Hilary Barrett, I Ching

I’ve just been reading a post on Erin Pavlina’s blog about the metaphors that appear in her readings. Erin’s a talented natural psychic. She doesn’t use an oracle – she doesn’t even much approve of those of us who do. To read for someone, she tunes into her guides, and the first thing she receives [...]

Recent readings have given me a new application for Hexagram 54: the experience of relying on other people to work for me. The Marrying Maiden, poor little thing, moves into a world that’s several sizes too big for her, and has to feel her way into its relationships and possibilities.

Not much writing about synchronicity really seems to ‘get it’, but this most assuredly does: “Synchronicity is the connecting principle… between our psyches and an external event, in which we feel an uncanny sense of inner and outer being linked.
