Last few laws

Sunday, March 28th, 2010

… all still from Harmen.
Laws 5 and 6 -
If you cling to the answer you will lose the solution.
The symbolic replies from the Yijing can invite you to endless lingering in the field of metaphors, chewing on every possible piece of information that might or might not be meaningful to [...]

More laws of Yijing practice

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Continuing with Harmen’s Ten Laws of Proper Yijing Practice…
Law 3 -
Too much is less than enough.
“Can I expect any positive movement from P’s corner in the next couple of months?” I got Hex 10 unchanging. I get a sense that 10 means moving with caution. So I asked ….. “Why would he hesitate [...]

Laws of Yijing Practice

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Here’s a challenging post from Harmen Mesker: Ten Laws of Proper Yijing Practice Explained. While I’m unlikely ever to call anything to do with the Yi a ‘law’ (there’s a distinct shortage of rules graven on stone tablets for divination), this is a really thoughtful and thought-provoking article.

I Ching on Obama

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

A round-up of readings from the run-up to the election, with thanks to Google.
The earliest pertinent reading I found was from 24th May:
“What will an Obama presidency bring to the nation?”
Now, there’s some ambiguity around this reading: for one thing, by July the original poster was saying the question had been different; for another, the [...]
