Expel. ??? ICHING22.TXT *********************************************************************** The I Ching will not tell us the future because the future is forever uncertain. It is a realistic oracle that presents us with lines of action that we may follow. The I Ching gives us what we will call a 'forking prophecy.' This is...it tells us the current situation, and it gives us a branch or potential course of action or non-action to take. If we follow this branch, then the prophecy predicated will then come into fruition. That is to say the I Ching requires an active approach to life. If someone inquires to the I Ching and is told that they will win money if they take a trip to the southwest, and they go ahead and take a trip to the northeast, then they will not win money and the prophecy will be lost and forgotten. As students of the I Ching we must know that the future is uncertain and that we must take an active role in shaping our own destiny, lest we allow another to do this for us. All this thus said, we must keep the following information in mind when forming an inquiry: We should not ask the I Ching "Does he love me?" or "Will I get this job?" These questions can never be accurately answered because the future is simply uncertain. If you need answers like this, then there are plenty of gypsy ladies with Tarot cards who will be happy to take your money for telling you what you would like to hear. Rather, we should inquire unto the I Ching with a stated goal. Something that we wish to achieve. So instead of asking "Does he love me?" , it would be better to ask the I Ching "How may I foster and develop love with him?" Or instead of asking "Will I get this job?" , we should ask "What is the best approach to maximize my potential of getting this job?" Alternatively, if we are stuck in just a generally confusing situation, we can inquire unto the I Ching to gain clarity and weigh our potential options of loss and gain. There are two types of people who reside upon the Earth. Those who the world happens to and those who happen to the world. The I Ching is for those who wish to take a proactive approach to shaping their own destiny.
