Intuition of the heart

Sunday, April 30th, 2006

Here is a remarkable report from the HearthMath Institute about research on intuition and foreknowledge. People were wired up to all kinds of scanning equipment, and shown a series of images – mostly peaceful, with a few violent, disturbing images scattered through at random.

Images of Yi Jing

Saturday, April 29th, 2006

Images of Yi Jing I think I’ve linked to these once before, but Candid and Coyote have added more images. Sparse words and vivid images for each hexagram. If you make readings simply for meditation or to focus your awareness, I think these will help.

I Ching Community: What’s the deal with 24?

Great conversation between Stephen, Bruce and Rodrigo – read and enjoy. Life Theme Hexagrams – Great Vessel (I’ve been away for some weeks, hence the long silence here. I’m back now, catching up slowly, so this blog will gradually come to life again, too.)

What does synchronicity mean?

You might not understand how or why right now. And that’s not what’s important. What’s important is that things are invisibly connected. And there [...]
