How divination is like being a cello

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

I was just listening to a recording of a call from a couple of years ago, where I suggested that divination was like becoming a ‘cello. Then I stopped and asked if anyone had questions, and a nice participant told me that I’d just lost him with that last bit. On reflection, I could see [...]

Changing lines in groups

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

You can learn a lot about moving lines in the Yijing by looking at where they’re headed – that is, the hexagram that would be generated if this line alone were changing.
