keats
Trojan: Why does beauty = truth ? I never understood that phrase. What is beautiful doesn't have to bear any connection to what is truthful and the truth isn't always beautiful.
It is subjective Truth that feels beautiful and which Topal seems to have been expressing in his original post. Subjective Beauty is a more general expression of those human feelings that one is experiencing ultimate value and primary reality.

Ah I see better...still i don't relate the experience of ultimate value as equating to beauty. Isn't primary reality beyond impressions of what is beautiful and what isn't ? No don't answer that I've a feeling this is a concept that I won't get.
Hi Trojan,
I believe you can understand the concept of experiencing beauty as well as any other concept. It is the objective/subjective issue you seem to be having a problem with. It isn't ultimately that one experiences some ultimate truth or value as a lovely woman or whatever else one considers beautiful.
