My life's history on a couple sheets of paper!!

That's exactly the kind I was hoping for - something completely different. Mind you, I'm not convinced you <em>really</em> know what a mess is. A mess is when one reading's on your desk somewhere, two are on the floor next to it (as the floor is an ideal place for keeping things, since nothing can fall off it), one is on the back of the shopping list that's probably in the car somewhere, one might be on that piece of paper wedged under the wobbly dining table, several are almost certainly being used as bookmarks in one or other of your few thousand books, and an indefinite number have been chewed up for bedding by the mice behind the bookcase.

I dont like to keep an orderly notebook. I like the odd pile of scraps, other side of computer printouts, scrawls on the backs of cashier recipts, etc. I keep them in a big pile with about 7 translations all stacked on a yellow carpet. Then, when I go through to do a review, it's like a suspensful story coming to life...you know...'will i be able to find the reading that came after that???' ....and...'isn't there a 61 to 30 that came after that somewhere in here???" There is a sense of suspense in piecing everything together that brings the deeper life behind these readings to the surface. In fact, I just went through a review. I had put my books away for a while, feeling a lack of 'chi' with the Yi. I went back to my pile of scraps, and all of a sudden understood a reading that had utterly perplexed me several months ago. I was stunned by the fresh understanding. With the new understanding in my mind, I asked the Yi if I was finally 'getting' it, and got hex 50 as a reply. And, interestingly so, feel my 'Yi Chi' back and flowing. somehow, I wonder if I would have 'gotten' it, if it all my notes were in an order. Something about the mess helps me make connections. but maybe that's just my style. ; ) I kind of like to leave my Yi notes in a random pile. I dont like to keep an orderly notebook.
