What do you say that we just muddle through > the I Ching a hexgram at a time? May be we can find out what we wish > to know through our own mistakes? Dr> guess that is one possibility..my need at this time is information Dr> dealing with the time relationships, when a question is asked and Dr> several moving lines are received. Time span..good question. From my understanding the I Ching does not go according to time span, nor does it foretell the future, but it rather forth tells, that is tells you about yourself. It tells you how you will go if you continue along the path you are on now, it does not tell you what is going to happen. It tells you how, following the pattern you have set for yourself, will fare if you continue. It also gives suggestions as to what steps may be taken to realign yourself with the deeper pattern which you may well be running against. To misunderstand forth telling is to misunderstand the entire I Ching. Dr> ......there was an i ching studies Dr> institute in california at one time..they published an interesting Dr> calendar each year for sale. I would have liked to seen this. Do you know if they still exist? Dr> I have some information...a booklet which Dr> i assembled to give/sell to my students and about 14 diffeent Dr> translations. I would love to see it. Please tell more about it. Dr> unfortunately I have much going on here attempting to get Dr> the valley of light community back in operation & find people to join Dr> us. Will have to see what happens. What is the "Valley of Light" community? Blessings Rigisama
