How Far of the Future Should We Ask About?
Any question that involves the future. I wrote some examples. I'm not talking about "when" questions that demand the I Ching to precise some sort of date; rather "how" and "will" questions.I think it would be interesting if you could tell us what type of question you might want to ask in this situation and what the time frame would be? Or, is this more of a theoretical or philosophical type of inquiry? If so, it gets even hard to answer.
This for example. If the cast says"no", should the questioner forget about becoming famous for the rest of her life? If no, how should she interpret it? Does this cast just reflect present possibilities? Or what?Will I be famous some day?
Mary, I realized I may not be the best person to answer this question, because I don't generally use the I Ching as a prognosticator for future events.Any question that involves the future. I wrote some examples. I'm not talking about "when" questions that demand the I Ching to precise some sort of date; rather "how" and "will" questions.

That's why I ask how far in the future is appropriate to ask about; or, if not mentioned in the question, to be considered in the interpretation.
I strongly disagree with this.The future can't be told, because it doesn't exist.
Will I die?

No, not at all.The question of how*1 and why*2 we use the Yi, and how*3 and why*4 it actually works is obviously vital*5 to be able to address such questions as to "future" events and what is actually happening*6 when we consult the Yi in that way.
Yes, this is possible.a reading about another person without their knowledge or permission.
It could be all manner of answer.Would it be a reflaction of the person asking the question, would it be accurate in terms of the person the question was about, how would one know whether the answer was directed to the questioner and about the questioner, or not, and many more such fascinating points all connected with both threads.
Ah, you took this personally.Sorry to say but I think that perhaps it may be your knots that are tangled.
Sigh...Firstly are you suggesting that a quote someone that amy have written the foreword because they were relatively famous.. as someone who's opinion can be relied on to substantiate an argument.
You certainly have the right and capability to believe that,Contemplation of those things is most definitely necessary to benefit from the Yi
I put the question to the IChing and received 37.2.4-26.
Just so everyone knows I am being absolutely serious I did a reading as to whether I should bother continuing with any discussions on the Forum and the reading came back a most definite "perseverance furthers".
Could you provide the translation of 利貞 so that all that dont read Chinese know what you are referring to.
dont think you are getting what I am saying. A reading is a personal thing. For all the reasons that I have given I wouldnt attempt to interpret someone elses reading, and nor would I trust the interpretation, and judgement, of any reading that I did to anyone else unless I knew what their perspective on what the Yi is, and had first been made clear.
I realised that I am actually really annoyed that anyone asked me for a copy of "my"reading.
