Steps when stuck

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

Over at his ‘I Ching Insights‘ blog, Eric Bryant’s doing sterling work writing up the whole process of a reading: formulating the question, and interpreting the answer. And in the process, he’s run into an experience that’s pretty familiar to anyone who’s ever talked with the oracle: he’s got stuck on the interpretation. I’m really [...]

Yi on life purpose

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

A couple of days ago, I recommended the Divine Purpose Unveiled course, and all kinds of debate ensued.

Unasked questions

Friday, November 14th, 2008

A couple of my most startling, transformative readings lately have come when I asked questions I could and should have asked a year or more ago. The issues were on my mind – in some cases driving all I did – yet it never dawned on me to talk with Yi about them. It doesn’t [...]
