The sage according to carol k. anthony

[void]

My POV re time is its a great medium for us to exist and have our story in. I mean with no sequence theres no story. Hmm yes I think all threads eventually look like the same one don't they

Rosalie re Carol Anthony, my copy of A Guide to the I Ching is absolutely falling apart so at some point I'm reminded I spent alot of time with it, imbibed what I needed then spat alot out, hmm overall I think I am very ungrateful,

after all it is better that she wrote the book than never wrote the book. Funny I just remember getting so annoyed (obviously recalcitrant ego) by her interpretations, probably at times when the question had absolutely nothing to do with quelling my ego or anyone elses. Also as I think you said elsewhere in the end all the lines sound the same with her whatever you ask - so its not so much consulting the Yi Jing as consulting Carol Anthony - but then I guess you could say that about any interpretation.

When we do this

maybe it can shake our brains up and we won't think anymore

Yes!

Heh heh and if Dobro thinks time is an illusion how come he was so worried about his pizza delivery being late a while back

Maybe he rang the shop and the guy said "Hey man chill, the pizza has always been, will always be and yet there never was a pizza" Dobro got mad and threw the Yi Jing which gave him hex 12

well he pretended to, heh heh

Ooh, now the devil?s advocate wants to come out to play. >--

--< Can a case be made for all this being an illusion? Sure! Every point of view has its opposite.

Naw, this is more fun!

I'll take the pizza - a REAL one!

(Please make believe that's pizza in my mouth!)
Hexagram 27 - very literally.
Void - how do you remember all that??

what the heck..

Illusion: a misinterpretation of an experience

According to this definition, any misinterpretation of an experience is an illusion.

So, perhaps it?s not a matter of whether something exists or not which makes it an illusion, but whether or not it is accurately interpreted. I mentioned earlier to Jeff that I likened hex. 60 to time. If 60 is the measure of time, then it is also the measurer of timing - which is synchronicity. Interpreting the time accurately keeps us from regressing into illusion.

With anchovies, I hope?

Remember what ? Do you mean the time Dobro was very naughty and posted lots of daft questions all with same answer. Lots of people fell for it and answered seriously. I thought it was very funny though I also thought he was having a bit of a dig at querents here, but it did make me laugh. Trouble is since then I suspect lots of people of the same trick. I think some people just make questions up and post them for a laugh to see how we'll react, so I'm often trying to suppress a very cynical reaction.

Yes - it was about the pizza man and Dobro.

Right now I'm reading up about your pregnancy question. (I'll be sure to answer on the right thread!)

So far - I'm getting that 4.3 may be more about the father and your friend having a baby with him than about the pregnancy....to be continued on the correct thread!

I suppose pointing out things are an illusion all the time is a bit like someone sitting next to you in a movie saying all the time "This isn't real you know, hes just an actor and shes not really in love with him" it kind of spoils the fun doesn't it. I mean we, the universe decided to play this game, we can't just stand around saying its not real can we, spoils the plot.

Aargh I don't know I'm just a primate who thinks too much, or maybe not enough - graphic needed of primate scratching head

I totally agree.
