I also apply the maxim - do no harm. But you see, I think idle gossip is harmful. It harms the one indulging in it, and it harms the subject of the gossip. Nothing we do is without consequence on the spiritual level - that's one of the spiritual laws we have to live with - in fact, one of the physical laws, since all action has a reaction. Idle gossip is never purposeless, either. If the intent is good, then that's one thing. I also think that interference in other people's business should be undertaken very very carefully, because even good intent can result in terrible mistakes made. That is where the Yi can help the most - to help us understand our intent, and also, the consequences of our actions. Because all of them have consequences.I like Willowfox's quote, but my experience with the I Ching is different from Sophie's. I am a strong believer in total freedom at all times and in all things. If you want to use the I Ching to poke your nose into someone else's business, I say go for it! I am not saying that Sophie's approach is wrong, for her approach makes her feel comfortable with herself, and so for her she is totally correct. For me, however, that would be totally incorrect. To paraphrase Willowfox's maxim: If it harms none, then what the hell!

. If I were in T 30's shoes, and I was curious about how that couple will weather their marital problems, I would not hesitate to use the I Ching to find out. Jim
. I impose no boundaries on what I ask about, and neither does the I Ching. I fervently believe that all people should feel free to ask whatever divinatory question they want to ask at any time and for any reason. And, I fervently believe we should not try to control others by trying to impose our own personal taboos on them.
