Hi Rashid,

If you take yourself over to the I Ching Community and ask your question there, you’ll get some good quality help. Without knowing your situation or the whole of your reading, I’d just suggest you think about whether you would fit in there now. Can you accommodate your way of seeing the world to the school’s? And if there are differences, can you work round them by thinking smaller - going back part time, for instance?

Quoque puella - I expect

“I managed to be one of these from the age of about 5″ Hey, I started when I was 4!

I liked your rendition - a thought to add? From my own life and wanderrings: For a community to stay healthy and refreshed it needs to send folk out into the wilds, or to other communities. These people are tasked to bring back what is needed. It could be a new technology for the company in which you work. Having said that, for me there is the ‘cast out’ theme in here too. When things become too ’sick’ some people almost cast themselves out - and go seeking what is needed. Highly recomended on this is, “Puer Papers” James Hillman 1987. About the ‘Puer Aeturnus’ not an easy read but one of those books where the images clunk into place heavilly with deep thuds. A must read for those who 38. It both gives 38′ers a wonderful mythic image of themseves, whilst telling them the unhearable truth. No heros without folly I’m affraid.

The downside is - get it from the library or speak to your bank manager first - its out of print and at a premium

All the best

For a culture to stay healthy it needs to enter into processes which re-invigorate it and clean out the old and the corrupt otherwise it becomes sick and then so do the people.

The Secret Sickness Pathways are those processes. One expression of the pairs mentioned in the article http://www.greatvessel.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=553&tabindex=1&DocumentID=2145

Maybe someone could get SK to expand on them

Hope this helps a little.

Glad you liked the site â€“ thanks –Kevin

Sorry, I wish I could. But I have no idea what’s meant by ’secret sickness pathways’. We’ll just have to watch the site to see these ideas developed.

Hi Hilary, Thanks so much for this months’ update. There may not have been many links but once again the few that were there were powerful! I especially loved the link to Greatvessl.com I believe it was called….Their insights in the reading of lines as well as pairs, amongst other things was very enlightening to say the least! Also The Secret Sickness Pathways is something I never heard of before & it was really explained in a way of my immediate understanding. They give the 10-12 Pairs that make -up the Secret Sickness Pathways. Maybe this is something you can teach further if you can shed more light on the subject, it certainly seems important enough! They also bring up the importance of knowing the pairs in greater depths and the relevance to your readings. Thanks again for the heads up! Sincerely, Lori Singer
