I may write a book. "The readings I got wrong: A more successful life without the Yi"
LOL Love that title...!I have a book thats annoyingly called "I Ching: The No.1 Success Formula" by Christoper Markert. I actually quite like the book and still refer to it but "The No.1 Success Formula" bit makes me snarl each time i see it there on the book case To titles such as that there really does need to be an antidote ...I mean its not a success formula is it. If it were I'd be.. well more successful than I am...surely richer anyway.
Recalling anther misunderstanding, aged about 20, feeling down threw 47.1. Thought it meant I would be miserable for 3 years, it was fated. Went off feeling doomed,tragic, fated to wander the earth in alienation and misery...when inadvertently something cheered me up and i felt almost happy...then I thought 'no I'm not meant tobe happy the Yi said i was gong to be miserable"
Hi folks,
If you cast an oracle that indicates a future you clearly do not like, especially one with poetry calling for years of ugliness and bad times you do not like--THEN you should do something to make things different and the prior oracle ceases to be valid. Throwing the coins again is generally NOT a way to change anything really, but getting up and interacting or changing or making something new occur is. The oracle is not a source of final judgment rather a technique to give a glimpse into what is the topography of your current reality. The whole point has always been to use the information to see what you can't see on your own so you can decide not to step into the pit in the abyss not that you accept your sad fate and keep stepping blind knowing that next step is going to really, really hurt a lot.

One of the Greek oracles, the sibyl at Cumae, used to write the separate words of her prophecies on leaves and then fling them out of the mouth of her cave. It was up to the suppliants to gather the leaves and make what order they could.

My post was explaining how I missed the point and then you come along and tell me i missed the point...but you missed the point...aargghh
dora:...That article seems very interesting, too bad I can't access it whole . .
If you can read greek, why could you not read chinese? I don't understand. Time ago english was chinese for me. I'm not sure if it does not continue being.
Yours,

Yes that was exactly my point. That was why it was an 'oh no ' moment. The oh no moment was not about the answer but about the misunderstanding of the answer, the 'oh no' of seeing with hindsight 47.1 never did mean there was going to mean 3 years misery but to move on out of the doldrums You obviously didn't get my meaning at all. My post was explaining how I missed the point and then you come along and tell me i missed the point...but you missed the point...aargghh
... There are folks who continue to believe Oracles are fixed judgment and the ancient words are what the oracle is all about which is an OK belief as long as you accept having your cow stolen by a passerby or your nose sliced off from time to time...
