I assume you realize that this question - and others that are very similar - have been asked and ‘interpreted’ thousands of times, with no final, definitive, or ‘correct’ answers.This is how i interpreted the line ....
Nope, mine is the only correct interpretation!but i feel it is healthy to be open to other interpretations
Or ... there are going to be lots of different interpretations, but I'm not sure where that leaves us.Nope, mine is the only correct interpretation!
This not my understanding. Instead:Currently, none of them claims to prevent infection (only to prevent severe disease), so in that they are very different than other classic vaccines.
I am curious then, how your interpretation of 22.3 > 27 is showing or indicating to you a 'range of outcomes'?I wonder if also it shows some range of outcomes?
Oh, I didn't mean that the line itself means "range of outcomes". The various translations I've read of the line seem to express along a spectrum. Some describe it as disagreeable, some poisonous, some say shame but no blame, some say no trouble. I meant that maybe these differences in interpretation and understanding could possibly be reflective of numerous truths (as opposed to just one being the dead on correct one). Just a thought I had reading the thread, may or may not be true.I am curious then, how your interpretation of 22.3 > 27 is showing or indicating to you a 'range of outcomes'?

Well, maybe the problems is reading or relying on too many translations and commentaries. What you are describing can be said for every reading and casting, so I think we better just stop this nonsense right now, because clearly we can't get reliable or useful information from the Yi!The various translations I've read of the line seem to express along a spectrum. Some describe it as disagreeable, some poisonous, some say shame but no blame, some say no trouble.
That’s not my perception of what I’m describing. I receive a lot of extremely clear and direct answers, even as a beginner. But often those questions are fairly narrow in scope. A question that affects millions of people might not have one neat, clean answer though. I’m fine with that because it aligns with how I perceive reality.I know that's an exaggeration, but I think that's not far off from what you're describing. Or are you saying something else perhaps, and I'm not really getting it?
Best, D
I apologize for being a bit overly 'pointed' and opinionated. One thing I was getting to was that these type of broad questions - like about our recent US elections, or where did the China Virus come from, etc. are perhaps not only too broad, but more importantly they are too loaded - and that even if the Yi were to give us a clear, concise answer, we'd end up with countless 'interpretations' of what the Yi is saying.That’s not my perception of what I’m describing. I receive a lot of extremely clear and direct answers .... But ... a question that affects millions of people might not have one neat, clean answer though.
we all should be willing to give up or 'sacrifice' our smaller (maybe petty, selfish, scared, uninformed) selves in order to help end the pandemic. Or at least that's what the Yi is telling us.
I was being at bit silly and sarcastic here, since I started out the paragraph with: "Therefore I pronounce the COVID vaccine to be VERY AUSPICIOUS" .... but admittedly, my auspicious sarcasm and wit don't always transfer as well as I think they do.You don’t need to be petty, selfish, uninformed nor scared to question
I think you are missing the point of what I was getting to here. I mentioned all these other diseases - and their accompanying vaccines when I was discussing the word 'No misfortune' from Line 21.3 which is part of the original query:I mentioned that it does not stop you getting infected and developing the disease, because .... Covid vaccines do not work like the ones you mentioned.
What, you don't want to get really deep into the weeds over, is the Yi is a sentient being or not? Chicken!This assumes the I Ching thinks. Don't get me started on that one...
This makes a lot of sense.This was certainly a very broad question..
"What does the Yi think?" This assumes the I Ching thinks. Don't get me started on that one...
"..of the Covid vaccine?" Which one? And what about it? Is it effective? Are their side effects? Can everyone take it safely?
To answer all of these questions with one hexagram requires a very broad - and thus rather superficial - answer. Thus we get "The vaccine is something like a small poison" which fits as a broad answer but it can't tell us whether it is effective and safe for everyone on the whole planet.
I don't necessarily disagree with you here, however, my interpretation above feels a lot more specific and less superficial, even when we're interpreting a really broad question.To answer all of these questions with one hexagram requires a very broad - and thus rather superficial - answer.
