'mated' ?
He 'mated them'?
I'm using Bradford's lexicon, and it lacks jie1. Piddle. Am I going to have to get a good, expensive dictionary? Looks like it. In the meantime, 'mated'?
So now he's a horse-kisser? This is going seriously off the rails.
Argh, I hate it when people ask me where I get things from.
You keep holding her feet to the fire, Luis. She can't be allowed to get away with stuff just cuz she's organized the premiere Yi site in the whole world and has made her excellent translation available free of charge to all of us. I mean, that's no excuse.
Accountability, that's what we want.
Right on! No excuse, I say... Don't worry guys, I'll be the firewall to Hilary's "radiance." All the ladies, get behind me; you Dobro, at the end of the line in your finest drags...
But you know, I've heard that some women find sensitive men rather attractive, even despite the eye shadow and glitter spandex. Don't be surprised if you find yourself firewalling all on your onesie...
Hilary:...'Prospering, Prince Kang used a gift of horses to breed a multitude.
He mated them three times in one day.'... to receive the gift was important, but so too is what he does next...
Rosada:...with a maternal gentleness the man in question will bestow great happiness upon him... in this case mutual attraction does not rest on selfish or partisan motives but on firm and correct principles...
I believe that the blessing of to have a horse being a gift from the Ancestress must be understood as an allusion to the relevance of experience with significative women in early stages of guys developpment.
Horses, as animals, belong to the Great Godess.
yours,
Charly
Why should this have anything to do with a guys early stages of development ? Are you trying to superimpose Freudian theory over the Yi - please say not If a woman asks a question and gets this line why would it refer to some guys early development ?
Why do horses belong to the great goddess ? Surely horses belong to the Great Horse
Hi Charly,
Those aren't my words but a quote from Wilhelm. I usually post not only his translation of the line but also his comment. I can't get back into my posting now give him credit, but i will make a point of crediting him in the future. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. As to whether I agree with him, I'm not sure I even understand him!
Rosada:Hi Charly,
I don't know Chinese or any of the more esoteric meanings of the symbols. I can only rely on my own experience to try to figure out the meaning of the hexagrams... So as you see my interpretations of the I Ching are only for me. But even so, perhaps my take on the lines can be useful for someone else...
