Oh dear, no.Am I right about this?
No, it isn't about getting a gift from heaven by engaging with him!This time I received 44.5, which refers to a gift from heaven. I hear this is the best line of 44, receiving something good and unexpected.
Well the melons to me represent the art project to be created.
Pooja, I sent you a private message last month. Please read it and comply.
You need to construct a signature so people know what you are doing.
(It isn't consulting the I Ching, by the way. No day and time of casting is necessary to understand the messages of Yi, and in fact the system you use corrupts Yi's messages into something else.)
MossElk, i'm not sure why you're picking on Pooja here and demanding he "comply."
Could you please cite the exact rule Pooja is breaking? You said it was a rule you are bound to enforce
1-some people are easily impressed by complexity and custom. (I am wary of both)I have seen other well respected readers here that use *traditional* Chinese methods.
There is no rule against slagging a method, arguing merit, or calling out what seems to be an error. In fact, I would not choose to be part of any community that put such restrictions on their members. (sounds too much like a religion or political party) I didn't disparage her, only the method.but followed that with personal opinion slagging Pooja method as a reader, and *that* is I believe against forum rules.
It has happened,no moderator ever demanded "Comply" with a rule they post their non-standard ( to a western person) method.
A request would be collegial, demanding and slagging - not so much.
The first part wasn't personal, it was procedural.I think Pooja is contributing to the forum, expanding awareness of the Yi, and in your role as moderator you should not be so personal. - LL
I think there are many different ways to interpret the Yi, that’s just my take. It’s not wrong to ask 2 questions at once and get an answer, because the Yi does ultimately give you an answer. I also believe it’s really up to the person to decide what it means. You can get 2 people disagreeing on the interpretation of the lines and outcome, and we really don’t know what the experience is until it comes to pass, right? FYI, I’d like to say that I decided to contact him today and had a good conversation with him. Even though he knows I am not interested in dating him, he was receptive to the idea of working with me again and wanted to meet up to collaborate on our next art project.Leclerq, two points ... First, I was not commenting on the nature of your question about Mr. Art, but on the fact that you are asking two questions at the same time, which will likely lead to a confusing answer. Second, and more importantly, it seems you've made up your mind to see Mr. Art and work with him again, so your query seems more like you're looking for outside affirmation of what you've already have decided to do, regardless of what is actually being said. I'm not saying that's wrong, but it is quite different than asking for advice or for a prognostication.: You want to see this person, so your interpretation of what the I Ching is saying is, surprise, surprise, that you should see this person. By way of example:I say: I want to have creamed corn for dinner and I think we're going to have six more months of winter (two statements).I ask the I Ching: should I have creamed corn for dinner, and, will we have six more months of winter? (two questions in one)The I Ching gives me any one of 4,096 possible responses, and regardless of what's being said, my take-away is: Gee, I think the melons covered by leaves means I should have creamed corn for dinner, and the strong woman means we will have six more months of winter.I don't intend to be mean-spirited, but I want to point out the importance of starting with a clear query /question, and to understand what you're really wanting from the I Ching: advice on how to respond or act? Fortune-telling of a future outcome? Or, are you looking for the I Ching to tell you what we want to hear? Regards, David.
I also believe it’s really up to the person to decide what it means.
Leclerq: I was basing what I said about 2-questions-in-1 from the courses I've taken through this site and the shared wisdom here, which I interpret as: the clearer the question the clearer the answer.I think there are many different ways to interpret the Yi .... It’s not wrong to ask 2 questions at once and get an answer, because the Yi does ultimately give you an answer.
