Truth, confidence and captives

Monday, July 13th, 2009

Harmen has just published a new article, which is always a wonderful thing (even if I wish he’d translate his Chinese sources for me!). This one is about fu – that word from the name of Hexagram 61 that means truth or trust or sincerity or confidence, or ‘conforming’ in Ritsema/Sabbadini – or, on oracle [...]

Carol Anthony interview online

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

There’s an interview with Carol Anthony (author of Guide to the I Ching, Oracle of the Cosmic Way and so on) on BlogTalkRadio. It’s good to hear the voice after experiencing the books, and get some insight into the process that gave rise to them.
There’s a long introduction before the interview: the first mention of [...]

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 [...]

No time for the I Ching

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

Ever heard this?
“I know the I Ching works, but I don’t have time for it.”
Ever said it?
I have… which is more embarrassing than I care to think about. Naturally I have endless time to work on readings for clients, and work out the best possible ways to help people learn the I Ching, and even [...]

Earth revealing heaven

Monday, September 29th, 2008

It was some time after I thought I’d ‘completed’ my hexagram commentary to contribute to Change Circle’s WikiWing when I realised there was a line I’d completely forgotten. Hexagram 2, ‘using sixes’: the text that’s read when every line is moving, and Hexagram 2 changes towards Hexagram 1.
‘Harvest from ever-flowing constancy.’

Harmen cuts through Hexagram 23

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

Cutting through hexagram 23 – Harmen’s Dagboek. One of those splendidly detailed articles from Harmen I need to read over and over again. One thing that leaps to the eye: he mentions that one component of the hexagram name (as it appears in the received text) is itself used as a loan for three characters [...]
