Thank you for this video. I would have liked some discussion of the changing lines. Their importance and content. Perhaps in another video you can discuss the nature of the changing lines, not just the fact that they are changing.
Thank you so much for your clear and interesting video. I have been a friend 😁of the I Ching from an age of 17 years. Back then I didnt understand it, but always had and have a huge respect as if the book was alive. Now I,m 54 and when I ask my good old wise friend I Ching a question I can feel its loyal and unconditional energy for guiding me to the best posible choice. Its so profound and mysterious. I am trully greatful to have this friend lying on my bookshelf. Thank you again for your expalnation and bring it to the west of this Earth we live upon.
I Ching also appears in His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. It is used by a scientist to communicate with the angels of that universe, who live in different worlds.
I have received reliable results using the three coin method. The yarrow method seems a long process to keep a question in mind while in process, but I can appreciate the traditional aspects and symbolism. As long as the process is random then pertinent results arise.
Dear R Lai, I have sent you an email from your page at Wadham College. I live in Witney and planned to come to the Bodleian- Weston Library on Monday to listen to to you, but the rain was horrendous. Please read your email, I will be deeply grateful fr your response. I am doing Gene Keys and would love to learn from you the basics at least. My huge gratitude. Amina
In the end this is what Phillip K. Dick thought of the I Ching: "I don't use the I Ching anymore. I'll tell ya, the I Ching told me more lies than anybody else I've ever known. The I Ching has a personality and it's very devious and very treacherous. And it feeds ya just what you want to hear. And it's really spaced out and burned out more people than I would care to name."
That is a reflection of the diviner's own mind. You have to approach the I Ching with sincerity, modesty and the "need to know". I find that to get clear answers I need to do at least 35 mins of Zen meditation before presenting a question.
I've read this, too, and was surprosed by it because, to me, it means tha maybe Dick didnt understand the I Ching and devination in general as well as he should have before throwing. There are a lot of dead jerks floating around out there, and if u don't take that into consideration before throwing, you could get any one of them "answering" you (iow, screwing around with you). Dick also never mentioned psychic override, which my Guides use almost exclusively to speak to me through the I Ching, using hexagrams not in their original meaning but applying them to a standard English sentence. Example, 17, "to Follow", my Guides almost always use to mean "to Understand" (idiomatic use of "to follow" in English). It's just a lot more complicated than it seems, qnd I dont mean the I Ching, I mean interacting with that invisible stratum of life in general, the I Ching being just one method available
I thought Iching is just like a language to communicate? That's like saying I hate the English language because it tell me lies and devious. It makes no sense
Thank you for your time and for the demonstration

Thank you so much for this wonderful video! The last quotation from Man in the High Castle was very moving.
Very interesting and well-presented. Thank you. Best wishes from New Zealand.

So how does this relate to tossing the 3 coins 6 times?

It's a mechanism for the user’s deep subconscious mind to communicate with the user. PK Dick’s final assessment is very profound in many ways.
