Hi,

This week I was asking about a relationship and received 48 unchanging. I pondered over it overnight, and the next day I asked about going the next step, and received 48.5.

That made me think. Could it be that one of the reasons we get an unchanging hex is because the question is too broad, and then when we refine the question or thinking, the resulting hex also refines?

I probably shouldn't draw any conclusions based on one episode, but....?

Any thoughts?

that has happened to me too. a lot of times I ask a question and get the unmoving hex and then maybe I ask for clarification and I get the same hex with a moving line.

Pakua: So, master Yi, what do you think about this new relationship?

Yi: Trust yourself. You have everything it takes to decide whether this relationship is worth pursuing. Look there inside you.

Pakua: So, master Yi, what do think I should do about this relationship?

Yi: Drink from that which is already inside you. It?s clean and clear, and you?ll grow like a tree from drinking it. Oh, and be sure to make the water accessible to her too.

Hi Lightangel,

"a lot of times I ask a question and get the unmoving hex and then maybe I ask for clarification and I get the same hex with a moving line."

It begs the question why didn't Yi give you the moving line in the first place? I'm just theorizing, but it seems that something changed between the first and second question. Maybe after pondering the unchanging hex, your mind focussed on some particular aspect, maybe you started to have an idea of what to do, etc. Wouldn't any subtle change affect the outcome?

Thanks Candid, but what do you think of my theory? Does it hold water, so to speak?

In my example, I only got line 5 after I asked specifically about a course of action in the same situation as the first question. The first question was vague, sort of "what's going on" question.

So I'm wondering, ask a general question and get an unchanging hex, be more specific and get more specific answers within the same context. Would that make sense?

If it makes sense at the time, sure. But what of when it works in reverse? IE: Ask a question, receive hex with change line(s), ponder, ask related question, receive hex with no changes. The answer remains basically the same, only with more or less details. I think more than theoretical formula, it is conversational.

it's an interesting question, Pakua.
Maybe the first time it's telling you "this is the answer", the unmoving hexagram. When I ask for clarification, maybe it gives me a moving line for further explanation, as in "within the basic hexagram, you're about here or you need to think about this".
This brings me to a question I have pondered before: do you guys think that for one particular question at a particular moment time, there is only ONE answer that fits perferctly? Also, does the Yi 'know' what your resources are and is able to 'dumb it down' for you if necessary??
I feel like there can be many combinations that might express the answer to the question and I like to think that the Yi gives you the one you can absorb the best.
Also, does the Yi bend the laws of probability all that much. I mean, you might receive the same answer 2-3 times in a row but - overall - it's rare and it'd be even more rare to go beyond that. Sure you get reprimanded for repeating a question too much, but not always. Is the Yi moody? Is your Yi my Yi?

Hi Pakua, i like your notion generally. I am sure you can come out with something which come close to reflect the true nature of divination. See if i can come out with something later.

Lightangel,

?When I ask for clarification, maybe it gives me a moving line for further explanation, as in "within the basic hexagram, you're about here or you need to think about this".

Yes, I think that's the answer we receive, no matter what the question is or when and how we ask it: you need to think about this.

"do you guys think that for one particular question at a particular moment time, there is only ONE answer that fits perfectly?"

If a child asks their parent or teacher for advise, is there really only one answer to their question? And suppose the answer did not satisfy the curiosity of the child. Wouldn't the parent or teacher use another approach to explain the answer?

All this is as an aside from whether the answers come from our own ?big self?, higher power, Sage, inherent cognitive mechanics, or whether it comes from a being or super-being outside ourselves. Those differences have been argued repeatedly for years here, and probably for thousands of years before this Clarity board existed. I can only say that for me, personally, I don?t know. All I know is that it works. And it works in a personal way, as in a conversational dialogue, not in a reproducible or predictable systematic formula. For another, it could be entirely different. That too seems to be part of the Yi?s mystery. The constant is that Yi speaks to the truth in each person?s own nature.

To bolster what Candid has said here "and it works in a personal way" "for another, it could be entirely different."

I ask the Yi about the timeing for me to start seeking another relationship. It gave me 60.1.2.5 > 2!! I read this as a very good yes it is time to advance in my search. It did not tell me there was anyone out there intrested. LOL

Maybe not, Jerry, but if there is, that kind of levity should attract her.
