I just asked the Yi if it is ever wrong, does it ever make mistakes and got....
21 Unchanging. Hmmm....
Instead of it being either right or wrong, it bites through to the truth of the situation. In that sense, it's like one of those magnifying mirrors that shows you every pore.
Nice; I like it.
So there seem to be two ways of reading 21 in this case:
* The questioner should bite through the obstacle to understanding that the Yi never gets it wrong - it's only in the interpretation of what the Yi gives that mistakes get made.
* The Yi is that which bites through obstacles to get to the truth. In other words, it doesn't make mistakes.
Really interesting.
We are the filter that distorts the truth.
But we all know deep down that the truth is out there somewhere. /QUOTE]
Not out there, exactly. More like *in* here. Or up in here. Or down in here. But definitely 'in'. 'Out' is the realm of the senses. 'In' is the doorway to the source.
I don't know, is there any 'outside'?
Don't know how to explain it, but it's all in the same space, there is no barrier or gap between here and there.
Makes me wonder, is this idea of 'in' and 'out' as opposite directions, or of inside and outside as two more or less seperate realms (with a gap or a barrier inbetween) also a distortion of the truth?
The reason I used 'in here' with mykey at all was cuz he said we all know the truth is 'out there somewhere', as if truth were something other than what I am.
My thinking though is if you keep on looking "out there" don't you eventually end up "in here".
"Out there" and "in here" never really end and they surely must join up somewhere.
Surely we have just a simple case of semantics.
They [in here and out there] don't join up because the distinction doesn't in fact exist - everything's one. But they exist as concepts in our egoic mind. Perhaps the primary function of the ego is to distinguish between 'me' and 'not me'. So for the ego, 'out there' and 'in here' are real.
I think, and according my humble opinion, I Ching responses are never wrong. They are always right.
Sometimes the answers are what we dont want to know or to be aware of. But when somebody thinks that the answer is wrong, must meditate and go deeply inside of herself o himself searching the truth. Mind is the most powerful tool that we have and therefor sometimes is gambling with our conscious mind.
Anytime that we ask, mind must be like a blank page. Then the question will obtain the right response.
Be well
